TIE BILL IN CONFERENCE.
The Committee Promise 10 Have it Ready
to Report on Monday Morning.


to Report on Monday Morning.
SPECIAL Telegram to the Sunday Rs0istsr-
CHARLESTON, w. Va, March 4.-The
Legislature did nothing to-day. The two
houses met at 8 o'clock pursuant to adj
iournment yesterday, and the Conference
Committee not being ready to report ad-
iourned till Monday morning.
The conference met with closed door
this morning and began its work, with Mr..
Brockumer in the chair. Fairly good prog
ress was made. nearly all the members be-
ing willing TO act in spirit OF compro-
mise. The Senate amendments were nearly
all agreed to and wherever cut could be
made without seriously hurting any part
of the State government it was done.
The supporters of the Prince tax bill
made an onslaught against the normal
schools, but they were given TO understand
in explicit terms by the other faction that
they would not submit TO serious injury
of these institutions. A deep cut in the APP
preparations for these institutions was,
however. agreed to. 1t is estimated that
reduction OF $50, 900 will be made in the APP
preparations for the first year, and $6o, 600
or sac, 900 in all will be saved.
One Of the first differences that disturbed
the work of the committee was on the
question whether the committee could
make any changes in the bill or consider
ANYTHING except the Senate amendments,
to which the House refused to agree. Mr..
St. Clair was Of the opinion that the COM
mittee could make changes under any
sub-heading of the bill TO which
the Senate had made an amendment
Mr.. cambridge and others held that the
committee did not have the power to con-
slider anything except the amendments dis
agreed to by the House. 1t is the general
opinion Of members Of the two houses that
Mr., cambridge is right, and that the House
wiz sustain him. Mr.. Mckinney, Of
Richie, was offended by ruling of the
chairman and withdrew from the commit
tee. He says he will vote against the BILL
The committee will work TO night and
promises to have the report ready to sub
NIT TO the two houses Monday morning.

His charitable impulses being limited by not

method OF assessing privately the rich of the
land percentage of their incomes, trusting Ia

that he Kept himself informed of the revenues
OF the different individuals, and had Ben Ali

Once when starting on one OF his regular

through dense forest, he came upon a Turk
deeply engaged in a solitary game of chess.

The South Carolina Factions.

The Georgia office-seekers have worried
ths President great deal, but not nearly
so much as the factions of the South Caro-
lima democracy. Each Of those factions
claims the federal patronage OF the state.
and SO fierce Is their contention that thus
far the President has not been able 10 reach
a decision as 10 whether tae offices should
be divided between them, or whether only
one faction SHOULD be recognizei. IL Is said
that the President, not having sufficient
time to hear all the Representatives OF the
factions had 70 say in behalf OF their con-
stituents, appointed Postmaster General
Bissell TO act as arbitrator. The Post
master General. although one OF the
most mild hammered men in
the world, soon discovered that
no decision be was likely to make would be
acceptable, and therefore when the fac ton
leaders called upon him he let them say
what they pleased. He had their remarks
which are said to have been spicy and full
Of personalities, taken down by a stenog-
rapher. These remarks, which, by the way,
have a striking resemblance to the speeches
that were delivered on the stump In the last
gubernatorial campaign in South Carolina,
will be submitted to the President, who Will
hardly find anything in them that will aid
him in making up his mind In respect to
South Carolina patronage
1t ought not to be a difficult matter for
the President TO reach conclusion as to
which faction includes the genuine demo-
Gratis Of the state. The Tillman faction was
against Mr.. Cleveand's nomination, and it
contains a large percentage OF Peoples
party men. No doubt Gov. Tillmsn in
tends to stand squarely by the Democratic
party, but macy of those who voted for
him at the last state election are not and
have never been in sympathy with Mr..
Cleveland's views It is doubtful if they
approve the principles Of the Democratic
party. The genuine democrats are now in
the minority, and may remain so for a couple
Of years or more, but there is not much
reason to doubt that they will ultimately
regain control Of the state. The people will
get tired OF Gov. Iillman aud his policies
and the third party movement will cease to
attract attention.
According to reports the meeting in the
Office of the Postmaster General was a
stormy one, the leaders of the two factions
nearly coming to blows. There were
charges and counter-charges, the exact
truth of which the Postmaster General
could not have determined il be had tried.
1t is understood In Washington that the fight
is not over by any means. IL has only got
fairly under way. From present indications
South Carolina appointments are giving the
President more trouble than those Of any
