washington, March CIT is probable
that both the bill for the relief of the
survivors and the victims of the Maine
disaster and the senate bill creating
two additional regiments of artillery
with which to man the coast defenses
will pass the house this week. The for
mer bill was held up until 1t could be
investigated, as IL was said that the
special bill for the relief of the surviv-
ors and victims of the Samoan wreck
in 1883 led to some scandal. That bill
was loosely drawn and 1t has been as
serted some advantage of its provis-
ions was taken. The present bill has
been carefully drawn and is one salts
factory to Mr.. Cannon, chairman of the
committee on appropriations. Practic-
ally all opposition to the artillery bill
has now disappeared in the house. The
leaders were, it is said, in favor of de-
laying action upon 1t to allay public
alarm which might have been intensi-
fled had it been rushed through the
house as 1t was through the senate.
Beyond action on these two measures
the house programme this week so far
as is now anticipated Is entirely peace
full and has no reference to possible
foreign complications. Tomorrow is
District of Columbia day and Friday
by special order has been set aside for
the consideration of the Mahon war
claims bill. The Thorp-Epps contested
election case will occupy two, possibly
three days. and such time as remains
will probably be consumed in the con-
sideration of the postoffice appropria-
tion bill, which is expected to be ready
by Wednesday. Any unlocked for de-
val nfaf sxa srI. ,,t
might change the programme.
IN THE SENATE.
The senate will in all probability be-
gin the week with the consideration Of
the bill making appropriations for the
District of Columbia, and when this is
completed take up the conference re-
port on the legislative, executive and
judicial appropriation bill which has
been agreed upon and will be made to
the senate tomorrow. 1t is considered
quite probable that the district bill will
consume two or three days or even
more. One of the questions in this bill
which may arouse debate is the action
of the senate committee on appropria-
tions in striking out the item in the
bill as it came from the house limiting
telephone charges in the district. There
will be an effort to restore this pro-
vision.
The census bill, the Methodist book
agent bill and Senator Pettigrew's bill
donating five per cent. of the proceeds
of sales of public lands to the various
states in which the lands are located
will contend for right of way when
there are no appropriation bill to re-
ceive attention, and it is as yet uncer-
tain which of them will be first taken
up.
All of these may be antagonized by
the Hawaiian annexation treaty, but
the plans of the foreign relations COM
mittee with reference to the treaty are
so far too indefinite to permit any pre-
diction as to what it will do.

From the Washington Post

from the washington Post.
In the Fifty-first congress Major Nc
hlnley was chairman of the ways and
means committee and the floor leader of
the majority. The Mckinley bill was un-
der discussion, and there was an under
standing between Mr.. Reed and Mr.. Nc
Nnley that at o'clock on that day a mo-
tion should be made for the committee
on the whole on the state of the Union
to rise.
Ihe hour of o'clock came and Mr.. Nc
kinley was nowhere in sight, having gone
to the committee room for a brief time
to attend to some other business.

Reed, interrupting the proceedings.

Then, with another hasty glance about
the house, he added, forcibly, in an un-
dertone:
''Where in the ID is the gentleman
from Ohio?"
