The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1890-06-23
THIS WEEK In CONGRESS.
THE ACTION OF THE COINAGE COM.
MITTEH STILL IN DOUBT.


To-day's Business in the House De-
pendent on That Committees Course.
The National Election Bill to Lead
to One of the Most Exciting Politi-
cal Debates in Years.
WASHINGTON, June 22.-To-morrow will
be district day in the House, but whether or
not the day will be given up TO matters of
local interest depends on the coinage COM
mittee. II it should be ready to report
upon the Senate amendments to the silver
bill there are indications that the committee
on rules will be ready in turn to
see that the report secures speedy con-
sideration in the House. 1t is also probable
that by Tuesday morning the same COM
mittee will report a rule making the ma
tional election bill the epecial order for the
remainder of the week. If this order is
adopted it win probably lead to one of the
most exciting and bitter partisan debates
witnessed in recent years.
ADMISSION OF WYOMING.
Apolitical debate may also occur in the
mission of Wyoming into the
union, which is the first order of
business When it comes up the
democrats will offer a substitute in the
shape of an omnibus bill, providing for
enabling acts for Wyoming, Idaho, Ari-
zona and New Mexico. The territorial bill
will have to give way however, for the
consideration of appropriation bills; the
committee on appropriations being deter
mined to pass these measures as rapidly as
possible. The diplomatic and consular and
DOCtoffi0a hills w fhn SauQfa 0alan-
dar, and the committee expects to be able
to report the agricultural, Indian and sun
dry civil bills before the end of the week.
Two Of the bills, and probably three, will
be disposed of by the Senate in the next
six days.
FRYE'S SHIPPING BILL.
If opportunity offers Senator Frye will
make an effort to have his shipping bill con-
sidered, and if that fails then he will press
the river and harbor bill in order to have it
out of the way before the tariff bill shall be
taken up.
Senator Davis will probably have the
conference report on the dependent pension
bill considered early in the week.
Part Of Thursday afternoon is to be de-
voted to the delivery of eulogies upon the
late Representative Cox, and. unless some
thing now unforeseen intervenes, Saturday,
in the ordinary course of events, will be
devoted TO consideration of bills on the cal
endar to which objection is not made.
STATUS OF THE APPROPRIATION BILLS.
All except fourteen of the regular ap-
preparation bills have been acted upon in
one or both houses of congress. But two
of the thirteen, however-the army and
military academy bills-have passed both
houses and been approved by the President,
and are now laws. The condition of the
remaining eleven is as follows:
The naval, District of Columbia and
pension appropriation bills have passed
both houses, and are now in conference.
The legislative, executive and judicial
and Notifications bills have passed both
houses and are ready for conference,
although the conference committees have
not yet been appointed.
The postoffice, consular and diplomatic
and river and harbor bills have passed the
House, been reported to the Senate with
amendments by the Senate committees
having them in charge, and are awaiting
action by that body.
The agricultural, sundry civil and Indian
bills have passed the House and are being
considering by the Senate appropriations
committee.
The general deficiency appropriation bill
is the only one that has not yet been con-

House bills, have been sent to the President
since the opening of congress for his action.
