Washington, Feb 24.--Tomorrow the
house enters upon the last week of its
session, and the usual rush which char
acterizes the closing hours of every ses-
sion of congress will begin. Under the
rules, the last six days of every session
are suspension days, and members re-
cognized may call up bills and have
them acted upon under suspension OF
the rules. There are S31 public bills on
the calendar, PIT OF which must be con-
sidered In committee of the whole and
ia on the regular calendar. In addf-
ton to these, there are over 500 bills on
the private calendar. OF course, only
a very insignificant percentage of these
bills can be passed, but the press for
precedence Will be terrirc and many ex-
citing scenes are almost sure to occur.
1t is quite probable that several night
sessions will be held, and 1t is almost
certain that congress will remain In
continuous session from Saturday until
Monday next, on which day congress
expires by limitation at noon. The reg
ulai appropriation bills are unusually
advanced, so far as the house is con-
cerned, only one-the deficiency, being
enacted upon, and it will go to the SEN
ate tomorrow The two which are con-
sidered dangerous, that is, liable to fail
or be vetoed, are TIE sundry civil and
the diplomatic and consular. To the
former the senate committee on finance

secretary of the treasury to advertise
