COMING WEEK IN CONGRESS.

Consideration of appropriation Hills
and the Tariff Conference Report.
WASHINGTON, July l5.-The only
positive indication for the week In the
senate Is that the consideration of ap
preparation bills will be continued
There is a probability that a day or
two will he given 10 the Chinese treaty
and possibility that the tariff confer
ence report will call Tor attention in
In some shape. The taking up of the
treaty will depend upon whether the
managers of the appropriation bills
will consent to yield the time for ii
and the further consideration of the
tariff question will depend upon
whether the conferecs shall make their
report, and, incidentally, upon the char
acler of the report when made. Sena-
tor Gray, representing the administra-
ton is very anxious to have the treaty
DISPOSED OF and lie has expressed the
opinion that it will be possible TO get 1t
up Tuesday or Wednesday. Secretary
Gresham does not conceal the concern
lie feels with regard 10 the treaty and
he has been reinforced during .he past
week in his efforts to secure early and
and arguments of Minister Dsnizy.
who has visited the senate OH dilieren I
occasions in its behalf.
If the tariff conference report shall
reach the senate 1t will undoubtedly
evoke considerable discussion il il

change any of the material amend
ments Of The senate. When the senate
adjourned Saturday the executive and
judicial appropriation bill wns under
consideration. 1t Is expected when IL

will he on Monday, the Indian appro-
p-iation work will De taken up, and
lint out OF The way the agricultural,
District of Columbia and sundry civil
and general deficiency bills will be con-
sidered, probably in the order named.
This will complete the list. 1t - pos.
sible there will be more or less debate
ON all of these bills, but If other ques-
lions are allowed to intereferr. all prob.
ably can not be disposed OF during the

There Ia no settled program this
week for the house. Everything will
be subject to displacement in favor OF

by debate, especially If a disagreement

of Ben L. Kelley, the traplcr who es-
corted the Cnrlin hunling party out Of

which left this city June @, returned

party made q thorough search of the
river banks aud surrounding country
for distance Of several miles in all dl-
reciions from the spot where the un
fortunate cook was deserted. Not u
single trace of tile missing man could
be found, nor was there anything TO
indicate that he had wandered from
the camp where he had been left. Tue
Kelley party encountered many hard
ships on the trip, but stuck faithfully
TO the task until all hope of finding
Colgate's bones had TO be abandoned.

THREE LESSONS LEARNED.
Rev. Thomas Dixon. Jr., breaches on
tho Strike.


NEW York, July l5.-Rev Thomas
Dixon, Jr.. who finds text for each
Sundays sermon in the events OF the
preceding week, preached In Associ-
alton hall today on the strike. This
great uprising of the laboring classes,
which has cost the country 81, 900, 900
aud was likely TO cost it 5000. 900
more. had its origin in Il great injus-
tice perpetrated by somebody. 1t was
impossible 10 imagine the labDring
c.usses, after enduring the mlseries con-
sequent on the depression Of the past
year, leaving their workshops unless
there was an injustice someW here.
Three lessons, however, had been
learned by the strike;
Firs.-That the railroad managers
were utterly incapable to handle their
railroads the moment the strike was
precipitated. Second-Thet mob VIC.
lenco aud disorder would, under no
circumstances, be tolerated by the
American people. Third-rhat the
national government alone has power
to break such strike aud raise n rail
road bluckad from which follows the
logical conclusion that the national
government should own the railroads
of the country.

JACKSON, Miss, July l5.--The Miss
lssippl legislature at its last session
passed an act authorizing the governor,
auditor and treasurer TO issue treasury
warrants in denominations OF SOS ould
1t become necessary 10 tide over the
financial crisis. The issue was liml ted
to 5000 600. 1t was the inleition of the
legislature to have the warrants asa
as money all over the state. Immedi-
ately after the passage OF the act the
state auditor contracted with the ST.
Louis Bank Note Company for the
printing of warrants and the frat in
stallment of $40, 900 was delivered TO
the state treasury aud placed in circu-
lation few weeks ago.
Yesterday Governor Stone received
dispatch from w. w. Hszen, chief
Of the United STATES secret service ut
Washington, demun ing that the gov
ernor send to him all unsigned war
rants not IN circulation. Mr.. Hs2en
telegrnphed the st. Louis Bank Noie
Company that the plates be turned
over TO the government. n his inter-
view Governor Stone stated that he
would not comply with Hazen's de-
mand and that the Issue of speciul
warrants will he continued until the
full 500, 900 is completed.
The state llicals regard Ha2en's
demands az warranted interference,
and will not treat it seriously. They
say that hi0 demands were based on
the assumption that the special war;
rants resemble too closely United
States currency, and are vlolative Of
the laws of the United States. This is
denied by Governor stone, who says
the act OF the legislature is sustained
ty the best legal authorities III the
country. The county auditor has teie-
graphcd the 81. Louis Bank Note
Company not to pay any attention to
Hazer's demands.
