LONG PENSION CASE.

Washington, March 23-Chief Justice
Fuller announced today that the pension
case of Judge Long has been restored to
the docket for argument before the full
bench of the supreme court and that It

SENATE FORECAST.

Washington, March 22.-The outlook
as to proceedings in the senate for the
present is not very clear. Nothing is
certain except that Senator Sherman and
others of the supporters of the Cuban
resolutions will attempt to force them
to fnality. Whether they will sue
ceed in this will depend upon various
considerations, the most of which is the
question as to whether the executive,
legislative and judicial appropriation
shall be passed in advance of the Cuban
debate by the committee on appropria-
tions. 1t is confidently expected that
the executive bill will be disposed of
during the week, so as to have it out of
the way of the postotlice bill, which is
to be the next appropriation bill report
ed. There will probably be two or
three days of debate on this bill.
Senator Sherman hopes to continue the
consideration of the Cuban question until
it shall be concluded. He says he
thinks it can be disposed of by Tuesday
and that he probably will on Monday
ask the senate to sit at night until the
vote can be reached.
Senator Hale says, however, that he
does not fear night sessions and that he
has no purpose of prolonging the debate
for the purpose of delay.
Among those who still desire to speak
are Senators White, Villas, Palmer,
Platt and Turpie.
Senator Mills may also be heard on
the pro-Cuban side of the question.

IMPORTANT CLAUSE OMITTED

IMPORTANT CLAUSE OMITTED.
Washington March 23.-Ambassador
Bayard will not receive any official news
of the censure passed upon him by the
house last week unless Secretary Olney
should decide to bring the matter to his
attention, which members consider i'm
probable. There is no provision contained
in the resolutions for bringing them to
the ambassadors attention. Communica-
tons with members of the diplomatic
service are made through the state de-
partment and clause might have been
attached to the resolution requiring the
president or the secretary of state to
transmit them to the ambassador, but
this was not done. 1t is unlikely, there
fore, that the ambassador will make any
reply to the censure officially members be
lieve, although, of course, if he cares to
do so, he can deal with the matter in his
official correspondence.

HOUSE FORECAST.

Washington, March 22.-No definite
program has been arranged for the
house this week.
The naval appropriation bill, which is
next to be taken up, has not yet been
reported to the house and until it is that
body will drift along occupying itself
with such minor matters as may be
called up by the committees. 1t is
thought, however. that the naval bill
will be reported on Tuesday or Wednes-
day at the farthest. The public lands
committee has several minor bills which
can be called up, as has also the judi
ciary, foreign affairs and banking and
currency. The most important of the
latter is the bill permitting National
banks to take out circulation to the par
value of their bonds.

LEAVES OF ABSENCE RESUMED

Washington, March 23.-The secretary
of the treasury after consultation with
the president and the law officers of the
government has decided hereafter to al
low the annual leaves of absence to em-
ployes of the department outside of Wash
ington. Some months ago the secretary.'s
authority to grant leaves of absence in
the absence of specific legislation on the
subject was brought in question and his
present action is final settlement OF the
matter.

"It is for the purpose OF insuring a
steady and uniform commerce from
Kansas grain fields to the Gulf that the
Galveston people propose the project
described in another page of today's
Capital. They propose to build an ele-

million TO a million bushels OF grain at
