WASHINGTON, Nov. /.
When the Repeal bill is once out of the
way II seems to be practically settled by
the leaders in both Senate and House that
resolution will be introduced to notify
the President that the Fifty-third Con-
gress, assembled in extra session in ODE
dience to his call, is ready to adjourn, il he
has no further public business to lay be-
fore 1t.
CHINESE AND HAWAIIAN MATTERS.
The question as to whether the Presi-
dent will have any further public bust
ness to submit to Congress is believed to
revolye round two central pivots-the
Chinese bill and Hawaiian matters. If
the Senate to-day takes up the McCreary
bill amending the Geary Chinese law,
there may be no necessity for special
message on the subject. Should there be
delay upon the bill It is thought the Presi-
dent will deem it proper to explain why
some action of Congress on the Chinese
| question is especially desired before adj
| journment.
Whether the special message believed to
have been prepared on Hawaiian matters
will be sent to the Senate for consideration
| in executive session before adjournment
| will probably be determined to-day or to-
morrow. 1t is stated that there are also
matters relating to the Brazilian situation
which may be made the subject of execu-
| tive communication to the Senate. though
on this point there is very considerable
| doubt. To all appearances occurrences in
| Rio have not advanced to such a stage of
completeness as to make communication
to Congress compatible with the public
interests"
IN TIME FOR THE CHINESE BILL.
Senator White of California, should go
down to fame as a record-breaker. At IL
minutes and 81 seconds after IL o'clock,
| yesterday, the Senator dropped a great
| grip sack in the marble room. Five days
| growth of beard covered his face, that lit
| tie part of il not already oonsecrated to
such adornment, dust covered his clothes
and bis eyes wore the look of man who
| had lost sleep. At first sight the attea-
| dants did not recognize him; they started
to head him off, but at S71 seconds the
Senator was on the floor inquiring, lis the
Chinese bill up ?"
The Chinese bill was not yet up, the
Senator was informed, so he sank into a
chair to draw his first easy breath for five
days.
BEAT pHILEAs FoeG.
Mr.. Phileas Fogg, of globe-trotting fame,
| SPAWNED none of the continents as rapidly
as the Senator from the Golden Gate
| rushed eastward to be in at the considera-
| ton of the McCreary bill At 10 minutes
after five clock ON the evening of last
| Thursday, Mr.. White embarked on the
train at Los Angeles, and at IL minutes
after noon yesterday he disem barked
| within few squares of the Capitol. Not
waiting for nap or even for refresh
ments, the Senator jumped into hack to
be bowled up to the chamber. He was in
season. The bill was not taken up yet,
although it probably will be to-day.
Senator White said that the people OF
| California would be- in measure satisfied
If some of the definitions OF the bill were
made more explicit. Otherwise, and I'm.
less some amendments shall be agreed to,
he was not prepared to say what stand he
would take in regard to the bill.
