WAShINGTON , Feb. 17.-There Is beIng
some uneasiness exhibited on tIme democratIc
side oC the senate that some of the appro-
priaton his may fail. There remains only
twelve more working days of the session , und
four of time most Important of these bills
are still entirely unconsidered In the senate.
These arc the Indian , the sundry civil , the
leglslatvc and the general deficIency bIlls. I
each of them being considered as being moro
likely to afford ground for debate than any
of time approprIatIon bills which have already
rEceIved attention. The anxiety Is not yet ,
however , very pronounced. I would ba more
marked but for the tact It Is generally
thought time republicans are sincere In their '
protestations that they 10 not desIre to pro-
the debate to the fall-
Ions sulelenly cause [ al-
ore oC any of the bis , and therely render
themselves amenable to the clarge of making
an extra session necessary.
The democratic managers expect to gain
considerable tIme hy moving at an early day
for an 1 o'clocl session , and following this
session hy prohonging ' time daily sessIons Into
the night. They had not Intended to press
the question oC 1 o'clock sessions until the
sundry civil bill should be taken up ,
but when they reachclI that decIsIon they
had supposed that thc ) would be able to
dispose of the 110stofce , the IndIan and the
agrIcultrl his lost week.
Instead they succeeded only In passIng
the IJOstofce bill and In having the agrIcul-
tural bill still only party considered and
the Indian bill untouched. I Il becomes IP ,
parent that the Indian h:1 : wi require time
proportionate to that put ill on the postolce
or DistrIct oC Columbia bill the motion for
early meetings , which Is already pending ,
will be press , early In the wee Ie. The
agricultural bill will be disposed of early in
the weelt and after that Is out of the W\Y '
the sundry civil bill will he taken up. The
sundry civil hi has not yet been reported
from committee , but II Is hoped It will be
reported tomorrow , certainly II will be beforetime
the Indian bill can be gotten out of the way
so that there Is no pr0llect of the senate
finding itself without un appropriation measure -
ore to proceed wIth.
There Is very little prospect for the consideration -
sideraton of any subject and the prospects
for any general legislation , such as that
proposed In the poolimg. territorial admis-
Von , Pacific railroad and bankruptcy bills ,
are growing smaller and smaller .
smaler all snuler every Iay.
There will b' a strong effort to gel up and
dispose of the pooling bill , hut there will
he determined opposItion and some of Its
best friends are growng : discouraged over
time lmrospect
' 10 prohahlites for the week also Include
n enrsorj" discussion of the territorial bills.
hut time prospects are agaInst their passage.
There are several financial his anll resolu-
tons which may he called up and time rules
of time senate permit sueh latude of debate
that n Inanclal sp.cech may be injected at any
time , and regarless of the measure In hmamul .
There Is still occasional reference to the
agreement which came so near being com.
pletef } last Thurslay for a two days' debate
nt the beglling of tlO week for nIl Jones
bill , for a vote at the close and the mater
may he revIved wih or wlhout unanimous
conaeimL Jones still Insists that either his
bill shul be consileretl on Its meris or that
Its oonents shall show their Indisposiion to
consider It hy Ilhusterlng against it. Senator .
ntor Vias has also given notice of his Inten-
ton to cal up his gold bond bill tomorrow
and hil doing so Is liable to precipitate u
Inanclal discussion at the heglnnlng of time
weelt's work . Alcget1er the outlook Is for a
busy week In time senate
