THTLAPPROPRIATION BILLS. PROSIECTS, Spectat Dispatch to The Tridune, Wasmxaron, D, C., June 20,—The work of Congress now conedsts of the routine considern- tion of the appropriation bills, As a general rule the attempts of the Ilouse to Increaso the approprintions to-dny were unsuceessful. ‘The Democratie memnbera frequently exhibited great feellng towards the Appropristion sCommittee, and even the watch-dog of the Treasury falled to bark when thelr own families went by, Asn whole the bills of the Committee were sustained in the House. The greatest struggle was over the public bulldings. Mr, Holman, of the Committee, did not satisfactorily explaln why the bullding In Evansville, Ind., gets all that wig asked, while publie bufldings everywhere clse only obtalned from 25 to 60 per cent of the estimates. It was brought out In the course of the debate as o remarkable fact that of the twenty-two public bulldings provided for in the bill, eleven were in States that had representa- tives on the Committee on Appropristions. THE LEGISLATIVE BILL. Wicther the two louses of Congress will have gotten through the prineipal approprintion Lills by the close of theflsenl year seems now uncertain, but {t eannot be denied that the com- mittees of either Iouse having charge of the subject are working with unusunl zeal on all of the bills in controversy. Frequent confere ‘ences between the two Iouses huve been leld. ‘Some of those promise szood results, while othe ‘wa peemn vather hopeless. On the Leglslative, Exceutive, and Judiclal Ui, on which there are mearly s thousand amendwents made by the Scnate, there have been three or four conferences to-day, and thia evening each Touse has submitted o basls of compromfse, and, while nefther hus been ac- cepted nor rejected by the other, both Housea have hope that an ugreement will be resched. The basls of the settlement in either cnse has not heen Qisclosed, it having been ngreed that nothing should be sald of the proposition ont- Hdc of the Comumittee-room, but Doth Senators und members are more hopeful than they have been before that the trouble feared from o fall- ure o pass this bill will be averted. THE POST-OFPICE BILL. ‘The Conference on the Post-Office bill, it la ld, I8 not so promising in its results. The Beante's Conference Coinmittee on the bl fs composed of [T West, and Davis, and it s understood th t on the Bennte's three yoints, namely: the ainendments regurding the i\l,\‘ of Postmasters, puy of transportation, and Tamlin's rate on third-class matter, It I8 said this is the ulthnatum, and that if the House dues not agree, the Senate witl stand firm and allow all the post-oflices in the country to ho ¢losed, and the transportation of the mulls dis- continued, The endof the week, however, will ymhumy develop the whole strutegy of the twe Touses, with the chances of success of the va- rous billa.

THE ENFORCEMENT ACT. A8 AMENDED DY THE SENATE. Spectal Dispateh to The Tribune. WASHINGTON, June 23.~The Scnate discussed throughout the day, and passed, the bill to amend the Enforcement act. The bill was passed by nostrict party vote, Booth, classed as an Independent, voting with the Republicans. The debate was conducted almost entirely by the Democrats, who resolutely opposed every provieton and principle of the bill. The purpose of the bill Is to cure the defects in the orlginal Enforcement act, poluted out by the decisions of the United States Supreme Court in the Grant Parfsh and the Kentucky cases, end to frame a mew law which, while not belng llable to the charge of unconstftutfonnlity, khnll accomplish the pur- pose of the original Enforeement act. This, Ko nstute a lawyer us Senator Edinunds consid- crn, the bill passed to-day will accomplich, 1t remaing to lm seon, lowever, why this bill should have been passed at the présent thue, when only six days remnlu to pass the appro- printion billa, whose lmportance eannot be tnagnifled.
