CONGRESSIONAL FORECAST.
What the National Legislature is Expected
to Do This Week

WASHINGTON, D. c., February eli
The present week in Congress is likely
to be uneventful. Although both
Houses will reasSemble Tuesday, 1t is
improbable that q quorum OF Congress
will be present until the following day.
The Claggett-DuboiS contested cleo
tiOn case will come up in the Senate as
the unfinished business, and may con-
sumo several days in its discussion.
The Paddock pure food bill is set down
as the next subject for consideration,
and prolonged debate upon the merits
OF the measure is inevitable.
These matters will probably occupy
the attention OF the Senate during the
legislative week, with the possible ad-
dition Of some interesting proceedings
in executive session in connection with
pending nominations.
When the House reasSembleS Tuesday
according TO an understanding hereto
fore reached, il will begin consideration
of its first election contest, namely that
OF Craig VS.. Stewart, from Pennsylva-
mia. Two Of the Republican members
OF the Committee on Elections have
Joined with the. Democratic msjority OF
the committee in recommending thai
Stewart, the Republican, be ousted, and
that Craig, the Democratic contestant,
be seated. Chairman OFerrall, says
that the case should be decided by the
House in one day, but it is possible that
the contest will last two days. The In
dian appropriation bill is the unfinished
business before the House.
Considerable progress was made in
its discussion during the two days OF
the past week when it was under discus
sion, and il is thought that another day
will be sufficient for bringing it to pass
age by the House. Any time in addition
to one legislative day devoted to the
Indian Appropriation bill will initiate
against private bills, which are entitled
to engross the whole of Friday when
there is not some matter Of privilege or
great Importance before the House.
Saturday is what may be termed an
''open day" on the popular branch Of
Congress, nothing being set down for
that day.
A Democratic caucus is part Of the
programme for the week, and it is eX-
pected that in this caucus the party
policy for the remainder of the session
on the tariff and silver questions will be
discussed with vigor and earnestness.

Considerable Speculation As to What the
Result VIII Be-The Anti-Hm Meeting
Arranged.
ALBANY, y. Y, February 21.-There
seems now to be little doubt that the
entire State delegation to Chicago will
be bound by the unit rule to the for
tunes Of Mr.. Hill. The topics of specu-
lation to-day have been the personnel Of
the delegation at large and the possible
action to be taken tomorrow by the
anti-Hill forces.
The antl-Hill people will meet at
o'clock tomorrow afternoon, after re-
ceipt Of tidings from the State Commit
tie as 70 its action upon the protest. 1t
Is then expected, although the leaders
against Mr.. Hill do not say so, that an
address will be issued TO the Democrats
Of the State, in which the time and
place OF another convention will be
named and, aud the voters will be asked
tohold primaries for the selection Of
delegates thereto.
The convention tomorrow will be
called 20 order at noon, and after tenn
porary organization has been effected
and committees named, a recess will be
had, doubtless, until o'clock. 1t will
be during this recess Of the convention
that the opponents Of Senator Hill will
have their meeting in Union Hail, where
the convention is TO De held.

the ancient right Of freemen to choose

modern times. On no field OF battle,

Between the noble men, who by their
devoted and splendid service, on this
occasion, raised, for all time, the char

ter a long, arduouS, and desperate
struggle, averted the deadly stroke we
have no wish 10 distinguish. But

most resolute, the most vigilant, the
most efficient, in place the most dlttl-
cult and trying, where the smallest er-
rOr might have been fatal-waS Charles
James Faulkner, the young Senator OF
West Virginia. In commemoration OF
his patriotic devotion, unsurpassed
by that OF any Of his immortal
fellows, in that great contest which
must occupy so large space in the con-
stitutional history Of our country, am
instructed, by gentlemen connected
with the National Association OF Demo-
cratic Clubs, to present TO West Vir-
ginia the accompanying portrait Of her
honored Senator, and TO request your
acceptance Of it on behalf OF the State.
And I remain, with great respect,
Your obedient servant,
CHAUNCEY L. BLACK.

met. The opinion grows that the best
way out Of the difficulty will be found
in the dissolution OF the Chambers.

cause Of the fall OF the present minis

prevalent among the Radicals that the

Pope is due to secret treaty between

United States Minister Reid and fam
lily expect to sail on the steamship La

Reid has not yet resigned the post OF
United States Minister. 1t was his de-
sire at first to resign early enongh TO
enable him TO present his successor TO
the French officials. but at the request
of the State Department at Washington
he will not resign until after his ar
rival in America. and probably not un-
til the extradition treaty has been voted
upon by the United States Senate, as
the State Department might wish him
to explain officially some portion Of the
document.
