LARGELY the line Of procedure for the re-
ynsindsr Of the week. Senator Pettigrew.
who u in charge OF the Indian appropriA-
ffon bill, which has been only pariaiiy
considered, viii make IN effort to get the
bill I'D after the disposition OF the routine
business Of the morning hour. and II OBJ
lection II made will ask that the senate
decide by vote whether to proceed with
the Indian bill. He says the bill already
has been held back q week for the accom-
mediation OF other measures. and that No
win not consent to further postponement
except upon the order OF the senate Itself
Other members Of the committee are dis
posed to take the same position ana 10
urge that nothing shall stand In the way
of the appropriation bills for the present.
Senator PETER In anxious not TO antago-
nize the appropriation bills. but he thinks
the debate on the bond investigation reso-
luton could be concluded In another day
or two. He has not yet decided whether
he will yield to the entreaties of the APP
preparations committee or allow the ques-
ton to go TO q vote upon It's being reached.
ana Is OF the opinion tDat AFTER Senatof
Hill concludes his speech there will be no
great prolongation Of the debate He says
the friends OF the resolution are no; DIS
posed TO spend any time in making speech
es on 1t. 1t Ii probable. therefore. that
he will make plea TO be given another
day or two on the resolution to allow Sen
ator Hill to conclude and that. falling IN
this. he will yield upon consideration that
the resolution shall be allowed to retain
its place as The unfinished business and
upon receiving some assurance OF further
consideration.
There are at least two or three days more
OF work on the Indian appropriation bill
The question OF the abolition of sectarian
schools will stiii call out considerable de-
bate. Senator Plat will offer as an amend
ment to the bill the plan agreed
upon by the committee on Indian
affairs for general settlement OF
affairs in the Indian territory, and
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 tho
naval appropriation bin and that OF the
sundry civil appropriation bill. though
neither may be reached this week. The
latter has not been reported to the senate.
but will be during the week.
There is apparently a growing DISPOSE
tion upon the part OF some OF the Demo-
cratic leaders 10 prolong the session to .
more distant day than has been counted
on for final adjournment. and 1t Is their
tactics during the week which will de-
vslop to some extent whether this il true.
