WA~BINGroN, Nov THE

absorbing topic among the members

70 lave passed before Il jornment
the bill extending the Chinese law,
and President Cleveland is ver,
anxious to have the nomination of
Associate Justice IIornblower con
tirmed before adjournment. Be
sides this, there are number Of
other nominations which it is
thought important to have acted on
before dissolution.
Speaker Crisp and General Catch
ings, of the committee on rules, had
conference THE morning, and de
clded to report resolution for ad-
i0urnment tomorrow afternoon at 3
O'Clock.
The house is ready to adjourn to-
day, but the senate desires to dis.
pose of the Chinese bill il possible,
and all the nom nations sent in by
the president. All nominations that
fail of confirmation when the senate
adjourns lapse, and must be sent to
the senate again. The nomination.
over which there is most contention
is that of Judge Hornblower, Of
New \ ok, nominated for a place
on the supreme bench. The general
belief is that Senator Hill, who is
fighting his confirmation, has
effected combination that will de.
feat it at this session.
Congress will have plenty of
business to begin work upon when
it assemblies IN December. The
committees have not been idle dur
ing the extra session, and have
placed upon the calendars of both
the senate and house number Of
bulls which will be called at an early
day. In the house there will he
the pending business, the bank
ruptcy bill. General Oates has lost
all hope of getting vote on his
measure at this session. During
the time that yet remains for its
consideration before adjournment
he will endeavor TO have an agree
ment reached by which the bill will
be consi cred under the five minute
rule. This means that it will be
read by paragraphs and be open to
amendments. The most bitter tighg
will come up on some of these
amendments. The bill will be at
tackled in every quarter, and unless
the men who oppose 1T miss their
guess it will be amended out of all
shape as introduced.
There are propositions to cor
slider other bills now pending be.
fore the committee on rules, bur
no action will be taken until the
re assembling. AS to what sha,
DO taken up will depend upon en-
tlrely the state Of the tariff bill and
the time when the house viii be-
ready to- consider it.
