CONGRESSIONAL FORECAST.
The Assembly of the Fifty-fifth
Congress- To-Day.
CONSIDERATION OF THE TARIFF BILL
Debate Is Expected to De Commenced
the Latter Part Of the Week.
Appropriation Hills.

Washington, March 14.--Vice Presi-
dent Hobart will rap the senate TO or
der at noon tomorrow for the beginning
OF the work of the Fifty fifth congress.
The week does not now promise TO be
4 busy one in the senate except in the
event that the arbitration treaty between
this country and Great Britain Is consider
ed. Senator Davis, chairman OF the COM
mittee on foreign relations said today that
he would force the question OF ratification
tc as speedy determination as 1t would be
possible. The treaty will be considered in
executive session. There Will be consider
able opposition to it even in its amended
form, but the friends OF the treaty assert
that there will not be to exceeding twenty
opposing votes when tho final result is an
bounced.
Some nominations are expected on Mon
day and there may be brief executive
session to permit their reference to cora >
mittees. a number of bills majority OF
which will be those which failed in the
last congress. will be introduced during
the week, but as none of them can be taken
UP until they receive committee action
there will be little or no legislative work.
The presidents message IL expected Mon
day.
Considerable time during the week VIII
be spent by the committees of the various
parties in the senate in an effort to reach
harmonious adjustment OF the senate
committees. There is now talk OF an
agreement, to fill all the vacancies except
those existing In the committees on finance
and appropriations. Both these commit
tees are fortunately quite equitably adjust
ed and II Il feared that an effort to supply
the vacancies might result In bad feeling
and an ENHANCEMENT which the republicans
desire to avoid on the eve Of the tariff night.
There is occasional reference to change in
the elective offices at the present time.
1t is expected that the credentials OF
Mossrs, Corbett and Henderson, appoint
ed to I'll senatorial vacancies from Oregon
and Florida respectively will be presented
Monday. They will be referred TO the COM
mittee on privileges and elections.

THE HOUSE.
The Tariff Bill In Ready to he For
mRlIy Reported.

washington. March 1.-THE Fifty-fifth
congress meets in extraordinary session to-
morrow at noon in pursuance OF President
McKinloy's proclamation. The work be-
fore IL. the passage OF a tariff bill, is pref
ty we'll cut out in advance, but the indi-
cations are that 1t will be stormy SEES
sion and its length and scope are as yet
mere matters Of speculation. The present
secretary OF state. Mr.. Sherman, remarked
several years ago on a memorable occasion
In the senate, that the president, like
Aladdin, could rub the lamp and cause the
genii TO appear, but that once they had
appeared they were masters OF their own
destinies So that congress once in session
may 90 much further or not so far as the
president may wish. So far as the house.
which will be organized tomorrow, Is con-
cerned. the present determination of the
leaders is to direct the energies OF the
lower branch to the accomplishment OF
the task before II with all expedition and
throw the responsibility for any compiler
tions which may arise out OF delays in. the
senate upon that body. This was made
manifest by Speaker Reeds speech at the
republican caucus last night when he spoke
OF the necessity Of bringing the work OF
the session to speedy close. whether tue
leaders will emphasize any inaction by the
senate then the bill reaches that body by
programme Of a three days recess re-
mains TO be seen, but 1t seems likely that
tho sneaker will at least refrain from APP
pointing any save the actual committees
necessary for the business In hand. TINS
Will prove an effective bar TO the passage
OF miscellaneous or general bills aE the
rules OF the house are such that all such
Hesitation must come through the agencies
of committees. But even this Is not alb
solutely necessary az the committee on
rules can be invoked to furnish special
orders and II is by means OF special or
