THE WEEK IN CONGRESS.
House Democrats Alarmed at the Tariff
DIII's Slow ProRr.ss.

WASHINGTON. April eff the plans of
the Democratic leaders Of the senate do
not miscarry the senate will devote itself
almost exclusively this week to the con-
sderation of the tariff bill Their plan is
to have the bill taken up each day imme-
diately after the conclusion of routine
morning business. They may not succeed
In getting such an order as this, but the
announcement of the purpose of making
m effort in that direction is an indication
Of their intention OF CrowtliAg the debate
along as rapidly as it possibly can be done.
The Democratic members Of the finance
committee will also probably undertake
to extend the daily sessions until o'clock,
which will most likely be resisted by the
Republicans. Other questions which may
receive attention during the week are tho
Chinese treaty, the Russian thistle bill
and the resolution providing for the coin
age of Mexican dollars in this country.
Appropriation bills will have the right
OF way in the house during the week. 1t
is the intention of the house managers to
push ahead with these bills and get them
out of tho way as soon us possible. Some
of the prominent house Democrats are
alarmed at the slow progress made in the
senate with the tariff bill and the seeming
indifference those in charge of it are man
ifesting. They think by clearing up the
work of the house tho country will see
that any responsibility for the delay Of
the tariff which may exist will be laid at
the door of the senate.

When the troop had disappeared up
the dusty highway, Kenton returned to
the house to say goodby to its inmates,
and half an hour later he had turned
his face southwark, satisfied that ho had
secured all information possible for a
scout TO pick up. The farmer posted
him as to where he would likely strike
the Confederate outposts and warned
him what highways to avoid, but on
that very day Mcclellan WAS pushing
his cavalry forward and sei2ing new
territory. At o'clock in tho afternoon
as Kenton, who had been travelling in
the fields and undor cover of the forest,
was about to cross a highway be heard
the click, click OF carbina, and voice
called to him:

1t was Federal vidette, dismounted
and posted among the buahes which
fringed the highway. Kenton looked
up to find himself covered by carbine.
Both We're on the same side of tho road.
Ho had approached the videtta in rear,
and had he exercised more vigilance
