dE WEEE IN CONGRESS-
Consideration Of the Appropriation
Bills Considered,
THE CHINESE TREATY FOLLOWS,

A Possibility That the Tariff Conference
Report win Call for Alteration in Some
shape-No Settled Program for the
House.
WASHINGTON, July 16-The only posi-
tive indication for the week in the senate
Is that the consideration of the appropria.
tion bills will be continued There is a
probability that day or two will be
given to the Chinese treaty, and q possi-
bility that the tariff conference report
will call for attention in some shape. The
taking up of the treaty will depend upon
whether the managers of the appropria-
ton bills will consent to yield the time
for it, and the further consideration of
the tariff question will depend upon
whether the conferees shall make their
| report, and incidentally upon the charac-
ter of the report when made.
Senator Gray, representing the admins
tration, is very anxious to have the treaty
disposed of, and he has expressed the opiu-
| ion that it will be possible to get 1t up to-
morrow or Wednesday. When considered
/ ii probably will consume an entire day, if
not more time, in executive session. Sec
| retary Gresham does not conceal the con
cern he feels with regard TO the treaty,
and he has been reinforced during the
| past week in his efforts to secure early
and favorable consideration by the pres
ence and arguments of Minister DENLY
| who has visited the senate ontwo or three
different occasions in that behalf
When the senate adjourned Saturday
the executive and judicial appropriation
bill was under consideration. 1t is ex
I pected that when it shall be disposed of
as it is thought that it will be to-day
| the Indian appropriation bill will be
taken up, and with that out of the way
the agricultural, District of Columbia
| sundry civil and general deficiency bills
will be considered probably in the order
named. These will complete the list. II
| is probable that there will be more or less
| debate on all of these bills, but if Other
| questions are not allowed to interfere al
| probably can be disposed of during the
week. Senate bill authorizing the con
struction of bridge across the Mononga
hela river near Belle Vernon, Pa, was
| passed by the senate Saturday.
There is no settled program for tn,
weeek in the house Everything will b,
subject to displacement in favor of tht
conference report on the tariff bill, whe1
one is agreed upon. The house manager
in case a report is made this week axe no
disposed to allow too much time to b
consumed by debate, especially if a disa
| greement is reported on the vital differ
enoes between the two houses. Though
the time will be limited it is the desire o
the house managers to give sufficient op
portunity for the leading house member
to place their positions squarely before th
country The absence of Speaker Crisp
who is expected tomorrow unless the con
dition of his son does not improve, make
the business of the house pending the re
port from the conference problematical
Today is suspension day and tomorrow
| will probably be given to the committe,
on judiciary. Further than this, how
| ever, no program has been manned out.
