Some of the Uses to Which the Sundry
Civil Appropriation win Be Put.
WAsHIN6ToN, July 2.-The sundry
civil appropriation bill, as reported by
the Senate Committee, increases the ap-
preparation as compared with the House
bill, in round numbers, s., ,sO0, 900, making
the aggregate appropriation little over
S20,0OO,O00. Mr.. Springer's amendment,
substituting the salary for the fee system
in the United States courts Is stricken
out, as is also the House provisions linn
iting the number to be printed and regu-
lating the method of distribution of pub
lie documents.
In place of the last named the commit
tee has inserted provision referring the
printing and distribution Of documents to
the Joint Committee on Printing, with in
structiOns to report a bill next December,
making such reductions and changes as
they deem eXpedient. The House pro-
vision repeating all laws authoriz-
ing the appointment of the Ma
tional Board of Health is strick-
en- out and an appropriation of $4,000
made for the expenses of the board. One
hundred thousand dollars of the unex-
pended balances of former appropria-
tions is reapprOpriated to be used by the
President in case Of an actual or threat
ened epidemic to assist local boards to
prevent or suppress disease and to estab-
llsh and maintain more perfect quaran-
tine. The increase in the appropriation
is made up of large number Of small
items, the majority of which are of local
interest only,

LONDON, July 2.-In the Rouse of Com.
mons to-day Henry Labouchere gave no
tice that he intended, in view Of the pros
pect that the House of Lords would reject
the franchise bill, to ask whether Premier
Gladstone would create number Of Lib
eral and Radical peers to overcome the
adverse majority.
An important conference Of leading
Conservatiyesrof the INLAND counties was
held at Birmingham to-day. A resolu-
tion was adopted expressing approval Of
the extension of the franchise, but urging
the leaders Of the party to insist that the
scheme Of the redistribution Of Parli-
amentary seats shall be coupled with the
franchise bill. John K. Gorst, member of
Parliament, madea speech, in the course
OF which he denounced Premier Glad
stone for encouraging the holding Of
meetings to oyerawe the House Of Lords,
so that they would not reject the franchise
bill.

After the first half Of the message had
been read Mr.. Phelps retreated to a con-
Venient sofa, and all the others changed
attitude slightly.
YELL FROM THE vICToRs.
As the name Of the President at the
end OF the message was read, the majority
OF the Republicans burst into applause.
The leaders did not participate. Mr..
Reed tried TO check 1t, but Jailed, and
smiled. The Democrats hissed this
demonstration. Gen. Slocum had risen
to his feet and was waiting to be recog-
nIzed= As soon as he was recognized he
moved that the bill be passed, the Presi-
dents objections 10 the contrary not
wlthstanding. Then he sank back and
the roll was called. AS soon as the
result bad been announced the Democrats
began clapping their hands. The shower
soon became a storm of applause. They
cheered and pounded on the floor, and
several Of them threw piles
OF documents into the air,
to the terror of others. There
was lull and then they began again.
This was repeated three times. Mean
while the Republicans were Kissing, and
Mr.. Valentine, of Nebraska, and Sam
Miller, of Pennsylvania, were shouting
above the din, "We've heard that veil be-
FORE" At length order was restored, when
a motion to adjourn was made, but the
Democrats began again and cheered
themselves bOarse again and again. The
Republican Porter men were not so de-
monstrative. The bill will probably be
brought up in the Senate tomorrow. 1t
will command the same majority it had
before.
Gov. Curtin said tonight: 81 understand
that three Republican Senators who voted
against the Fitz John Porter bill will vote
for it, and so it will be passed over the
veto then as in the House."

HALF A YEARS FAILURES.
Startling Statistics Presented by II. G.
Dun & Co.

~ .
Dun & Co.
NEW YORK, July 2.-The failures for
the six months ending July ], 1884, are
reported by r. G. Dun 4 Co. to number
500, as compared with 4,637 in the first
six months of 1888, an increase of S7S
failures, or about Is per cent, The liza
bilities for the first half of 1884 foot up to
the enormous sum of 1924, ,000, 900, as COM
pared with $66, 900, 900 in the same period
OF 1888, or nearly double this, The
great growth of liabilities is directly
traceable to the recent panic, which has
mainly centered In New York CITY. This
conclusion is illustrated by the fact that
the liabilities in the past three months of
parties who have failed in New York COM
prises more than half of those noted in all
the failures of the entire United States
in that period. That the fail
ures which have occurred are
largely confined to speculative quar-
ters is shown by the fact that the average
Indebtedness of parties failing in the last
six months is $3S, 900 for each failure as
compared with but $4,000 in a similar
period of 1888. A higher average amount
OF liabilities has been reached in the last
six months than ever before. The
agency claim that the legitimate business
Of the country suffers no serious result
from these failures, and that the condition
of preparation for panic had been reach
ed, and that the balance of the year NAV
witness a fairly profitable demand for
merchandise, with results more satisfac-
tory than the first six months have shown.

How Some of the Important Bills Be-
fore Congress are Progressing,
WASHINGTON, July 2.-The fortitica-
tiOns bill, the last of the annual apprOpria-
tion bills, reached the Senate this after
noon, and has already passed under the
supervision of the subcommittee on Ap-
preparations. A meeting of the full COM
mittee has been called for 10 O'Clock to-
morrow morning, at which time it is eX-
pected that the bill will be passed upon in
season to report to the Senate as soon as
it assemblies. The meeting of the confer
ence committee on the legislative bill is in
progress late tonight, and meetings of the
conference committees upon the de-
ficiency and consular and diplo-
matte bills are called for tomorrow.
The second conference upon the naval bill
has not yet been called. There is no ap-
parent disposition on the part of the Sem
ate to recede from it's position in regard
to the points of disagreement, an, dwhile
a compromise is yet possible. the prOba-
bility is that the bill will fail, and an ap-
priatiOn upon the basis of last years navy
bill be continued for six months.
The conferees upon the electoral count
had meeting at 4:30 O'Clock this after
noon, but the House members were sum-
moned away to vote on the FitZ-JOhn
Porter bill and nothing was done. 1t is
possible that the work of the Senate will
be practically ended by Friday night, al
though the formal adjournment may be
delayed TO give enrolling clerks an oppor-
tunity to finish their work on the appro-
DrlatiOn hills
