 Coming Week

 tory of the Event.

Senator Hale, who in the absence of Senator Allison, is acting chairman of the Senate committee on appropria- tions, expresses confidence in the final ad- journment of Congress before the close of the present week. His programme will be to urge the consideration of appro- priation bills and conference reports to the exclusion of practically all other mat ters, and with the supply bills finally passed there is no measure unless it be the railroad rate bill that can hold Con gress together. The Maine senator is of the opinion that the work can all be concluded by Friday, but says that in no event will it go bsyond Saturday.
 The only two appropriations which have not passed the Senate the gen eral deficiency bill and the omnibus pub lie building bill but the sundry civil the naval and the agricultural bill are still in conference.

 Night sessions are probable towards the last of the week. and every effort is to be made to finish the business of the session in the House of Representa- tves this week. Contrary to the usual practice the adjournment resolution is not to be introduced until legislative bus mess is in such shape that it can be blocked by the single-hand opposition of any member of either body. and par ticularly the Senate.
 Appropriation Bills in House.
