WASHINGTON, d. c., June l2.-Tha
business OF the Senate during the com
ing week will be governed 10 a great
extent by and will be dependent upon
the extent 10 which the Republican
Senators, who have hocked In such
large numbers TO Minneapolis, will have
returned TO Washington and have again
taken their seats In the chamber.
In any case, however, some progress
may be made on general appropriation
bills, two OF which (the legislative and
the agriculturaD were received from
the house last Thursday and referred 20
the committee on appropriations where
the post Office appropriation bill IL also
pendingl and several conference reports
will probably be presented TO the SEN
ate and agreed 20 during the week.
THE SILVER BILL
will not be taken up for action until
after things political shall have got
back into their normal condition (subse-
Quent TO the Democratic National Con-
vention), but speeches may be expected
npon 1t and on the currency question
during almost any days session. Mr..
Morgan is ready TO take the fioUr upon
the silver question whenever he sees an
opportunity OF extracting the views OF
certain Senators, and MIR. PETER has
given notice OF his intention 10 address
the Senate tomorrow on his peculiar
bill 80 incrSase the currency and pro-
vide for its circulation, TO reduce the
rates OF interest and 10 establish a
Bureau OF Loans" and finally, Mr.. Cali
proposes next Wednesday 10 pay his re-
spects 10 certain railroad companies
which show, as he thinks, too much In
terest In the question Of who shall DO
elected TO the Senate.
In the House the truce which was de-
clared on party measures will expire
In the week when the Republicans shall
have returned from their Convention,
and there is promise Of busy week
with the tariff, again the leading issue.
AT this time IL is impossible 10 state
the order In which the tariff bills will
be taken up but the probabilities are
that the tin plate bill will be the df>

as is expected.
The sllver-lead.ore bill, and tho bill
TO limit the value Of clothing and per-
sonal effects that may be brought TO The
United States by tourists, are also 10
receive speedy consideration. As there
has alreadp been free expression OF
opinion on the general subject OF tariff
revision, IL is believed that the debate
on the first of the measures called up
will be broad enough TO cover the 9TH
ers.
A strong disposition is apparent to
hasten
THE HOUR OF FINAL ADJOURNMENT.
All OF the regular annual appropriation
bills have been passed originally by the
house. except the fortiiication bill and
the general deficiency bill. The last
will be reported TO the House early IN
the week and both will receive speedy
treatment. Some time Is also 70 be
given 70 the consideration confer
ence reports. aud IL is expected that the
District Of Columbia, the river aud bar
Dor, the Military Academy and possibly
the army appropriation bills Will be
sent 10 the President for his approval
during this week.
This Is an extensive programme, but
the House managers are extremely de-
sirous 10 advance the appropriation
bills as much as possible before the ex.

wards Chicago begins az the latter end
OF the week. and they will use every
effort TO accomplish their purpose.
