morrow the house enters upon the last week
of its session , and time usual rush which char-
acterlzls the closing hours or every session of
congress wi begin. Under the rules the last
she days of every session are suspension days
and members recognized may cal up bills
amid have them acted on under suspension of
the rules. There arc 331 llblc bis on the
calendar , 217 or which must he considered In
committee of the whole , ana 11 on the reg-
than calendar. In addition to these there are
over 100 bils on the private calendar. O
course only a very InsIgnificant percentage of
thes his can be passed , but the press for
precedence will be terrIfic , and many oxcl-
Inr scenes are almost sure to occur. I Is
quite probable that several night sslons will
ho held . and I Is almost certain that con-
gross will remain In contInuous session from
Saturday untIl Monday next on which day
congress eXlllres by limitation at noon.
Time regular appropriation allis lire unusu-
ally well advanced , so tar as the hous Is
concerned , only one ( the defciency ) being un-
acted upon , and I will go to the senate to- :
morrow. The two which ore consdereel dan- :
erous , that I liable to fall or be vetoeJ . are I
the sundry cIvil and 11 diplomatic and con-
sular. To the former the senate commIttee
on finances has reported amenllments for 3
Per cent coin bonds , wih a Ilrovlslon requitIng -
lug the secretary of the treasury 10 advertise

that the commlteo on rules will gve ! both

APPROPRIATIONS IN TiE SOUTH.
The fenate program for the remainder or
the session Is to follow the sundry civil bill ,
the consideration at which will begIn tomorrow -
morrow with tha legislative executive and
judicIal bill . and then to take up the naval
bi and lastly the general deficiency. While
It Is understood that there wi
probably he spasmodIc attempts to
Get UII other measures at general 1m.
portance the best opinion Is that none of
these will be slcceseful In cases where there
Is objection. I Is possible that Senator Dut-
her wIll renew his efforts In behalf f he
poolIng bill , and that Senator Gecrp : will
also again attempt to restore the bankruptcy
bill te It position as the unfnlshe : luslne R.
but I Is not In the least probable the efforts
I'C either will be successful Senator I" " ul-
ne is b'sO hopeful of securing brier CI'"Mldor-

An order has already bon m'le for a night
session Tuesday fer the coiisideritlan of his
to which there are no objections. The proba-
blltes Include nIgh sessions every nIght
after Tuesday , continuing virtually thro.lgh
the nIghts 'ot'Sturday and Sunday and' also
a session next ' u day during the day.
These. It Is believed , wi be held to dispose of
the approprIation his , there beIng many pro-
visions In thOse re'alnlng to be considered
which will lead to prolonged debate. There
Is also n probability ot debate over the. next
report of the conference commIttee on the
diplomatic bill , InvolvIng the appropriation
for the HawaiIan cable. There Is not much
In the legislative bill to led to debate but
the other three bills all contain provIsions ,
which I they arc not withdrawn , are sure
to cause sharp debate.
It Is intimated that the certificate amendment -
meat to the sundry civil bUt may be with-
drawn. I It Is this will 'Imply sImply the
situation , but there wi be materIal for many
speeches and resolutions tar prolongIng tie
sessions Senator do not consider the out-
look discouragIng and they predict that bills
