Congress Proposes to Rush business
Through.
WAsHINGFeN, Feb. 25.-The house is
pushing ahead the appropriation bills
with all possible speed. with q view to
an carly final adjournment. Already
five of the thirteen general a]ppropria-
ton bills have been sent to the senate

ficiency, diplomatic and consular, and
agricultural. The District of Columbia
bill has in it several disputed items, but
will, it is believed, cause little trouble
when it is again brought into the
house. The Indian bill is now under
consideration. and the legislative, ex-
ecutive and judicial, the next in order,
is on the calendar. The naval and
postoffice bills

When these are disposed Of, but three
will remain-the sundry civil. general

house leaders are still hopeful that
some way q be found to secure &C.
ton on the tariff bill in the senate but
beyond that there appears to be little
chance for general legislation, except,
perhaps, a bankruptcy, and possibly. q
Pacific railroad bill. Consequently
they are hurrying along the a%ppropria-
ton bills and shaping things for an
early adjournment.

priation committee, says that sine de
