COMING WEEK IN CONGHESs.
Many Members of the House I'm Bos-
ton-LittIe Business VIII Probably
be Done-Tariff I'm the Senate.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 10.-owing
to the fact that many members have gone
to Boston to attend the Grand Army en-
campment it is probable that little Or no
business will be transacted in the house
before the latter part of the week. 1t was
the intention of the leaders to assign the
week to the agricultural committee, which
seeks action on the compound lard and
meat inspection bills, and to the commit.
tee on education, which is ready to call up.
the bill to extend aid to agricultural coli
leges. But it is feared that no quorum
will be present or, if there is, it will in
clude majority of democrats who might
by their action derange the plans of the
committees. The proceedings, therefore,
will probably be confined to action upon
the conference reports upon the fortifica-
tons and sundry civil appropriation bills,
possibly interspersed with recesses for a
day or more.
In the senate the tariff bill will be dis.
cussed until Friday when it is expected
that the river and harbor bill will be taken
up. But this is not altogether certain as
several senators are opposed to the tariff
bill being displaced by any bill. The dis
cussion of the tariff bill will probably be
interrupted by the presentation of the
conference reports on the sundry civil
appropriation bill and the land grant for
fixture bill.
