NATIONAL SOLONS.
The Work Mapped Out for Sena-
tors and Representatives.
TARIFF AND SILVER QUESTIONS.

These, with a Dash of Reciprocity,
of Congressional Orators for the
Whole Week, Leaving Little Time
for Other Business.
WASHINGTON, March 7.-Tariff, reci-
procity and silver are each and all alike
to bo brought into discussion during the
coming week. Mr.. Voorhees, has signifed
his intention of calling up Mr.. Hale's
reciprocity resolution for the purpose Of
addressing the senate upon it. Mr..
Aldrich is understood to be ready to re-
port the result Of the investigation
which has been conducted by the sub
committee on finance into the workings
of the tariff, and Mr.. Dolph has given
notice Of an intention to speak on Mr..
Stanfords bill to provide a sound circu-
lating medium. with special reference
to It's bearing upon the agricultural in
terests. The pure food bill is still the
continuing order after the morning
hour.
The programme in the house for the
week will embrace the preliminary de-
bettt VIZ llt bHO Nltll eCDIOullC Questions
of the day-silver and the tariff. To-
day the resolution from the committee
on rules for day to consider the silver
bill will be in order. 1t is generally ex-
pected that the resolution will be passed,
as the silver men are strong enough to
carry it. The anti-silver men estimate
their maximum Democratic strength at
eighty votes. Several Republicans are
counted with the anti-silyer wing. 1t is
expected that the whole day will he oc-
cupied in the discussion and it is ex-
pected that some general legislation
Will be accomplished.
Tomorrow the opening slxirmish on
the tariff question will occur. The dis
cussion will not be confined to the three
bills reported from the ways and means
committee (wool, binding twine and
cotton tioa) but wide latitude will be
given to the debate, and members will
be allowed to discuss any phase OF the
tariff. 1t is understood the debate will
be opened by Mr.. McAIillin lowing to
Mr.. Springer's illness) and that the time
will be first accorded to the members of
the ways and means committee in the
order of their committee assignment.
While no one can state with certainty
the length of the discussion it is gene
rally believed that the entire week will
be consumed. Should this not occur
the sundly civil or the army appropria-
ton bill will probably be considered.

British Miners May Not Strike.

LONDON, March 1.-THE outlook in
the coal trade and among consumers is
somewhat brighter today, aud it appears
now as though the Miners federation
might recede somewhat from their stand
not to accept penny reduction in the
wages paid to miners. 1t also appears
probable that the gigantic strike which
II was proposed to inaugurate on the
18th inst, or rather the two weeks ces-
sation from work which was to begin
on that day, in order to restrict the out
put and thus compel consumers to pay
such an advance price for coal as would
warrant the mine owners in making no
reduction in wages, will not take place.
