CONGRESS THIS WEEK,

overiadeu Calendars-small Chances
for Action Upon Anything Other Than
appropriation Bills.
This week viii open in the House with
ovcrladen calendars, conflicting special
orders for nearly every day, and small
chances for action after to-day upon any
thing except special appropriation bills.
An effort will be made by the public lands
committee TO pass to-day under a suspon-
sion Of the rules the bill requiring the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company to pay
the costs OF surveying and patenting its
granted lands measure that was called
up on the last committee suspension day,
aud which comes over as unfinished busi-
mess. The labor committee will TO day ask
the House to fix day for the consideration
Of the bills reported from the committee
and now on the calendars. The invalid
pensions committee will also make an at
tempt to secure n day for the consideration
Of the arrears OF pensions bill and other pen
sion measures. The second urgent def cheney
bill will be called up for action tomorrow.
This measure apprOpriates $G,000,000 for
pensions, aud Will probably open up the
whole question OF the management OF the
pension office. The foreign affairs commit
tee will then endeavor to secure final &C.
ton on the Chinese indemnity bill.
Wednesday is set apart for the considera-
tion OF the army reorganization bill, but II
is likely to be displaced by the report OF the
postoflice committee on the Senate amend
mcnts to the postofllce appropriation bill,
and lively debate may be expected when
the so-called subsidy amendment is reached.
II the banking and currency committee can
secure the floor on Thursday in accordance
with assignment, 1t will try TO pass one Of
the bills providing for the issue OF small
silver certificates. Saturday is assigned for
discussion OF the Dunn free ship bill. The
legislative and naval appropriation bills
Will in oil probability he reported to the
House during the week, and may be called
up for consideration, to the displacement
Of some Of the special orders mentioned
above.
Some time during tho week Chairman
Cox, of the committee on reform in the
civil service, intends calling mp for action
the report on the Warder-Stealey investiga.
ton, which recommends the dismissal Of
Warder from the employ of the House.
The general pension bill remains the un-
finished business Of the Senate, and II dis
posed Of before the expiration Of this week,
will probably be followed by the bank
ruptcy bill. The regular order will be
temporarily set aside some day not yet de-
termined upon for the purpose of passing
the military academy appropriation bill.
That portion of the morning hours not con-
sumed by the routine business will be de.
voted to the miscellaneous calendar.

TIE EXCLUSION SEASON.
Preparing for Next Month-New Sum-

Preparing for Next Month-Ncw Sum-
mer Resorts to be Established.
Active preparations are going on at the
steamboat wharves for the coming cxcur-
sion season, which begins on the 3Oth instant.
The steamer Jane Moseley is undergoing
thorough repairs at the Washington navy
yard, preparatory to making trips to Lower
Cedar Point. The steamers Arrowsmith
and Mary Washington are being painted
and oyerhauled at their wharves. The
managers Of the various lines expect the
season to he the largest yet llnown. No
new boats will be put on the river unless
necessity demands 1t. At Marshall Hal
in the way OF painting the buildings, plant
ing trees, laying out walks, and beautifying
the grounds with plants and flowers. At
Glymont proper no improvements are
going on. The property is now in
the hands Of a company who propose
shortly to build cottages and to erect
hotel and pavilion that will be the finest
on the river. They have bought the
japanese pavilion that was prominent
feature at the Centennial held in Phlalsl-
phia, and will erect 1t on the grounds.
When all these structures are erected at
Glymopt will become the leading pleasure
resort on the river. At Colonial Beach a
scene Of activity is presented; several fine
cottages are in course Of erection. The
hotel is undergoing improvements and the
grounds surrounding 1t are being put in
attractive order.
A talk with several rivermen revealed this
fact that the capitalists who arc now build
ing the Washington and st. Mary's county
railroad propose to make Point Lookout
the most famous watering resort In this
section OF the country. A magnificent ho-
tel is to be erected, and In style Of archi-
lecture they say that IL will be the equal OF
any along the Atlantic coast. The same
company will build wharves- for the large
transatlantic steamers, which are to
run between there and Europe. The com
pany propose to shorten the route between
this country and Europe by at least five and
| a half hours. Steamers are to run from
| Norfolk to the point to catch the southern
| and such western and southern passengers
| bound for Washington to reach there
| by rail In less than three hours.
| Before the war Point Lookout was famous
watering place, and was largely patroni2ed
| by southerners, and with this prestage in
its favor II is believed that money eau so
improve the place as to make it the attrac.
ton Of Washlngtonians. The saltwater
bathing there is by far preferable to any
| place on the coast of New Jersey, as there
Is no undertow. The surf is heavy enough
to give anyone q taste OF its power.
