The senate. Preatcnment.

Less than week now remains of the
legislative life of the present Congress
and the amount of work yet to be done by
the Senate on the regular money bills is
altogether unprecedented. The main OBJ
stacle in the way of a prompt following
of the ordinary routine in dealing with
these bills has been the arbitration treaty,
which has occupied many hours and has
effectually blocked all progress on the ap-
propriations. But even when the Senate
got TO work again on the money bills
serious difficulty was encountered in the
form of stubborn opposition to certain
provisions Of the Indian appropriations,
and now. within a week Of the final ad-
joGrnment. there are no less than six of
the most important budgets awaiting con-
sideration by the upper house. The Dis
trict bill. it is announced, will follow the
1ndian bill. but something more than a
cursory examination of it by the Senate
is certain to be had in view of the antag
onis ms that have been created by the eiec
trio light controversy. and unless all In
die ations fail the bill cannot well reach
the conferees until next Monday, If then.
Then will come the naval. sundry civil,
Notifications. pest Office and general de-
hCiency bills. These measures themselves
contain ma terial enough for at least three
weeks of debate and careful consideration
under ordinary circumstances. but not
much more than the same number of days
can ne devoted to them now that the Sen
ate is working on such short commons
In view of these facts the last week of the
life of the Fifty-fourth Congress will
doubtless prove one of the most active
and interesting ever known in the history
of the national legislature.

payment of less than half of the amount of

result of the Commissioners neglect to put
an end to the controversy by Offering the
contractor the exact amount equitably due
him on the river-disposaI basis and insist

The policy of procrastination weakened
them and strengthened the contractor who
had learned by experience the profits of

is that the payment for past service shall
be OH the original cremation SCALE minus
only the cost of the extra inspection made

amounts to concession of the right of
