The Senate amendments to the army ap-
nropriation bill were disagreed to and
the bill was sent to conference.
In accordance with the notice given yes
terday. Mr.. Henderson, rep, OF Iowa,
reported from the committee on rules an
order. making in order and not subject to
q DOint of order under the rules, as an
amendment to the legislative executive
and judicial bill, the bill reported by the
committee on judiciary, providing for the
conversation of United states marshals
and district attorneys by salaries, instead
of fees. He explained that the object OF
the order was TO get the proposed legls-
lation into the appropriation blll, Tor the
reason that it provided money to pay these
officers and. further, to effect, by getting
the provisions of the new bill in the appro-
priatiOn measure, reduction or @lb,OOO
in the expenses attached to these offices.
He read a statement showing that in the
past seven years there had been an IN
crease in the appropriations for United
States marshals of S756,O0O.
Mr.. Crisp. dem, of Georgia, said that
ordinarily he opposed the addition of new
legislation to an appropriation bill, but
he recognized the fact that If there was
to be any action at this session upon the
fee and salary question, which had been
before the House for many years, it must
be upon an appropriation bill, and he
would therefore vote for the order. The
order was adopted without division.
Mr. Daniels, rep, of New York, chairman
Of elections committee No. 1, presented
the report of the mjority on the Aldrich-
Robbins contested election case from the
Fourth Alabama district, and asked leave
TO have it printed. Permission was
given the minority to file their views not
later than Friday next, the understanding
being that the case will be called up early
in the following week.
The House. in committee of the whole,
then, under the five-minutes rule, resumed
consideration of the legislative, executive
and judicial appropriation bill for the
year ending June 30, 1897. Consideration
of the bill was completed, save the para
graphs covering compensation for United
States district attorneys and marshals

made to the bin. The para graph remaining
VIII be further considered Monday, when
the new salary law for those officers,
prepared by the committee on the judi
ciary, viii be offered as an amendment
to the bill under the order agreed to to-

the rule which prohibits the addition of
new legislation to appropriation bills.
