SENATORS EXPECT A BUSY WEEK.

If They Arc Unable To Agree on Tariff
May Adjourn by the First of June-The
Contested Election Cases.
WAsHNGTON, Feb 17-Most Of the time
of the house this week will be taken up
with the consideration of appropriation
bills The agricultural bill should be dis
posed of today unless prolonged debate
should be precipitated on the question of
seed distribution by the agricultural de
partmcnt. The Indian and army appro-
priation bills are ready and the appropria-
tions committee expects to have the ex-
ecutive legislative and judicial bill re-
ported by Wednesday.
The foreign affairs committee will call
up the resolution to censure Ambassador
Bayard as soon as those in charge of the
appropriation bills afford an opportunity
to do So The foreign affairs committee is
also working on Cuban resolution, and
it may possibly be reported to the house
this week. The trend of opinion in the
committee favors a resolution expressing
it as the sense of congress that state of
war exists in Cuba, and requesting the
president to issue his proclamation recog-
nizing the insurgents as belligerents.
The report of the contested election case
of Van Horn VS.. Tarsney from the Fifth
Missouri district can be called up at any
time The report is in favor of the con-
testant, but a minority report will be filed
tomorrow recommending that the case be
recommitted and the testimony reopened.
