WASHINGTON, April 16-The bills for the
admission of the State of Dakota into the
Union and establishing Bureau of Indus
| try will occupy the time Of the Senate dur.
| ing the week. The Republican Senatorial
Caucus Committee will have another meet
ing on Tuesdayor Wednesday and consider
the order of business, bntit is unlikely that
| anything will be agreed upon for the cur
rent week.
In the House there will be medley of
affairs during the next six days To-day is
committee suspension of rules day. The
The first of the call rests with the committee
on commerce, which committee intends to
take up the bill 10 extend the time for COM
pleting bridge across Staten Island sound.
The next committee under the call is Rivers
and Harbors and Chairman Blanchard in
tends TO move a suspension of rules for the
passage of the River and IIarbor bill
1t is probable that there will be
some objection TO this and a lively
skirmish may ensue and occupy the
entire day. A telegram has been sent to
Chairman Belmont of the Committee on
Foreign Affairs, requesting his presence in
'the House to-day for the consideration of
the Consular and Diplomatic appropriation
bill, in the event that measure can be taken
up. The Indian appropriation bill is un-
finished business, and that will be taken up
again at the first available moment.
Tuesday. according 10 notice given at the
time when the Mills tariff bill was re-
ported from ths Committee ON Ways and
Means, is the day fixed upon for taking up
that measure for general discussion. There
is report in circulation TO the effect t'iat
Chairmen of the committees having APP
preparation bills on the calendar, and a
number of Republicans, will attempt to
force consideration appropriation bills on
Tuesday to the exclusion of the tariff bill,
for the double purpose of clearing appro-
priatiOn bills before the tariff debate is be-
gun, and postponing action on the tariff to
the latest day possible; but a most diligent
inquiry by limited press reporters, has
failed TO locate any such intention.
The Committee on Ways and Means, and
leading members on both sides of the House
say that there is no doubt of the Tariff bill
being taken up on Tuesday
The Committee OH Agriculture has con-
tinuing order which gives ii two days for
the consideration of revenue and general
bills. Chairman Hatch will
likely urge recognition OF his order. This
may disjoint the present order of business.
1t is not known, and VIII not be till Tues
day, just how much time each week the
Committee on Ways aud Means will de-
mand shall be given to discussion of the
Tariff bill, but the general impression Is
that five days and night sessions will be de-
voted TO the measure.
"Wednesday was sometime ago set apart
as special order for measures from the
committee ON labor, aud Chairman O'Neil
has called an extra ordinary session of his
committee for 10 day when he intends to
arrange for demand of the House to OBJ
serve his special order and permit the con-
sideration OF various bills he will ask to be
taken up.
The bills the committee on labor es-
pecially prefers 10 have action upon are
those providing for the arbitration of labor |
disputes; prohibiting the sending of con-
vict-made goods out OF the State in which |
they have been manufactured, and amend |
ng.the act prohibiting The importation and |
Of foreigners and aliens under |
or agreement. The committee on |
sbor is very strong in the House and will |
make formidable demand. |
The appropriation bills are very generally |
more SO than usual.
