Washington, Feb. 27.—The closing week of the Fifty-second congress will be characterized by a rush of legisla tion that has seldom been equaled. As there is not time enough for all the many private measures near comple tion to pass, they must antagonize each other, and opposed to them in both houses will stand the appropriation committees urging immediate action upon the great measures in their charge. The present condition of these bills is as follows: The fortification bill is a law, the army bill is before the presi dent for signature, the military acad emy and the District of Columbia bills are in conference, the sundry civil, the diplomatic and consular and the legis lative bills have passed both houses,but have not reached the conference stage. The pension bill has passed the house and been reported to the senate and the naval, agricultural, postoffice and de ficiency bills arc waiting confirmation at the hands of the senate. In the senate the naval bill will prob ably come up Monday. The agricul tural and postoffice bills are expected to be reported by Tuesday and the de ficiency bill about the middle of the week. They will be taken up for ac tion as fast as reported. Meantime consideration of these bills and of other pending measures will be suspended from time to time to allow the dispo sition of conference reports. In this con dition of affairs matters of general leg islation can hardly receive much atten tion, but if opportunity offers Senator Teller will endeavor to call up his re vised McCarrahan bill. Mr. Carey may make another effort to secure consider ation for his omnibus sta tehood bill and Senator Blackburn will probably strive to secure the passage of the New York and New Jersey bridge bill as it came from the house. i nere seems to dc some purpose 10 prevent any further executive session of the senate if possible. This will serve a three fold purpose defeat action on the nomination of Judge Hanchett, prevent reconsideration of the vote by which the nomination of Congressman Finley of Maryland as Chillian arbitra tor was rejected and shelve the Ha waiian treaty of annexation for this session. In the house, advantage will be taken of the rule permitting action during the last six days of a session, under suspen sion of the rules, to push forward busi ness of an urgent nature. A number of measures of comparatively little inter est may thus be passed, but the indica tions are that it will be necessary to (five most of the time to the appropria tion bills. Unless an amicable under standing can be privately reached with reference to the course to be taken with the Sherman bond amendment to the sundry civil bill, it is probable that it will be moved under suspension of the rules to send all the amendments to conference with formal nonconcurrence recommended. It is believed that a two-thirds vote can be secured for this motion. By the adoption of this measure the long delay freer the numerous amendments of no special interest in themselves would be avoided, leaving only the bond amend ment to be fought out in the house. It is expected by the leaders of the liouse that the French spoliation claims will again be put on the deficiency ap propriation bill by the senate and per haps the Cherokee strip on the Indian bill, but with these exceptions it is not anticipated that any serious trouble will occur in conference sufficient to endanger the passage of the appropria tion bills and compel an extra session >f congress. Furnishing; Germany’s Food. Washington, D. C., Feb. 27—The United States is the chief source of sup ply from which Germany draws the de ficit in her domestic breadstuff. Such ts the information continued in a re port to the state department by Frank il. Mason, consul at Frankfort, of the statistics of grain importation into Ger many for the year 181)2. They show an enormously increased volume of both wheat and rye imported from the United States. From fourth place in 1890, the United | States rose to first place in 1892. The amount of wheat purchased from the I United States rose from 1,903,773 bush els in 1890 to 23,083.795 bushels last year. The importations from the United States in 1892 were nearly half of the whole amount imported—46,509, 719 bushels. The importations of rye from the United States increased from 565,833 bushels in 1890 to 4,983,335 bush els in 1893. Russia's contribution of that cereal into Germany owing to the failure of crops decreased from 27,000, 000 bushels in 1890 to 4,500,000 in 1893. Tin Plate Industry. Washington, Feb. 27.—Special Agent Ayer has submitted another report to the treasury department' ou the devel opment of the tin plate industry. The period that is covered by this report is the quarter ending December 1. 1892. The report shows that during that period thirty-two firms produced 19, 750,491 pounds of tin plate proper. The same number of firms pvodueed during the previous quarters 10,952.725 pounds. Will Discount Silver SO Per Cent. Vancouvkh, B. C„ Feb. 25.—On and after March 1 chartered banks here will .only accept American silver at 20 per cent discount. The former dis count was 5 per cent. The reason is a desire to get rid of American silver, as there is too much in the country at present. Merchants intend to take sil ver at par and ship it to the States. A story is current to the effect that Gresham was offered the republican nomination at Minneapolis, as a com promise between the factions. Talton, the murderer awaiting execu tion at Tahlequah, may escape through a legal technicality. Near Cstlettsburg, Ky.. Shirley Quil ling and James Wing fought a duel with pistols, and both were killed. Twenty anarchists have been arrested at Rome on suspicion of being connected wite recent dynamite explosion. Rhode Island prohibitionists have nominated Robert B. Metcalf for gov ernor. Contrary to strict orders many tick ets of admission to the pope's jubilee were sold. The pope eulogizes Gladstone and ap proves nis home rule bill. NEWS NOTES. STATE LEGISLATURE. PROCEEDINGS IN THE NEBRASKA SENATE AND HOUSE.
