THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
All the Appropriations Became Laws
Silver Conference Commission
Adjournment Of Congress.

Washington, bfuh. 4.-The house has
concurred in the senate amendment to the
sundry civil bill providing for the selec-
ton of delegates to the inter
national monetary conference, three by
the senate, three by the house and three
by the president. The senate
has selected Senators Jones, of Arkansas;
Teller, of Colorado, and Daniel, of West
Virginia, all pronounced silver men.
The last of the great appropriation
bills was sent to the president shortly
after 10 O'Clock this morning. There
were five bills on which the enrolling
clerks were engaged all night, the de-
ficiency, sundry civil, diplomatic, Indian
and naval bills. Final agreements on all
these we're reached during the night.
NEVER BEEN DISSOLVED.
The debate in congress on the sub ject
of an international monetary conference
shows that it is not generally understood
that the last monetary conference has
never been formally dissolved and that
the committee on the part of the United
States to that conference is really still in
existence.
The Brussels conference adjourned
with the understanding that it would re-
convene at the call of the United States,
but since then no official notice of any
sort has been given, and some authorities
hold that that conference, never having
been formally dissolved, is still in exist
ence and can be reconvened by the presi-
dent if he 80 desires.
SIGNED BY THE PRESIDENT.
Among the last acts signed by the
president was one to provide for the ap-
pointment of additional Judges of the
United States court in the Indian Terri
tory; also an act for the relief of Capt.
st. Vrain's company of New Mexico
volunteer troops, giving the members of
this organization all the privileges of the
war veteran.
HOUSE MONETARY COMMISSIONERS.
Representatives Crisp, Culberson and
Hit have been appointed as house men,
bers of the monetary commission.
ALLOWANCE OF A WAR CLAIM.
At o'clock this morning when the
house reconvened after four hours re-
cess there were exactly eleven members
ON the floor. The speaker was at his post.
Mr.. Baker, of New Ham pshire, had the
honor of passing the last bill of the final
session. 1t was bill to pay war claim
of Margaret Kennedy amounting to ST.
900.
CLOSING HOURS OF CONGRESS-.
In the senate to-day Mr.. Dubois offered
a resolution to amend the rules so as to
provide for the distribution of the ap-
preparation bills among the several COM
mittees of the senate instead of confning
them as now to the committee on appro-
priations. He asked its present consid-
GRAFTON. Senator Aldrich objected and
Senator Dubois gave notice that he would
call up his resolution on the first Monday
of the next congress. The senate at 4:05
a. m. took a recess until o O'Clock with
the understanding that no business would
be transacted until II o'clock, except in
with the conference reports.
SILVER FURRY IN THE HOUSE.
Mr.. Grosvenor, of Ohio, caused furry
by speech contending that the Republi-
cans were true friends of bimetallism.
The repeal of the Sherman act two years
ago, he said, accomplished more than any
other influence to bring about the hope
full condition of silver.
Mr.. Grosvenor's speech precipitated a
stir among the silver men, who all rushed
forward and appealed for recognition.
Mr.. Bryan, Of Nebraska, managed to
get the floor and Indignantly resented the
reflection made by Mr. Pence yesterday
upon the silver men who favored this
He was for free silver, but
he believed it the height of folly for the
United States not to join hands with the
other countries Of the world if they were
ready and willing to join in scheme
for the reconciliation of silver.
ADJOURNED SINE DIE.
At noon the SD congress adjourned
sine die.
