The question of Adjournment was sadly
nila,iicd by the action cf tue Senate yes
terday.
BY unanimous yea and nav vote IL

the sundry civil bill, aud by a majority
vote refused to accept the compromise on
the naval bin agreed 10 10y ghe Couferees.
TIE House is said 10 De- in equally as
stubborn mood aud 1t Is Row a question
OF back down on one side or The other.
The Senate gave its almost undivided
attention to conference reports on gen.
eral appropriation bills TIE first that
came before it was that on the sundry
civil hill, where no agreement had been
reached in conference
THE CHIEF CONTROVERSY
The chief point in controversy between
the two houses was as 20 a number OF
Senate amendments for the construction
OF public buildings IN the capitals of the
four new States, Idaho, Wyoming, Mon
tani. aud Utah, and for the increase OF the
limits OF expenditure IN buildings that
are being constructed in Kansas City, Nc;
savannah, and Camden, N j., all OF
which were resisted by the House con-
ferees. The Senate, however, by a uuani-
nous vOte-yeas, 5S; nays. o, insisted on
these public building amendments. and the
bill was referred back for further con-
ference.
The next conference report that came
up was on the Indian appropriation bill.
All points OF disagreement had been settled
in prior partial reports, and there had
only remained two matters To be adjusted
These were as to the payment of lawyers
fees on the Old SettIersOr Western Cherokees
claim, and as To contract schools for Indian
children.
NAVY IN DISPUTE.
Both these items We're now adjusted.
the first by an instruction TO the Secretary
OF the Interior To withhold the fund until
further legislation is had; and the second
by limiting the continuance OF the contract
schools, to the first OF July, 1897. instead
of 1898. The conference report was agreed
to without any contest.
The third conference reTO Ort was on the
Naval appropriation bill. It was a final
report, but it was disagreed tO-yeaS. Do
nays, 24-and the bill goes back for further
conference. The controversy was as
to the number of new battIeShips, the
compromise fixing the humber at three
and as TO the limit OF price for arrnOr
plate for those ships, the sCoufeenCe COM
promise fixing the price at $425 per ton.
The contention OF the Senate was for two
battleships and $3.50 ton; that of the
House for four battleShipS and $500 a tom
The Senate at $40 adjourned till Monday
at noon.
