FORECAST OF WEEKS NEWS Vote on Sea Level Gnal
 Bill. ss THURSDAY wHksE THE DAY Senator Knox Will Speak Monday
 or Tuesday. House VIII Talk Politics When Pure 3 Food Bill is Taken Up--Cor-
 onasion of Hoaixin
 of Norway.

In preparation for the vote on the sea level Panama Canal bill, which is will devote much of the time this week prior to that date. to the consideration of the bill.
 Senator Knox is scheduled for a speech Monday or Tuesday in supper: of d lock canal. and he will be fol- lowed by other Senators for and against the bill as 1t stands. The adoption of provision in the sundry civil appro- priation bill by the House in opposition to the sea level type of canal has had the effect of stimulating interest in the Senate and it is probable that this pro- vision will itself be made the subject of discussion. The Senate agreement calls for final vote on the bill before ad- journment on Thursday and for begin ming the vote on amendments at 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 conference report on the agricultural appropriation bill, the former contain ing the House prohibition against the expenditure of money for a sea level canal and the latter the meat inspection provision. Both measures are attract ing much attention from Senators, but there will be an effort to hold debate down to the minimum dimensions with the hope of preventing the too great postponement of the day of the final adjournment of the session, which the Senate leaders are still hopeful of bringing within tho present month.
 It Is therefore probable that matters will receive more attention in commit tee rooms than on the floor of the Sem ate. Neither bill will be considered un- til the Panama bill Is disposed of, and 1t is doubtful whether the sundry civil bill can be prepared for consideration during the present week
 Local Caiander Large.
 The Senate calendar of bills of To- cal character has grown to large di- mensions during the past few weeks and as much time as possible will be devoted to 1t. The Lake Erie and Ohio ship canal bill will also continue to re- eeive attention.
 There is to be more speed in the legisLation of the National House of Representatives this week than in any week during the session if the plans of the leaders determined upon Satur- day are carried out The program con- templates the passage of the meat in- spection amendment to the agricultur- al appropriation bill and the sending of that measure to conference; the pass age of the pure food bill under a spe- cial rule and the passage of the immi- grafton bill, also under special rule.
 The last day of the session on which the rules may be suspended and bills passed by two-thirds vote will occur Monday and the speakers private list of members 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 oE- der.
 The meat inspection amendment will be called up Tuesday and disposed of with as great despatch as possible The time to be spent on it is estimated at two days. Debate on this bill will be confined to the discussion of var ious provisions of the measure and pro- posed amendments thereto.
 Pure Food Debate.
 The pure food debate will be some what political In its nature. For sev- eral weeks members who have applied for time to make tarin speeches and to discuss politics generally have been told to wait until the pure food bill came up The passage of this bill be- fore the adjournment of the session was planned some time ago by Speaker Cannon and Chairman Hepburn of the Interstate and Foreign Commerce Com mittee and it was decided then to mako 1t the vehicle for the closing political speeches of the session.
 The immigration bill, which is Q close the weeks work, will be given the consideration which the time per mits. In order to finish the program the leaders have set for the House may require the body to sit during the evening as well as carrying out the special order for Il o'clock sessions to- day.
 
 the general defciency bill will not en- ter into the legislative consideration this week. The pubic building bill is to be one of the last taken up at this session. So many members are inter ested in this bill and therefore remain at the capital while 1t is pending that putting the bill last on the program makes t easier to maintain a quorum of the House during the wind-up of the session. when the presence of mem bers is needed to prevent useless de- lays.
 The Interstate Commerce Commission on Thursday June 21 will be in ses- sion in Washington, and will be ready at that time to hear the presidents of the railroad companies on which testi- mony has been taken recently. The presidents who have been notified that the Commission will hear them are A. J. Cassatt, Pennsylvania, Oscar G. Mur- ray, Baltimore and Ohio; George w Stevens, Chesapeake and Ohio: L. E. Johnson, Norfolk and Western. and W. H Newman. New York Central.
