THE ANTI-LOTTERY BILL.
Early Consideration of 1t Sched-
uIed in;the Senate.


uled 1.-THE Senate.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-It is expect
ed that Senator Sanders will conclude
his speech upon the conference report
OF the land grant forfeiture bill to-inor-
row, and that the report Will then be
agreed to. If it is then not too late in
the day Senator Sawyer will call up the
aDti-lottery bill, which has already
ask the senate to dispose of private pen
sion bills on the calendar. postponing
the anti-lottery bill until Tuesday.
SO far as known, there will
be no open opposition to the
passage of this bill. Senator
Gibson, of Louisiana. will speak in its
favor, and,if any opposition develops on
the floor, Senators Spooner and Casey,
the latter of North Dakota, will support
the measure. But it is Senator Saw
yer's hope that Gen. Gibson's speech
will be the only one delivered. Follow
ing the anti-lottery bill on the order of
business adopted by the Republican
caucus,are the bills to repeal the timber
courts and for the relief of the supreme
court and the labor bills. Ii is hardly
probable that all these will be disposed
OF this week, but, should itprove to be
the case. the rapid progress will be
checked when the bill to transfer the
revenue marine service from the treas
ury to the navy department, the
next on the programme, is
reached. This bill has been discussed
number of times during the session, but
the opposition has always prevented
vote. So far as known, the opponents
OF the measure are still equally as de-
termined that it shall not pass, and, as
they include some of the best tactlcians
bate may be anticipated. An hour
every day under ar order adopted by
the senate last week will be devoted to
the consideration of bills on the calen-
dar to which no objection is made. The
opposition shown by the minority in the
house to the consideration of the LangS-
tOn-Venable election case has had the
effect more strongly to detelm mine
the Republican leaders that the
house shall act upon the case, as
we'll as upon the Miller-Elliot
case. 1t has been urged upon
absent Republican members that the
party could hardly afford to abandon
the colored Republican contestants after
seating a number of white Republican
members. A large number of telegrams

quorum is obtained by Monday or Tues
day, it is tine intention to dispose of the
two election cases without argument be-
yond the forty minutes talk allowed by
the rules in each case after the previous
question is ordered. After that will
follow the tariff bill. Already Chair
man Mckinley has prepared the way
for speedy action upon the bill. by his
resolution. indorsed by last nights eau
Gus. providing for the suspension of the
ordinary rules and consideration of the
bill by the house itself, instead of in
committee of the whole The time to
be allowed by its consideration was left
blank in the resolution to be filled in by
the committee on rules. 1t is the gen
eral impression that not more than two
or three days at most will be SO con-
sumed, and that, if quorum is in at
tendance, the tariff bill will go to con-
ference before the end of the present
week
