Legislation Before the House.
Washington, May 27.-The time Of the
Senate during the present week will be
divided largely between the discussion of
the Philippine question and the consid-
GRAFTON of appropriation bills. with a di-
version about the middle of the week on
the Clark case.
Senator Wellington will speak Monday
on the Boer resolution, and he will Do
followed that day or the day following by
Senator Teller on the Philippine question.
Speeches on the Philippines will also be
made by Senators Pettigrew and Turner,
and probably by other senators.
There is apparently no probability Of the
Philippine bill passing, but there is n
general desire on theepart of the opposi-
ton to reply to Senator Spooners speech
before the close of the present session.
The Sundry civil appropriation bill prob
ably Will be considered for two or three
days more, and by the time that is dis
posed of the general deficiency bin will be
ready for consideration. Neither the de-
tctency nor the military academy bill, the
only appropriation bills undisposed of ex-
cept the sundry civil, is expected TO con-
sumo any considerable amount of time.
Date of Adjournment.
The Senate will make an effort to meet
the plans of the House in the matter
of final adjournment on June 6, but there
is a general apprehension among senator's
that the date may be postponed until the
9th or the 18th
In addition to the appropriation bills stin
undisposed of by the Senate. there are
still several appropriation bills in confer
ence, and a disposition is manifested on
the part of the senators, not to name the
date of adjournment until these are well
out of the way.
1t is generally believed that the Montana
senatorial contest will be disposed of when
1t Is brought up by referring It to the
Committee on Privileges and Elections.
and that then nothing more will be heard
of 1t during the present session. The COM
mittee resolution declaring that Senator
Clark's original election was not legal
also bids fair to remain on the calendar.
Week Before the House.
The House leaders are figuring that the
Senate will agree to the House resolution
10 adjourn Wednesday, June 8. 50 that
much business will be crowded into the
coming week
Individual members with beated bills
are pressing for recognition and will Re
given some show. Conference reports On
appropriation bills will have the right of
way. There are half a dozen measures of
public importance pressing. including the
oleomargarine bill, the anti-canteen bi l.
the ST. Louis Fair bill, the Philadelphia
Museum bill, and the antitrust measures
| but the indications are that none of them
save the antitrust bill and resolution will
| be considered. Friday and Saturday are
| to be devoted to their considera tien under
| special rules. The friends of the others,
| however, are active, aggressive and insist
| ent and some of them may be successful
| But the programme of the leaders does
not go much beyond driving through the
| Appropriation bills, the passage of the anti
trust legislation and the cleaning up Of a
| few odds and ends.
