Congress Expected 10 Adjourn In
Three Days.


Washington, June 7.-Uuless all signs
fail congress VIII adjourn this week. ana
those in touch with the business Of botn
houses appear to agree that the result
may be secured on Wednesday Still.
conditions are such that a hitch might oc-
cur at any moment which Will protract
the session for another week. This, how
ever, while a possible contingency, is not
expected.
The business Of the Senate depends en-
tirely upon the headway made with the
conference reports Several of these up-
on appropriation bills are still to be dis
posed Of, as follows. Indian bill upon
which the House refused to act favOra bly
on the conference agreed to In the SEN
ate; the postohice bill. the report on
which was agreed to Id the House Satur-
day, and Will be accepted by the Senate
tomorrow; the naval BILL which Will
doubtless be disposed Of speedily to-mor-
row morning. as the conferees have al
ready formulated a ADmprOmise whicn
they believe win be acceptable to both
houses; the sundry civil bill, upon which
the Senate and House seem 10 be dead
locked over the appropriation for public
buildings inserted by the Senate. and the
District of Columbia bin, numerous items
of which are in dispute. 10 IS conddent-
ly expected, however, that all Of these

House. This motion TO lay on the table
Is the only method the Senate has under
the rules 10 cut off debate, and Ii will
be appealed to literally when this measure
comes up.
The immigration bin is the unfinished
business, and Mr.. Lodge viii call It up

MIR. Hill, who Is in charge Of the con-
tempt Of court bill, on account Of the Leg
islation growing out of the Debs case,
is also anxious for consideration, and may
lock horns with Mr.. Lodge for the right
of-way.
Mr.. Gear will seek to fix day during
the next session when the Pacific rail-
road refunding acts shall be taken up.
In this he may succeed as both its
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 viii tend to make
the next few days exceedingly busy ones
and If Mr.. Allison, chairman of the COM
mittee on appropriations, carries out his
previously expressed intention of not re-
porting the adjournment resolution untn
all the Appropriation bills have gone to
the President there may be ample time
to discuss several things upon which SEN
ators desire to speak.s The course Of
business Is, therefore, uncertain and a
forecast is largely conjectural.
The House win devote itself for the
remainder Of the session to disDOsing Of
conference reports, contested election
cases and other business under suspen-
sion of the rules. 1t viii meet for an
hour tomorrow morning in continuation
Of Saturdays session in order to enable
members TO move the passage of bills

terms Of the order of Friday last.
There are two election cases on the
calendar, both of which win be vigor-
ously contested on the fioor-T. H. AID
rich, rep. VS. Oscar w. Underwood, dem
from the Ninth Alabama district where
the committee recommended the seating
of Aldrich, and Jacob Yost, pop, VS. H
St. George Tucker. dem, from the Tenth
Virginia district, where the committee
recommend that Tucker retain his seat
Another case, that Of n. T. Hopkins, rep
VS. Joseph NJ. Kendall, dem from the
Tenth Kentucky district. has not yet
been reported from the committee. These
are all that remain of the thirty-three
contests filed with the clerk of the House.
Speaker Reed IS exceedingly anxious that
the docket should be entirely cleared be-
fore the House adjourns, and hopes to be
able to accomplish it.
1t has not been definitely decided what
to 10 with the Senate bond bill reported
adversely by the committee on ways and
means. The leaders of the House think
il should be disposed of, and a vote is
probable although there IS much opp0-
sition to action at this session.
