ADJOURNMENT PROBABLE SATURDAY
verything to-day points TO final adjournment
on Saturday next 1t appears that yesterday
AFTERNOON one or two conferences were held
between leading members OF the House and SEN
ate, and general Plan for reaching adjournment
was agreed upon. The sundry civil bill was rushed
through the appropriations committee, and It is
being rapidly considered In the Senate to-day The

ylght With regard TO the naval bill II is probable
that the existing appropriation Will be continued
t Hntn next session, though there are some who
felture bills antChnese bill and others OF Import
ance VIII go over. The members OF the House
appropriations committee are unanimously OF the
opinion that they can get away by Saturday II the
Senate desires. All the matters In conference can
be settled very soon, they say, except the amend
all hope OF settlement as regards these. and saw
today that they think there Is no doubt that they
win simply continue the present appropriation for
points OF disagreement but the most difficult one
10 settle Is that relating to the payment OF clerks
for Senators. The House is very much opposed to
paying these clerks, and the Senate Is equally
determined to insist upon its right to regulate It's
own internal Affairs, without yielding to the dicta-
lions OF the House. Over this point there will I've
conslderable wrangling, but the House viii most
PROBABLY recede from its position.
