Senate Prepares for Adjournment.
The time of the senate the present week
will be devoted wholly to clearing the
which most senators say will occur dur
Ing the present week. There remains only
one appropriation bill to be passed by the
senate, that for the military academy. A
number of the supply bills are still in con-

There also will be some speeches during
the week on the desert land bill, and it is
probable that the conference report on the
canal zone bill will lead to debate.

The Alaska delegate bill is before the
house as a continuing order to be con-
Sidered in the absence of conference re-
ports which are yet to come on the mill
tary academy, the general deficiency and
the sundry civil appropriation bills. There
undoubtedly will be many requests for
consideration of minor matters by unani-
nous consent, and the outlook is declared
by the leaders to indicate an exceedingly
