The Hitches on the Appropriation Bills.
EXPECTED COMPROMISES AND THE PROBABLE
PASSAGE OF THE BILLS BEFORE NOON To-MoR-
ROW.
On the surface there appears to be but little
change in the situation of the House and Sen.
ate with relation to the appropriation bills since
Saturday, but there has really been great pro-
gress made, and except in case of some unforeseen
occurrence, it may be assumed that all the bills
will be disposed of by noon tomorrow. IN the
inner circles it is understood that the Senate
will agree to a compromise on the naval bill
House, and in return the House will agree TO
the Pacific steamer subsidy clause in the post
office bill, and yield up all legislation on the
Indian bill rather than lose the bill. AS to the
Indian bill. it is understood that both parties
are wavering and either is likely to give In.
