WASHINGTON. July 30.-Appropriation
bills will be the principal feature oil IN the
proceedings in Congress this week Inc
Senate will first conclude consideration OF
the sundry civil appropriation bill and VIII
then turn its attention to the nsheries
treaty 1t is believed that the latter may
be completed, when there will be more
work ON appropriation bills The Chinese
immigration bill will demand consideration
and Senator Plumb has given notice that
he will call up for consideration at the
earliest moment the bill to encourage the
exposition of the products of the colored
race in the United States TO be held in 1855
80 The House of Representatives will con-
fine its attention TO the general deficiency
appropriation bill until it is completed.
which may not be earlier than
Thursday or Friday. Following the def
cheney will come the fertilization appro-
priation bill and then the Senate amend
ments to the army, navy and sundry civil
appropriation bills. If opportunity is Of
fered further consideration will be given
the Oklahoma bill and the bill providing
buildings for the postoffices whose gross an
nual receipts amount to three thousand
dollars year Both of these measures are
unfinished business, and can come up
when there is no privileged matter of the
character of appropriations, demanding the
right OF way.
Although the tariff bill will not come up
in tine Senate for discussion before the lat
ter part of next week. If indeed, it makes
its appearance sooner than week after next,
the impression prevails that Congress can
adjourn by the 10th or 18th of September.
Twenty-nine Senators have delivered
speeches in this session during the consid-
Grafton of the Presidents message, and it
is not likely that more than that numbers
will ask TO speak on the tariff bill. IL the
measure comes up by Monday, August 13,
Senators say the three weeks ending Sep
tember lst, will be sufficient for the debate.
Adding 20 this date ten days for the House
and Conference Committees to act. and it
will be seen that the suggestion of adjourn
ment by the middle of September is feas.
ible Even that will be an extraordinary
late day for adjournment Congress usual
ly adjourns between July 25th and August
10th One of the longest sessions on record
occurred Just before the war. when Con-
gress did not adjourn till September 80.
No session since has lasted within fort.
night of this time The House during the
week will have passed all the appropriation
bills the only two of which have not been
through that body already being the gen.
eral deficiency and Notifications. But
there are Senate amendments to the army.
navy and sundry civil bills for the House
