Prospect-The Weeks Program.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-The second ses-
sion of the Fifty second congress, which
begins tomorrow, is likely to be more re.
markable for discussion than for action.
1t is believed generally that the regular
appropriation bills will represent nearly
all the positive achievement that can be
credited to this session. There may, how
ever, be several important exceptions.
One of them relates to the subject of i'm
migration. Undoubtedly powerful in
fiuences will be brought to bear to COM
pass the defeat of any bill embodying
the senate immigration committees
anggestion that all immigration be
Suspended for one year, but it
may be that the great public
sentiment behind it will oblige con-
gress to pass the measure. A strong effort
will certainly be made to procure the re-
peal Of the Sunday closing clause of the
worlds fair act. It may be, too, that some
action will be taken with a view to protect
ing railroad employees from the numerous
casualties resulting from the absence of
suitable devices to couple and stop freight
trains. These matters comprise what the
best Judgment comedies to be all the prob
abilities of original legislation on the part
of the coming session. No one expects
any tariff legislation in either house, but
the subject is 80 much involved in the
revenue question and in the appropriations
to be made that more or less discussion on
that topic may be expected.
The senate finance committee has not
yet completed the compilation of its elab
crate reports upon the different tariff sys-
TENS tried in the United States. These
reports may come under discussion at come
period in the session. There will probably
be many propositions and much talk look
ing to reforms in the national banking
laws, the necessity for which is said to be
indicated by the Keystone and Maverick
failures The state bank tax may also be
fruitful theme for discussion. Strong
efforts will be made by the house appro-
pristions to retrench expenditures at every
point and there may be many stormy de-
bates before the desired result is obtained.
There will be no lack of suggestions looK-
ing to changes in the laws designed to
regulate pension expenditures, and the
friends of the navy are not expected to sit
quietly by and witness any unfriendly
pruning of the estimates on that account.
It is Thought the senate will transact no
business to morrow. Tuesday the presi-
dents message will be sent in and is likely
to fill the day. Wednesday it is expected
that the senate will take up the anti
options bill, which is the unfinished bust
ness, and discuss 1t for the rest of the
week. The bill, however, is threatened
with renewal Of the determined and
skillful obstructive tactics which proved
successful at the first session.
It is probable that nothing of importance
will be taken up for action by the house
during the first week. The principal efforts
of the leaders will be to clear the deck of
matters coming over from last session, SO
that the house may get into good working
