Most of Them Have Reached the
President.
WASHINGTON. D. c., July 29-Of the
fourteen general appropriations two re-
main TO be acted upon by the senate,
four are in conference, five are in the
hands OF the president, and the other
three have become laws. The sundry
civil bill and the general deficiency bill
are the ones which have not yet been
reported to the senate from the COM
mittee OH appropriations. The commit
tee hopes to be able 10 report the sun
dry civil bill tomorrow, but the reaiiZa-
tion of this expectation depends upon
whether the committee at its meeting
tomorrow shall ratify the work of the
subcommittee. The general deficiency
bill has not yet received any attention
whatever from the committee on appro-
priatioDs. The bills which have re-
ceived the presidents signature and
have thus become laws are the pension.
the postoffice and the naval APP
preparations. The five bills which
the president still has under
consideration are the legislative, eXecu-
tive and judicial; the army. the diplo-
matte. the Notifications and the military
academy appropriation bills. Those in
conference are the Indian, agricultural.
the District of Columbia and the river
and harDor bills. The general deficiency
bill has purposely been held back so
that any necessary additions might be
made before adjournment. The Sundry
civil DILL has given the subcommittee a
great deal of work, and it has only been
by continuing its sittings every day dur
ing the past week and into some of the
evenings that the subcommittee will
have the bill in shape to report 10 the
full committee tomorrow. There have
been an unusual number of amend
mentS to this bill agreed upon by the
committee this session. and it is UNDER
stood that when the report shall be
made it will show a large number of
changes from the house bill and a con-
siderable larger aggregate appropriation
than was contemplated by the repre-
SentatiYes.
All the appropriation bills which are
in the conference stage have given the
conferees more or less work. as the
house has stubbornly contested the
senate amendments. 1t is understood
that there has been locking of horns
between the conferees for the agricult-
ural bill oyer the amendment appropri-
ating S1,000,000 for the determination of
the Russian thistle in the Northwestern
states, and that failure to reach an
agreement on the Indian bill has been
occasioned by differences on the Ques-
ton of interest to be paid by the gov
ernment Oil funds to be held by the
government in trust for Indians, grow
ing out of the sales of the lands pro-
vided for in the treaties which the
Indian appropriation bill carries.
The conferees OH the river and harbor
bill are sitting daily in the room of the
senate committee on commerce. The
house members do not appear pleased
with the senate addition of overS3, ,0O0, 600
to this bill, and some of them express
the fear that if the bill is sent to the
president i'll the shape in which it passed
the senate, it would he sent back with
executive disapproval. 1t is understood
that the appropriation for New York
harDor is ole OF the items to which OBJ
lection is made, and there appears to be
d disposition to make general opposition
to all the senate amendments providing
for continuous improvements.
