THE end is NEAR.
LAST FULL WEEK OF CONGRESS
BEGINS TODAY.
THE HOUSE FULLY Up TODATE.
Little Remains to be Done, Except to
Pass the Appropriation
Bills.

Washington, Feb. 23-The house
enters the last full week of the SEES
sion with the docket practically clear
ed Of everything except appropriation
bills. Only one Of these, the general
deficiency, which was reported yester-
day, remains TO be passed. Several in
teresting contests are expected dur
ing the consideration of the questions
of adjusting the differences between
the two houses on a number of bills in
conference. Especially spirited Will
be the fight over the proposition to ac-
cept statehood amendment if one
should come to the house as a rider
on an appropriation bill 1t would
command the solid support of the dem
ocratic side, and it is believed enough
republicans to accept it, although it
would be resisted by the republican
leaders The Philippine currency bill
has been set for Tuesday The sus-
pension day which under the rules be,
gin Wednesday, and by means Of the
parliamentary expedition OF making
motions under suspension of the rules
parliamentary knots can be cut and
legislation expedited
The Fowler currency bill Will CON
tlnue to be the stopgap whenever 9TH
er matters are not pressing but there
seems no prospect of its passage.
There is an intimation, however, that
it might serve useful purpose in
case the Aidrich deposit bill should
come over from the senate 1t is said
that the latter bill could be substitute
ed for the former without going to
committee, either by striking out all
after the enacting clause of the Fow-
Ter bill or through the operations Of
special rule. II neither of these
courses were adopted the bill would
be referred to the ways and means
committee. which could report It
forthwith The reference to the ways
and means committee can be made on
the ground that It provides for inter
est on government deposits in nation
al banks and to that extent is a rev
enue measure

similar to those adopted in the United
