In the House.

The proceedings in the House this week
promise to be comparatively uninteresting
and quiet. Probably the general deficiency
appropriation bill, the least of tie appro-
priation bills, will be reported and
acted upon before the end of the week.
The elections committee is DESTROYS of re-
ceiving hearing for the contested election
cases of Miller VS.. Elliott of South
Carolina and Langston VS.. Venable of Vir-
glnia, which have been for some time on the
calendar. In addition to these cases, the
friends Of the bankruptcy bill expect to be
able to get that measure before the House,
while there are indications that during the
week the conferees on the silver bill will
have adjusted their differences and pre-
sented to the House a compromise measure,
which it will be called upon to consider.
