WASHINGTON, June 15.-The general
debate on the silver question is to close
by the present order of the senate at 3
o'clock Monday afternoon, and it is the
prevalent expectation that vote will
be reached before adjournment on one
or more of the amendments to the bill,
ii not dpOn the measure itself. In the
past week efforts were made to secure
pledges OF majority of the senators to
support one or another proposition on
this subject, but it is understood that
they were failures, and that nothing
but roll call of the senate will def
nitely determine just what character of
silver bill will pass that body. When
this matter is out of the way a struggle
for precedence is probable. Senator
Allison says he will ask to have the
legislative, executive and judicial
appropriation bill considered; Senator
Platt wants the bill to admit Wyoming
to the Union taken up, and Senator
Frye will press his shipping bills. and
ask the attention of the senate. If the
Wyoming bill should be taken up, it is
understood that the Democrats will offer
substitute, to admit Wyoming, Idaho,
New Mexico and Arizona to the Union
in body. Republicans, so it is an
nounced, will not spend much time in
argument on the bill: they will rest the
case upon the report of the committee
in favor of the passage of the bill. The
river and harbor appropriation bill will
be reported early in the week from the
committee on commerce, but it will not
be called up for action by Chairman
Frye before next week. By the mid
die of the week, the Republi-
can members in the finance committee
expect to have the tariff bill ready to re-
port. A feeling prevails that debate on
the measure will be had until the meas

are disposed of. Senator Morrill's bill
to further aid agricultural colleges is on
the calendar for Thursday, on which
day also the eulogies OH the deceased
members of the New York delegation
are to be delivered. Saturday is to be
devoted to bills on the calendar to
which no objection is made. The re-

upon last week, in order to have the
way clear for action upon other matters
of public Importance. This programme
will probably involve the practical loss
of suspension Monday, as the sundry
civil appropriation bill comes over as
unfinished business. 1t is to be fol-
lowed by the Indian appropriation bill,
and by the national bankruptcy bill,
which will be called upby the judiciary
committee under one of the special
rules for facilitating speedy action. The
elections committee wishes to call up
the Mississippi contested election case
of Chalmers VS.. Morgan. This is one of
the cases where the committee has re-
ported in favor of the sitting Demo-
cratic member, and it may act as a
softening prelude to the angry and ex-
cited strains of the debate on the ma
tional election bill, which is expected to
follow and close the week.
