THE APPROPRIATION BILLS.
The House Managers Now Confident of Get
ting Them All Through.


Though the appropriation bills and other
legislation is dreadfully blocked in both the
House and the Senate. the managers are coufi-
dent that they will be able to get the appropria-
tons bills through. The greatest danger has
all along arisen from the presence OF the
bond amendment to the sundry civil bill Ii
is said that the danger has been relieved by an
assurance that the advocates of the amendment
will not insist upon il. OF course this amend
ment could be of no avail TO this administration
and Mr.. Cleveland and Mr. Carlisle are the ones
were all the advocates of the amendment. that
if it we're insisted upon it would result GER
tainly in the defeat OF the appropriation
bill. Mr.. Carlisle conferred with Mr. Cleve-
land on the subject and word was sent
about through the House this morning that
both these gentlemen were indifferent about
the matter and would not have the bill en-
dangered in an attempt 20 save the amend
ment. 1t Is generally conceded that an attempt
TO save the amendment would result in the
defect OF the bill and in an extra session and
there is too much besides in the way TO admit
Of any loss Of time in such squabble. The
silver men with the understanding that the
bond amendment is TO be stricken out in con-
ference are now willing that there should be Q
general Inconvenience in tie amendments
and q conference ordered.
The plan Of the managers Is TO get all the rest
OF the business that must be done in the House
through under suspension Of the rules In
order during the last six days

His Relations With the President Elect said
Not In Re Cordial q. They Were.


Not Ia re Rs Cordial They Were.
The story comes from New York TODAY that
eN-Secretary Fsirchild has Cancelled his en-
gagement for a suite 81 apartments at
a local hotel and that he has given up all
idea of coming on for the Inauguration.
The reason given for this action on his
part Is that the relations existing between
himself and the President-elect are bv no
means cordial they have boon in times
mast, and that in fact he feels as though
he had a decided grievance Egainai Mr.
Cleveland. II is said that some time ago
IN company with n number Of other anti
snappers" Mr.. Fairchild called upon Mr. Cleve-
land at the Mills building and that the CONVEX
sation turned upon the subject OF the Office ot
collector Of the port which his friends had
been urging Mr.. Fairchid 10 accept
Mr.. Cleveland made few very earnest re-
marks about Office seekers in general and the
matter Of personal sacrifices in particular
This Mr.. Fairchild is said 20 have construed
as thrust at himself. for he had been given
to understand by his friends that his
acceptance Of the collectorship Of the port
would relieve Mr.. Cleveland Of a considerable
amount Of embarrassment. For this reason, il
Is said. Mr.. Fairchild is not coming on for the
inauguration.

NEW York. Feb. 27.-Recorder Smyths this
morning heard the argument Of counsel for
Carlyle ". Harris for new trial. The appli-
| plication was made on the ground Of newly
discovered evidence.
| Harris. as it is well known, was convicted for
the murder of his wife, Helen Nelson Potts
Harris, by sending to her pills containing NOR
| phlne and telling her to take them.
Mrs. Francis McCready Harris. his mother,
was in the court room armed with a batch Of
afildavits which allege that her sons wife was
addicted to the morphine habit.
District Attorney Nicoll asked his honor not
to allow the affidavits to be read as they were
not authenticated. Those swearing to the
| attidavits were all in Pennsylvania. he said and
he therefore objected to them.
The court, however, allowed Mr.. Howe to
read them.
The first affidavit read was that of Mrs.
Mary VI. Frenet. 1t stated that Helen Potts
| In 1889 often called at her home on a
visit to her daughter, Ethel. That in jan
| uary, 1889. she visited her daughters room and
