Gratis Sanguine of Capturing tho
Next Senate.

70 put the River and Harbor Appropri1p
ton bill through in the same way.
But in the rush for precedence .
clash IS possible among the different
committees having appropriation bills
In charge and it is the intention Of at least
one committee to endeavOr to displace the
regular committee suspension day" with
an appropriation bill to be pushed to pas
sage In q single day.
Nowhere is there any expressed inton-
ton to prevent the carrying out of Mr..
Mills announcement that he will ask tho
House to enter upon the consideration Of
the Tariff bill Tuesday. He is said to have
improved IN health, but some doubt is felt
as TO whether he has sufficiently recovered
to undertake the work he had reserved for
himself OF opening the debate, and as to
whether the Committee on Ways and
Means will assume the responsibility Of en-
tering upon the subject in his absence.
Tn weight Of opinion, however, in
clines to the belief that the Tariff bill
will be taken up at the time announced.
Should there be any change in the pro.
gramme concerning the tariff question the
week will be consumed in the considera-
ton Of appropriation bills, with possible
Interruptions in favor of special orders for
the consideration of labor bills and
measures reported by the Committee on
Agriculture. Saturday has been set apart
for further dis cussio Of the General Land
bill.
The Senate will probably spend the en-
tire week upon the Animal Industry n
Dakota bills. II is expected that in view Of
the prospective tariff debate in the House,
the Senate will act in quite a leisurely
a~~o ,,,xr oil v,aNto.r a,n~ hoF1~o e
for some time.
