 of Urgent Legislation.
 make an effort during the week to dispose Of the naval appropriation bill, the conference report on the interstate commerce bill the census bill, the Pacific railroad funding bill, the resolution relating to the election out rages in Washington county, Texas, and per haps Senator Chandlers resolution to investi- gate the Louisiana election ouhasos. The naval appropriation bill is the only bill from the appropriations committee now on the cal endar of the senate.
 The sundry civil bill is now under considera- tion in the committee, but it will hardly be reported before the end of the week, and it will not be taken up for consideration until next week. Senator Hale intends to call up the naval bill to-day, but Senator Evarts desires to make a speech on his report in the Texas outrages matter Senator Hale will give way for a time for that purpose
 It is the intention of Senator Culio,n to call up the conference report on the lro,, sed amendment to the interstate commerce act to- day or tomorrow It will be debated at some length, as Senator Sherman is anxious that the senate should recede from its disagreement to the house amendment providing thlt oil ill barrels shall be transported as cheapiy oil in tank cars. This discussion of the appropri- ation bill and the conference report may post pone the further consideration of the Pacific railroad funding measure until the end of the week. Senator Hale will cali up his census hi1 nI, nf Meantime d caucus of Republican senators will be held and some determination reached as to the time for the consideration of the Chandler resolution for the investigation of election outrages in Louisiana.
 On Wednesday both houses will meet ill the hall of the house of representatives to count the electoral vote. No legislative business will be transacted on that day.
 In the house during the week there are many reports and bills that will be brought forward for consideration. Mir Crisp will endeavor to call up the mall-Elliott election case Early in the week Mir McCreery will call up the conference report on the consular and diplomatic bill Before the election case is considered Mir. Springer will en,!eavor to call up the conference report on the terri torial bill. This will likely cause debate. Mir. Peel has the Indian appropriation bill ready to report, and desires if possible to call it up on Thursday. It is barely possible that Mr. Cowles' bill to repeal the tobacco tax may be reported from the appropriation committee, in which event its consideration will be demanded by Mir. Cowles at once. Later in the week the last of the regular ap- propriation bills-the deficiency bill-will be reported, and Mir. Randall will ask its con- sideration. The postotiice appropriation bill comes over as unfinished business and Mir Blount will take the first opportunity to have the house consider it. Mir Ford is also looking for an opportunity to have his immigration bill considered, and Mir Oates his bill in re- gard to naturalization. Several night sessions have already been ordered, and it is probab ble that the house during the week will be work ing night and day to dispose of urgent legis- lation
