Another Conference Ordered on the sun
dry Civil Bill
WASHINGTON CITY, Aug. 3.-The senate
Saturday authorized the finance committee
to investigate custom frauds during recess,
but laid over a resolution authorizing an
inquiry into the relations of capital and
labor during the same period A committee
was appointed to consider the expediency
on cost of celebration of the ID0th aniyers-
ary of the adoption of the constitution, and
of the tooth OF the discovery of America.
EvaruS offered a resolution requesting the
president to correspond with European ma
tions on the subject of the rehabilitation of
silver as money metal. After an exeeu-
tive session of four hours the senate ad.
journed.
Allison, from the conference committee
on the sundry civil bill, Monday reported
that the committee had been unable to
agree. He said there were certain points ON
which the conferees of the respective houses
desired to obtain Instructions The first
difficulty related to the appropriation for
the coast survey. The house proposed to
reduce the appropriation about 100000 be-
low that of last year, and to reorganize the
service, while the senate had amended the
bill SO as to continue the force as it now ex-
lists, but the serate had made q concession
to the house respecting the field force by
allowing its reduction from sixty four to
hfty-two as vacancies occur
Debate ensued on the other items of diff
ference, during which Beck expressed the
hope and belief that with the spirit of con-
cession eyinced, an agreement would be
reached before long.
After further discussion the senate in
sisted on its disagreements to the bill and q
further conference was ordered.
The chair presented the resolution offered
by Evarts on Saturday last requesting the
president to open correspondence with for
eIgn powers on the subject of silver, and
Mr.. Evarts addressed the senate.
Aldrich insisted on the regular order and
the resolution went over. The senate then
took up the house bill relating to the taxa
tion of fractional parts of gallon of dis
titled spirits, amended it so it will go into
effect the second month succeeding the
month in which it may be approved, and by
extending the act of March 3, 1877, (relatine

NJ, just issued by the public printer, is au
important addition 10 the rapidly growing
literature OF naval science. Under orders
from the late Secretary Of the navy, this
officer visited the dockyards of England,
France, Germany, and Russia, and has COM
piled an unusually valuable account Of the
advances made In naval construction by
those nations. At time when our coun-
try is rapidly awakening to the necessity Of
a naval armament commensurate with her
national greatness, such reports should

warded to all applicants. Our national
apathy upon the subject is mainly due to
our ignorance of the vast and powerful
