TWO BILLS MUST PASS,

/ WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-The talk oi
an early extra session of the Fifty.
fourth congress has been revived at the
capitol by the contingencies which may
arise growing ont of the failure of NEG
essary legislation to pass at the present
session. Upon two pending bills, it is
generally believed. hinges the question
Of whether Mr.. Cleveland viii convoke
the new congress soon after the death
OF the Fifty-third on March 4. These
two bills are the urgent deficiency ap.
preparation bill which contains the an.
preparation for carrying the income
tax into effect and which is pending in
the senate, and the Carlisle currency
bill which is under debate in the house
and the Fate of which will be decided
soon after the house reconvenes Jan. 8.

to the accumulated speech with which
he proposed talking the tariff bill to
death at the last session. unless certain
concessions were made in the wool
schedule. and is prepared for a long

script. it is said, to consume a months

Although the Democrats had elected
a narrow mc jority to the ensuing house
on that occasion, the brief time allowed
by Mr.. Hayes for representatives-elec to
reach Washington 1.-TWO weeks) made it
almost impossible for them to organize
