The Weeks Programme.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-The unfln-
lshed business before the senate when it
meets tomorrow will be the bill for
relief of the supreme court, which was
under discussion several days last week
The bill providing for the organization of
a court for the adjudication
of private land claims also occupies
place on the calendar, where it may be
called up at any time. 1t is probable
that some action will be taken on both
these bills this week, but it is difficult TO
say just what it will be. If they should
be passed 1t would probably be
necessary to send them to the house for
concurrence in the amendments, SO it is
not likely that either will become q law
at this session of congress.
THE TWO LABOR BILLS.
The bills next on order OF business
billed by the Republicans are the two
labor bills, and they will be called up by
Senator Blair at the first opportunity.
Senator Cockrell's opposition to the
Sherman bill to increase national cIrcu-
lation is sufficient to take that measure
out of the list of probabilities for this
session.
day that an agreement is not probable
before Tuesday or Wednesday. AS the
report goes first to the house for consd-
GRAFTON, it will not reach the senate until
the latter part of the week. It will then
depend on the desire of the senators to
get away whether the discussion shall be
long or brief.
Notice has been given that three tariff
speeches are to be made when the con-
ference report is made to the senate, by
Messrs. Aldrich and Carlisle of the
finance committee and Mr.. Ingalls,, who
was in the chair when the bill was under
consideration in the senate.
While waiting for the tariff bill the
general deficiency bill may come before
the senate report of conferees, il not be-
fore then directly after it, and 1t is
likely to be the only measure of impor-
lance to receive consideration.
THE LANGsTON-vENABLE ELECTION CASE.
After the tariff bill is out of the way
in the house the INTERCHANGEABLE cleo
ton case has reached q stage which re-
Quires further action before any other
business can be touched. The pre-
vious question ls operating, al
though in the ordinary course
the District of Columbia committee would
be entitled to the floor tomorrow. The
yea and nay vote upon the election case
must be taken before the usual order can
prevail, SO it will be necessary
for the Republicans to secure
9 quorum as preliminary
of any business and as a mat
ter of fact they confidently expect to
have l56 mem bers present Monday or
Tuesday at the latest, which. with the
assistance rendered by the presence of at
least one Democrat will, they believe,
enable the house to dispose Of the election
case. Should these expectations
be realized wheu the house assemblies to-
the election case may be dis
posed of in season to allow part of the
day to the District of Columbia commit
tee. What Will follow depends
upon the progress of the con-
ferees of the bill. If their work
is complete by Tuesday morning. the
report will be taken up Immediately and
disposed of in two days almost; if not,
the senate amendment to the general
deficiency bill will be considered, and
" hen these measures are disposed of the
house will have completed the WORK so
far as this session is concerned, and will
be ready to adjourn.
