P l. E N 7 Y TO DO
Congress is Confronted With a Large
Amount of Labor.
Review of Important Liquidation That
Demands and May Get Considera-
ton When the Tarfn IL Over.

II the Senate should still be in a mood
for labor after the disposal of the tariff bill
and should have time to take up other than
the appropriation bills. 1t would not be
without material to work upon. The Senate
calendar now numbers twenty pages de-
voted merely to giving the titles of meas
ures, most Of which have been acted upon
by committees, and there is not a commit
tee of Importance that has not ready for
its consideration numerous bills Of greater
or less Importance.
There undoubtedly will be considerable
pressure to secure consideration by the Sem
ate of many of these bills, and the proba-
DllitieS are that a large number of those of
small importance will pass by general con-
sent. and at times when there is no appro-
priation bill to press for attention.
The Admission of Utah.
The probabilities also are that some Of the
more important measures may be taken up,
and especially those which are not expected
to evoke prolonged debate. 1t is under
stood to be Senator Faulkner's intention to
call up the bill for the admission of Utah,
and the friends of this measure are Very
hopeful that it will go through without en-
countering opposition, ana without arous-
ing much debate as the bill has been unani-
mously reported from committee and it is
understood to be the policy of both sides of
the Senate to have the territory admitted.
Other bills of general Importance. which
stand chance of receiving the approval Of
the Senate. are those providing for a codi-
ficaton of the pension laws and the print
ing bill
Another bill. which has not as yet been
reported from the committee but which
probab bly,, will be reported soon, Is that
providing for the reorganization of the per-
sonnet Of the navy. The committee OH in
terstate commerce Is uncertain as to the
pooling bill, and in the absence OF Senator
Butler, chairman of the COMMITTEES. who Is
not expected to return to Washington dur
Ing the present session, it's report to the
Senate, probably, will depend upon the &C.
ton of the House on the measure.
Other Important Measures.
Senator Hansbrough will doubtless make
an effort to secure consideration Of his
Russian thistle bill. which was displaced
by the tariff bill when that measure was
taken up. and which noH holds first place
on the calendar. Senator Morgan, prob
ably, will make an effort. If opportunity is
AFFORDED, TO get up his Nicaragua canal
bill. which holds place on the calenda-
There are some Who think that the silver
question will be revived during the present
session. but the indications are averse to
this view.
The committee on privileges and elections
will take up the Ady-Martin contest for
the seat held by Mr.. Martin in the Senate
Immediately after the conclusion OF the
tariff contest. and the Senate will. in all
probability, decide this question before ad-
journment.

FURTHER TARIFF CHANGES

Discussed by the Senate Finance
Committee, hut No Action Taken.
The democratic members Of the Senate
committee on finance went into session to-
day Immediately after the Senate ad-
Journed, and are understood to be engaged
In an effort to put the remaining part Of
the tariff bill in shape as to secure as
hasty action as possible upon 1t. When
the Senate reconvened they had under con-
sideration several matters Of minor detail
relating more especially to the policy to be
pursued in taking up articles which have
been passed over by the Senate in COM
Hittee of the whole, but the committee ad-
1ourned without taking action upon any Of
these questions. The withdrawal Of the
administrative features of the bill will nave
a possible effect upon some of these items,
especially upon those relating to crockery.
which were passed, and the committee had
that matter before It, There Is a probabil
ity Of another change in the paragraph
affecting building and loan associations
Some of the members of the committee
are still unsatisfie1 with the provision IS II
stands. Notwithstanding the various efforts
which have been made to put il In accept
able form
The committee Is DESTROYS of finding a
means of exempting these associations.
where they are of strictly mutual charsc.
ter, and are conducted for the benent OF
members who build homes. but they do not
want to afford this relief to associations
which combine a banking business with the
other branches of their business. and charge
high rates of interest. They have found II
difficult to make the distinction clear, but
will probably make some amendments look
ing to this end.
There has been verv strong pressure
brought to bea- to have the finance commit
tee withdraw its amendment increasing the
whisky tax to 81. 10 per gallon, and extend
ing the bonding period. and for restoring
the House provision, but this question has
not been taken up by the committee. which
does not appear to have been very much in
huenced by the agitation.

Speed and Strength of Design.
Arrangements have been completed for
the official speed trial of the triple screw
cruiser Minneapolis. She will leave Phila-
delphia next week and proceed to the vicini-
ty of Cape Ann, Mass, where she will be
speeded over a measured course beginning
at point opposite the Cape Ann range
lights and proceeding thence in straight
line for a distance of 43. $50 nautical miles
to point between Boon Island and Cape
Porpoise light house.
The vessel will be run over the course
twice. or, in case the contractors should be
dissatisfied with the results obtained by the
vessel upon such runs over the course they
may, If the vessel, including fittings and
machinery should. upon the first series Of
runs, fail In any particular to fulfill the re-
quirements of the contract for her construc-
ton relating to the trial, or If the result of
the trial on the first series of runs should
be affected by accident of any sort. make a
second series of runs over the course in or
der that they may select any two consecu-
tive runs In opposite directions, made on
any one day. as the official trial Of the YES
sci. The runs will take nearly two hours
each.
On the return trip of the vessel to the
works there will be three trials, ZACH lasting
eight hours. With the central screw, the
side one being disconnected and allowed to
iCNONc lively, With the Two SlQe screws,
the central one being disconnected and al
lowed to revolve freely; with all three
screws. The three trials will be made as
nearly as practicable at the same speed
twelve knots. The object of these trials is
to determine both the horse power and the
amount of coal required to obtain the same
speed with the various combination of
screws.
Among the important points to be deter
mined by the trial board are whether the
vessel is sufficiently strong to carry her ar
NOR and the armament. equipment, coal
stores and machinery indicated in the plans
and specifications; whether the hull, fittings
and equipment. and the machinery includ-
the vessel, are strong and we'll buila and in
strict conformity with the contract draw
ings. plans and specifications and with duly
authorized changes therein and whether the
vessel Is In all respects complete and ready
for delivery In accordance with the con-
tract.
The inspection board appointed for this
trial is composed as follows: Commodore r.
Q. Selfridge, president; Capt. p. H. Cooper,
Commanders F. A. Cook and r. B. Brad
