N THE SENATE.
rba Dresant week in the Senate will
M givsr almost entirely to the continu-
ar;oa Of the debate on the war revenue
fiY and many of the best informed
Senator's express the opinion that the
consideration Of the bill will be con-
cluded before the end of the week. SEN
a-or Aldrich. said to-day that the bill
von,d be a law before next Saturday.
Very few other Senator's take 50 hope
mi view. and most Republicans con-
fass that they will be abundantly salts
fed If the Senate concludes its work
OF the measure by next Saturday.
while the consideration Of the bill eX-
cent as 10 objected features has been
completed, there is still much TO be
done before the bill can be said to be
ccm9lated. The items which have been
passed over are those which it was ex-
Dectel from the beginning would con-
sume the
GREATEST AMOUNT OF TIME.
These include the corporation tax pro-
vision. he inheritance tax, the seign-
forage and greenback amendments, and
also others Of more or less importance
Involved III the discussion OF the green
back and seigniorage amendments will
be The Republican proposition TO restore
lie bond provision, and there can be no
d9l5t that this question will give rise
to discussion that will cover consider
abe time, probably two or three days
q. least. There is, however, no appar-
el- d5sire ON the part Of the opponents
OF bonds to consume more time than is
necessary TO the proper presentation of
Ilsir views. II Senator Plat, of New
York, insists upon pressing his amend
melt for the refunding Of the outstand-
ing greenbacks it will result in an eX-
tt1sion of the debate to an
ALMOST UNLIMITED EXTENT.
This would open up the entire financial
C1astion, and probably would cause the
silver element in the Senate TO even
"sort to filibustering to prevent its
passage.
Upon the whole, the chances are
equal that the bill will be disposed OF
during the week.
There is more or less talk in the Sen
ala about the final adjournment of Con-
g-5ss, but opinions differ very materi-
ally as to the time it will occur. SEN
aio7 Hale expressed the opinion to-day
iaat il might be reached in three weeks.
V1i.e Senator Teller put it at six
weeks.
N.-n the war revenue bill out of the
"aE and appropriation for the conduct
q t4e war there will be little incentive
70 remain unless it should by that time
uee9me apparent that the war is draw
I43 % a close. In that event some Sen
a-4.s express the desire that Congress
s-ota be in session in order that the
S5---e might have an opportunity TO
l-ss upon any treaty of peace that
a--sAl be negotiated. 1t does not now
a..ea1 probable, however, that Con-
tfs would remain here any great
"a or Tine merely for that purpose.
