BY the Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-There will be
an effort on the part of the senate during
the present week to clear up the calen-
dar as far as possible prior to taking up
the tariff bill, which, when reported to
the senate is expected to exclude con-
sideration of most other subjects.
Speechmsking during the week is to be
devoted to variety of topics, including
the Stewart bond resolution, the Turpie
Hawaiian resolution, and probably the
resolution of Hale instructing the COM
mittee on finance to grant hearings on
the tariff bill. Gray and Daniel have
given notice of speeches on the Hawaii
an resolution Monday, and White. of
California, is among others who proba-
bly, will address the senate later in the
week on this topic.
The bill to compel railroad com panies
operating road in territories over rights
of way granted by the government to
establish stations at all townsites estab-
lished by the interior department, is
unfinished business on the calendar,
and when disposed Of, the bill to provide
for additional accommodations for the
government printing office will be tax en-
up and acted on as soon as practicable.
1t ia believed the committee on Judi
ciary will diapose of the Peckham nom
ination tomorrow, and, II 80, IN all PROB
ability there will be at least one day
session for the purpose of passing upon
this nomination.
HOUSE FORECAST.
It is expected that consideration 70
the Bland seigpiorage bill will be COM
pleted in the house Wednesday. To-
morrow is District of Columbia day, but
by special order the time after 3 O'Clock
has been set aside for paying tribute To
the memory OF the late Senator Stanford
tne' three hours previous by Bland.
When the Bland bill reaches vote the
general expectation is it will pass after
having been modified in certain particu-
lars to meet the objections of Secretary
Carlisle to give him some latitude and
discretion in the issue of treasury notes
against seigniorage and in the coinage
of bullion. Thursday the O'Neil-Joy
contested election case will come up and
by agreement six hours will be devoted
to debate thereon; O'Neil will probably
be seated by an almost strict party VOTE
The remainder of the week will be de.
voted to the forti6cation appropriation
bill.
THE TARIFF BILL.
A member of the senate finance COM
mittee says no one can now tell when
the tariff bill will be ready to report to
the senate or what change will be made
in the house bill to provide sufficient
revenue for the government, and to
this end articles will be taken from the
free list and increases will be made in

worthy of most careful investigation
by the Stewards. This filly's running
at the Summer meeting of the American
Jockey Club was very ugly looking. but
1t did not compare with her last two
attempts. 1t may be that the filly ran
away three miles, as she did this Sum-
mer, just previous to race. but that
does not alter the fact that her per-
formances in the last two races are in
startling contrast. On Tuesday last
