WASHINGTON, d. G., May 18.-The Evening
Sta" claims the following to be an accurate
statement as to the prospects of adjournment:
The Democratic plans for the future if floating
reports prove correct, will be such as will not
necessarily prolong the session of Congress be-
yond the present month"; 1t is expected that
the Senate will dispose of the legislative appro-
priation bill on Tuesday next. As there are
several amendments other than those of a
political nature already added to the BILL it
will have to be sent back to the House for con-
curreuce in the Senate amendments. Anyhow
it is expected that the House will dispose of
the bill in time
TO SEND 1T TO THE PRESIDENT
next Thursday. The veto will probably be
sent in on Saturday. After it comes it is the
disposition of quite number of prominent
Democratic leaders to pass both of the disputed
appropriation bills without riders, protest Wig
orously agai nst the alleged abuse of the veto
power and ad journ without making any further
effort to pass the supervisors and deputy mar
shals amendments as separate bills. If this
plan is carried out it will be possible to ad ourn
by the 29th inst, and that date will be agreed
upon as sthe day for final adjournment, at a
meeting of the ways and means committee
Tuesday next.
THE FIRST VETO.
1t is thought at the meeting of the House
committee on judiciary, next Tuesday, the
chairman, Mr.. Proctor Knott, will submit his
report on Hayes message vetoing the bill to
prohibit military interference at the elections.
The report will be adopted by majority of
the committee, reported to the House and
adopted. MIR. Knott is engaged in the
preparation of the report As the joint rules
of the Forty-Fifth Congress were nct re-enact-
ed at the beg inning of the present session it
will be impossible to formally present to the
proc Ionf fho INV nhi ff,
the manner in which he has exercised his veto
power.
ARREARS OF PENSIONS
In response to a letter addressed to him by
Secretary Schurz, inquiring what amount of
funds can be made available monthly for the
payment of arrears due upon pensions which
were allowed prior to January 25, 1879, the
secretary of the treasury states that including
the amount already paid $2,500,00O will be
available prior to July l, and $2O0O,O 600
monthly thereafter. At this rate nearly the
whole of the next fiscal year will be required
to complete the payment of these arrears. In
view of this condition of affairs
the commissioner of pensions issued
to-day letter to applicants for arrears. which
says owing to the limited amount of money
available each month for the payment of ar
rears due those whose pensions were allowed
prior to January Sd, 1879. Comparatively a
small number of cases only can be adjusted
monthly, and therefore some delay may occur
in the settlement Of your claim, the right to
arrears is fixed by the act Of January rs, and
not by date of filing application therefor, and
therefore claims will be settled without regard
to date Of receipt in this Office but in such or
der as to distribute payments equitably among
the several pension agencies nearly can
be.
GEN. STANLEY TO BE CENsURED.
The record of court martial in of Gen
w. S. Stanley the charges of conduct un
becoming gentleman and prcjudicial to ser
vice in charging Gen. William B. Hagan with
cowardice, has been considered by the Judge
Advocate General of the Army and it has beer
decided to issue an order reconvening the court
at Governors Island, New York harbor, fol
the purpose of making up and presenting
more specific findings in regard to the conduct
of Gen. Stanley. The lprivate opinion OF all
the war department officers seems to be that
Stanley has sustained his charges against
81 azen at least to very great extent, and that
he has in way dishonored himself in bring
ing them against Gen. Razen, but it is CON
sidered that the interests of the service re
quire that Stanley should be specifically ad-
monshed against bringing charges, writing
letters and adopting the course which he ha
taken during the past few years in order t.
expose and humiliate Gen. Hazen.
