WASHINGTON. Jan. Q = Congress is
flooded with bills. In the house there
have been introduced in this session 49,
23S bills against II, 526 during the entire
life Of the last congress. According to
the average percentage OF the work done
at different atages OF congress, there
will be about 10, 600 bills introduced In
the lower branch Of this congress while
the senate will swell the grand total to
the nsighborhood Of IS, 600 or 90, 600.
In the house Of the Forty-seyenth
congress- only six years since, tie
total number of bills was about
5000, and in both houses OF that
congress there were scarcely 1000
measures proposed. Now the number
promises to be doubled. In the last
house there were nearly 1000 bills re
ferred to each of the committees on war
claims and invalid pensions. The num-
Der for the former committee, ii IL estf.
mated, will in this case be brought up TO
about 5000, while those for the latter
committee may reach 5000, nctw,th.
standing the impression that there Is not
% be q great deal OF pension legislation.
Friday win be private bill day, and the
prospects are that with the Intervening
time for committee work there will be an
abundance of matter reported for inal
consideration.
