Appropriations.

WASHINGTON, May s.-Mr. Frye has
given notice that he will occupy an
hour of the senate's time tomorrow on
all important matter. This notice has
reference to the house bill authorizing
an American registry to be given to the
City of Paris and her sister ocean grey
hound of the Inman line, City of New
York, conditioned upon the company
building two other vessels of equal size
and speed in this country. The senate
committee on commerce. of which Mr..
Frye is chairman, have authorized him
to report the house bill favorably to the
senate and to urge its immediate pass
age, and this he will do tomorrow. Mr..
Frye is understood to entertain some
very clear-cut opinions in regard to
the reported dissatisfaction of the
British authorities with this pro-
posed measure, and he is likely
70 express those opinions in his usual
pointed style. The Choctaw and Chlcka-
saw claim is to be discussed tomorrow
until 4 o'clock, when vote will be
taken upon the pending resolution,
which authorizes the payment to the
Indians of about S3,000,000. The naval
appropriation bill will be called up for
consideration Tuesday. 1t the senate
takes up the calendar during the week
the first bill to be considered is one to
provide for Notifications and other coast
defenses, and with it may be considered
the bill making an appropriation for the
purchase of sites for Notifications. Ly-
ing on the presiding officers desk is the
presidents communication relative to
b-monetary conference, on which Mr..
Morgan has given notice of his Intention
will be utilized also by other senators
interested in the silver question to set
forth their views upon this phase of it.
Unusually rapid progress was made
with the river and harbOr bill in the
house during the past week, and as
result the sundry civil bill will probably
be taken up tomorrow after part OF
the Legislative day is consumed in busi-
ness concerning the District of Colun-
bia. Like the river and harbor bill, the
sundry civil bill is a long measure con-
tanning many items of local interest to
congressman, and of necessity its con-
sideration will require several days.
Moreover. the sundry bill is not satis
factory to all the members of the appro-
priations committee, the Republican
minority objecting to number of
items of appropriation as insufficient,
so that it will not be surpris-
ing if it takes nearly if not the
entire week to bring the bill to a
final vote. Chairman Hatch, of the
committee on agriculture, will make an
earnest effort to secure consideration
for the anti-options bill as soon as the
sundrv civil bill is out of the way. The
anti-optlons bill is, however, vigorously
opposed by many members, who will
use ali the devices known to parlia-
mentarians to keep the measure in the
background. The Notifications and
postoffice appropriation bills are also on
the calendar, and Mr.. Breckinridge, of
Kentucky, will antagonize the anti
options bill with the tirst-named meas
ure. Only three of the regular annual
appropriation bills remain to be re-
ported to the house, viz: The legis-
Iative, executive and judicial; the ag
ricultural andsthe deficiency bills.
