CONGRESSIONAL FORECAST.
What tha Senate aad Haass Nave In Haad
and What Is Kaam-ted.
Wamiixutox. March 10. The uncer
tainty surrounding the disposition of
tho questions raised by tho recent re
consideration of executive session mat
ters makes it Impossible to forecast with
any degree of accuracy tho work of the
Senate for this week.
Senator Dolph'a committee will to-day
resume the Interrogation under oath ol
members of tho Senate respecting their
connection with "leaks" in the past and
the report of the discoveries may pre
cipitate another discussion similar to
that of last week. So much of the time
of the Senate waa taken up with thedls
cusslon that tho Iilslr Educational bill
was not disposed of, and It still heads
the calendar as unfinished business. A
very general fooling exists in favor of
closing this debate this week and to take
a vote on tho bill if possible. Mr. Evartt
will close tho debate in support of the
measure.
The report of the Commltteo on Priv
ileges and Elections on tho Montana
esse Is likely to lie made this week, but
the debate that must ensuo will nut
begin until the lllalr bill is out ot the
way. I
The Urgent Deficiency Appropriation '
bill will lie reported from the Committer
on Appropriations this week. I
Senator Stanford will offer a resolu
tion to-day Instructing the FlnsncoCom
mlttee to Investigate and report upoa
tbs expediency snd desirability of tha

Interest one or two per cent per annum, i

proportion ot mo loana wnen occasion
demands.
In the morning hours tho Oklahoma
Townsito bill may bo considered and
further progress made in the execution
of tho order to dispose of public build
ing and bridge bills on the calendar.
Thu work of the House this week will
probably lie devoted principally to add
ing new stars to tho National flag. The I
District of Columbia Committee will oo-'
cupy to-day in tho disposition of meas
ures relating to local affairs, and after
that the Oklahoma bill will lie taken
up and passed upon finally, as far
as tho Houso is concerned. Then,
according to notlco already given,
tho Territories Commltteo will present ,
for the consideration of the House tho
bill to admit Wyoming as a Statu of the
Union, and this will bo followed by the
Idaho bill If any time remains.
The Commltteo on Elections desires
to cnll up tbo contested election case ot
Mudd vs. Com p ton, from Maryland, but
will only do so, according to present
management if It can bo done without
interfering with thu Statehood bllla al
