the conference report or the Interstate
commerce bill. the census bill, the Pa
cific railroad funding bill, the resolution
relating to the election outrages III
Washington county, Tex, and Senator
Chambers resolution in regard to Lou
isiana outrages. The naval appropria-
ton bill is the only bill from the appro-
priation committee now on the calendar
of the senate. The sundry civil bill is
nov under con liberation in the commit
tee, but it will hardly be reported before
the end of the week, and it will not be
taken up for consideration until the
week following. Senator Hall intends
to cali up the naval bill to-day, but as
Senator Evarts desires to make a
speech on his reports on the
Texas outrage matter, Hale will
give way for a time. 1t is
the intention of Senator Cullom to call
up the. conference reports on the pro-
posed amendment to the inter state COM
merce act on Tuesday. 1t will be debated
at some length, as Senator Sherman is
anxious that the senate should recede
from it's disagreement to the house
shall be transported as cheaply as oil in
tank cars. The discussion of the appro-
priation bill and the conference report
may postpone the further consideration
of the Pacific railroads funding measure
until the end of the week. Senator
Hale will call up his census bill about
the middle of the week. Meantime a
caucus of Republican senators will be
held and some determination reached as
to the time for the consideration of the
Chandler resolution for the investiga-
ton of election outrages in Louisiana.
On Wednesday both houses will meet
in the hall of the house to count
the electoral vote. No legislative bust
ness will be transacted on that day.
In the house during the coming week
there are many reports and bills that
will be brought forward for considera-
ton. Mr.. Crisp will endeavor to call
up the Smalls- Elliott case. This will prob-
ably occupy two days. Early in the
week, Mr.. McCreary will call up the
conference report On the consular and
diplomatic bill. Before the election case
IS considered Mr.. Springer will en-
deavor to call up the conference report
on the territorial bill. Mr.. Pen has the
Indian appropriation bill ready
to report and desires to call it up on
Thursday. Later in the week, the last
of the regular appropriation bills, the
deficiency bill, will be reported and Mr..
Randall will ask its consideration. The
postotfice appropriation bill comes over
- a =, .,l,aI To- I,,. ~ - NJ. d..
will take the G.st ppsfttifaiity 10 have
the house consider it. Mr.. Ford is also
looking for an opportunity to have his
immigration bill considered and Mr..
Oates his bill in regard to naturalization.
Several night sessions have already been
ordered and it is probable that the house
during the coming week will be work
ing night and day to dispose of urgent
legislation. The appropriation bills,
however, are more advancedthan usual,
which gives more time for other matters.
