The Shipping Bills 60 be Taken Up In
inc senate To-day-The Tariff Bill to
Follow After the Shipping Bills Are
Ouf OF the Way-The Report OF tho
Conference Committee on the silver
Bill Likely TO be Presented Before the
Close OF the Week.
WASHINGTON, July 8.-Senate Frye's ship
ping bills, upon which vote was not taken
last Thursday because of the lack of quo
rum, are the unfinished business ON the Sen,
ate calander for tomorrow, and he hopes to
have them disposed of without further de-
lay. He will then ask to have the river and
harbor bill taken up. This bill, with the
amendment which the committee on conn
MERGE has authorized Mr.. Frye to offer, car
ries total appropriation of about $23, 000,-
600. Two days, he thinks, will be sufficient
for it's consideration. Senate Morrill,, chair
man of the finance committee, will endeavor
to have the tariff bill made the order of bust
ness after the shipping bills are out of the
way. The indications are, however, that the
river and harbor bill will be
the hrst taken up. The tariff bill,
1t is understood, will be in charge of
Senator Aldrich. If the river and harbor
tariff debate will not be begun in earnest I'M
til next week, a, there are three appropris-
ton bills to come before the senate this
week, one of which-the sundry civil bill
Is likely to precipitate a debate of some
length. 1t will be reported Tuesday or
Wednesday. Among its provisions as 1t
passed the house Is an appropriation of
$720, 900 for the geographical and irrigation
surveys to be expended under the direction

antagonized by Senator Stewart and possibly
by other western senators who want the ir-
rigation survey to be conducted by the
agricultural department. The other
appropriation bills are the Indian and
consular and diplomatic. These exhaust the
list of regular bills except the deficiency bill,
which will not come before the senate until
near the close of the session. The report of
the conference committee on the silver bill,
which is'a privileged matter, is likely to be
presented before the close Of the week and II
will probably give rise to a debate of some
length The election bill will be received from
the house probably to morrow and be referred
to the committee on privileges and elections.
A caucus of republican senators is expected
some timo this week. The proceedings in the
house this week promise to be comparatively
uninteresting aud quiet. Probably the gen.
ersl deficiency appropriation bill, the
last of the appropriation bills, will be re-
ported and acted upon before the week lie
ended. The elections committee is DESTROYS
of securing consideration for the two con-
tested election cases (Miller versus Elliott OF
South Carolina, and Langston versus Vena-
BILE of Virginia), which have been for some
time on the calendars. In addition to those
cases the friends of the bankruptcy bill ex.
pect to be able to get that measure before
the house while there are indications thai
durino the week the conferees on the silver
bill will have adjusted their differences
| and presented to the house compromis,
measure which it will be called upon to con
slider.
