WASHINGTON, D. C., June 3.—After a talk yesterday between Senator Davis and Representative Merrill, chairman of the two committees on pensions, it was believed that an agreement would be finally and formally reached to-day by the conferees on the general pension bill. But when the House conferees came up this morning with the instructions of the Republican caucus of last night to maintain the principle of service pensions, it was manifest that agreement could not be secured under those conditions, and the vote to report a disagreement to the respective houses was adopted. The service pension feature was the only one of importance upon which the conferees could not agree.
