WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O.-The predic-
ton may be made that Springer's Omni-
bus bill will pass the senate as soon as
the tariff and Union Pacific funding
bills are out of the way. Two weeks
will not elapse before the bill will be
sent to the president. He will approve
it. too. The coming week will see the
conclusion of the tariff discussion in the
senate, and, probably, the passage Of
the bill. There seems no question now
in the mind of any one of the adoption
of the senate substitute with such mod
ifications as may be offered tomorrow.
One of these will probably be the reduc-
tion of the duty on lumber from 50 to
sl.5O. There may be also slight change
in the wool schedule. The senate will
hold night session tomorrow to con-
slider these matters and to conclude the
discussion. 1t may be. however, that it
will be necessary for the senate to meet
at a very early hour Tuesday morning
if the original plan is to be carried out
and the vote OH the bill to be taken at
o'clock Tuesday afternoon. 1t is the in
tention of the senators having the bill
in charge to carry out this plan
TO THE LETTER.
Senator Allison said, before the ad-
iournmpnt Saturday. that the final vote
on the bill would be taken Tuesday.
eve will begin to vote on the amend
ments at O'Clock Tuesday," said Sena-
tor Allison, land probably complete our
work at late hour Tuesday night"
With the tariff bill out of the way. the
senate will proceed to consider appro-
priation bills. The first of these to be
taken up will he the District of Columbia
bill. which is still in the hands of sub
full committee early IN the week. re-
ported to the senate and probably
passed on Wednesday or Thursday.
Senator Plumb will probably make an
effort before the end of the week to call
up the Des MOines river lands bill, and
Senator Frye will ask to have day set
for the consideration of the Pacific rail-
road funding bill. Mr.. PIatt's commit
tee on territories will likely report he
fore the end of the week on the house
amendments to The bill for the admis'
sion of South Dakota, and the bill will
go into conference. 1t may be dis
cussed at some length. before it is
acted upon. In the house Monday is
committee
SUSPENSION DAY.
After the reading of the journal
motion will be made to take up the
Oklahoma bill under suspension of the
rules. II is understood that the filibus-
tering tactics which have heretofore
prevented the consideration of this
measure will be dropped. in accordance
with the agreement of Mr.. Weaver. Mr..
Anderson, of Kansas, who led the fight
against the report of the committee on
rules, is not so much opposed to the
Oklahoma bill as to the Pacific railroad
funding bill. and it is understood the
funding bill will not be called up Mon
day. Even if an effort should be made
to bring it up, this will doubtless take
place after the Oklahoma bill has been
disposed of. AS it will require two
thirds vote to pass the measure. it will
doubtless fail. Other matters will then
be taken up-probably a bill for the
erection of postoffice in the District of
Columbia, and the bill granting a
pension to Mrs. Sheridan. Mr..
Crisp hopes to call up the elec-
tion cases-Small VS.. Elliott and
Sullivan VS.. Felton-Tuesday: If he
succeeds, the house will be kept busy
for two days by these cases. Mr.. Blan-
chard will antagonize Mr.. Crisp with
the river and harbor bill, which is now
unfinished business. Mr.. Randall is
awaiting an opportunity to cali up the
sundry civil service appropriation bill.
and if the house gets into wrangle
over the river and harbor bill and the
election cases, the sundry civil may be
slipped in to prevent trouble; other
wise it will come up later in the week.
1t is possible the conference report on
the Nicaragua canal bill will be pre-
sented to the house Tuesday. If it is,
it will occupy the attention of the house
during the session of that day, and
postpone for one day the programme
here mentioned.
THEY ARE JOYFUL.

CHAMBERLAIN, OAK, Jan. 2O.-The
news of the passage of the Springer
omnibus bill through the house is hailed
with great joy by the people of this sec
ton, who seem pretty confident of ad-
mission and division at the hands of the
present congress. Although some of
our people favored some other of the
several measures before congress, any
thing that gives assurance of early ad-
mission is joyfully received.
