FROM WASHINGTON.
Correspondence Of the Alexandria Gazette,

Washington, January 10.
Appropriation bills will occupy the
time Of the Senate next week, together
with an occasional speech on the ship
subsidy bill. The legislative, executive
and judicial appropriation bill be taken
up Monday. Usually this measure is not
provocative Of debate. Senator Petit
grew, however, says it will take three
or four days to pass it. He has a six
hour speech in his desk which he did
not have to use on the army bill, and
other Senators are equally well pro-
yided. This is ammunition against the
subsidy, and part of 1t, Pettigrew says,
will be judlcislly expended during the
first few days of the week. The mill
tary academy and the Indian appropris-
ton bills are the other measures book.
ed for consideration during the week.
The District OF Columbia sppropria-
ton bill will engage the attention OF the
House next Monday and Tuesday. The
latter part OF the week will be given to
the naval appropriation bill, which is
sure to arouse much debate on the
question of the price of armor and the
extent of the proposed increase in the
navy. The ola fight between the Navy
department and the coast and geodetic
survey over the question as to which
bureau should make the surveys OF our
outlying iDsular possessions will also be
renewed on this measure.
The Senate finance committee will
hear Senators and Representative from
the tobacco States this afternoon on
the question of the reduction of the tax
on tobacco. The republican members
of the committee have already reached
an agreement as to the character OF the
bill which will be reported to the Sem
ate. 1t will provide for q so per cent.
reduction all along the line. The tax
on telegraph messages and express
packages will be reduced to half cent
with proyiso that the companies must
pay the tax. The tax Oh tobacco, which
is now II cents per pound, ia to be re-
duced to nine cents. That on bank
checks is to be made one cent to be paid
by the person drawing the check, the
banks paying the tax on certificates.
The taxes on brokers, etc., are to b, re-
duced one'half. The total effect of the
bill is to reduce the revenues by about
fifty million dollars.
The President is better this morning
than he has been since his illness be.
