is not the onlv measure over which there
is a deadlock between the two Houses
of Congress. The River and Harbor bill,
which is now in conference, is net only
dead-locked but it was intimated this
morning that it may either fail altogether
or its further consideration postponed
until next winter. The conferees on the
part of both Houses are, as usual, reti
cent about what occurs in the committee
room. But the fact has leaked out that
the House conferees have taken a de
termined stand, and llatly infurmed
their Senatorial associates that thev will
not consent to the enormous increase
made in the bill by the Upper House.
The bill as it passed the House carried ah
appropriation f s9.00,0O0, in addition
to the f,500,0X provided for in the Sun
dry Civil bill to continue work under
contract. This made the total river and
harbor appropriations for the nex; two
years .ls,x)U,oO0 in round numbers. The
Senate increased the appropriation by
$:J.500,(XX). "j
The bill has now Ixen in conference
for some days and thus far the Senate
conferees have yielded only Oo5,000.
This is not nearly enough to satify the
representatives of the House. They in
sist that the bill as it passed the House
was as liberal a measure as could have
been expected, considering the depleted
condition of the treasury, that the iircrease
on the part of the Senate is not only
unwise when the straightened comlitions
of the national finances is remembered,
but that these increases have been made
with an amiable dtsire to please indi
vidual Senators and not because the ne- i
ce-sites of the case demanded them. The
House bill, it is contended, is an- liar- j
moniotH and well rounded and well con- j
sidered measure, while that of the Serude j
is not.', ia au agreement canut jv
reached, the House conferees, it is under
stood, may retire from the contest and
leave the whole matter in the air until
the next session. "
The prospects of an agreement cn the
taritF were much improved to day. For
the first time in many days the House
Democratic conferees came from the
meeting with the statement that previ
ous irreconciliable ditrerences w?rein
process of amicable adjustment. With
much satisfaction the House members
stated to their associates that the Sena
tors had shown a disposition for the first
time to meet the House half way. As to
when a full agreement would be reached
there was some dilTe rence of opinion. One
House conferee said it would probably be
this week. Another thought it would
be "soon."' Chairman Wilson would not
even admit that the understanding had

SENATE.
Washington, July 31. The ftupify
ing dullness of the Senate pro veil in gs;
to-day was interrupte-d but not enlivened
by a repetition of the discussion which
comes up every year on the subject of a
site for a new building for the Govern
ment printing office. For several years
past there have been three1 rival projosi
tions pressed with about equal perti
nancy. The one which has had hereto
fore the most numerous partisans, in
eluding Senators Sherman and Teller, is ,
the acquisition of the square known as
"Mahone lot," not far from the present
building. The next in point of number
of supporters, including the chairman
of the Committee on Printing in the last
Congress, Senator Mandersdn, is the pur
chase of the square known as the "base
ball lot." And the third, of which the
chairman ef the Committee on Printing.
Senator Gorman, is the chief advocate,
is the retention of the present building
and the acquisition of adjoining prop
erty sufficient-to erect an addition that
will meet all the requirements of the
Government in the way of public print
ing and binding. In the Sundry Civil
Appropriation bill, which came before
the Senate to-day, an amendment had
been reported looking to the purchase of

ever, that the conferees had at least done
some business and made progress to-day,
which was more than could have been
said of the past meetings. The Senate
conferees came from the meeting with
out showing the hopefulnessof the House
members. They said the conference was
as far from an agreement as it
had been. While there was this
conflict among . those thoroughly
informed of the inside workings of the
conference, the general belief prevailed
that the hopefulness of the House con
ferees had some substantial foundation.
One of the conferees said that while no
final agreement had been made on iron,
coal and sugar, yet that sufficient had
been eieyeloped in conference to show
that an agreement could be reached
on these three most important
items, which would be acceptable
to the Senate and House conferees and
to the House of Representatives.
Whether it would be acceptable to the
full Senate, this conferee expressed some
doubt. In this connection it developed
to-day that Senator Caffery, of Louis
iana, who has been most active in the
sugar question, had a long and it is said
satisfactory conferences yesterday with
Speaker Crisp and Chairman Wilson.
While the House conferees were go
pleased at the bright outlook, their Sena
torial colleagues contented themselves
with saying that while they were hope
ful of reaching an understanding, noth
ing had transpired in conference to base
this hope upon. They declare that on
the essential items of disagreement the
conferees are as far apart as they ever
were. An increased hopefulness that a
bill will be agreed upon is nc-ticeable,
however, on the part of Democratic
Senators who are not members of the
conference.
One of the leading :"eonsei vative"
Senators said as he was leaving the Sen
ate chamber to-night that the Tariff bill
would be finally agreed upon by ne!xt J
Monday, and he added thac the bill
would be virtually the same bill.
The day developed. the possibility of a
report of partial agreement, and while
the report at first appeared as
a vague rumor, its probability was
afterwards confirmed by Senators .not
members of the conference committee.
The fact that the conference ha I the
schedules other than those relating! to
sugar, coal and iron ore under onsidera
tion tewlav is one fact in confirmation1 of
the report.

THE POLITICAL ALLIANCE.,
The House bill to prevent interference
in the collection of State, county and
municipal taxes a-ssessed against corpor
ations and corporate property was taken
up and explained by Senator Coke. He
said that it was intended to apply, to rail
roads which were in the hands of re
ceivers, it having been held that all
power on the par of the States to collect
taxes from such railroads was withdrawn.
The passage of the bill, he said, was ab
solutely necessary in order that State
revenues might suffer no diminution.
The bill had been reported unanimously
by the Judiciary committee.
On objection by Senator Mitchell, of
Oregon, the bill went over until to-morrow,
and the Senate adjourned.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
The House transacted considerable
business in the threie and a half hours
that it was in session to-day, but little of
it was important. Most of the' bills
passed were reported from the Commit
tee on Naval Affairs, and one only was
of general interest. It authorized the
Secretary of the Navy, under proper
regulations, to loan to the States apply
ing for them such ships as can be spared
for that purpose, to be used for the in
struction and improvement of the naval
militia of the States.
Mr. Hatch reported the result of the
conference on the Agricultural Appro
priation bill, an agreement on all
items except the one ahnroDriating
$1,000,000 for the extirpation of
the Russian thistle in the Northwest, put
on the bill in the Senate. After discuss

Wings Are Not Good Thing for
Parties.
We notice from a perusal of the Wil
mington papers that the Democratic
partv in New Hanover has two wings.
We don't like to hear of such things as
that. AVings are well enough for angeU
and butterflies, but they have never yet
enabled a political -party to "get there"
Let the New Hanover Democracy dis
card its useless appendage, and emulate
the example of a nameless insect which
has no wings at all,' but nevertheless
reaches its destination on schedule time.
