IN CONGRESS THIS WEEK
fha Banking Bill |, the House and Tho
Nicaragua Bill In The Sanale.
TO RUSH BOTH THROUGH
That 10 the Intention. but Many Of
the Conservative Men Think Il
Wrong to Take Such
Hasty Action.

House. FoIEcAsr. WASHINGTON, Dec.
lG.-Thls week, tho last wcek before the
holiday recess, promises to bo an exciting
one in the house. The banking and cur
rency committee has arranged to bring
forward the Carlisle banking bill and will
tomorrow proffer request to the COM
mittee on rules for special order which
10 to set aside the remainder Of the week,
beginning on Tuesday, for debate on the
Carlisle bill, with provision Of the final
vote on Friday next. The banking com.
mittee desires to prolone the session SO 40
to begin ut IL o'clock .. m. and continue
until 1880 at night with o rccess from
until 8 p. m. The terms Of the special
order will be submitted to tho committee
on rules tomorrow. There is considera-
bio opposition among tho democrats Of
the house to the short limit it 10 pro-
posed to set upon the debate. Many Of
them feel that q measure Involving such
gigantic interests, contemplating 40 it
docs revolution In the entire banking
system OF the country, should not bs
crowded through In haste. This feeling
In shared by some Of the most prominent
democratic leaders OF the house. and
there seems o large possibility that the
banking and currency committee will be
overruled and that the special order will
give this week to debate with Q provision
for the final vote after the holiday recess.
Tomorrow the house will take up aud die.
pose Of the army appropriation bill. Ad.
journlnent for the holiday recess will
probably occur on Saturday. The talk Of
continuing tho session without tho Gus.
tomary recess seems to be based on very
slight foundation.
The Nicaragua canal bill holds It's place
~ the unfinished business on the senate
calendar, and the general understanding
appears to DO that II will continue to oc.
cupy the attention Of the senate With few
interruptions, and those by consent. until

on each day after the disposal Of the Morn.
ing business and It will surrender its
place temporarily on Thursday to permit
the ceremonies In commemoration Of
Webster and Starke, the unveiling Of
their statues, which have been placed In
the capitol. There 10 also Q probability
that the committee On appropriations
may ask consideration for the urgsus
deficiency bill toward the last of tho
week. Il 10 understood that Senator
Cockrcll. chairmrn Of this committee, will
lay stress upon tho chance Of getting this
bill through before the holidays. and that
he will ask tho senate to pass IL on Mon.
day or Tuesday. There 10 little probabil-
ity. however, that any Of tho other appro.
peistion bills will receive the attention OF
the senate during the week. The disposi.

Some senators predict thas the 6nal
vote on the Nicaraeua canal bill will bo

grounds and II Is quito probable that be.
