WAsHrSeroS, August 3.-Hale, from
,bs conference committee on the def
.isncy bill, submitted a report and pre-
.asded to explain it in regard to certain
claims for income tax (paid by non
-ssidsnt sliens) which had been regu-
ia-Iv estimated for and which the House
had psrtiaIly and the Senate entirely
m, IN the bill; it had turned out in the
Conference that there were some objec-
uons to some of these put in by the
Senate and the conferences recon-
mend that these items be referred back
IN the SECRETARY of the Treasury with
instructions to report 1t back 70 Con-
yress next session.
Hale explained a. 70 the item for the
Brazil Steamship Company. The ap-
nropYiation is struck out, and a clause

General 10 report st the next session

item 10 pay the Central Pacific Railway

Hoar asked how the appropriation
bills Of this session compared with
those Of the preceding sessions with re-
gard 70 the omission. The House items
Of appropriation were absolutely ne
cessary. The operations of the govern
ment depend upon the Republican
senate to put them in.
Hale replied that in his opinion this
practice of the House was becoming
worse from year TO year. The Senate
found bills sent over from the House
fractional and incomplete. 1t would
find, for example, a page of regular
estimates one-third OF the items of
which bad been left out, while there
was no difference in point of merit be-
tween thsoeaomitted aud those included.
This did give rise to statements more or
less declamatory, in another branch OF
the government. as TO the eXtravagance
OF the Senate, while the fact was the
Senate vas very careful TO tut in
nothing not necessary to the running of
the government. There were impatient
utterances at being charged with these
increased appropriations and he was
bound 70 say for the committee on ap-
preparations that in dealing with this.
the subject had not been treated as a
party matter. the Democratic members
having manifested the same npatience
as the Republicans.

aggregsting more than 100000. and
said il was Just asl well known when
the regular appropriation bills were
passed last year that the sums appro-
priated were inadequate to the necessi-
ties OF the government, as il is to-day,
but they were not increased because
an opportunity was wanted 10 tell the
dear ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS eco

Eas agreed 10.
Allison, from the committee on APP
prop-iations, reported back the joint
resolution apprOpriatinG $500 addi-
tiOnal for the purchase OF lane for
site for tie Confessional library.
Plumb objected 20 its present con-
Sideration and 1t was placed on the cal
enoar.
Allison also reported back the House
joint resolution to continue the appro-
pristions temporarily.
Plumb and Edmunds objected to its
present consideration.
Allison asked that the objection be
Kit drawn and stated that il the reso-
buttons we're not passed the employees
whose compensation is provided for in
the civil bill could not be paid for
the time intervening between the last
day Of July. ana the day when that bill
would receive the Presidents sigma
lures.
Plumb declined to withdraw the objec-
ton, being willing, he said. to leave
WITH the House the responsibility for its
lardineSs IN sending appropriation bills

might parhcuiarize to SHOW where the
