CONGRESSIONAL WORK.

4 Determined Effort &c BE Made in Both
Bouses to Press Forward the Work CT
the Session.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 31.-Both houses
of congress will resume their sessions
on Thursday next. and it is expected
that there viii be more determined
effort to press forward the work of the
session for the next month than has
characterized the proceedings during
the month which has already elapsed.
The necessary work of the session Is
the passage OF the appropriation bills.
of which there are fourteen. OF these.
none have passed the senate. and only
five have received the sanction of the
house. OF these five the senate com
mittee on appropriations has passed
favorably upon the pensions and mill
tary academy bills. while the army.
Qualifications and urgent deficiency
bills are still under consideration by
the committee.
1t is in order for the senate to take
up any reported appropriation bill at
any time and whether the Nicaragua
canal bill, which stands on the senate
calendar rs unfinished business. shall
continue to hold its place of vantage
viii depend for the present upon
whether the appropriations committee
shall desire to supplant it with the
pensions or Notifications bills. or with
any other appropriations bill after
the other bills shall be reported from
the committee. There is, however, no
urgency concerning either of the ap-
preparation bills SO far as reported,
and the probabilities are that the Mic.
aragua bill will not be displaced 70,
the present.
The Nicaragua canal discussions
Will. barring the possibility of displace-
ment and adjournment over until the
following Monday. be resumed after
the morning hour on Thursday with
Senator Morgan occupying the floor.
Mr.. Morgan has been devoting the
holidays to the preparation of a re-
ply TO Senator Turpie's attack upon the
canal bill and his friends expect him &c
makes vigorous and exhaustive defenSs
of the measure and of the enterprise
whose interests ii is intended to pro-
mote. He will probably speak an en-
tire day and possibly two or three days.
There may be an effort to have the
senate adjourn from Thursday over
until Monday in case there should not
appear to be a quorum when the SEN
ate reconvenes, but tn ose best ac-
quainted with senate methods predict
that il will sit for at least two DAYS OF
the present week.
