SUNDRY CIVIL BILL.
COnferees Disagree Upon Many of
the Senate Amendments

COnferees Disagree Upon Many of
the Senate Amendments
Washington, June 6.-The report of the
conference committee on the sundry civil
appropriation bill was made to the two
houses to-day and accepted by the SEN
ate
The reports shows a disagreement UPON
the more important of the Senate amend
ments, and concurrence in majority Of
the others by line House conferees.
Among the items upon which disagree
ment was reported are: For constructing
revenue cutters for service at Charleston
S. c.; for the establishment of fish cultural
stations in North Carolina, Georgia and
and Washington: providing a fund for
the Paris exposition. The above matters
will all be referred TO another conference
unless the House recedes from ITS former
action, which does not appear probable.
Among the more important items from
which the Senate receded, and which
therefore, go out of the bill permanently,
are the following: For the establishment
of a light station at Hnlsboro. Fla; also
the Senate amendment appropriating 81. 800
for the purchase of a portrait of EXPIRES
ideut Cleveland. Several of the amend
menis We're modified and agreed to.
Among the amendments agreed to are
the following. For Improvements at Dry
Tortugas pier and wharf; for a light and
fog signal station at Hooper Island, Ches-
apeake bay; for a light station at Cape
Fear, North Carolina.
