The discussion Of the silver question will
be resumed tomorrow in the senate, that
which was passed by the house Saturday
being substituted for the pending measure
ON the senate calendar. This will facilitate
the disposition of the matter. It is believed
a vote on the matter will be reached before
the end of the week. It is believed the bill
as It shall pass the senate will provide for the
purchase Of four and half million ounces
Of silver monthly, the certificates to be issued
in payment thereof to be legal tender for all
debts and to be redeemable in lawful money.
The legislative appropriation bill will be re-
ported to the senate early In the week, and
Senator Allison, chairman of the committee,
says he expects to have it passed before the
week ends. Eulogies over the late Repre-
sentative WILDER Of New York will be deliv-
cred Thursday, and Saturday will be devoted
to unobjected bills on the calendar.
Several appropriation bills are on the house
calendar, and 1t is the intention to dispose
of these with expedition in order to avoid
embarrassment to the public service by de-
| Iayed appropriations at the beginning of the
| next fiscal year. Tomorrow the district
committee will have the floor to bring up mat
ters of local interest. There are a number Of
senate bills, mostly of private nature, nov
on the speakers table, and it is probable thai
day will be allotted for their disposition
The public buildings committee is also max
ing strenuous efforts to secure another special
order to rescue the batch of bills hung up or
Mr.. Turpin's last and effectual point Of 'ne
quorum" There is special urgency In thu
case, as the sundry civil appropriation bill
(which contains the appropriations for publ,
buildings) is to be reported next week, ani
1t is necessary that these delayed bills b
passed If they are to be followed by appro
priations. The commerce committee hal
also applied for an evening session during
the week.
