testified to the previous good character OF the re-

the good character of the culprit Only
two or three witnesses remain to be examined, and
their testimony is of little Importance. Mr. Evans
has not yet arrived, and nobody knows his where

will be closed without him. The counsel seem to be
very anxious about him, but it is difficult TO see why
they should want him. He can simply tell that he
sent the money quarterly or sem-yearly to Mr'
Marsh, and that his agreement was with Marsh; 4;
beyond which he knew nothing. The Managers re-
gard the case as having been abandoned by the de-
fense. and are positive of conviction. The summing
up will probably begin tomorrow.

TT Is POSSIBLE WITHIN A FEW DAYs-GETTING on


WITH TIE APPROPRIATION BILLS FAMoUsLY.


lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.l


WASHINGTON July 12.-The prospect that the
dead lock between the two Houses OF Congress on
the Appropriation bills will be soon broken, and that
the several Conference Committees will be able to
report that they have agreed upon them, Is better
tonight than it has been before for several weeks.
Mr. Randall withdrew from the Conference Com
mittee Oh the Army bill to-day. and Air. Banning
was appointed in his place. At subsequent meeting
of the Committee an agreement was reached. Inc
conference ON the part of the Senate accept
nearly all the reductions in the expenses OF
the larmy proposed by the House; while the latter
yields the greater part of its new army legislation
and agrees to submit its propositions to a commits
sion. The transfer of the Indian Bureau from the
Interior to the War Department has never been
directly voted upon in the Senate so that the senti-
ments of that body on the subject are not known.
II is part Of the Conference Committees agreement
that the question of this transfer shall be voted
upon in the Senate, and il it is rejected then the
House will not further insist. Mr.. Randall does not
consider himself in any way responsible for this APP
parent surrender on the part of the House.


The Conference Committee on the Sundry Civil
bill has been in session the greater part of the day,
and members report this evening that an agreement
is probable The indications are that the Democrats
will be obliged to concede the point for which they
have been insisting in regard to the amendment of
the election laws by a provision of this bil and
postpone legislation that subject until some
future time The present Conference Committee on
the Sundry Civil bill has agreed upon all except %
amendments.


Mr. Randall is himself the authority for the report
that an agreement upon the Legislative, Executive
and Judicial Appropriation bill is quite certain, and
probably on the basis of the Morrill, proposition re-
ected by the House last week. The Conference
Committee on the Consular and Diplomatic Appro-
pration bill is likely to agree tomorrow in time to
make its report to the House 1t is understood this
evening that the cOnferees the part of the House
VIII accept the proposition made by the Senate 70
the last Conference Committee, that the amount OF
money appropriated for the foreign service of the
Government shall be substantially that fixed by the
House; but that the President and Secretary of
State shall determine its distribution. Unless some
thing occurs 10 prevent the Committee from agree
ing in the manner here indicated the final adjourn
ment of this session of Congress may take place
within few days.

IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIRUNE.I


WASHINGTON, July 12-Yaryan, formerly Chief of
Internal Revenue Special Agents, was again exam
med to-day by the Whisky Investigating Committee
The purpose of the inquiry the part of the Demo-
Gratis Of the Committee was to ascertain what the
relations of the President and Mr. Bristow were
during the Whisky Ring prosecutions. In order to
obtain this information the Committee asked Mr.
Yaryan what Mr.. Bristow at any time during the
year of the prosecutions may have said to him to
the statements OF the President. Mr. Yaryan
positively declined to answer this question. on
the ground that he did not consider that he was at
liberty to disclose confidential communications
made to him in an official capacity. The Committee
said he had no right to shield himself behind an
official privilege, and that they would give him
until tomorrow to determine whether or not he
would answer. Mr.. Yaryan was then asked TO state
what he understood to be the attitude of the Presi-
dent toward the prosecution, Mr.. Yaryan said that
he had no objection to this question. and answered
that the President was not favorable to the prosecu-
tions. He was then asked to give the grounds upon
which he arrived at this conclusion. This he also
declined to answer for the reason that they were
matters Of privilege.
