WASHINGTON, June l0.-Tha house
has given its final approval to confer
ence reports on two of the four appro-
priation bills which were i'll issue, the
naval and Indian bills. The public
building amendments and the electric
lighting and sectarian charities items in
the District of Columbia bill stand be-
tween congress and final adjournment.
1t is the opinion of the house leaders
that an adjournment will be effected
and final adjournment reached on
Thursday at the latest. Most of the
day in the house was devoted to the
consideration of the Aldrich- Under
wood contested election case from the
Ninth Alabama district The Demo-
Gratis attempted to filibuster but were
overcome, and when the vote was taken
the contestant, Mr.. Aldrich, who is a
brother of the Mr.. Aldrich who was
seated in place of Mr.. Robbins of Ala
bama, was given the seat by a vote of
1l6 to 107. Fifty Republicans voted
with the Democrats against this action.
In the conference report on the Indian
bill change was made i'll the dcclara-
ton of policy concerning schools. The
word Indians" was omitted so that the
declaration was broadened. 1t now
reads: "It is hereby declared to be the
settled policy of the government to
hereafter make no appropriation what
ever for education i'll any seCtarian
school," The provision extending the
school appropriations to July /, 1897,
was amended by provisions that the
amount shall be apportioned as nearly
as may be among schools of the various
denominations.

ST. LOUIS, June l0.-Thero is already
considerable discussion among the dele
gates and other party leaders who have
arrived as to the probable course that
will be pursued on the financial ques-
ton, and it is becoming evident that
this question will receive more atten-
tion than any other in the committee ON
resolutions and from the delegates gen.
orally. The possibility of a bolt by the
free silver advocates i'll case of the in
corporation Of plank in the platform
which they will construe as unfriendly
to silver is discussed freely in the hotel
lobbies, and by none more so than by

NEW YORK, June 10.-J. L. Milhol-

by the hotels of ST. Louis. Mr.. Mil

THE SENATE SESSION.
Naval and Indian Appropriation Bills
Finally Agreed to.

Naval and Indian Appropriation Bills
Finally Agreed to.
WASHINGTON, June 10.-The senate
has agreed to final conference reports on
the naval and Indian appropriation
bills, leaving only the sundry civil and
the District of Columbia conference re-
ports outstanding. A night session had
been agreed to in anticipation of delays
and opposition to the naval and Indian
conference reports, but they went
through so speedily that the night ses.
sion was abandoned.
The resolution for an inquiry into the
circumstances of the award of the
statue OF General w. T. Sherman occa-
stoned an animated debate, Mr.. VOL
cctt of Colorado criticising the award
on the ground that it was an injustice
to the Society of American Sculptors.
Senators Allison, Hawley and Mills de-
Tended the award. The resolution was
finally defeated. The bill to amend the
law respecting punishment for con-
tempt of court was discussed by Mr.
Hill of New York and Mr. Allen of
Nebraska, but final vote was not
reached.
An effort to pass the Francis L.
Hoover pension bill, recently vetoed by
the president, failed through the alb
sence of quorum.

State Politics,

In another month the republican
state convention will meet at Aber-
deem to nominate state ticket. 1t
promises to be land mark in state
politics, and battle royal between
elements of the party which haye
been training for scrap ever since
the last legislature met. Robert }.
Gamble, the present congressman,
will undoubtedly be renominated.
Hon. j. 4. Picker will not contest
for a denomination, being a candi-
date for L. S. Senator, which will
leave n congressional vacancy to be
filed by new man. The candidates
for this position are Attorney Gen.
Crawford, OF Pierre; Judge Gardner,
of Rapid City; and Hon. W. S. Glass
of Watertown. The present indica
tions are favorable to Mr.. Crawford,
not based upon past lines
or affiliations, because neither man
has been particularly placed with
any facticn-unless it be noted, in
that Glass carried Coding-
ton county primaries upon the anti
railroad issue, as did Senator Petit

Politicians of All Glasses swarming Into

ST. LOUIS, June 10.-Politicians great
and small, black and white, and all the
intermediate shades of complexion from
all over the Union are swarming into
town. For the last week they have
been dropping in at odd intervals by
ones and twos. But now they are com.
ing by the carload. Although it is al
most week until the convention will
be called to order there is vast amount
of preliminary work to be done. There
are scores of contests to be argued be-
fore the national committee, and added
to this is vast deal Of routine work to
be done.

