From the beginning of the conference there |has been a stubbornness on the part of | the House conferees which refused to yield to |any treatment that could be applied to the Senate. It wus expected that the report would have been completed by today, |but there was ‘trouble over the Grand Army encampment appropriation.

It | was also the opinion of what must have been the majority of the conferees that $100,000 was more money than the executive committee needed, so the figures have been eut down to | $75,000 and provision has been made that this entire amount shall be taken out of the District | taxes. Because of the disagreement over this | item of the bill it is not improbable that the conference may last a day or two longer.

TTS CONSTITUTIONALITY QUESTIONED, But He Thinks the United States Can Loan Money. FREE COINAGE AGAIN. Messrs. McPherson and Morgan Speak on the Subject. a ‘ THE SENATE. Nota single one of the Senators who have been in attendance on the Minneapolis conven- tion was in the Senate chamber this morning when the session opened. There were but twelve Senators present on the republican side and e few more than that number on the demo- cratic wide. « The tirst indication of the democratic move- ment on Chicago was the granting of leave of sbgence to Mr. Voorhees until the 26th instant, pension appropriation bill wi ments was reported back from the committees on appropriat ‘and placed on the calendar. ‘MR. PEFFER'S LOAN BILL.” ‘The bill introduced by Mr. Peffer on the 26th of May, ‘‘to increase the currency and provide for ita circulation, to reduce the rates of inter- est and to establish a burean of loans,” was taken from the table and Mr. Peffer addressed the Senate in explanation and advocacy of it. It provides for the appointment by dent of three commissioners, to held their office in Washington, whoso duty it shall be to establish loan agencies, one at the capital of every state and territory and at other conven- fent places, suclf loan agency to be known as the central loan agency for that state or terri- tory. The business of those local agencies is to be to iend money to the peple on the plan of well-regulated real estate and loan agencies, se- cured by real estate. The loans are’ to be for not less than one year nor lony blank) years. ‘They are to be fer not 100 nor more than #2,800 to. any one person or family. There is no provision as to the rate of interest. _In order to provide fands treasury notes are to be issued’ equal in amount to $1.50 for every dollar's worth of gold and silver coin and bullion belonging to the United States—the bullion to be estimated at its coinage value. No banking firm, company or corporation is here- after to receive interest at a higher rate per annum than 5 per cent for short time or 4 per cent for a year or longer. There isa section in the bill providing for loans (at one-third of one per cent a month) by the bureau of loans for less than twelve months, on the security of personal property, wherever any state shall have provided warehouses for agricultural products, such as cotton, wheat and tobacco, and for manufactured articles that will not deteriorate by storage a few months. Much of Mr. Peffer's speech was in denuncia- tion of usury, which, he said, was breaking down the republic. The people, he said, were in earnest about that matter. ‘The republic would go down unless the people were saved; and-there aa no way of saving them except by destroy. ing the great evil of usury. The bill was in that line.

THE LIQUOR LICENSE QUESTION. Chairman McMillan of the Senate District committee is expected to return to the city from Minneapolis tomorrow. When he re- turns he will find a ood deal of interesting locul matter awaiting his attention. Of most importance is the License question, brought into prominence by the action of liquor men who desired to do business within a radius of one mile from Soldiers’ Home. Some tim ago the Senator introduced » comprehensive bill based on the law which isin operation in Minneapolis. It is believed that such a piece of legislation, with trifling amendments, would work satisfactorily here, and the Senator will probably do his best to have Congress make good the present deficiency. Tho District Commissioners are anxious to have a satisfac- tory law, the provisionsof which can be en- forced, but they are not nearly so anxious as are the ‘temperance people, who have for a long time ‘asking Congress to displace the present unsatisfactory statutes by # com- prehensive law. Senator Hansbrough has charge of the bill, and as he is underst to be favor- i to it xpeedy action may be con- ked for in the Senate at least, THE STREET RAILBOADS. On Wednesday afternoon Senators McMillan, Hansbrough and Harris will meet representa- tives of the various street railway companies.

