Many Important Measures 10 be DesH wa
Before Close Of the Sssstsn.
Washington special: The senate by
its action last week did not dispose o.
the Samoan question. It will come ur
in q new form during the coming week
aud it is likely more decided action will
be taken.
Senator Frye said yesterday that what
he expected the senate committee on
foreign relations to do. was to report a
resolution giving the president author.
ity to demand that the status at the
time of the conference OF 1887 be re.
stored. The committee is now acting
under q resolution of instruction from
the senate, but no special meeting has
been called, and the resolution, If re-
ported, may not come before the senate
before Wednesday or Thursday.
Meantime the Pacific railroad funding
bill is expected to ONE up Monday al
2 o'clock, and the Sherman antitrust
bill early in the week. The Legislative,
executive. aud judicial appropriation
bills will be reported to the senate to-
morrow, and the committee expects to
call it mp tuesday. 1t will consume at
least one of the afternoons of the We elk.
Senator Hale said yesterday that he
expected to call up the census bill the
latter part of the week and that it would
probably occupy the senate's attention
for two days or more.
Senator Chandler expects to ask the
senate to. take up his Louisiana elections
resolutions about Thursday.
The report of the committee on privi-
leges and elections on the Washington
county, Texas, outrages will be pre-
sented to the senate early in the week,
but is not likely to be called up for
action.
THE HOUSE MEANS BUSINESS.
The house evidently means to settle
down to business during this week. Be-
sides the usual day sessions four night
sessions have been ordered-Monday,
and Wednesday night for the considera-
ton of the appropriation bills, Tuesday
night for the consideration of business
from the District of Columbia commit
tee, and Friday night for the considera-
tioh of pension bills.
AS Monday is the last individual sus-
pension day of the present congress-,
great pressure is being brought to bear
On Speaker Carlisle for recognition.
Mr.. Blanchard has filed with the
speaker a petition, signed by 1873 mem
bers of congress-, asking him to recog-
nize Mr.. Blanchard to move a suspen-
sion of the rules to pass the river and
harbor kill
Representative Timothy Campbell is
anxious to secure the passage of the bill
to pension Mrs. General Sheridan. and
Mr.. Dunn, ii recognized by the speaker,
will move the passage of the interna-
tional copyright bill. There is some
talk among the advocates of these sew
eral bills of forming a combination to
continue the legislative day of Monday
until Tuesday. SO as to afford time for
all to secure recognition.
MI. Townshend will, at the first OPP
opportunity, call up the army appro-
priation bill, and Mr.. Crisp has two con-
tested election cases on hand which he
has been endeavoring to have consid-
cred for the past three weeks.
The Nicaraguan conference report is
on the table and Mr.. Clardy will call it
up as soon as possible. The report is
likely to give rise to an extended de-
bate.
AS the session draws to q close the
bills that are being pushed forward are
SO numerous that any of them may at
any time engage the attention of the
house to the exclusion of measures as
signed a given time for consideration.
