Much Work Ahead.

On a conservative estimate, it will re-
quire thirty-three more full legislative
days to put through the House the re-
naming appropriation bills. This is fig
uring on the minimum of two days for
the rivers and harbors bill, which will
be taken up Monday; two days for the
pension bill, although the fight against
the abolition of the seventeen outside
agencies may string this out still longer,
two days for the Indian bill; six days for
the legislative bill; seven days for the
post once Appropriation bill: seven days
Tor the sundry civil bill, and seven days
for the naval bill. AT this rate the House
Will not get through with the last OF
the appropriation bills for nearly four

account of the administration measures
upon which there will undoubtedly be
prolonged debate.
This means that it is question of dis
pensing with the amended rules, the re-

Believes Committee on Agriculture
Will Make Favorable Report
Within Three Weeks.

Representative Scott of Kansas, chair
man of the House committee on agricul-
ture. said yesterday that he believed his
committee would report favorably to the
House within three weeks a bill to pro-
hibit gambling in cotton and grain flu
lures and other agricultural products.
The committee has been giving hearings
the last week to the cotton men and
further hearings will be given them be-
ginning tomorrow morning. The grain
dealers and producers will be heard be-
ginning February 49,
Mr.. Scott said also that he was sure
the measure would pass the House and
that he had been reliably informed that
it stood good chance of passing the
Senate. There will be strong opposition
to the measure in the upper house, how
ever.

Owing to the fact that the members of
the House committee on agriculture are
getting behind in their correspondence

been expected that several members of the

ings will be resumed.
