The Programme in Congress.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.-It is probable
that the fisheries debate II the senate will
be suspended on Monday for the presenta-
ton of the conference report on the navy
appropriation bill. When the treaty is
disposed of it is to be followed by the
Washington Territory bill, which has been
for some time unfinished business on the
Legislative calendar. The bills to admit
North Dakota and Montana are next on the
republican programme. During the WEEK
Senator Wilson viii seek. an opportunity
to speak on the Jackson, Miss, election
riots and Senator Chandler viii make a
speech on the Louisiana elections. The
attendance of mem bers in the house has fall
len of TO a point where 4 quorum
can be obtained only with difficulty, and q
single objection Is usually sufficient to de-
feat legislation. For this reason little can
be done this week beyond dispesing Of the
appropriation bills. The effort to pass
general appropriation bill will be renewed
tomorrow or Tueseay. The conference re-
ports on the army and navy appropriation
bills are also ready for action and they Will
be followed by a conference report on the
sundry civil appropriation bill.

WASHINGTON, Aug 15.-After passing a

been a seizure OF single Amer

uttered a word in favor of Chinese imLni
grafton, and his votes had simply been
cOnfOrmabIe to the treaty. His record was
as satisfactory to the people Of the Pacific
coast as if he had abused the Chinese for
forty years.
Allison said he desired to put in his most
emphatic protest against the attemptmade
by Vest to draw a distinction between the
two great political parties on the subject
OF Chinese immigration He would say
for himself that after the debate in the
senate in 1879 his mind was clear Ghatit was
the duty of the government to exercise its
power in q most appropriate way to secure
the prohibition Of Chinese immigration. He
did not believe that Harrison entertained
any different sentiment.
Allison presented the conference report
on the army appropriation bill, which, with
out being read, was ordered TO be printed
in the record, to be acted upon tomorrow.
