CONGRESSIONAL FORECAST.

The Senate Will Hold Long Sessions and
Dispose of Much Business-The House.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-Under the
order adopted Saturday the senate will
hereafter meet at II o'clock in the morn
ing and continue in session with the ex-
ception of two hours intermission until
late each night. The long sittings will
give an opportunity for disposing of a
large amount of business.
Mr.. Blair will, early in the week,
move to reconsider the vote by which
the eight hour government employees
bill was recommitted to the labor COM
mittee. According to the programme
adopted by the Republican caucus Fri
day, the copyright bill is next in the or
der of consideration and it will be dis
posed of early in the week. The naval
appropriation bill and the District of
Columbia appropriation bills will be
passed, and the diplomatic and consular
appropriation bill will be reported from
committee and placed on the calendar
ready for action on it. 1t is probable
that the Indian depredations claims bill
and the Nicaragua canal bill will be
acted on in the order named, and Sena-
tor Paddock believes that he can secure
action ON the pure food bill before the
end of the week.
The time of the house during the COM
ing week will be devoted chiefly to the
consideration of the legislative, Indian
and postoffice appropriation bills.

GALVESTON, Tex, rsh. 9.-The 10
port of the committee on resolutions Of
the interstate congress provides that the
congress shall be styled the Trans Mis-
souri, Commercial Congress-, and states
that the sole purpose of the convention
and that to be called by it, shall be the
consideration of economic questions
only. 1t urges upon congress to provide
adequate appropriations for the speedy
completion of the work on the deep wa
ter harbor at Galveston; favors free and
unlimited coinage of American silver;
favors the reclamation of the arid
region of the West by national gov
eminent through systems of storage
reservoirs; favors the immediate
opening of Indian reservations in
Oklahoma and elsewhere. The action
of the government as to reciprocity with
Brazil meets the enthusiastic approval
of the convention, and it is hoped the
movement will be extended until it en-
braces the whole South and Central
America and Mexico.
After providing for representation
from counties, cities and commercial
bodies, the convention adjourned to
meet in Denver, Col, on May -, 1891.

A NEWSPAPER FAKE.

Secretary Blaine Denies That an Extra
Session of the Senate is Contemplated.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-Relative to
the statement appearing in New York
paper that the president would issue a
call for an extra session about the Goth,
it can be said positively that the state
ment was without foundation. No one
at the White House knows anything
about the matter, nor do any members
of the cabinet. Secretary Blaine was
comforting with the senate committee
on foreign affairs about making some
amendments to the diplomatic bill
touching the Central American mission
and other consular matters, which gave
rise that he was urging the necessity of
an extra session relative to confirming
certain reciprocity treaties. In reply to
question he said an extra session was
not even limited, and he knew of no ne
cessity for one so far as the state de-
partment is concerned.

German War Preparations,

LONDON, Feb. 9.-Berlin dispatches
state that the German authorities are
pushing forward military preparations
with rapidity and earnestness unex-
ampled in years. Two hundred artisans
have been added to the number employed
in the powder works at Spandau, and
the works are run day and night in the
production of smokeless powder. AS
the French army is abundantly supplied
with the smokeless powder the Germans
would be at disadvantage in the event
of war, and for this reason the military
authorities of the empire are hurrying
forward the manufacture.

MILWAUKEE, Feb. 10-The organiza-
ton of an American Catholic clerical
union composed of the English speaking
priests of the Milwaukee province, is
interpreted as the first step in what may
be bitter contest against German su-
premacy. For years the archbishop and
three bishops of the province have been
Germans and the German priests out
humber the English speaking priests
three to one, although numerically the
English speaking laity is fully as strong
as the German. The recent appoint
ment of Bishop Katzer as archbishop
was great disappointment to the En-
eer organ iIS With a view to securing ne
proper recognition, and they will appeal
direct to Rome for the appointment of
an American to succeed Bishop Katzer.
