Time Of the Minneapolis Conysnton-Ihe

ASEuggls for the Ani-0ptiOus Bill.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., May 29.-The
chief subject for the consideration OF
the Senate during the coming week Will
be Mr.. Stewards bill for the free coin
age of gold and silver. IL has pre3e-
dence over all other subjects after the
morning hour.
Monday being Decoration Day, the
hall will not open until . O'clock on
Tuesday. Then Mr.. Sherman Qn case
he will have been put In possession OF
the information which he has been seek
ing from the Treasury departmentl will
address the Senate in opposition TO what
he calls "the silver heresy." His
speech will probably occupy the whole
OF Tuesdays session.
TIE debate will be continued on
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, after
which the matter will probably go over
until after the Minneapolis Convention.
The fact that eight Senators, including
Messrs. Teller and Wo!cott, are dele
gates TO that Convention and will con-
sequently be absent from Washington,
will probably act as stay of proceed.
ings in the cause OF silver, and, indeed,
il Is even questionable whether the
final decision will be reached until after
the Democratic Convention at Chicago.
In the meantime, should an arrange
ment be made to preserve 70 the silver
bill the advantageous position as the
unfinished business, there are special
orders which can be disposed. These
are:. The bill for the development and
announcement Of silk culture In the
United States, the bill fixing the COM
pensation OF United States district at
torneys, and the bill for the allotment
of lands among Indian tribes In tho
Puapaw agency in the Indian Territory.
The Committee on Appropriations Is
hard at work on the Sundry Civil Ap-
pro oriation bill, and may have IL ready
10 take the place OF the Silver bill when
the latter is laid aside temporarily. and
there are many public bills on the call
endar, which may, under like c0ndl-
tons, occupy the attention OF the SEN
ate, the first Of these being Mr.. Dolph's
bill, making an appropriation for the
purchase OF sites for Notifications.
The sundry civil appropriation bill
has at last been passed, and IL Is ex-
pected that the House will now make
better progress on the appropriation
bills. On Tuesday, when the House re-
assemblies after It's Decorptinn n9EPoSt
day, consideration Of the postofiice hp-
proeriatlon bill will be resumed, and
the bill taken up by paragraphs, general
debate having closed. The bill Is short,
and with the exception OF the para
graph reducing the ratio OF compensa-
tion TO be allowed land grant and gov
ernment aided railroads for carrying
the mails, and one or two other para
graphs, there Is nothing In IL likely 20
cause prolonged discussion, so that two
more DAYS should certainly suffice TO
put the bill on its final passage.
A struggle for precedence will then
take place between the Agricultural
Committee and the Appropriation Com
mlttee, 10 have the House take up tbs
anti-optlons bills in accordance with the
resolution adopted by the Democratic
caucus II the Appropriations Com
mlttee wins twill call upon the legis-
latlve executive and judicial approprl-
alton bill, reported TO the House last
Saturday, the majority OF the CONF
mittee being OF the opinion that this
bill, though subsequently reported,
should have priority In the House, OF
the Notifications appropriation bill,
which has been on the calendar Tor
several weeks. Either the antl-options
or ths legislative bill Is sufficiently Inn
portant and interesting 10 occupy the
House for the remainder OF the week
after the postoflice appropriation bill
has been disposed Of.
