Pension Bills to be Considered by Con-
gress This We X.
WASHINGTON, April 2s.-The Senate
during the coming week will dispose Of
the Land Grant Forfeiture bill, the PEN
sion Appropriation bill, and possibly the
Customs Administration bill, known as
the Mckinley bill. The Land Grant
Forfeiture bill remains the unfinished
business on the calendar, and tho inten-
tion is to take II up Immediately at the
conclusion OF the morning business to-
day and proceed with its discussion un-
til it is disposed OF. The Appropriations
Committee will attempt TO sandwich the
Pension bill In between this measure
and the Mckinley bill. .lH.
1t is the intention OF the Republican
leaders Of the House to force the silver
question to conclusion, 80 far as the
House is concerned, during the week.
The compromise silver bill will be the
measure brought forward and two days
will be given 70 its discussion, voting on
It's passage TO take place Immediately
at the conclusion OF the debate.
The Morrill, Service Pension bill will
be considered, probably on Tuesday,
and pushed 10 conclusion on that day.
The bill was sanctioned BY the Repub-
lican caucus last Wednesday and the
Republicans have pledged themselves
TO its support One day in the week,
probably Friday, will be set apart for
the passage OF public building bills.
Monday will be devoted to matters CON-
cerning the District OF Columbia. Mr..
Mckinley has stated that the tariff de-
bate will not begin during the week,
but he may bring forward the Dingley
bill to increase the duty on worsted
cloths.
