THE BANKING BILL UP.
The House Committee Wants
to Rush 1t Through.
MAY OVER UNTIL AFTER RECESS.
Nicaragua bill Holds the boards In the
Senate Chamber and May Last Until After
the Holidays President Cleveland Goes
ON N Hunting Trip.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1.-THE Nicaragua
canal bill holds its place as the unfinished
business on the senate calendar, and the
general understanding appears to be that
it will continue to occupy the attention of
the senate, with few interruptions-and
those by consent-until vote is taken
upon it. The bill only comes up on each
day after the disposal of the morning bust
ness. and it will surrender this place tenn
porarily on Thursday to permit of the GER
cmonics in communication of Webster and
Stark by the unveiling of the statues
which have been placed in the capitol.
There is also a probability that the CON-
mittec on appropriations may ask consid-
Grafton for the urgent deficiency bill to-
ward the last of the week. 1t is under
stood that Senator Cockrcll, chairman of
this committee, will put stress upon the
importance Of getting this bill through
before the holidays and that he will ask
the committee tn pass upon il today or to-
morrow. Their, is little probability, how
ever. that any Of the other appropriation
bills will receive the attention of the sen
ate during the week.
The disposition among senators is favor
able to an adjournment ON Thursday I'M
til after the CHI iStmaS holidays, but il is
to this arrangement and that the ad-
iournmcnt will bc delayed until Saturday.
The programme. therefore. with reference
to the holiday adjournment, 81 far rs one
has been arranged, i To adjourn on Satur-
day. the 22d inst, until Thursday, Jan. 3.
Some senators predict that the final
vote ON the Nicaragua bill will he reached
this week. hut the friends of the bill scarce
Iy hope for this result. They realize that

senator Canery's Objection.
senator Gallery Objection To an agree
mcnt for n vote on the bill ON Wednesday
next is understood to have been made
upon constitutional grounds and it j.
quite probable that he, with several other
senators, including Teller. Vest. George
and Villas. will .!cSirc To BE- heard in uppo-
sition To the measure before it shall bc dis
posed of. Senator Cullom will today open
the speaking for the week with II speech ON
this question.
This week promises to be an exciting
one in the house. The banking and cur
rcncy committee has arranged to bring
forward the Carlisle banking bill and will
today prefer II request to the committee ON
rules for special order which will set
aside the remainder If the week. begin
ming on Tuesday. for debate on the Car
Isle bill with provision for a final vote ON
Friday next. The hanking committee dc
sirCs 10 prolong the sessions 81 as 10 brgjn
at l II. IN. and continue until 1880 nj
night. with q recess from > until p. m.
The terms of the special order will h. sub
mittCd 10 the committee on rules today.
There is considerable opposition among
the Democrats OF the house to the short
limit it is proposed to set upon the drhatc,
Many of them feel that IA measure invulv-
ing such gigantic interests, contemplating
rs il docs n revolution in the entire bank
ing system Of the country. should not h.
crowded through i'll haste This feeling j.
shared by some of the most prominent
Democratic leaders Of the house. and il
seems Il largr possibility that the banking
and currency committee will b. ovCrrulCd,
and tn" special order will give this week
to debate. with provision for final vut4
after the holiday recess.
To-day the house will take UP and dis
. pose of thC army appropriation bill. Tn,
adjournment for the snlday rCCSS will
probably occur on Saturday. The talk OF
continuing the session without the Gus
tomary rrcv>S seems to he based ON very
slight foundation.
