Summary of the Dally News, WASHINGTON MOTES. President Cleveland has signed the act repealing the statute prohibiting the appointment to the army and navy of persons who held confederate commissions. The senate committee on judiciary has decided upon a favorable report for the voluntary bankruptcy bilL The bill will be reported to the senate on the inst. During the past few weeks Secretary Carlisle has received numerous letters asking enlightenment on his intentions as to being a candidate for the presidency and it was reported from Washington as being probable that the announcement of his candidacy might come in the form of a reply to one of these letters. The river and harbor appropriation bill was finished on the 3d by the house committee which has been working on it most of the session.

The total amount carried by the bill is a few thousand less than 810, 000,000, or about 1,000,000 below the bill of the last congress. Secretary Carlisle has written a letter to Charles R. Long, chairman of the Kentucky democratic central committee, on the subject of his (Carlisle's) candidacy for the presidency in which the secretary said that he was more concerned about the party's platform on the money question than he was about being a candidate for the presidency, but that he would regard an indorsement by Kentucky of his services with great favor. The Louisville Courier-Journal calls on Kentucky to indorse Secretary Carlisle and nominate him for the presidency. A Washington dispatch on the 5th stated that the campaign for the republican presidential nomination had advanced so far that it seemed more than probable that William McKin-ley would enter the convention with a majority of uncontested delegates, organize the convention and obtain the nomination on the first ballot.

The managers of the opposing candidates, however, do not concede that there will be a nomination on the first or even the second ballot. GENERAL NEWS.

The mulct law won a decisive victory on the 2d in the Iowa senate, the liquor manufacturing bill being de feated by a vote of 22 yeas to 27 nays.

Washington, April 4. The senate was not in session yesterday. In the house Mr. Uitt, chairman of the foreign affairs committee, presented the conference report on the Cuban resolutions, and in the course of his speech said that he did not think President Cleveland would 'be so recreant to his duty as to disregard the expressed wish of congress" as to recognizing the belligerency of the insurgents.
