on the five remaining appropriation
bills looking to an adjustment of the
differences between the two houses. In
stead of adjourning last night, the
house took recess until 10 O'Clock to-

In the Sundry civil bill the house has
thus far persistently refused to accept
the amendments for public buildings
at the capitals of Utah, Idaho, Wyom-

the public buildings at Kansas City,
Savannah, Georgia, and Camden, N. J..

on four battleships and S425 per ton as
the maximum cost of armor plate.

In the Indian bill, which the house
has no less than four times voted on