Believed but Few viii Bolt.

1t Is gathered from those who are al
ready here that the disposition to bolt
the convention is confined to but very
few. One Of the most prominent of the
silver delegates said that the men from
the West felt that they had been elected
by Republican constituencies to meet in
convention to secure all they could for
silver, but that they were not authorized
to bolt if they found themselves i'll q
minority, and that the more they con-
ferred the more general was the opinion
that they should stand by the Republi-
can organization.
Among the representatives from the
West, the name of NJ. H. De Young,
member of the national committee from
California and strong advocate of free
silver, is already being urged in connec.
ton with the nomination for the vice
presidency. When Mr.. De Young was
asked for an expression Of his views
rs TO
The Course of the Silver Men,
he said: "The delegates from the sill
yer states are very determined in their
desire to advance the interests of silver.
They want free coinage of silver at the
ratio Of 16 to 1. Some of them are very
radical and talk about leaving the con-
vention in case they fail to have their
views adopted. This action will not be
general.
"The silver men, especially of Colo
RADIO, Montana and other states, where
silver is an important factor, think that
If Teller would be nominated by the
Democratic party in Chicago there
would be no question of his endorse
ment by the two conventions that meet
in st. Louis on July %. If Teller is
nominated by these three parties my
private opinion is that he will come
very near being elected"

his own county. Coddington, to W.
$. Glass, candidate for congress, but
the latter has little show, and the
supt. is either lucky OF else he is an
artist in keeping other candidates
out Of the race.
Chas. Thomson, OF Hand, and w.

candidates for Secretary Of State.
Each has his own county instructed.
Mr.. Roddle made an unsuccessful ef-
fort to secure. the nomination four
years ago at Madison. hIr. Thorn
son has meyer before aspired to q
state Office.
The Auditors plum is sought by
John Longstaff, Of the Huronite,
and II. +. Mayhem, Of the Letcher
Blade. This nomination has been
always conceded to the newspapers
fraternity. We predict this nomina-
ton VIII furnish a - y fight be
tween a couple Of strong factions,
although it may not be conclusive,
because it will probably be settled by
that large element which can scarce
" be classed as for Or against either
faction, and which made the Huron
convention a harmonious gathering
with fair recognition Of the various
elements composing the party. The
contest may be taken, however,
simply in the negative sense. Mr.
Mayhem is the outspOken opponent
of Senator Pettigrew, and seeks the
support of his opponents, while Mr.
Longstaff is hardly identified direct
ly with either faction, although his
paper has been rather friendly with
the Pettigrew people,
The attorney generals Office will
be contested for by +. 5. Wilson, OF
Hot Springs, and S. Y. Jones of

For Lieut.. governor state senator
Foote of Brule, is so far the only
candidate; however, that nomina-
.tion, like vice president, frequently
goes to Il locality, or to an element,
as a "patch up"
Three railroad commissioners are
to be nominated, and it is possible
the present incumbents will be re-
renOminated. They are Conklin, OF
Clark; Johnson, OF Davidson; Bren-
nan, of Pennington. Conklin may
be succeeded by Il new man.
An interesting contest may beloOk-
ed for upon the platform, and con-
tingent thereon. upon the temporary
organization. Protection will be
unanimously endorsed, of course,
and it is very probable that recon-
mendations for railroad restriction
in some form may be included, al
though that feature may be hooked
up with the financial question, and
the two create considerable division
and a prolonged contest.
