sent that the House disagree to the Senate
amendments to the bill granting general

MI Moody (Mass) insisted that the
House should have an opportunity to vote

eCall wanted similar assurance regarding
TIE homestead provision in the otll
The amendments were finally non-con-
Cured in and conference agreed to.
Inc conference report on the legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation bill

port was q complete agreement between

the President.
Upon motion of Mr.. Sherman m ",
chairman eof the committee on Indian at
fairs, the House went into committee of
the whole to consider the Senate amend
ments to the Indian appropriation bill. Mr..
sherman asked. upon behalf of his COM
mittee, that all amendments save three be
non-concurred In. The other three amend
ments related to the opening of the I'm
compahgre reservation the amendment for
the ratification Of the Kiowa, Comanche
ana Apache treaties and the free home

Practicable Hor.eles. Carriage.

The experiments with horseless carriages.
commenced four years ago, have resulted
in the manufacture of the Columbia motor
carriage, which seems to meet all the re-
quirements for popular use for both bust
Iess and pleasure purposes. The carriage
is propelled by electricity provided by
storage batteries and the mechanism COLI
trolling il Is simple and easy for any one
to operate with perfect safety. The man
ufacturers claim that the cost of running
the vehicle will not amount to more than
half cent a mile. The carriages are now
being manufactured and are on sale. They
are built upon the plan OF an experimental
carriage. which was constantly used in
and around Hartford. Conn, two years
ago. and which was successfully run 3. 500
miles over all kinds and conditions of roads
ard through deep mud and snow. One Of
the carriages IL now in Washington and
