WASHINGTON LETTER,
1rrom our Regular Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2o-To thosa
unacauainted with Congressional
methods, the present condition OF
business in both House and Senate
would seem to make an extra session
inevitable. But there is still chance
of escaping it, although it is slim one.
Congress can do an enormous amount
of work in two weeks, when the con-
ditions arc favorable. There are
others, but the principal stumbling
block is the Hull army bill, which Is
now before the Senate. If the sup
porters and opponents Of that bill re-
tain their present attitude, the bill Is
bound TO fail, and the President has
repeatedly said that lie would at once
call an extra session lift failed. Con-
servative Senators are trying to ar
range some sort of a compromise that
can be accepted without loss OF digni-
tv by both sides. They belleYe that
if they can get a compromise bill
through Mr.. Mckinley will, owing to
his known repugnance 10 an extra
session, be willing to take less than
he asked for rather than to veto the
bill and call an extra session.
The Military Court of Inquiry to
investigate the beef scandal will be-
gin the taking oftestimony thi'week.
The list of Witnesses is long one, and
it will probsbly be month or so be
fore the investigation is concluded.
Ruling out the Appropriation to
pay Spain S2O,OOO,OOO, as part Of
the Sundry Civil Bill, on point of
order, had no special meaning and
will not prevent that appropriation
being made. Two bills for that pur-
pose have already been introduced,
one by Chairman Cannon, of the Ap-
proprlations Committee, which Is the
one that will pass, as brief as it could
possibly be made, and another by
Representative Oillctt Of Mass, which
after providing for the Appropriation,
adds as a second section the McEnery
resolution. which was adopted by the
Senate last week.
Speaker Reed is credited with hay
ING Knocked out the Nicaragua Ca
nal bill, when it was offered in tie
House as an amendment to the Sun
drv Civil bill, and shut out on point
Of order, bnt the Senators who favor
the Canal have fixed upa little game
that Mr.. Reed will not find 1t easy TO
beat. They have had the bill added
to the River and Harbor bill, by the
Senate Committee on Commerce, rs
an amendment, which places it away
beyond the reach of points Of order
in the House. That the amended
bill will pass the Senate is certain.
Then the House can either vote to
accept the Senate amendments IN
Guiding the Canal legislation, or ask
for conference. In either event
there seems no chance for Mr.. Reed
to kill the Canal legislation without
killing the entire River and Harbor
bill, and he Is too wise a man to at
tempt to do what he knows would be
more apt to bring failure than success.
The friends of the Canal are more
hopeful now than they have been at
any time during the session that the
necessary legislation will be secured,
although there are many Guaking
knees in the House for fear that the
Canal amendment may result in kill
ing the whole River and Harbor

much pain from it during the last
