Washington, March 10 - The House to-day received the conference report on the Military Academy bill appropriating $1,700,000 for the maintenance of the West Point institution in the fiscal year beginning July 1 next. A provision in the bill appropriating $100,000 for the purchase of a building for hotel purposes just outside the academy grounds was ruled out on a point of order. Objection was made to a Senate amendment placing Brig.-Gens. Marshall, Brush, Hall, Hodges and Morton on the retired list as Major-Generals, and accordingly the bill was sent back to conference. The House then took up the legislative appropriation bill, which went over without action.