As none of the republican members who went to the Minneapolis convention made their ap- Pearance in the House this morning there were not even any echoes of the big republican con- test tobe heard about the south endof the Capitol today. All the talk turned to the Chi- cago convention, and there was a good deal of it to be heard. The most interesting and significant feature that cropped out was the practical admission of the Hill men that Cleveland has an undoubted majority of the delegates to Chicago safely com- mitted to him. Up to the present the Hill men have not admitted this, but now they accept the situation and are w niotly but ically to prevent the ex-Fresident 20 swelling his following before the convention meets that he wi the will have necessary two- thirds to give him the nomination. As far as can be t at it seems to be the anti-Cleveland pl pd gna to encourage the booms of the fa tons of several states, so as to get them in the race, and thus the votes of those states away from ve THE MORRISON BOOM. This is the meaning of the sudden develop- ment of the Morrison boon in the last few days. The anti-Cleveland people at first undertook to e Illinois committed to Senator Palmer, but this they were unsuccessful, because’ the Senator did not care to have his name be general at the Capitol that lortison ® candidate, and the anti-Cleveland * people are doing all in their power to swell his boom so that, the Ilinois delegates to Chicago will through state pride be induced to go to him and support him on the early ballots. If the big vote of Llinois, which has the additional importance of being’ well up on the list of states, can be held away fiom Cleveland on the first ballot it will greatly sid the plans of those who donot want to sce the ex-! t nominated. THE CLEVELAND MEN ARE POSTED. But the friends of Cleveland are fully aware of what their opponents are doing, and it is eafe to say they will not allow the grass to grow un- der their feot in counteracting these efforts. Kentucky is another state in which the favor- ite son idea is being industriously inculcated, Senator Carliale is the man whom the Ken- tuckians are encouraged to support. ‘The friends of Cleveland are evidently some- what disturbed by the activity of the opposi- tion, but they claim that the ‘ex-President has now two-thirds of the del to Chioago and will be nominated on the first ballot unless the favorite son movement of the ‘opposition suc- ceeds in tying up « considerable number of his vot THE RETURNED DELEGATES. A Talk With Andy Gleoson—He is a Repub- Mean and Supports the Ticket. AStag reporter met Mr. Andrew Gleeson this morning just after he got off the train with his daughter from Minneapolis, and aaked him what he thought of the ticket: “Oh, I am a re- publican,” he replied. “I thonght that Blaine was undoubtedly the strongest man and still be- Heve that he is the greatest living American statesman. We could have won with Blaine easy. It will take a little moro exertion with Harrison,but you will find all republicans (and Iwant to tell you right here that the Blaine ‘men all are republicans) taking off their coats and rolling up their sleeves for the grand old but the I aid win @ basket of of and myself as tes. of course, assured. I coat the ballot of trict of Columbia for Blaine after Harrison had received a majority of votes. He is the great- eat living American; but,as I said before, [am a republican.” WHAT W. CALVIN CHASE SAYS. ‘Mr. W. Calvin Chase did not gain admission to the national convention in Minneapolis, but when he returned home yesterday he was wel- comed by acommittee of the Harrison and Morton League and escorted to his office, which had been gaily decorated with flags. “It was evident that his friends regarded his home- coming as worthy of celebration. Mr. Chase if, when seen this morning, seemed not to consider himself by any means a defeated man. “Of course,” he remarked, “I wasnot seated. but that was not because my causo was not just, but for the reason that I was not in favor of Blaine and Carson was. But the nomination was made that I wanted and I feel that the vic- tory is on my side.” ir. Chase said that the organization of the District central committee with which he was | connected would be maintained and arrange- ments would be made to hold a meeting to ratify the nomination of Harrison and Reid. Mr. Simon Wolf, who was chosen delegate with Mr. Chase, is not expected to return to the city until the latter part of the month. ee Saat HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETES.
