ness In the House.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.-Tho senate dur
ing the coming week will devote itself al.
most entirely to the discussion of the re-
peal bill. Possibly thsro may be an oc-
casional break during the morning hour,
but tho calendar affords very little scope
for diversion In this respect. The calen.
dar 10, indeed, one Of the briefest these
days, owing to the fact that general com
mittee action has boon encouraged In the
interest Of legislation on the Sherman
acts. II contains two OF three bills pro-
viding for the settlement Of government
claims, three resolutions for the payment
of the expenses of the recent claimants to
seats in the senate, Senator Morgan's res
olution for . finance committee, half o
dozen measures of minor importance re-
ported from tho committee on public
lands, Senator Hills bill for the repeat of
tho federal election law, aud Senator voor-
hees' repeal bill and his bill for the re-
moval of the tax on state banks.
Voorhees, decided more than week ago
that It would be incxpedient TO push his
bill in the interest Of the national banks
until the moro important repeal bill should
be disposed of; and his repeal bill has
been laid aside to allow the house meas
ure to be discussed until the senate is
ready for action, when, If conditional re-
peal is reached, the Voorhees, bill will
probably be substituted for the bill which
comes from tho other end of tho capitol.
Senator Hill will not attempt to secure
consideration for his anti-federal election
law bill until the question of repeal Is con-
cluded. II is the only subject of national
ts,,x as n k,af tl,a
ator PETERS resolution concerning the re.
serves of the New York, Philadelphia and
Boston banks. The other measures on
the calendar stand no show, according to
the present aspect Of affairs, of receiving
the slightest attention. 1t is quite evident
It Is the purpose of the repeal advocates
to hold that measure before the senate
for the present as the one object Of the
session, to the exclusion OF every other
subject as far rs that may be done. This
bill has right of way after o'clock. II is
even possible that the bill will be pressed
more persistently during the present week
than 1t was last week, now that there Is o
cessation OF compromise talk.
The outlook for the week, therefore, is
one Of solid talk on the financial situa-
ton, with the hill rspssiing the purchas-
ing clause of the Sherman law as q basis.
Senator Teller's speech was begun yes
terday and will be continued tomorrow.
Senator Mitchell of Oregon has given no
tice of n speech on Tuesday, and Senator
Daniel for a speech on Thursday. Other
speeches, sufficient to occupy the time Of
the senate for a week, are known to be In
preparation. Part OF the day Wednesday
will be devoted to eulogies of the late Sem
ator Stanford of California.
In the house there is nothing Of import
ance on the horizon for the coming week,
except tho ways and means, banking and
currency and appropriation committees,
which aro proceeding under the resolu-
ton passed when the committees were
announced. None of the other house
committees have had meeting. Not q
bill has been reported. This leaves the
house without q calendar. and therefore
unable to 20 ahead with tho consideration
of legislative matters, except by unani.
NOUS consent.
