56th CONGRESS.
Expected Adjournment Brings
Crush of Business.
The Senate May Force Postponement
Till June 9 or II.
House in Particular tho Scene Of Urgent re.
quests for Recognition.

Washington, May 27.-The time of
the Senate during the present week VIII
be divided largely between the dis
cussion of the Philippine question and
the consideration of appropriation bills
with a diversion about the middle Of
the week in the Clark case.
Senator Wellington will speak, Mon
day, on the Boer resolution and he will
lowing, by Senator Teller on the Phil
ippine question. Speeches on the Phil
ippincs will also be made by Senators
Pettigrew and Turner and probably by
other senators. There is apparently no
probability of the Philippine bill pass
ing but there is general desire on the
part of the opposition to reply TO Sen
ator Spooner's speech before the close
of the present session.
The sundry civil appropriation bill
probably will be considered for two or
three days more by the time it is dis
posed of the general deficiency bin
will be ready for consideration. Neither
the deficiency nor the military academy
bin, the only appropriation bills undis-
posed of except the sundry civil. is ex-
amount of time.
The Senate will make an effort to
meet the plans of the House in the
matter Of final adjournment, June 6,
but there is a general apprehension
among senators that the day may be
postponed until, June or IL. In addi-
ton to the appropriation bills still I'M
disposed of by the Senate there are
still several appropriation bills in con-
ference and q disposition is manifested
on the part OF the senators not to name
the date Of adjournment until these are
we'll out of the way. 1t is generally
believed that the Montana senatorial
contest will be disposed of when ii is
brought up by referring it to the COM
mittee ON privileges and elections and
that then nothing more will be heard
of it during the present session. The
Senator Clark's original election was
not legal also bids fair to remain on the
calendar.
The House leaders are figuring that
the Senate will agree to the House res
olution to adjourn, Wednesday, June 6,
so that such business will be crowded
into the coming week. Individual mem
bers with belated bills are pressing for
recognition and will be given some
show Conference reports on approp.i-
alton bills will have the right of way.
There are half a dozen measures Of
public importance pressing. including
the oleomargarine bill, the anti-can-
teen bill, the St. Louis fair bill, the
Philadelphia Museum bill and the anti
trust measures. but the indications are
that none Of them save the antitrust
bill and the resolution will be consid-
cred. Friday and Saturday are to be
devoted to their consideration under
special rules The friends of the others.
however, are active, aggressive and in
sistent and some of them may be sue
cessful.
But the program Of the leaders does
not 20 much beyond driving through
the appropriation bills. the passage q
the antitrust legislation and the clean
ing up of a few odds and ends.

BAPTIST MISSIONARY WORK.
Expansion Sentiment Appears and Senator
Hoar Hea,s OF an Old Speech.

Detroit, Mich, May 27.-Expansion
sentiment was rife at the missionary
mass meeting held tonight, as one Of
the features Of the American Baptist
missionary anniversaries. DR.. Way
land Hoyt of Philadelphia, began his
address on the subject Of denJmina-
tional expansion in relation to the
work Of the Baptist Publication Soci-
ETY., by quoting from a speech delivered
by Senator Hoar at children's day
celebration in Massachusetts, five
years ago, at which time the anti-im-
pcrialist statesman is reported to have
said that the tree of liberty and self
government set by the fathers of the
republic. having spread across the CON
tinent, its roots would lin good time
thrust themselves beneath the waves
and spread to the isles Of the sea
This prediction" said DR.. Hoyt,
came through more quickly than the
distinguished senator anticipated and
evidently more quickly than he desired.
If 1t is true that he made this eIO-
quent and logical statement in 1895. a
hundred anti-expansion speeches made
i'll 1900 could not effacc the effect Of
that truthful prediction"
Or. Hoyt argues cloqucntly for ex-
pansion in missionary effort. keeping
pace at least with the progress Of the
American flag.
Madison 6. Peters, d. D.. Of New
York. also argued strongly on political
ana religious expansion in his address
concerning expansion Of the work Of
the Baptist Home Mission Society.
Rev. Thomas Il. Savers. Phi. D., Of
Illinois spoke along similar lines in re
lltion to the work Of the Baptist Mis-
sionary GOrcign) Union.
