In CONGRESS-.
The General Deficiency Bill Likely to
ee Pushed Through the Senate.
The Butler Anti.Bond Bill Wnl Probably
Come to . vote-The ''Filled Cheese"
Bill-slx of the Great Appropfia-
ti0n Bills Are Now Laws.

WASHINGTON, May 2b.-The senate
committee on appropriations is sur
prised at the headway It has been able
to make in the matter of pushing its
bills through the senate. Of the Is
great annual budgets, all have now
passed the senate but the general de-
ficiency bill, and Mr. Hale, in charge
Of that measure, has given notice that
he will call it up Monday. 1t is un.
usual for this bill to be reported
so far in advance of the generally &C
cepted date of adjournment, it being
catch-all for appropriations and de-
ficiencies that can not be got in until
the last minute. Owing to the rapidity
with which this bill has been acted
upon it may become necessary before
adjournment to pass small urgent de-
ficiency measure covering items that
the attention of congress. II 10
expected that an agreement will be
reached that will result in a vote on
the Butler anti-bond bill either Mon.
day or Tuesday. The "flled cheese"
bill which Mr.. Sherman is urging is in
"parlous" shape, owing to numerous
proposed amendments. Now that the
house has acted on the immigration
measures before it, Mr.. Lodge, of Mas
sachusetts, will seek to pass one of the
measures through the senate, SO that
out of the many conflicting plans some
law may be secured that will remedy
what are held to be existing evils in
our present immigration statutes.
Six of the great appropriation bills
are now laws-one, the agricultural,
without the presidents approval. The
Indian bill has been agreed to with the
exception of four items, the most inn
portant of which is that relating to ap-
preparations for sectarian schools. The
final report on the legislative bill was
agreed to by the house Saturday, but
the senate has not acted upon it.
There has been no conference on the
post office bill up to this time. When
that occurs there will undoubtedly be
| a struggle between the two houses on
the question of the subsidies author
lied by the senate. The naval bill has
been agreed to with the exception
of the senate reduction in the
number of battle ships, the
| pTOVlSiouS do W VIC pIiCC W oC pau loi
armor plate and the prohibition Of the
employment by government con.
tractors of Naval officers on leave. II
is thought that the agreement will
finally result in three new battleships
as a compromise between the four au
thorized by the house and the two au-
thorized by the senate.
Another partial report on the sundry
civil bill was agreed to Saturday and
one more conference will doubtless gel
this large budget out of the way. The
District of Columbia and the fortifca'
tions bills are in conference.
The river and harbor bill awaits th'
presidents approval or veto or non
action.
The leaders of the house expec,
that congress will reach a final ad
journment for the session two weeks
from Monday, which will be June 8.
