RUSHING APPROPRIATIONS.
The house committee on appropriations
intends to report both the District of COlum
bia and consular and diplomatic appropria-
ton bills during the present week. Mr.. Ran
dali has expressed his determination 10 get
all the appropriation bills through the house
as soon as possible, so they may be discussed
by the senate at an early day.
INTERSTATE COMMERCE.
The interstate commerce bill will be called
up for continued discussion when no appro-
priation bill is before the house. Mr.. Regan
hopes to secure action upon it Thursday.
MEXICAN PENSIONS.
When this bill is disposed of, the friends
OF the Mexican pension bill will endeavor to
secure action upon that measure. They will
will be antagonized, however, by the friends
of the educational bill.
THE DAKOTA BILL.
In the senate the bill for the admission Of
Dakota is unfinished business, and It's con-
sideration will continue daily after the morn
ing hour until disposed Of. A vote will
probably be taken on Tuesday.
SPECIAL ORDERS.
The first Of the special orders on the senate
calendar, and a measure entitled TO whatever
advantage that designation confers, is the
bill TO establish q commission TO regulate
interstate commerce. Should this measure
come up it is likely to consume the re-
mainder Of the week. II is understood,
however, that Senator Blair will antagonize
1t with one of his labor bills, now on the cal
Il ~ aI.,
cation and labor. Two other measures are
made special orders for the week, but it is
doubtful if they will be reached. These are
the bill declaring the forfeiture Of the Texas
Pacific land grant and the joint resolution
proposingan amendment to the constitution
in relation to the veto power.
1.-THE MILITARY AND NAVAL Bills.
The military academy appropriation bill
may possibly be reported from the appropria
tions committee during the week and b,
brought up for action in the senate. The
only other appropriation bill before the SEN
ate is the naval bill, making provision fo
the last half of the present fiscal year. The
sen ate prefers to revive the regular appro
priation bill of last session, and has asked
for a committee of conference. The house
has not responded as yet.
