Mr. Morrill, in explanation of the report,
stated that Iho conference committe had

house bilk The measure, as determined
upon, was not exactly what he would
desire, but it was the best that he could
obtain. It would distribute $85,000,00P
among the poor soldiers of the nation.
Mr. Springer entered a vigorous protest
sgainst the manner in which the bill was
brought before the house. There was no
opportunity offered to members to ex
amine its provisions. Mr Canon favored
the bill on the ground that it would
place on the pension rolls 250,000 names,
and would increase Ihe pension of 50,-
000 men now on the rolls. The confer

addressed the senate. He said the
diverse action of the house and senate
had narrowed th question substantially
to the free coinage of silver. Mr Vance
next t.ddressed the senate. Nothing was
Iretter established, he said, than the fact
, of the necessity of more money for the
I progress and prosperity of the country
" Thpse wjjo had suffered most from the
depret intion of silver were the agricultu
ml classes of the country. The fann-‘
were so indebted that, if there was no aid
given in the way of increasing the circa
Intion, a large proportion of them were
doomed to bankruptcy and ruin. Mr.
Morgan next addressed the senate in favor
of free coinage. Without concluding his
remarks Mr. Morgan yielded to the mo
tion to adjourn.

'd the senate. He defended the amend
ments reported by the finance committee

A dispatch of Saturday says: Now that
it is settled, the house will puss the
Lodge Bow ell national election law hill
within the r \t two weeks. Speaker
Heed and toe other house leaders are
turning their attention to the senate.
Except in the matter of the ten years’
limitation, the silver hill, as it came from
ihe committee Wednesday, is practically
identical with the bill reported on the
25th of February from the same commit
tee by Senator Jones, which is now on
the calendar and under discussion.
The committee on appropriations
Wednesday reported to the house the
sundry civil appropriation bill making
HO pages, the largist appropriation bill
yet submitted. The bill recommends the
total appropriation of $27,640,513, being
$13,208,370 less than the regular nnd
special estimates, and $2,(528,H01 in ex
cess of the appropriations inrricd by the
Inst bill.
The house committee on elections has
decided to call up in the house this week
the Mississippi contested election ease of
Chalmers versus Morgan. This w ill !c
followed during next week by the Vir
ginia case of Langston versus Venable,
ind the South Carolina ease of Miller
versus Elliott. The committee has al
lowed $2,000 each for expenses to parties
to cases already decided, except in the
:ase of Cate, of Arkansas, who was al
lowed $1,089.
Senator Vance has written a reply to
:he letter of Superintendent Porter, ask
ing the senator’s influence in behalf of the
census supervisor of Asheville, N. C.
Senator Vance protests against the people
>f Asheville being made responsible for
the misdoings of n few or for the anony
mous circular. lie says he is sure that
the whole reported trouble in Asheville
is exaggerated, and that no more difli
ulty will be found in taking the census
there than in any other city. If the enu
merators, he said, know how to behave
themselves,they will meet w ith no trouble
in the discharge of their duties.
The proposition to raise, by popular
subscription, a sum necessaav to erect a
colossal equestrian statue of General
Grant and Lee at Cumberland Gap is
very generally commended by the public
men at Washington. Quite a number of
the leaders of both political parties, who
fought on both sides, were interviewed
m the mutter, and the consensus of
jpiniou is, that the sentiment prompts
this movement, is a beautiful and pa
triotic one, looking as it does to the ty
pifying of the magnanimity anil forti
tilde of two of America's greatest soldiers,
\nd preserving in bronze the famous
sceucs at Appomattox, when the two op
ponents clasped hands at the conclusion
>f hostilities.
The house, on Wednesday, added be
tween fifty ami one huudred million dol
lars to the annual pension rolls, which
now amounts to nearly $ 1 000,000. It
was done by passing a compromise meas
ure for the Morrill pension bill. The bill
provides for pensioning dependents who
served three months in the army at from
six to twelve dollars a mouth, according
to their condition. The bill also gives to
the widows of men who served three
months eight dollars a month and two
dollars a month to each child under six
teen. It matters not whether n man was
wounded or contracted disease in the
service. If he was on the mils three
months he got a pension or his wife and
children get pensions.
THE SITE SELECTED.
THE DIRECTORS DECIDE TO LOCATE THB
EXPOSITION ON THE LAKE FRONT.
The Chicago Times asserts that the
world's fair directors have practically de
cided to locate the exposition on the
lake front. An organized effort has been
made, it says, to clear the lake front o)
all its objectionable features by comics
to a definite understanding with the Illi
nois Central railroad, and that with this
end in view, all projects, so far as the
site is concerned, have been left in aboy
ante. i
