NATIONAL LEGISLATORS
The Senate Waits the Return of the
Republicans.
SILVER BILL NOT COMING UP
The House Will wrestlo with Tariff
Bills. and Tin Plate is Said to be First
on tho Programme-More Talk Of Ad-
journment.

WAsHINoroN, juno 13.-The business
h the Senate during the coming week
will be governed to great extent by, and
will be dependent upon, the extent to
which the Republican Senators, who
have fiocked In such large numbers to
Minneapolis, will have returned to WASH
sngton, and have again taken their seats
In the chamber.
In any case, however, some progress
may be made on general appropriation
bills, two OF which, the legislative and
the agricultural, ware received from the
House last Thursday, and referred to the
committee on appropriations (where the
post Office appropriation bill Is also pend
ing), and several conference: reports will
probably be presented to tho Senate and
agreed to during the week.
The silver bill will not be taken up for
action until after things political shall
have got back into their normal condi-
fion (subsequent to the Democratic ma
tional convention;) but spe eches may
be expected upon II and on the currency
question during almost any days ses-
sion.
Mr.. Morgan is ready to take the floor
upon the silver question whenever he
sees an opportunity Of extracting the
views OF certain Senators; and Mr.. Fef-
fer has given notice OF his intention to
address the Senate today on his peculiar
bill ''to increase the currency and provide
for It's circulation, to reduce the rates OF
interest, and to establish bureau of
loans,"
And finally Mr.. Call proposes next
Wednesday to pay his respects to certain
railroad companies which show, as he
tion Of who shall be elected to the Sen
ate.
In the House the truce which was de-
clarcd on party measures will expire early
in the week when the Repu ublicans shall
have returned from their convention and
there il promise OF a busy week with the
tariff again the leading issue.
At this time 1t 10 impossible to state
the order In which the tariff bills will be
taken mp, but the proba bilities are that
the tin plate bill will be the hrst on the
programme II Mr.. shively returns to
expected. The silver-lead- lore bill and
the bill TO limit tho value OF clothing and
personal effects that may be brought in
to the United States by tourists are also
TO receive speedy consideration.
As there has already been free ex-
preston OF opinion on the general sub
5ect Of tariff revision, It is believed that
the debate on the first Of the measures
called up will be broad enough to cover
the Others. A strong disposition is ap-
parent to hasten the hour of final ad-
journment. All Of the regular annual APP
preparation bills have been passed origi-
ally by the House except the fortification
bill and the general deficiency bill. The
last named VIII be reported to the House
early in the week and both will receive
speedy treatment.
Some time is also to be given 10 the
consideration of conference reports, and
It is expected that the District Of Colum-
bia the river and harhor thu military
academy and possibly the army appro-
priation bills will be sent to the Presi-
dent for his approval during the week.
This is an extensive programme, but the
House managers are extremely desirous
to advance the appropriation bill AZ much
as possible before the exodus OF the Dem
ocratic members towards Chicago begins
at the latter end of the week and they
will use every effort to accomplish their
purpose.
