SENT BACK TO CONFERENCE.
Omnibus Claims Bill Comes Up in the
Senate.

Washington, May 15.-At the close
bf routine business in the senate the
conference report on the omnibus
claims bill was Failed up. The house
asked for further conference but in
structed it's conferees not to agree to
the Selfridge board findings.
Mr.. Hale said the house had a right
to instruct it's conferees but the in
structions should not have been in
corporated in the message to the SEN
ate. That was an inadvertance, un.
doubtedly.
Mr.. Hoar thought the senate ought
not to yield it's judgment and undoubt-
ed rights and ought to insist upon a
free conference. To do otherwise
would be to abandon the dignity of the
senate. After discussion of the mat
ter by Messrs. Bacon, Allison and War
ren the senate agreed to further con
ference. The fortifcations appropria
tion bill was taken up. The measure
carries appropriations aggregating ST.,
| 946,461.

HOUSE COMMITTEE WILL WAIT.
In No Hurry to Make an Extra Relief
Appropriation.

Washington, May 15.--Members of
the house appropriations committee
are averse to calling a special meet
Ing of the committee for the purpose
of considering an additional appro-
priation for the relief of the people of
Martinique. They say that until it is
demonstrated that the amount of $780,
600 already appropriated is not suf-
ficient to meet the needs of the sui
ferers, it will be inadvisable to appro-
pirate an additional amount in view
OF the widespread donations now be-
ing made and the relief work that is
being done to succor the living and
