Congressional FORECAST
The Senate Will Struggle With
Appropriations
THE BOND INVESTIGATION
viii Make a Fight for Right-of.
Way
In the House There 10 no Program Set, and
the Hembers VIII Struggle
for Precedence

WASHINGTON, April 19.-The pro-
ceedings in the senate tomorrow Will
probably open with a contest for right
of way between the appropriations
committee and the friends of the PETER
measure for an investigation of recent
bond sales and upon the result of this
will depend largely the line of procedure
for the remainder of the. week.
Senator Pettigrew. who is in charge
of the Indian appropriation bill, which
has been only partially considered, will
make an effort to get the bill up i'm
mediately after the disposal of the rou-
tine business of the morning hour, and
If objection is made will ask that the
senate decide by vote whether to pro-
ceed with the Indian bill. He says the
bill already has been held back a week
for the accommodation of other meas
ures and that he will not consent to
further postponement except upon the
order of the senate itself. Other MEM
bers of the committee are disposed to
take the same position and to urge that
nothing shall stand in the way of the
appropriation bills for the present.
Senator PETER is anxious not to an
tagonize the appropriation bills, but
he thinks the debate on the bond inves-
tigation resolution could be concluded
in another day or two. He has not yet
decided whether he will yield to the en-
treaties of the appropriations commit
tee or allow the question to go to vote
upon it's being reached, and is of the
opinion that after Senator Hill con-
cludes his speech there will be no great
prolongation of the debate. He says the
friends of the resolution are not dis
posed to spend any time in making
speeches on it. 1t is probable, there
fore, that he will make plea to be
given another day or two to allow SEN
ator Hill to conclude. and that. failing
in this, he will yield upon consideration
that the bill shall be allowed to retain
it's place as the unfinished business and
upon receiving some assurance or 1ur-
ther consideration.
There are at least two or three days
more of work on the Indian appropria-
ton bill. The question of the abolition
of sectarian schools will still call out
considerable debate. Senator Platt Will
offer as an amendment to the bill the
plan agreed upon by the committee on
Indian affairs for a general settlement
of affairs in the Indian territory, ana
this will develop discussion, as will also
the provisions for the settlement OF the
Cherokee old settlers and in regard to
the freedmen of the territory.
The Indian bill will be followed by the
naval appropriation bill, and that by
the sundry civil appropriation bill,
though neither may be reached this
week. The latter has not yet been re-
ported to the senate, but will be during
the week
There is apparently growing dispo-
sition upon the part of some of the
Democratic leaders to prolong the ses-
| sion to q more distant day than has been
counted on for final adjournment, and
| it is their tactics during the week which
| will develop to some extent whether
| this is true.

THE RING

Sailor Sharlsey apparently did not
get all he wanted from the fists of Joe
Choynski the other night in San Fran
cisco, for he is out with another chal-
lenge. Tom now says that he can
whip Choynski in a finish fight on
the other hand Choynski's friends ara
satisfied that but for Sharkeys foul
blow in the first round on Thursday
night Joe would have finished off the
sailor in less than five rounds. Choyn-
ski will probably take no notice of the
sailors EARNING. He will remain in
San Francisco couple of months and
needs a rest.
Professor William Manning has not
been doing so much talking lately since
Billy Gallagher offered to deposit 500
with the Herald that he could knock the
doctor out of physical culture in eight
rounds.
Griffo seems to have entirely lacked

The Southern California Kennel club
holds its eighth annual bench show this
week, opening on Tuesday and closing
On Friday. The show promises to be
thoroughly representative, for there are
over 200 entries, a large increase on last
years competitors. The presence in
the city of j. Otis Fellowes, popularity
known as Uncle Dick" of New York,
q we'll known authority on the canine
race, lends additional interest, ana he
will judge all classes. The valuable list
Of prizes offered by the Pacific Coast
Fox Terrier club, and also some special
prizes offered by President Sumner,
have drawn an unusually large list of
entries in this class. Settlers, pointers,
mastiffs, Great Danes and st. Bernards
are all well represented, and many OF
the finest dogs of these classes in the
state will be seen. George T. Allender
of San Francisco will be on hand with
= good string.
The catalogue for the bench show.
: which opens tomorrow morning IN the
/ Newell & Cannon block, on Broad
way, between First and Second, is now
in the hands of the binder and will be
ready today. An examination of proof
sheets shows that there will be just 21a
CANNES on exhibition, although the en-
tries number about 225. The apparent
discrepancy is due to one dog being en-
tered in several classes, such as the
puppy and the open. All animals must
be on hand for benching not later than
~ noon on Tuesday, as judging will be-
gin promptly at o'clock.
A large list of entries ensures the sue
cess of the La Fiesta games on Thurs
day next at the Athletic park. The pro-

to prove attractive to all sorts and con-
ditiOns of both men and women. There
will not only be interesting bicycle and
foot races, but the Indians will show
their speed, burros will try for a record
and 800 marines from the flagship Phil
adelphia will go through their shore
drill. There will also be a competitive
drill by four companies of the Seventh
regiment. Humorous features to the
games will not be missing, for there is
to be a creased pole competition and a
contest among those with the most
tenacious grasp of creased pigs. The
games will be under the patronage of
the queen of the Fiesta.
The vaudeville show to be given this
evening by the Athletic club at the
Los Angeles theater promises to draw
a bumper house. A very attractive
program has been prepared, including
boxing, fencing, westling, tumbling ant
feats of strength. The songsters o
the club as well as the strong men
will give a taste of their talent.

The Sullivan starting machine is to

If the machine is a success at Bennings

The veteran writer on trotting horse

would produce a thoroughbred who
could perform at the lateral gait. Mr..
Wallace still has his 800. There are
many PAGERS with a large infusion OF
thoroughbred blood, but no PAGER has
yet been discovered of uncontaminated
thoroughbred blood. Mr. Wallace is
now out with another reward, which is
distinctly aimed at his old army of an
tagonists who believe in lots of thor
oughbred blood in trotting stock. He
offers a reward of 500 to any person
who will produce strictly thorough
bred that has made a trotting record
of 300 or better within the past fifteen
years. 1t is not necessary to produce
the horse. All that is required is to prove
the performance and the pedigree. This
