by Telegraph to the sentinel.l
WASHINGTON. May lathe Committee
on Ways and Means have fixed upon May
3lst for the adjournment of Congress.
Next Saturday evening has been assigned
by the House Of Representatives for the
consideration Of the bills reported by the
Committee on Education and Labor. The
members Of that committee held q confer.
ence yesterday for the purpose Of determ-
lining the order in which its various meas
ures should be called up from the calendar
for action, in case the committee actually
obtains the day, it being well understood
that all special assignments Of this sort are
liable to be set aside near the close OF the
session in favor Of appropriation bills. etc.

cided that 1t would be imprscticabie or
worse than useless to try to pass the anti.
Chinese bill at the present time in view Of
the recent appointment OF the Commits
sioner to negotiate q treaty with China on
that subject, and it was therefore arranged
that II the committee obtains the floor on
Saturday, the House shall be asked to
make the Fifteen passenger bill the special
order for the first Tuesday in December,
which will be the next day after the COM
mencement OF the Winter session. The
committee are Of the opinion that by that
time it will be clearly manifest whether or
not the Diplomatic Agencies now provided
for the solution Of the Chinese problem,
will have rendered further action at the
hands of Congress unnecessary. II the
COMMISSIONS shall then have failed to &C.
complish the desired result, the pending
bill will then be urged for immediate pas
sage, with the chances OF success incom-
parably greater than could be hoped for at
the present time. while both the House and
Senate have given their sanction to the
creation OF q Commissioner appointed for
the purpose OF dealing with the same sub
ject.
