WAsHlNGToN. March %

w ASHlNGTON, March 20
N CCORDING to the rules Monday
IAN is District OF Columbia day in
I9l the house, and under ordinary
II u conditions the committee in
charge OF affairs relating To tho dis
trict would have undisputed right of
way for the consideration Of Measures
called up by it. But when the house
adjourned Saturday the postal appro-
priAtiOn bill was pending and 1t is
probable that consideration of that
measure will be continued when the
house meets tomorrow until it shall be
disposed of.
Should district measures be taken
up, the bill to authorize the Metropol-
itan Street Railway company to change
Its motive power, is the unfinished
business 1t WAS considered two weeks
ago, giving rise to animated discussion
OF merits and prospects Of the under.
ground trolley system. Mr. Walksr,of
MASSACHUSETTS,, offered an amendment
requiring the company to put in an
electric underground motive power, the
bill as reported from the committee
leaving the company free to put in
either trolley or cable.
THE o'NElLL- JOY ELECTION CASE.

O'Neill Dem entitled to the seat now
held by JOY (Rep), but they will re-
quire the Democrats to produce a
quorum Of their own number to pass
the resolutions when the time comes to
vote The point in the case is to the
validity of votes cast for Joy upon
which the judges of election did not
place their initials az required by the
law of the state
After that case has been disposed of
the committee on elections may pro.
csed with the English Hilborn case

PROCEEDINGS IN THE SENATE.
The week in the senate depends more
upon the unexpected than upon any
thing fixed and determined Should
the president send in message to tho
house vetoing the Bland seigniorage
bill, the senate may find itself plunged
into an irregular financial debate on
various silver propositions now before
it, aud tariff twist will certainly be
given to this discussion of the silver
Senators who now threaten that a
veto of the seigniorsge bills means il e.
limitable opposition to tariff reform,

remains before the tariff bill can be
taken up In the regular order of bust.
