ho senate

of the Pil'tv-third congress will begin its optimal existence at noon, a session of that body having boon called to confirm ihe new president's appointments. A11 the states have chosen new senators, either by election or appointment, except Montana and Washington. The republican governor of the former will appoint a republican to serve until the next legislature elects, and a republican is assured eventually from Washington, the legislature of that state being" largely republican. Counting the senators from these two states, therefore, as republicans, the new senate wiil be composed of forty-six democrats, thirtyeight republicans and four populists.

When the house met at S o'clock Mr. Ray erf, submitted the. conference re port on the general deficiency bill.

WASHING

TON,

March 4.—The last leg

islative day of tho Fifty-second congress opened in the senate wiih crowded galleries and wivh a pretty full attendance of senators. The first business that came up for action was the conference report ou the legislative appropriation bill. It was agreed to.

Tho conference icporls on the post oflice, agricultural and naval appropriation bills were agreed to. liou.se bill to continue the duties of per cent, on linen containing 100 threads a square inch (the rate now approved by law) was passed, with an amendment, making it take effect in lsiir, instead of 1804.

Tho McGarrahau bill was again taken up and Mr. Morrill moved an amendment referring the ease to the United States district court for the southern district of California instead of to the court of private land claims Without disposing of the bill the senate took a recess.

The Deflelenoy Ittlf.

After recess the corridors and galleries were jammed with people. The conference report on the deficiency bill was road to the senate. It showed an agreement upon all points except tho French spoliation claims, the Pacific railroad judgments and the clerks for senators, nil these being reserved for further action. The eunfi-renee report was agreed to and the senate voted to insist on the amendments not settled in conference and to have a further conference as to them.

Tli* humlry Civil Hip.

The conference report on the sund-y civil bill was then presented, showing-# several points on which the conferoni:t®| had been unable to ujfree. Senator

Allison, in charge of the bill, explained the report. The senate conferrees had receded from the item of 000 for the suitable entertainment, of special guests invited to the world's fair by the president of the. I nite.l States. The senate conferrees also receded from the other item of

{WS.UOO

for the entertainment by the government of the United States of such distinguished representatives of foreign governments as might be id. this country dun,-if the year. The other amendments from which the senate conferrees have receded were those to pav a year's salarv to the widows of Unet Justice Waite and Justice Miller, of the United States supreme court. There were now in controversy only live amendments, and after the senate should have agreed to the conference report he would move that the senate insist, on these amendments and ask for further conference.

The Work!*.1* Fair Amendments.

The report was then agreed to, and Senator Allison proceed to make along statement as lo the amendments relating to the Columbian exposition.The first, of them appropaiated 8:!01,orm for the completion of the government, exhibit at the worlds fair. The house not only refused to agree to the appropriation for the government exhibit, but also refused to make any further appropriation for the World's Columbian commission. And yet, if the fair was to be a success tho government was bound to make further appropriations.

S'enator Allison's motion that the senate insist on its world's fair amendment was then carried—yeas, at navs, 11.
