Action of the House Has Stirred Up the
 Sea Level Senators
Upper House Anxious to Hasten Adjournment-Lovver House Has Much Business Before It and Will Work Early and Late.

Washington, June 11.-In preparation Tor the vote on the sea-Ievel Panama canal bill, which is fixed for next Thursday, the senate will devote much of the time this week, prior to that date. to consideration of the bill. Sen ator Knox is scheduled for a speech Monday or Tuesday in support of a lock canal. and he will be followed by other senators for and against the bill as 1t stands The adoption of a pro- vision in the sundry civil appropria- tion bill, by the house, in opposition to the sea-level type of canal has had the effect of stimulating interest in the sen- ate. and it is pribable this provision will be made the subject of discussion The senate agreement calls for a final vote on the bill before adjournment Thursday and for beginning the vote on the amendments at 3 o'clock on that day.
 It is possible that late in the week the senate may be able to take up the Sundry civil appropriation bill or the consular service appropriation bill. the former containing the house provision against the expenditure of money for Sea-level canal, and the latter, the meat inspection provision. Both measures are attracting much attention from senators, but there will be an effort to hold the debate down to minimum di- menSlons, with the hope of preventing too great postponement of the final adjournment of the session. which the senate leaders are still hopeful of bringing about within the present months. It is therefore probable these matters will receive more attention in committee rooms than on the floor of the senate. Neither bill will be con sidered until the Panama bill is dis posed of. and it is doubtful whether the sundry civil bill can be prepared Tor consideration during the present week.
 The senate calendar of bills of a To- cal character has grown large in di- mensions during the past few weeks. and as much time as possible will be devoted to it.
 THE HOUSE.
 There is to be more speed in the leg lslation of the national house of rep resentatives this week than any week during the session if the plans of the leaders determined on Saturday are carried out The program contemplates the passage of a meat inspection amendment to the agricultural appro- priation bill and the sending of that measure to conference: the passage of the pure-food bill under a special rule and the passage of the immigration bllI. also under q special rule.
 The last day of the session on which the rules may be suspended and bills De passed by a two-thirds vote. will occur Monday, and the speakers pri- Vate list, to be recognized under this order, is rapidly growing to large pro- portions. Many bills. local in their ap- plication, will be passed under this order.
 The meat inspection bill will be called up Tuesday and disposed of with as great dispatch as possible. The time 10 be spent on it is estimated at two days. Debate on this bill will be con med to discussion of the various provisions of the measure and proposed amendments thereto
 The pure food debate will be some what political in it's nature. For sev-
