to Be Made in a Day or
Two.

Republicans Enough for a
Quorum Expected in the
House To-Day.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-The unfin-
1shed business before the senate when it
meets tomorrow will be the bill for the
relief of the supreme court, which was
under discussion several days last week.
The bill providing for the organization
of courG for the adjudication of pri-
yate land claims also occupies a place
on the calendar, where it may be called
up at any time. 1t is probable some ac-
tion will be taken upon both of these
bills this week, but it is difficult to say
just what it will be. If they should be
passed it would probably be necessary
to send them to the house for concur
renee in the amendments, SO it is not
likely that either of them will become a
law at this session of congress. The bills
next on the order of business fixed by the
Republicans are the two labor bills, and
they will be called up by Senator Blair
at the first opportunity. Senator Cock
Iel's opposition to the Sherman bill, to
increase national circulation, is suf-
ficient to take that measure out of the
list of probabilities for this session.
COnferrees on the tariff bill say to-day
fore Tuesday or Wednesday. AS the
report goes first to the house for con-
sideration, it will not reach the senate
until the latter part of the week. 1t
will then depend upon the desire of
senators to get away whether the dis
cussion shall be long or brief. Notice
has been given that
rChraa Tariff. S,,oacI,as
are to be made when the conference re-
port is made to the senate by Messrs.
Aldrich and Carlisle, of the finance
committee, and Mr.. Ingalls,, who was in
the chair while the bill was under con-
sideration in the senate. While waiting
for the tariff bill the general deficiency
bill may come before the senate on re-
port of conferrees-if not before then,
directly after it-and it is likely to be
the only measure of Importance to re-
ceive consideration after the tariff bill
is out of the way. In the nouse the
Langston-Venable election case has
reached stage which requires further
action before any other business can be
touched. The previous question is oper-
ating, and, although in the ordinary
course the District of Columbia commit
tee would be entitled to the floor to-
morrow, the yea and nay vote
upon the election case must be taken
before the usual order can prevail.
So it will be necessary for the Republi-
cans to secure quorum as a prelimi-
nary to the disposition of any business,
and, as matter of fact, they confidently
expect to have 165 member present
Monday or Tuesday at the latest, which,
with the assistance rendered by the
presence of at least one Democrat, will,
they believe, enable the house to dis
pose of the election case. Should these
expectations be realized when the house
assemblies tomorrow. the election case
may be disposed of in season to allow a
part of the day to the district committee.
What will follow depends upon the
progress of the conferrees on the tariff
bill. If their work is completed by
Tuesday morning, the report will be
taken up Immediately and disposed of
in two days at most. If not the senate
amendments to the general deficiency
bill will be considered; and, when these
measures are disposed of, the house will
have completed its work so far as this
session is concerned, and will be ready
to adjourn.
