which $3,500,000 is to be available during
the present year.
The original bill provided for an imme-
diate appropriation of SO, 425,000, and to-
tai expenditure OF about S4,000,000 in ex-
cess OF the aggregate appropriation con-
templated In the present bill. The
amended bill now authorizes the construc-

cost OF s., 800 600 each one protected dou-
ble-bOttomed cruiser, $l,500,0 900, and one

quired from the contractors.
THE NAVAL APPROPRIATION BILL.
The conferees on the naval appropriation
bill yesterday reached complete agreement
on the points Of difference between the two
houses. The item for pay OF the navy was
reduced from 50, 10000 to 100000. The
Senate amendment making an appropriation
for the completion Of the unfinished cruis-
ers was accepted by the House conferoes,
and the Senate conferees receded from their
disagreement to the clauses making provls-
for naval training ship to be stationed at

District Matters in Congress-.

There are good prospects now that the
District will get another day In the House.
The House committee on war claims has
reported favorably bill for the payment of
q bounty to District of Columbia voluu-
teers. II provides that bounty of 800
be paid to each soldier, or his heirs or legal
representatives, who volunteered and en-
listed after Jan. /, 1861, and was afterward
duly mustered into the United States SER
vice, prior to and under President Lincoln's
call for troops of April, 1861, for 5000
men; no person to receive the benefit OF the
act who has received any other bounty from
the government, or has drawn or been paid
any bounty heretofore for such service.
The committee on public buildings and
grounds Of the House failed TO come to any
agreement upon the proposition to pur-
chase site for the city postofllce. There
were twelve members Of the committee
present, and the discussion lasted over an
hour, the committee adjourning finally to
meet on Friday, when the discussion will
be continued. The committee is still split
between the three sites: The lie Droit build
ing square, Judiciary square, and the pres
ent site, Seventh street aud Louisiana ave-
nue.. The strongest vote any one Of the
propositions received was six out OF thir-
teen, and this has been given to two sites.

EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN; The
possession OF dogs is becoming ruinous
luxury in our city, For many of these un-
delightful aud dangerous animals, probably
far over one-half, no tax whatever is paid,
yet the amount actually received In this
wise last year was $14,3l7. A considerable
sum of money, which, II not paid for the
protection of a nuisance, might do good in
our community. There are some poor
among us--some who need and are entitled
TO preservation rather more than dogs can
claim. Here, in this city, too, only few
days since, dog was killed because 1t had
severely bitten a lady (the owner) and her
child. Similar cases are OF frequent occur
renee. Then comes the peril of hydro
phobla, calamity uuequaled by any in the
world. Once so attacked, abandon hope.
II delles medicine, All then 10 be done Is to
witness with horror the misery of the suf-
ferer and pray for his speedy death. One
human nfe, 20 unnecessarily wantonly,
cruelty sacrificed, O'erValuos the "wortl"
of the entire canine race. Our 'best
friend" of the dog tribe may ut any moment
become our most deadly enemy. 1t would
be only reasonable that the law should de-
clare Ills kind outlawed, SO that they might
be slain wherever seen. 3, ID,

A Proper IExpendItnre.

The Senate appropriations committee has
decided that the purchase OF the portraits of
ex'Attorney Generals by the dlsbursiug
clerk OF the Department Of Justice Is a
proper expenditure. This relieves the dis
bursting clerk of the necessity Of paying for
the pictures Of ex-Attorneys General DeYens
and MACY eagh, which he had purchased for
81 900 and for which he had been made per-
sonally responsible by decision OF the first
comptroller,

New YORK, July 2l.--The stock market
to-day, although recording more business
than usual last week, was yet traders
market only. Large operators are still in a
waiting mood, aud the transactions at the
stock exchange are likely to have little
significance until the public once more feels
confidence enough to take hand In the
game or some OF the leaders begin to sell
out on their following. The market to-day
was subject to fits OF activity and strength,
or vice versa. The market was alternately
strong and active and weak and duh
throughout the entire day, and different
stocks at different times left the market,
but general advance took place In the last
hour, and the market closed firm at about
the best figures Of the day.

ext December, thereby precluding
Yduring this session upon the two
contested election cases then pending be-
fore the committee. This proceeding ex-
cited the ire of the Democratic members of
the committee, but II was not believed that
the committee could be gotten together
again under parliamentary forms this ses-
sion, and the friends of the contestants had
about abandoned hope of securing de-
cIsion OF the contests. Yesterday, how
ever, Chairman Turner gave notice In the
House that he would tomorrow move to
discharge the elections committee from
further consideration of the contested
Rhode Island election case Of Page against
Pirce, and ask for immediate action in the
case. Mr.. Turner expresses the opinion
that majority Of the House will support
HIS motion, and thus render nugatory the
action taken by the elections committee at
its last meeting.

harms boiler more than fluctuations in pres

shows at once whether the pressure is uniform,

impossible, TO determine the amount of steam
