WASHINGTON. AJFH EJ.--E3e regular
order in the house of representatives to-
morrow, after the usual Monday cal OF
states for the Introduction Of bills, viii be the
cal Of committees for motions and to pass
particular bills under suspension of the rules.
The call on the third Monday OF last month
ended with the committee Of mileage. The
commitse on library being the next succeed
ing, viii first be called tomorrow. It has
reported a bill, making large appropriation
for new congressional library. Some OF
the friends OF the measure have been desir-
Gus that an effort should be made to secure its
passage. l[r. Singleton, the chairman, how
ever, win make no attempt to have the bill
passed tomorrow, because the necessary
debate could not be had in the half hours
time allotted. If opportunity should offer,
however, later in the week, he viii try to Sc
cure consideration of the measure.
Other committees standing lower in the
List viii offer motions as follows: Committee
on reform Of the civil service, to pass the
bill repeating the four year term of Office OF
presidential appointees.
The committee on public health, to pass q
resolution directing the committee to in
yestigate the importation and expectation OF
food and drugs.
The judiciary committee, to fix day for
the consideration Of the bankruptcy bill.
The banking and currency committee, to
fix day for the consideration Of the AIcPher-
son funding bill.
The committee on coinage, weights and
measures, to pass a bin providing for the is
suance Of one, two and five dollar silver GER
tifcates.
The committee on commerce TO fix a day
for the discussion Of the various bridge bills.
The committee on foreign affairs, to fix
day for consideration of the bills reported by
the committee.
The committee on military affairs, TO pass
a resolution granting the use Of cannon, mus
kets and tents at the reunions of the Union
soldiers or state militia organizations.
The committee on naval affairs, to ask that
two evenings each week be set apart for the
discussion Of navy bills, except the steel
cruiser bills.
If the committees on public lands and
militia are reached in the call, the former
viii ask for the passage Of bill for the for
feiture of the California and Oregon land
grants, and the latter for the passage of a /
bill increasing the appropriation for the ben
eft OF the militia from 5000 600 to $500, 000
Mr.. Morrison purposes asking considera-
OF the tariff bill again Tuesday. 1t is be-
lieved the discussion viii continue on the
measure until and throughout Thursday.
There is only one appropriation bill now
before the house that has not been
considered, viz: the bill making
an appropriation for the District Of Columbia
The pension appropriation bill is still in com
mittee Of the whole. Members of the appro-
priation committee think it possible that the
army, legislative and fertilization bills viii be
reported during the week
The bill to encourage American shipping
has been made q special order for Saturday,
and viii be considered.
Consideration of the bills relating to presi-
Dental count and succession has been made
special order for Tuesday, but if Mr. Morri-
son calls up the tariff bill the latter viii take
precedence.
The measure creating q board of commits
ssloner on interstate commerce, and bills
making applications for public buildings in
various cities, are prior orders, and it is pos
sible, though hardly probable, they viii be
considered. Should a favorable opportunity
offer, an effort viii be made to have them
discussed.
The bill for the forfeiture of the Oregon
Central land grant, which was left to the
committee of the whole more than two weeks
ago as unfinished business, is also one of the |
possibilities fer consideration during the
week
The unfinished business in the senate is
the bankruptcy bin. It is probable it win |
be passed on Monday or Tuesday. The re-
naming special orders are bills relating to
practice in patent suits, and the senate ship
ping bill. The friends of the latter are con
fdent they can, if they wish, secure its con
at any time, but are undecided
whether to press it upon the attention of
the senate the present week, or await the
action of the house on the Dingley bill, and |
then take that as q substitute for their own.
The Indian appropriation bill viii probably
be reported and passed before the end Of the |
week.
