HOUSE LIKELY TO PUSH BUSINESS.
Appropriations Have the Right-of-W
and Two of Them Are Ready.


The opening week promises to see the
house put it's shoulder to the wheel Of
the regular appropriation bills. Chair
man Cannon and the committee en- ap-
preparations were at work all last week,
and il is their eanest intention TO pass
two and possible three Of the bills be-
fore the Christmas holidays The pen
sion and legislative appropriation bills
are about ready. and work on one or
the other of these will be begun in the
house before the week closes. The pen
sion bill, although IL carries a larger
amount Of money than any of the 9TH
er supply bills, is very brief. and unless
some political discussion is precipitated
is not likely 10 consume much time in
it's consideration. Beyond these two
bills nothing is In sight at present. IL
is, OF course. not unlikely that the COM
mittee on rules will provide something
for the house to do in case the commit
tee on appropriations is not prepared to
go ahead with either of these appro-
priation bills.
The course OF the legislation, so far as
the important measures on the calen-
dar is concerned (like the Pacific rail-
road funding BILL the Nicaragua canal
bill, etc.), will be determined entirely
by the rules committee. But IL is safe
TO assume that nothing will be allowed
&c block the appropriation bills as they
are reported for action. They always
have the-right-of-way at the short ses-
sion. Today will probably be devoted
entirely to the reading of the presi-
dents message.
