IN THE SENATE.
AGREEMENT ON THE NAVAL AP,
PREPARATION BILL.
COMPROMISE Is Effected-Chandler Deo
sires Information on Electoral
Laws of Certain States.

Washington, June 7.--When the senate
convened at II o'clock today the conferees
on the naval appropriation bill We're still
in session. No agreement had been
reached by the conferees and none was
Immediately in sight.
On the motion of Mr.. Cockrell, the sem
ate began the consideration of private
pension bills, the agreement being to con-
slider all of the object house pension bills
as one on the calendar Fifty-eight Of
the house pension bills We're passed. They
will be sent to the president for his sigma
ture today. An Intellectual attempt was
made by Mr.. Chandler to obtain consid-
Grafton for his resolutions instructing the
committee on privileges and elections to
inquire into the constitutionality of the
electoral laws of certain states. Mr..
Beery and Mr. Pettus simultaneously OBJ
jected. At AS a. M. the senate took a
recess for an hour.
Conferees on the naval appropriation
bill have decided to report a Disagree
ment after a session of two hours. The
conferees express confidence. however, Of
being able to conclude the controversy il
another meeting is ordered.
The conference developed the fact that
the representatives of both houses were
willing to make a neutral concession and
in reality an agreement, practically was
port a disagreement to both houses in or
der to test that feeling
The agreement eliminated all the in
land and coast work, confines the survey
to the ocean, eliminating all reference to
the lakes and to the photographic Sur
veys," and reduces the 100000 appropr:a-
ton by the senate amendment to $4,000.
This amendment as agreed upon will read
as follows:
"The ocean survey, including the wat.
ers of Cuba and the Philippine archipel-
ago, but not the coast thereof; and for the
purchase of nautical books, charts and
sailing directions and the freight and eX-
press charges on the same s50,0O0."
This is compromise in all respects.
The original provision in the house bill
, was for the ocean surveys only, and 1t
appropriated 100000 This settlement 10
said to be satisfactory to the superin-
tendent of the Coast and Geodetic Sur>
Vey.

London, June I'm the absence of any,
thing from British sources enlightening
the Boer statement that General Butler
requested a three days armistice, the mil

a revised version of the story will show
that General Butler summoned the fed

he will attack them.
Accordig to a dispatch from Lourenco

The strained relations between the Sec
retary of state, Marquis of Lansdowne,
and the British commander-in-chie of
forces, Lord Wolseley, appear to have
reached such a pitch that but for the ex-
dgences of the situation Lord Wolseley
would have resigned. It seems that Lord
Lansdowne attempted to usurp some OF

welded by the commander in chief and
the latter is now said to have laid the
whole matter before Lord Salisbury

correspondent of the Times, telegraphing

Ottawa, June T. The opposition in

opportunity to decide whether they wish
to come to America or not.
IF we were to find that many were
willing to emigrate, it would be neces-
sary to send agents ahead to look over
the field. and not lead the people into a
barren country. This would take some
time. We like you-the people. Were
the Beers to come to America, their re-
cent trial would never be repeated. Per-
sonally, I do not think that all Beers
would come, and doubt whether ma
jority of the Beers in the Orange Free
State and in the Transvaal would be
ready to leave their adopted homes
They are willing to trek further into the
interior if they have any assurance that
the British will not follow them, but gen

now there. But we shall be glad to hear

Governor Will Not Sanction the Use
of State Funds.

San Francisco, June 7.-At a confer
ence between Governor Gage and the
members of the state board of health the
governor stated that he would not sane
ton the expenditure of state funds to
combat the plague until he had secured
evidence of the existence of the disease
in this city. When he has fully investi-
gated the matter he will reply to the re-
cent dispatch from Secretary Of State
Hay asking for information. The state
board will notify all county and city
boards Of health in the state Of the con-
ditions now existing in Chinatown and
will formulate plan for sanitary in
spections throughout the state. Since
May 266 Chinese have left this cn1y for
interior points.
President Williamson of the local
board Of health has written to Consul
Pickersgill of Victoria, b. c., stating
that ne case of plague is known to exist
here. This was done at the request of
the chamber of commerce. which feared
that Victoria might quarantine San
Francisco and thus cut off the city's coal
supply.

"The British line from Heilbron through

State leaders that their bold stroke did
not prevent the fall Of Pretoria and has
left them with prisoners to feed when
their own supplies are meagre. The
clearance Of this eastern district of the
free state is evidently the first work
which Lord Roberts will order. 1t will be
greatly facilitated when Sir Redvers Bull

official news for several days compels the
evacuation of Laing's Mex and is to free
