BUSINESS TO BE DISPOSED oF-AATTERS OF DIS

1t is the intention, II possible, to dispose Of the
internal revenue bill In the House to-day, so that
after Monday OF next week, which is District OF
Columbia day, the appropriations committee can
get the floor to call up the naval and the sundry
civil appropriation bills. Meanwhile, before ad-
Journment, the House has yet to act on the bill to
extend national bank charters, which the Senate
very inadvertently amended from the text OF the
House bill. In order to save time Mr.. Grape, who
has charge OF the bill in the House, will move to
suspend the rules, go to the Speakers table, and
send the Dill at once to conference committee.
So far as the bankrupt bill, which the Senate has
called up is concerned it is not believed that at
this session any law on the subject will be passed.
on Monday Mr.. Ketcham will report the agree
ment OF the conference managers on the District
appropriation bill, and 1t will no doubt be passed
In both branches on that day. After the appropri-
alton bills are out OF the way. the House will no
doubt pass bill to equalize the pay Of letter
riers OF the auxiliary class, and an effort is also to
be made to pass the postal savings bank bill and
the bill to reduce the rates for money orders.
