WASHINGTON, July 2s.-The House passed
another resolution to-day extending the
appropriations of last year until the Sd Of
August.
Representative Kenna, OF West Virginia,
expects to leave for home next Tuesday to
attend the Democratic Congressional Con-
yention in his district on the following
Thursday. 1t is said there is no doubt but
that he will be renominated.
The House, at o'clock to-day, adjourned
until Monday.
The daughters Of Senator Pendleton,
Misses Jennie and Mary, have gone to New
port, r. l., to remain during the season.
The senator and his wife will CO. too, to
stay Immediately after Congress adjourns.
1t is now believed that Congress will not
be able to adjourn before week from to-
morrow, and that it will do we'll if it gets
through by that time. The last roll call in
the House showed an absence of over one
hundred and thirty members. Members
are leaving Washington by every train, and
it is doubtful whether there will be quo
rum of the House left here next week.
A roll call OF the Senate showed thirteen
absentees.
1t is rumored here, but not much cred
tied, that Senator Edmunds contemplates
resigning his seat in the Senate, and here
after devote his time to his profession.
Mrs. T. H. Crayton, of Wheeling, is reg
istered at the National.
Senator Camden left the city, last night,
to be absent until Monday.
During the debate in the Senate on the
q. II ~IG
both on the retired and active list were in
seats in the gallery and on the floor, lobby
ing against the proposed reorganization OF
that department, which is contemplated by
the bill.
The President has signed the bill appro-
priating $50, 900 to Mrs. Lucretia Garfield,
less any amount paid to James A. Garfield
on account ofhis salary as President OF the
United States.
1t will not be known definitely before
Monday whether the President intends to
veto the river and harbor appropriation
bill or not. There are those who speak
with confidence that he will do so, while
others, with equal assurance, assert that he
will not. The veto message would have to
be sent to the House, where the measure
originated, and as that body will not be in
session until Monday, the question will
probably remain in doubt until then.
The nomination of Judge Flick to be
United States District Attorney for West
Yiaginia, has been referred to the Judicia-
~ Committee, which will consider it on
Monday and report it to the Senate. The
appointment will be confirmed some day
next week.
The Cabinet held a long session, to day,
the subject under consideration being the
River and Harbor Bill.
1t is now believed that when the Naval
Appropriation Bill, now pending in the
Committee of the Whole of the Senate,
comes before the Senate, all the legislation
inserted by the House will be stricken out,
and that it will pass, making appropria-
tions for the Navy as it now exists. The
opponents of reorganization think they are
strong enough to do this.
