Washington, Mb rob 13.— Appropria-

right of way in the house tbit week.
Til* sundry olvil bill, which it unfin-
ished buslneae, carries 832,806,383, 80.-
409,928 leas than that of last year. It
will probably require four days to dis-
pose of this bill, the two items that will
provoke the 4poHt opposition being the
appropriations for tho geological aud
the coast geodetic surrey.
After the sundry civil bill is disposed
of, then either the military or cousular
or diplomatic bill will consume tho
balance of the week,
In accordance with an agreemont
the senate will devote the major por-
tion of this week to the consideration
of the Bland seigniorage act, which is
to be finally disposed of by vote on
Thursday if Senator Allison’s motion
should fail of adoption, as it likely
will. The agreement for the consid-
eration of the seigniorage bill does not
preclude the routine worit of the sen-
ate, which is confined to the time be-
fore 2 o’clock in the day, and it is prob-
able that many of the bills upon the
calendar, upon which iiondivision of
sentiment is probable, will lie token up
and passed duriug this time, and also,
after the seigniorage bill is disposed of
on Thursday and the remaining days
of the week, if the senate should not
adjourn over.

the cable was too erjtensive and tried
the storage battery system, but this
proved a failure. No conclusion was
reached.

The Ilouan.
Washington. March 7.—After fivo
days of debate the pension appropria-
tion bill, carrying $’,51,000,001), was
passed without division. Throughout
the debate there has been no criticism
of the amount carried by tho bill, the
debate being on the one hand confined
to an nesanlt on the manner in which
the present commissioner of pensions
had administered tho office and his al-
leged unauthorized suspension of pen-
sions, and on the other to a defense of
the attempt of the commissioner to
purge the rolls of those who were not
entitled to a place upon them.
All the amendments to the Gill save
one, that of Mr. Pickier to make the
reports of the examining surgeon open
to inspection of the applicant or bis at-
torneys. were defeated. They all fell
under points of order that they were
hot germane.

dent transmitted some additional Ha-

and assistant commissioner of m

The discussion over the bill took

Messrs. Baker, Henderson, Hepburn,

passed.
The houso then went into committee
of tho whole for the consideration of

that the motion to reconsider would
prevail, as lie wanted the bill open to
amendment.
Mr. Harris claimed that tho bill lmd
reached its present singe tliiough the
regular channels of the senate proced-
ure and he knew of no reason why the
bill should not lie disposed of within ill)
minutes. Ho would not consent to re-
consider tho bill until the majority by
a yea and nay vote decided it.
Mr. Sherman, an ominous frown on
his brow, and speaking in an earnest,
determined tone, reiterated the hope
that the motion of Senator Allison
would prevail, for there was noplispusi-
tion on his part of the chamber to pre-
vent the passage yf the bill.
He was followed by Senators Lodge
and Higgins. The hill went over with-
out action.
