As the days of this Congress diminish in
number, ieverish haste begins to mani.
fest itself among members OF the House TO
secure action upon pressing matters OF
legislation. Every facility is given for the
passage of appropriation bills, and meas
ures OF general importance are brought
forward to the exclusion OF minor affairs,
which would originally have the right OF
way. So far rs the program for the
coming week is at present made up,
II includes possible action upon such in
teresting matters as the report of the
conierrees on the Territorial bill, which is
believed TO affect the probabilities of an
extra session; the Edmunds Panama reso-
luton which will involve discussion OF
the Monroe doctrine, and the report OF
Mr.. Fords Committee on Immigration,
which will afford an opportunity for a
presentation OF the evils OF the contract
labor system. The postonice appropria-
tion bill, now pending, will be disposed of
early in the week, leaving only the Indian
and deficiency appropriation bills to be
acted upon originally by the House
'ith tuS tAVOpuon VI tilc ulllluuy hcdu-
emy bill, not one OF the regular appro-
priation bills has yet been sent TO the
President for his signature. Notwith-
standing this fact, their condition is gen
orally favorable us compared with the
progress made at this date in the short
session, and the work is particularly well
advanced in the House.
The following named bills have passed
both Houses. and are either in conference
or approaching that state: The District
OF Columbia; consular and diplomatic;
pension, iortiiication and legislative bills.
The sundry civil, army, naval and agri.
cultural bills have passed the House; the
postoilice and river and harbor bills await
the action OF that body, and the Indian
and deficiency bills will probably be re-
ported for action this week.
