PROGRAMME OF THE HOUSE.
Postohicc Appropriation Bill and a
Virginia Contest to Come Up
80 This Week.

Washington. March 13.-The programme
of the house this week as mapped out
would be completely changed if any move
is made in connection with the Spanish
crisis involving legislative action. But as
at present arranged it includes simply the
consideration of the postoffice appropria-
ton bill and the Virginia contested cleo
ton case of Thorp-Eppes, with the possi-
bility that the naval appropriation bill,
which will be reported on Monday or Tues
day. may be reached at the tail end Of the
week. There will be conflict for prece
dence between the election case and the
postoffice bill, Chairman Walker Of the
elections committee, and Chairman Loud,
of the postoffice committee. each firmly
contesting the right Of way. If Chairman
Walker insists. the contested election case,
being a question of the highest privilege.
would have precedence under the rules. but
the house, by vote. could give the post
office bill precedence. The Democrats In
tend to contest the election case bitterly,
as upon the decision in this case they be-
lieve will depend the fate Of the other two
cases from Virginia, another of which was
reported yesterday against the sitting men,
ber. 1t is expected that the report Of the
committee will also be against Mr.. Swan
son, from the Danville, Va. district.
