First Week of Congress Promises Little Legislation
Washington December 7 The opening week promises to see the House push regular appropriations bills with two or three likely before Christmas. The pension and legislative appropriation bills are nearly ready and may begin in the House this week. Senate focus remains on supply measures as only these topics are clearly in sight. The rules committee will shape the calendar with no blocking of appropriation bills once reported.

Senate Sees Slow Start to First Legislative Week
In Washington the senate session is not expected to yield major results initially. Many senators favor minimal action beyond passage of appropriation bills, which originate in the house, with four days of work per week. The calendar includes immigration, Pacific railroad refunding, statehood, Dingley tariff and bond bills, plus Hawaiian and Cuban questions. Senators Lodge and Chandler plan to press the immigration bill to a vote quickly, hoping for passage before holidays. Republicans are set for a caucus on tariff policy, with no major steps until after that meeting.
