Washington, February 18. With five
appropriation bills still unacted upon
- and but two weeks more of this session
liefore it, the senate will not be inclin-
e discuss matters other than appro
priation bills this week. There is al
ways the possibility of a financial dis
cussion springing1 tip and under the
very lax rules of the senate and more
-or less of the morning1 hour may be
consumed in this way. The hope of
getting a vote in the senate on the
various Cnancial propositions r has not
been altogether abandoned. It is be
lieved that some agreement may be
reached after the sundry civil bill is
out of the way The coming week wil"
be required to pass the Indian bill and
the -sundry -civil bill which will be re
ported to the sonate today. . ,
Today will be suspension day in the
house and nrrangem- nt have - been
made by which gentlemen in Charge of
several measures that have attracted
more or less attention hitherto and oc
cupied a greater or less amount of time.
will be recognized to ask that they be
passed under suspension rules.
Among these are the following: .
The bill to increase the efficiency of
the revenue marine service by- estab
lishing a retired list in connection
therewith. This biil is earnestly ad
vocated by the treasury department
and is believed to have the support of
a large majority of the house, but hith
er to Mr. Clark, democrat of Missouri,
has been successful in talking it out of
place and preventing a vote. .
A bill to equalize the pensions of vet
erans of the Mexican war making them
$12 under the general law. -
The bill to authorize the construc
tion of dams acrpss -the St. Louis and
Cloquett rivers, Missouri, by the Alta
monte" Water company. This proposi
tion involves the largest- project ever
undertaken in the west the construc
tion of a dam one hundred feet high.
seven hundred feet in thickness at the
base and one hundred feet wide at the
top. Primarily it is undertaken to sup
ply t,he city of lhiluth with water. In
cidentally a power estimated at six
hundred thousand horse will be de
veloped that may be used for manufac
turing and commercial purposes. Be
tween the city and . source of supply
there is a range of low hills about one
hundretTfeet high and the dam is nec
essary to carry the water over that.
The passage of the bill has been recom
mended by the committee on Indian
affairs, which had jurisdiction beiuse
the building oi the dam would liood
the Fon du Lae reservation, but a mi
nority of the committee interpose a
vigorous dissent, ' because, for one rea
son, they are not satisfied with the
financial ability of the water company
to carry out the project ; that it has
"Inany unstable features of a boom,
which, if carried out, would end in de
stroying confidence in the resources of
that section of the country and would
materially retard Us progress."
Speaker Crisp has notified the gentle
men in charge of these several meas
ures that they must have a quorum on
hand to promntly dispose of them, or
they will be required to give way to
other business.
The consideration of the naval ap
propriation bill and of the general de-
ficiency bill, which Mr. Breckinridge
has given notice he will call aip as soon
s the former is out of the way, will
probably occupy the rest of the week.
j save Saturday which has been set apart
for the delivery of. eulogies upon the
late Senator Vance of .North Carolina.
