WARRINGTON, March 30.-The pro-
yramme in the senate was to devote
to-day to the settlement of accounts
between Arkansas and the United
States. On Tuesday the post Office APP
oropr;ation bill will be considered and
psssed as soon as possible. The appro-
priations committee hopes to have the
Indian and naval appropriation bills
ready to report by the last of the week.
II there should be any time between
the disposition of the post office, bill
and the reporting of these two bills,
the calendar affords plenty of material
to work upon. Senator Cannon's reso-
luton directing the opening of the I'M
compahgre Indian reservation in Utah,
which created such an animated de-
bate few days since, will become the
unfinished business after the Arkansas
bill. The foreign relations committee
is anxious to get up the bill to prevent
the determination OF Alaskan seals as
soon as possible, and it may be pressed
to the front during the week.
The sundry civil appropriation bill
probably will consume major portion
of the time of the house this week,
and, by many, it is considered doubt
full whether it will have been disposed
of when the house adjourns next Sat-
urday 1t is the intention of Chair
man Hit, of the foreign affairs COM
mittee, to call up the conference re-
port on the Cuban resolutions as soon
as the sundry civil bill is out Of the
way. The leaders of the house are
bending all their efforts to hasten the
appropriation bills in order to effect
an early final adjournment The river
and harbor bill is the next appropria-
ton bill in order after the sundry civil.

quay, 80 hceu, SSt SutiOul, Tvs uuuce
clared, s; total, 34l. The "a remaining
delegates are contested, and the vigor
of Maj. McKinley's campaign may the
better be measured by the statement
hat of the "a contested cases q McKin-
ley delegate is the contestant or the
contestee in 81 of them. If Mckinley
should maintain anything resembling
the present proportion in the elections
to come, his victory is assured.
