WASHINGTON, May 1.-The Senate is
disposing of business with degree of
rapldlty in marked contrast with the con-
duct OF affairs in the House. But two
regular annual appropriation bills, which
were passed by the latter body remain to
be acted upon by the Senate. One of
them, the naval appropriation bill, will
doubtless be disposed OF within ten DAYS,
and the other, the pension appropriation
bill, is purposely withheld in committee
IN order to obtain a clearer insight into
the needs of the Pension Bureau.
A resolution III relation to the Choctaw
claims IS unfinished business, and NAV
be further debated tomorrow. When it
Is out OF the way the bill for the protec-
ton Of aliens will be taken up. Discus
sion under this head promises to be inter
estlng, because it will doubtless touch
upon the killing of the Italians at New
Orleans, and will also involve free ex-
preston OF opinion upon the proper
definitions of the functions of the Ma
tlonal and State Governments. The rev.
enue marine transfer bill will be called
up Thursday.
There are now four measures pressing
upon the attention of the House, early
consideration OF which is urged on vari-
Gus special grounds. The measures are
bryan's free binding tWine bill, Hatch's
antl-optlon bill, the sundry civil appro-
prlatlon bill and the river and harbor
appropriation bill.
An early adjournment is one thing
earnestly desired by the majority party
III the House, and in order to attain il the
policy Is to pass the appropriation bills as
speedily as possible and send to the
Senate, so on that body may be fixed the
responsibility for any prolongation of
the session. The prOmptneSS with which
the Senate passed the appropriation bill
shows the Interest it has for early ad-
JOurnnent, and also increased belief in
the possibility of accomplishment if the
House does its part. The appropriation
bills, therefore, generally continue to be
accorded the right way in the House.
Tomorrow IS suspension day. Per-
haps W Nalker's eXpunging resolution will
be disposed of by u twO-thirds vote under
a special rule relating to suspensions.
The diplomatic appropriation bill will be
pressed to final vote, after one or two
more days consideration, and then may
begin the struggle for precedence be-
tween the sundry civil and river and
harbor appropriation bills. An effort
will be made quietly TO reconcile the con-
filct, but unless this can be done the
matter of procedure must be decided by
a struggle on the floor of the House. The
chances are that the binding twine bill
and anti-Option bill will have to await on
| the two appropriation bills named.

men lettering about the outside of the
hotel for several weeks, and every time
that the Baroness would leave the hotel
to 60 out walking or driving, one of the
men would shadow her." AS the men

added that there is something in all this
