MAY ADJOURN THIS WEEK
CLOSING DAYS OF CONGRESS ARE
NEAR AT HAND.

1t 10 Possible That the Session May End
on Wednesday,, Although Hitch May
Occur Mt Any Moment--This Possible
Contingency, However, is Not Expected
Nothing Decided Upon Oh tho Senate
Bond Bill.
| Washington, June 7.--Unless all signs
tail, congress will adjourn this week.
ana those in touch with the business of
poth houses appear to agree that the
result may be secured by Wednesday.
Stlll, conditions are such that a hitch
might occur at any moment, which
would protract the session for another
week. This, however, while g. possible
contingency, is not expected.
| Inc several appropriation bills are to
be disposed of-Indian bill, upon which
the house refused to act favorably on
the conference agreed to in the senate:
the post office bill, the report on which
| was agreed to in the house Saturday
and Will be accepted by the senate on
Monday; the naval bill, which will
doubtless be disposed of speedily to-
morrow, as the conferees have already
formulated a compromise which they
| believe will be acceptable to both
/ houses, the sundry civil bill. upon
which the house and senate seem to be
deadlocked over the appropriations for
public buildings inserted by the senate,
and the District bill, numerous items Of
which are still in dispute. 1t is conf
| IDENTIFY expected, however, that all of
these will be out of the way within the
next forty eight hours.
The new deficiency bill, which passed
I on Thursday, will be rushed through
the senate tomorrow with all possible
| speed, it being the intention of the COM
mittee to move to lay on the table any
amendments that may be offered, SO the
| bill will pass as 1t comes from the
house. This is the only method the
senate has under it's rules to cut all de-
| bate, and it will be appealed to literally
| when this measure comes up. The Inn
| migration bill is the unfinished business
! and Mr.. Lodge will call it up to-mor-
| row for consideration, if an opening
| presents itself.
| Mr. Hill, who is in charge of the con-
| tempt of court BILL a piece Of legisla-
| tion growing out of the Debs case, is
| also anxious for consideration, and may
| lock hQx1s with Mr.. Lodge for the right
| of way. Mr.. Gear will seek to fix day
| during the next session when the Pacis
| fic refunding acts shall be taken up. In
| this he may succeed, as both friends
and opponents believe that this subject
| should be settled one way or the other.
| All of these and other matters that
| may come before the senate will tend
/ to make the next few days exceedingly
busy ones, and if Mr.. Allison, chairman
| of the committee on appropriations.
| carries out his previously expressed in
| tention of not reporting the adjourn
ment resolution until all the appropri-
alton bills have gone to the president.
there may be ample time to discuss sev-
eral things upon which senators desirs
to speak. The course Of business is.
therefore, uncertain and forecast is
largely conjectural.
The house will devote itself for the
remainder of the session to disposing Of
conference reports, contested election
cases and other business under suspen-
sion of the rules. 1t will meet for an
hour tomorrow morning in continual
tion of Saturdays session in order to
enable members to move the passage Of
bills under suspension in accordance
with tuS IClulo VI tllG OIuGI Ol EIlUdy
last.
There are two election cases on the
calendar, both of which will be vigor-
ously contested on the floor-Aldrich,
rep, versus Underwood, DEM, from the
Ninth Alabama district where the COM
mittee recommend the seating of AL
drich, and Yost, rep, versus Tucker
dem, from the Tenth Virginia district,
where the committee recommend that
Tucker retain his seat. Another case
that of Hopkins, rep, versus Kendall,
DEM, from the Tenth Kentucky district.
has not yet been reported. These are
all that remain of the twenty-three con-
tests filed with the clerk. Speaker
Reed is exceedingly anxious that the
dockets should be entirely cleared be-
fore the house adjourns and hopes to be
able to accomplish it.
It has not been definitely decided
what to do with the senate bond bill
reported adversely by the committee on
ways and means. The leaders think it
should be disposed of and vote is
probable, although there Is much oppo-
sition to action at this session.
