The conference committee on the
naval appropriation bill made favor
able progress at its meeting. An
agreement was reached on all of the
principal points Of business, save
the clause adopted by the House
giving the secretary of the navy dis
erection to suspend work at such of
the navy yards as h6 may think pro-
itable. Another meeting Of the

The House, this morning, refused
to agree to the clause Of the general
deficiency bill providing for the pay
ment to senators of extra mileage
for the called session of the Senate
last October. This item has been q
bone of contention between the two
houses for weeks past, and the indi-
cations to-day are that the Senate
will recede from its position. 1t is
estimated that the allowance for
mileage for one session each year is
sufficient to pay the actual cost of
transportation t. Washington Of
the senators fully thres times.
The sundry civil appropriation
bill, which was passed by the Sen
ate yesterday, has not yet been con-
sidered in conference, but the points
of disagreement between the two

and the final passage of the bill by
Monday is expected.
The House this morning agreed
to the resolution providing for an
adjournment at noon Saturday. In
the Senate, however, the feeling on
the republican side was in favor Of
an adjournment onyMcRday.
The fax bill was called up in the
Senate this afternoon, and republi-
cans said they should endeaVOr to
pass the bill before adjournment. It
IS expected, however, that a quorum
will not be present IN the Senate on
Monday, and it is doubtful if the re-
| publicans will give further OppOsf-
ton to the democratic policy Of
talking the bill to death.
