that they have made any losses. What would,

JOURNMENr, ETC.
There yet seems to be a good deal OF diversity
OF opinion as to whether Congress will get
away this week, and il it does whether the
President will not again convene it In extra
session. While it IS certain that the Pres
dent will sign the legislative and army ap
preparation bills it Is certainty that he

agrees to resolution, which will probably be
reported on Wednesday by its appropriation

temrer Of members will not reconsider its &C
ton If the Senate proposes to lag on the army
bill. OF course If the exigency arose that the
the % time several hours; but It would not extend
it to an indefinite period or period OF much
length.
THE CHANCES
are that the Senate can get the army bill passed
by Friday If it wants to. Should the President
veto the judicial bill which action is considered
certain by both republicans and democrats, the
question is, will he call Congress back to pro-
Vide for the judicial expenses OF the govern
ment? week ago leading republicans said
that he would not; that the money for United
States courts was not needed until next Octo-
Der, and between that date and the date of the
regular session could be tided over 10 some
way, and deficiency appropriation bill might
be passed early in December to meet whatever
expenses might have been incurred. 1t is said
though, that upon more careful reflection the
President has changed his mind. 1t is stated
that Attorney General Devens has said that
the money for the federal judiciary would be
required after July 1St next and that unless
Congress made some suitable provision the
United States would have to go without juries
In Its courts; that 1t could not issue Wrt could
not even libel steamer, If necessary, and that
there would be deadlock In the entire judi
cial system.
THE WEEK OPENS WITH THIS OUTLOOK:
The judicial bill as 1t passed the House will
PROBABLY be passed In the Senate to-day with
out amendment. 1t will reach the President
On Wednesday. The veto will probably be sent
in on Thursday, but meanwhile both houses
may have agreed to adjourn On Friday at noon.

to extend the time for adjournment on account
