St. Louis. June 9.-There is already con-
and other party leaders who have arrived
as to the probable course that will he pur-
sued on the financial question, and it is be-
coming evident that this question will re-
ceive more attention than any other in the
committee on resolutions and from the del
egates generally. The possibility of bolt
by the free silver advocates in case Of the
incorporation Of plank in the platform
which they will construe as unfriendly to
silveris discussed freely in the hotel lob
bies, and by noas more SO than by the sill
yer men themselves Of whom there are al
ready several in the city. There has been
no general conference among them, how
ever. and will not be until the arrival Of
Senators Teller, Dubois, Cannon and others,
who are not expected until the latter part
Of this week or the first Of next.
1t is gathered from those who are already
here that the disposition to bolt the cOnyen-
tiOn is confined to but very few. One of
the most prominent OF the silver delegates
said to-day that the men from the West
felt that they mad been elected by Rcpubli-
can constituencies to meet In convention to
secure all the; could for silver,but that they
were not aut:nrized to bolt If they found
themselves In a minority, and that the
more they conferred. the more general was
the opinion that they should stand by the
Republican organization.

Washington, June 9-When the house re-
convened this morning the legislative day
Of Saturday was still In existence. There
was u fair attendance of Republicans. but
the Democratic benches were barren
waste. Less than half dozen of the mi
norlty we're on the floor. This refusal on
the part of the Democrats to attend the
session grew out Of the determination of
the majority to consider the contested cleo
ti0n case of Aldrich versus Underwood In
order to break the deadlock which con-
frOnted the majority a call of the house was
ordered. The doors were closed and the
sergeant-at-arms was directed to bring in
absentees. The Tucker rule adopted at the
beginning of the session was invoked for
the first time. 1t compelled members
brought In by the sergeant-at-arms to vote
on the pending question. The speaker
counted four members as present but not
voting.
When the time for debate expired, Mr.
Owens (Dem., Ky.) moved to recOmmit the
case.The motion was lost-67 to 3d. The
vote was then taken on the first resolution
declaring Mr.. Underwood not entitled to the
seat. The resolution was adopted-l19 to
SO. The resolution declaring Aldrich enti-
tied to the seat was adopted-116 to 1O7.
Mr.. Cannon presented the conference re-
port on the sundry civil bill. 1t agreed to
all the items in dispute except the public
building amendments. The final repOrt-On
the naval appropriation Dill was presented
by Mr.. Boutell and agreed to without d.
vision. The final report on the Indian ap-
preparation bill was also agreed to without
division. The members cheered tumultu-
ouhly as these reports were adopted.
partial conference report on the Dis
trict of Columbia bill was presented and
adopted The report left the electric light
ing question and public charities still open.
1t is believed that congress Will adjourn
tomorrow. but II not. then, not later than
the following day.
The senate agreed to the reports on the
naval and Indian bills and disagreed on
the District OF Columbia bill. The naval
report was for three battlcships and no
armor contracts until congress fixes the
price next session. The Indian report
permits sectarian appropriations till July l,
1897. In the conference report on the bill
change was made In the declaration
Of policy concerning schools. The word
"Indians'' was omitted SO that the dec
laration was broadened. 1t now reads:
at is hereby declared to be the settled
policy OF the government to hereafter make
no appropriation whatever for education In
any sectarian school," The provision ex-
tending the school appropriations to July
1, 1897. was amended by provision that
the amount shall be apportioned as nearly
as may be among schools Of various denom-
inatiOnS.
