go. "By the way, Cush., said he, as he put
his coat on, "can you give me the change
for $50 bill"
Senator Davis answered that he could &C

Bent ON Completing the Mills Bill.

WASHINGTON CITY, June 1l.-Etforts to
go on the calendar or fix days for any special
measures in the house have proven futile
and it now does not seem probable that the
tariff bill will be laid aside, even during the
Chicago convention, or that the house will
pause from the Mills bill to pass appropria-
tions, which will become exhausted with fiscal
year, ON the 3Oth instant. The majority is
bent on completing the tariff before any
thing else is done, and it is likely that joint
resolutions will be adopted near the end of
this month, continuing the present appropria-
lions for the several branches of the govern
ment, till new appropriation bills can be
passed, after the tariff is out of the way.
The house calendar is now composed of us
pages, including the index, and has upon it
1900 measures. The senate calendar has
only twenty three pages, the index included.
