esaiion BY the Senate. Tho probabili.
ties favor the prompt passage of tbs

which were reported from the Senate
Judicial Committee last Thursday. The
discussion regarding the resumption Of
specie payments is expected TO run
through the week. but may very posi-
bly, be shortened in vie~ of the ~fullness
of the recent debate ON financial topics,
apropos Of the silver question, and by
reason of the accumulation o. appro-
priation bills received from the House.
Owing to the fordwardness of general
appropriation bills. it is thought that
eli adjournment Of Congress. sine die.
can take place toward the last of June.

sion of the tariff bill wall occupy more
than q week, and say that time will be
afforded for consideration of the Pacific
Railroad bills and other prominent

will be made this week to either lay the
tariff bill on the table or postpone il
until reAt session. which result would
be equivalent to its defeat.

LONDON, June l9.-The congress is ex'
pected to last many weeks. With Bulga-
ria. the subject for to-day's session, the
Times says it is characteristic of Prince
Bismarck hal be brought the congress
at once face to face With the chief diff
Guilty it has to overcome, for however
pregnant the Asiatic question may be,
with the important consequences, moth
ing compares in immediate import
ance aud on a certainty Of its ultimate
results with the proposed reorganization
of Bulgaria. The question is simply
whether Europe or Russia shall ex.
eroise pr~eponderant Influence in En-.
ropean Turkey. The congress could
not deal hastily or rapidly with a
question so important and so complex.
Its delays and frequent s~djournments,
so far from suggesting an %unfavorable
issue, only show that the congress is q
real, and not merely a formal assembly,
and that it will enter thoroughly into the
questions submitted to it. The truth is
it would be impossible to bring together
q body of such powerful statesmen mere.
ly to ratify foregone conclusions The
balance of the opinion pronounced OF
the congress viii be quite distinct from
the views of particular States.
Andrassy still insists that the Russian
occupation of Bulgaria shall cease on
the conclusion of a definite peace.
An authorized contradiction is given
to the report that the Turkish plenipo.
tentiAries have been instructed to with
draw from the congress and declare that
Turkey preferred to abide by the terms
of the treaty of San Stefano if the con-
gress voted to grant autonomy to Epirus,

THOSE who have hoped to have Eng.
lish made the universal language will be
pleased to note that at the frat session
OF the European congress, Earl Beseons-
field and Prince Bismarck spoke in EGG
lish. French has long been the recog-
nized language Of diplomacy in Europe,
but Beaconsfeld and Bismarck, by be-
ginning to talk 10 English, may make
the congress the starting point Of a phi
logical as we'll as political revolution
Besides, Bismarck may have an object
in view. This is not the fret time he
has resorted to another language than
French in diplomatic discussion. Just
after the termination of the war with
France, and when he was busy with his
great idea of exalting Germany, he had
occasion to send a diplomatic note 10
Prince Gortschskof, and be wrote it in
German, contrary to the custom Of send.
ing such notes in French. This was an
assumption that German was to be the
international language Of the future.
But Bismarck had his match on this
occasion, for Gortschakof sent a reply
in Russian to Bismarck's note in Ger
man, aud so checkmated the astute Ger.
man chancellor, compelling him to fall
back on the French. r..e
