WASHINGTON, April 24.-In contrast
with the lively scenes of the past week,
the proceedings of both branches of Con-
gress the coming week promise lack of
public interest. The managers of the
House have decided to devote the entire
week to consideration of the appropria-
tions bills. Tomorrow the diplomatic
and Consular appropriation bill will be
called up. AS this measure makes radi-
cal changes IN the existing law, it will
doubtless be attacked by its opponents
upon the floor.
The appropriation bills will also figure
largely in the Senate proceedings. De-
bate on the Chinese bin will occupy all of
tomorrow, and the bill will probably go
to the House Tuesday with Senate
amendments
