Democratic Programme.

WASHINGTON, May 24.-The Demo-
Gratis of the House caucused tonight and
decided to put the appropriation bills
ahead Of everything else, and prepare for
the adjournment of Congress as early as
practicable. Hatch, in the interest of the
anti-option bill, fought the motion to
give the appropriation bills precedence,
but was outvoted. He has not given up
the fight, however, and it is likely he
will oppose the appropriation bills on the
floor of the House.
