THE METAL SCHEDULE NOT YET SETTLED. Prospects of the passage of the Ship Subsidy Bills at This Scssion Considerad Better—Mis- cellaneous. 13 FormrreNTit STREET, Wisarxeron D, €, Sept. 24, When the republican conferees on the off bill separated this ufternoon until 9 o'clock tomorrow morning there were indi tions that the tariff bill was in some danger of final defeat, It had been found impossible during the day to como to an agreoment upon sugar and binding twine and the delay in settling these two questions by the con- ferees gavean opportunity for congressmen who were disappointel with the action on other schedules to add to the general feeling of dissatisfaction. Tt was stated during the afternoon that there were in the house at least forty members who said that thoy would not vote for the adoption of the con- forenco report if it did not contain this or that proposition in which they were particu- lavly interosted, and tho longer the conferees are in announcing the conclusion upon the measure the greater is the danger of ultimate failure. The metal schedule, which has been reported tohave been closed up, is not closed absolutely, and the 1ron men are hopeful of restoring the house steel billo which the senate per pound. So faras could be learned no impression was madeupon the northwectern senators who have announced ther intention of voting ugainst the bill in case binding twine is taken off the freelist by tho conferecs. Senator Sherman was quite despondent, and said to a friend hovery much feared an agreement was impossible, THE SHIP SUDSTDY BILLS, Representative Farqunar, who has charge of the ship subsidy bills, sala today that the chances were brighter for passing *these im- portant. measures before adjournment, 'he other day he gave up hope, but recent action by the speaker and the committee nas renewed his confidence. “The campaign committee have got out thoiv books, claiming to have ssed many bills,” said Faryuhar today, but by Leaving out the subsidy bills it makes our claims look like o circus bill with the anaconda left off. There are many sections that want the anaconda features and they won't be satisied with a long pro- e in which they have no interest,’ Farquhar says he lms been offe hearing for tho bills during the fi weeks of the next session, but has declined to putthem off until then. He is determined to sec them through this session, ana the committee on rules will supplement his wish by pushing them ta a yote if possible, AUDITING ENUMEHATORS ACCOUNTS, At the present time [there are about one thousand clerks employed in the census ofiice upon the accounts of the enumerators, of whom there were nearly fifty thousand em ployed during the first two weeks of the month of June. Tha enumerators in the ci of New York are the oply ones who hayve been paid for their services, Eyery possible effort is being made to closeap the ‘other accounts with the utmost possible speed, but the care- lossness of the enmmerators themselyes in sending in their bills causes delay in abont seven casesout of ton, It is impossivle to say positively when any particular set of enumerators will receive the compensation due them for their services, The office is ex- amining accounts and paying each as fast as itis foandto be correct. A great deal of complaint is heard (rom all quarters on the inadequacy of the' pay for the work per- formed, but althougi there are discovered many instances whero injustices were done enumerators, the only vemedy lies with con- gress, which based the compensation of the ‘enumerators upon the work done in toking the tenth census, which were not so laborious. Sinco the enumera- tion was cnmg\ewd anumber of the men em- ployed have died and the department has made every effort to.close the accounts of the deccased men before any of the others in order that the widows might not suffer in conscquence of the delay, but there are sey- cral unadjusted bills of ' dead enumerators., Some of thomen whodid the work are evi- dently suffering for the money due them. A very pathetic incident in this connection has just come to theattention of the office. As 5000 15 he bad completed his work one of the enumerators in Teunessee sent in his bill, 1t was found to be incorrect in several particu- lars and hewas advised to make the neces- sary changes. He did not seem to compre- hend wherein thoerrors lay. Ho scems to have waited patiently for his checic and to have gone to the postoflice duy after day in the hope of hearing from the government which he ~tried to serve faithfully. On one of these visits ho was uc- companied by another enumerator, who lisd been more fortunate in reading tho instructions sent to him. Enumerator No, 2 fouud n letter awaiting him, The letter con- tained the check in payment of his eloim and he showed it to No. 1. This was more than the unfortunate man could stand. He feared that h‘s lavor had all been for nothing and in afit of despondency he went home, and so- curing a revolver placed - the barrel to his head nnd tired. His widow will receive the small check, somathing like §35, us soon as the voucher can he made ont and forwarded to her. It will probably require soveral months to settle up all the accountsand in the meantime the enumerators have ouly themsclves to blame, s the delay is caused solely through the failure of the bills which they ‘send in to agree w every particular with the returns of population seit m on pos cards, The trouble in many instances to be that the enumerators got mixed on the special schedules and frequently charged for the sume work twice over. It is necessary to use the utmost care and this seratiny causes the delay. MANAGERS OF SOLDIERS' HOMES, ‘The conferencecommittee, composed of rep- resentatives of the military committoes of the houseand senate, upon the subject of ap- pointments to the bodrsl of managers of the national soldiers' homes, made their report today to tho senate and it was agreed to, There were two controversies bafore the committee, the principal one being from Maine. The senators of that stato had recommended the continuance in oMoe of General Hyde, while Speaker IRood and Con- gressmen ‘Butelle awd Milligan supported General Farnham for the place. No agreo- mentof the partios conld be reached. how: over, and the conferews decidea to give them another year in whicli'to compose their dif- ferences, if possible, lfi the meantime, how- cver, (General Hyde rmains a member of the board until his suceessoe is appointed.

For the last week or two they have been i the republicans to clear off tho calendar without protest, but it seems to have occurred to the leadors of tho winority today that thero was a purpose iu the faclity with which the republicans were disposing of bills, and therefore Mr. Cockrell began objecting to the consideration of bills on'tho calendar, which vas swiient under the rules to postpone action. The domocrats WASIINGTON Brapaw Tite Ovams B, % have an idea that the plan of the republicans is tocloar up the calondaras far as possible 80 that when the short session begins in De- comber there will bo practically nothing in the way of the consideration of tho 1on bill beforo the appropriation bill comes in, The democrats, it is believed, will onden 1o block the game now by resorting to debate upon all measures that are proposed for con- sideration, POSTMASTERS APPOTNTED, Postmasters were appointed today as fol- loy Towa—Confidenco, Wayne county, James B.
