STRUGGLE PREDICTED,
Western Associated Press.I
WASHINGTON, April 13.-The pension ap-
preparation bill was unfinished business at
the time of the adjournment of the house
last Friday, and under ordinary circum
stances would be conceded to have the right
OF way for next Tuesday. 1t has been an
nounced, however, by Chairman Morrison,
OF the ways and means committee, that an
effort will be made that day to call up the
tariff bill for consideration, and if this pur-
pose be adhered to, as is now
the intention, lively struggle will ensue,
with altogether uncertain results. Mr.. Kelley
has said that he will call for the aye and nay
vote on the question of consideration, and
leading Republicans say their side of the
house will oppose every step taken by the
friends of the Morrison bill, and they assert
that the Republican representatives., with the
exception possibly of three, will vote against
any consideration of the measure. Some Re
publicans, Kasson being of the number,
have expressed themselves as preferring to
allow the bill to be brought before the house
for consideration, and to try to kill it at
the first opportunity by striking out the
enacting clause. They have consented, how
ever, to vote with the majority of the party.
and oppose its consideration Republicans
claim about 100 votes on their side of the
house. They say that they will also have the
assistance of more than
FORTY DEMOCRATIC VOTES,
which would give them a majority if all of
the 325 representatives were in their seats.
Of the Democratic votes against considera-
ton, it is said that eight will come from New
York, twelve from Pennsylvania, five from
Ohio, three from New Jersey, five from Cali
fornia, two from Maryland, three from Vir-
ginia and one from Alabama, Delaware,
South Carolina, Indiana, louisiana, Con-
necticut, Georgia and West Virginia.
FFRIENDs OF THE BILL HOPEFUL.
The earnest friends of the bill have mott
fed all Democratic representatives to be pres
ent on Tuesday. They say that it will GER
tainly secure consideration of the measure,
II not on Tuesday then on some future time
not far distant. 1t is their intention to con
tinue their efforts, if necessary, day after
day, and to demand the yea and nay vote on
each occasion.
SPECIAL ORDERS.
If the house refuses to consider the tariff
bill on Tuesday, and the pension appropria-
ton bills not urged, the various pending
special orders viii doubtless be brought in
conflict for precedence. The order for
consideration of bills providing for public
buildings throughout the country, which
last week displaced prior orders, it is be
ieved will have the most strength Othe-
special orders are shipping billsr
a measure to establish a board of commits
sioners on interstate commerce and the
national library bill. The bill to forfeit the
Oregon Central land grant, which was left
ten days ago as unfinished business in com
mittee of the whole, is also among the posi-
bilities for consideration this week.
THE SENATE FILE.
Senator Hale, who has in barge the naval
appropriation bill thinks it will require but
one day more to pass it in the senate. 1t is
expected the postofice appropriation bill will
be reported in the senate Mon
day or Tuesday and members
of the appropriations committee
express the opinion that it can be disposed of
with one or at most two days. debate. If
these opinions prove correct the long-stand-
ing special orders, the first being the bank
ruptcy bill, will receive the attention of the
senate during portion OF the week.
