lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUsE.l
WASHINGTON March 21.-Thc House of Repre-
septatives has como to put its shoulder to the
work of the session within the past two weeks,
and has pushed legislation forward with such
energy that there is now fair prospect Of early
adjournment.
To be sure, there are several important subjects
stiIl In the committees of the House which will
provoke long debate; but if the present disposition
to make all other business give way to the
necessary appropriation bills when they are
pressed for consideration continues, neither the
organization of the Army, the transfer of the Indian
Rnreau to the War Department, the tariff nor the
bill for the repeal of the Resumption Act viii cause
much delay in the adjournment Congress never
STAYS in Washington very long after the hot
weather begins if the appropriation bills are well
out of the way.
An examination of the journals of the House for tho
corresponding sessions of the XLIlId and XL1Vth
Congresses shows that the Appropriations Commit
tee is not so far behind hand with its work as has
been popularity supposed. Tie following brief
table shows the date at which each of the twelve
regular appropriation bills were reported in the first
session of the XLIIld and XLlVth Congresses re-
spectiyely and the date at which they were passed

session, as far there are any:

LORD DERBY ON ENGLAND's ATTITUDE.

LONDON, lnuf5uay, MaTch 1000
In the House of Lords, tonight, the Earl OF Derby
replying to long and discursive speech OF Lord
Srathedcn on Eastern affairs said for obvious rea-
sons the feet should not be sent into the Black Sea
at the present moment.
He protested against the repetition of unfOunded
statements relative to dissensions in the Cabinet
The Government had not, he said. asked that
Greece should enter the Congress on the same foot
ing as the Great Powers, but simply that she should
be represented as means of making her voice and
claims heard.
The Government had never proposed that Russia
should submit the peace conditions to decision by
the majority of the Congress.
They asked that all of'thc articles should be sub
mted for discussion, and discussion only, that be-
ing the only possible manner of deciding which OF
them affected European interests. This was the
sole question now at issue.
lie was not prepared to say what answer Russia
would give. but he thought tho demand of the Gov
eminent was reasonable and moderate, and unless 1t
was complied WITH there would be very little use
for the Congress to meet at all
