LAST WEEK a BUSY ONE.
Closing Days Of Congress Filled With
Important Bills.

Closing Days Of Congress Filled With
Important Bills.
Washington, Feb. 26-Aside from ap-
preparation bills and conference reports
the ship subsidy bill is the only meas
ure Of general Importance that is likely
to receive the attention of the house,
and the Aldrich financial bill the only
one that probably will receive the at
tention of the senate during this. the
closing week of the last session of the
59th congress.
1t is Senator Alrdich's purpose to
press his bill for consideration when
ever opportunity offers, and he is still
hopeful of success, Notwithstanding the
opposition, the congested condition Of
business and the limited time left.
The house friends of ship subsidy
also profess themselves as hopeful. but
they admit that every day that goes by
without action lessons their chances.
They will ask to have two or three days
set aside for the consideration of the
subsidy bill when conference reports
are not before the house and the in
clination of the leaders is to grant this
concession.
No other business will be permitted
to interfere with appropriations bills
and conference reports in either house
abut there will be times when other
business may be interjected and much
misc cellaneous legislation may be ex-
pected.
AS usual the senate will make an eff
fort to clean up the calendar and by
the end of the week there will be few
senate measures left to which there Is
not insuperable objection.
All of the appropriations except the
general deficiency have passed the
house, but there are still five of these
measures to receive first consideration
at the hands of the senate. These are
the agricultural bill, which is now un-
der consideration the postoffice bill,
the pension bill, the sundry civil bill.
and the general deficiency bill 1t is
expected that the consideration Of the
agricultural bill will be concluded to-
day and it will be followed by the post
office bill The grazing and forest re-
serve propositions on the agricultural
bill will receive some more attention
and with those matters disposed Of the
senate will take up the Beveridge
amendments regarding meat inspection
and with that out of the way 1t is
hoped that the bill will get thru with
out any further controversy.
Both houses will materially prolong
their sittings. They will begin earlier
