Washington, July 3O.-The day in the
senate is icing given up to the sundry
civil appropriation bill. This always
arouses mere or less debate. The bill
this year will probably prove no excep-
ton, and it is likely that two or three
days will be devoted to it unless it should
be side-tracked by the tariff. With the
sundry civil bill disposed of, the general
deficiency bill will be the only appro-
priation bill remaining Enacted upon by
the senate. 1t has not yet been consid-
cred by the committee or appropriations,
but will be taken up as soon as the sun
dry civil bill shall be reported, and will
probably be in shape to be considered by
the senate by the time the sundry civil
bill is out of the way. -Four of the an
preparation bills are in conference. and
reports upon these may be expected dur
ing the week, with the possibility of more
or less debate upon each. If time per
mits the general calendar presents q
great variety of matter for the considera
ton of the senate,
