which have been made the special order
for that day. The same day has been
set apart for the consideration of
the bill to prohibit the importa-
ton of contract labor. The measure to
regulate presidential coun is also unfn-
ished business, and its friends will try to
ecu its consideration day after day I'M
til it shall be disposed of. The Senate
bill to provide accommodations for the
national library, and House bill to amend
the Thurman sinking fund act. are also
deferred special orders, and either ofthem
may secure enough votes for a considera-
ton this week. The general deficiency
appropriation bill, however, awaits action
on the House calendar and is likely to
push aside any other measure when the
appropriation committee insist upon it.
Mr.. Randall hopes TO be able to report the
sundry civil bill this week and it will be
called up for consideration soon as possible
after the passage of the deficiency bill.
The army appropriation bill will be report
ed to the Senate from the committee on
appropriations, and will probably be taken
up and passed Tuesday or "Wednesday.
The Legislative appropriation bill will
probably be reported to the Senate
Wednesday or Thursday, but may not be
called up for discussion before next week.
