March 5.?After bein? Wn session the major part of thre< Ways at 11 o'clock tonight the con ~rerees on the general appropriations ttni had only agreed on an apparenl BHpuction of $87,0Q0 and on an act ffal reduction of $11,500. The conPferees adjourned late tonight withoul * reaching a decision. The house this afternoon in the committee on the whole adopted s in its conferees OIVV1VU VI , f 'he bill, Mr. Bradford, of Yorjc McLaurin, of Marlboro, and Mr e, of Sumter; and while not bindthem with specific instructions ed them in unmistakable terms it favored them trying to reduce evenue measure to $6,000,000 if this is possible. The conferees reported to the comt>ip Senate conferees had * tWVfV w??v w ? _ _ submitted to them a tentative schedule of particular items showing where they might agree to reduce the bill by $427,000 while the house conferees submitted a tentative reduction schedule amounting to $1,100,fepO. They could not get together. Items Agreed On. Hpt-fter considering twenty-eight secSfions of the bill item by item they had agreed on reductions totalling ??&7,000. This was an item of $30,rtf tV>p State Uuu xor tut? iiidiiiw v* w (WW.* X^tftnal Guard but the adjutant general and the governor were allowed to borrow this amount; $1,500 out of the appropriation for the printing committee; the elimination of a 510,000 residence at the State School for the Feebleminded and the elimination of $45,553, an item for the payment for the Brooks' farm mortage connected with the South Carokfcna Industrial school at Florence but jj^thority was given to pay the interest on the mortgage on the farm. % An interesting sidelight on the spirit of economy in the house was the adopting of a concurrent resolution providing for the payment of $100 for expense money to each of its members, the total amounting to $12,400. When a record vote was xaken on the resolution a majority of 1 frt its two memoers were ?#v ?vm adoption but a divided vote without the names of the members ballot appearing in the house journal the resolution was accepted by a vote of 49 to 29 and sent to the senate. x It appeared this afternoon that the conferees on the measure stood a M&d chance of getting together but was blown away when they reconvened after lunch and it appeared that both sets were mistaken in proposals made by eacn side. After debating the item thoroughly it appears late tonight that the breach is just ae wide as ever. It is understood that under no circumstances will the senate conferees stand for reduction of salary raises. Citadel Men Protest. The suggestion made by Governor Cooper to the conferees yesterday that it might be necessary for him to veto certain items among which was the building fund of $200,000 if the senate total was not reduced to S6.000,000 has caused a storm of protest to arise from frierds and alumni The Citadel. Every train today has brought Citadel men into Columbia and they have been besieging the ^Governor to save the Charleston in^:itution. It llgnation has been the prevail9Ac mood of the senate since last F- t against the position taken bj ^Governor Cooper and Speaker Thos P. Cothran of the house on the finance measure. This feeling has | popped out in the debate in the upIpe?? body and the executive and the Speaker have been ironically anc caustically criticized according to the feeling of the debater. The breach -- Koftrrfton tV>r? t.wn house' IS V? wvt?vw. _ and there is increasing ill feeling be tween them. Regardless of feeling, however members of both bodies realize thai the present drift is doing injury t< I**? departments and institutions Oj the state; for they have been withou' money since the first of the year anc Yin*- an official, clerk or other attachi depending on the state for his salar has received a penny for more thai two months. They know that this condition can not last and there is a feeling tha there will be some sort of com promise. W. J.
