The bill ordinarily takes up a good deal of time and pro- ceedings upon it at this session will ly be an exception. A member from Tennestee, it is supposed, will offer an amendment at the very start, ‘which will lead eitra discussion, that amendment is to fx the salary of the president at £25,00), and the pro- position never fails to excite good deal of discussion. 1t is pretty well understoodthat the special deficlency bill will not be re- ported again. 4 815,000,000 preL.

The sundry civil will be much larger this year thanit has been for some time past. If the committes on public buildings and growads should succeed in getting a day for consider- ation of the numerous bills, reports for the cumstruction of buildings in difterent parts of the country, appro- priations for this purpose will all go in the sundry civil bill. A senator expressed the opinion yes- torday that the proviso in regard to the “atar” service in the appropriation bill will keep that bill in the scnate neatly & week, for elaborate discussion is ex- pected on it. The determination of the ways and means committee to do something with regard to the tariff may also have the effect to postpone the day of adjourn- ment. POLITICAL FLOOD-GATES TO OPEN UP.

THE WORK BEFORE CONGRESS. Special dispatch to The Hee. Wasarsarox, May 9—10 p. m.— Next week will determine whether congress can get away from here by June 1st, if the river, aud harbor ap- propriation bill can be passed in the ‘Thouse to-morrow, under suspension of the rules, and the legislative bill passed before next Saturdsy night the outlook for adjournment will be quite promising. There is an Jlement of opposition in the houseto the pass- age of the former bill without consid- eration In committee of the whole. If this should prove strong enough to de- feat the bill being rushed through under the suspension plan, it will not ‘b possible forcongress to adjourn be- fore the middle of June. The chances are that if congress remains in session until after the holding of the Chicago convention, it will remain here until {he middle of July. The plan of the democrats seems to be to pass a bill psescribing the duties of deputy mar- hrls and their mode of sppointment separate bill. If the president 1l and good; 1f he vetoes it, then let the matter drop, and hold theaepublicans to rocountability iu de- foating a bill in the interest of free elections, as is their custom. GREENBACK HARMCNY. Col. Lee Crandal, secretary of the congressional committeo of the nation- al greenback party, bas received a communication from Ottawa, Canada, ted by William Wallace, M. P., asking if a delegation of two or three from the Currency Reform League Club, of Canada,,would be admitted as visitors at the greenback labor con- vention, to be held in Chicago June 9. Tn his reply Col. Crandall ssid: “Your presence will be heartily welcomed, and your active sympathy with our financial movement is mest highly ap- prosiated. With yourselves we hope for victory, which will result in com- mon good to Canada and our states.” INDIAN TERRITORY INVADED. Anofficial dispatch was received at the interior department to-day from Wichits, Kansas, confirming <he re- port of the invasion of the Indian Ter- ritory by David L. Payne and others, and their occupation of lands on the Canadian river. Upon receipt of the dispate the secrotary of the interior atonce iad an_interview with the president, and it was decided that prompt snd eflivient measures would betaken for the expulsion of the in- vaders. CONGRESSIONAL OUTLOOK. ‘Special D spatch to The Bee. ‘Wasmisorox, May 10—1 8. m.— Although thres of the most important appropriation bills are yet to be re- s:...i" and only eighteen working ys of this month 1emain, there are Tambees, who iill belleve (hab' b ia possible for congress to sdjourn The firat day of June. On the ek others, and they seem to be in the majority, say that it will be im- possible to do x0. Two mare of the appropriation bills will be ready for presentation to tho president to-mor- Tow, viz: the Indian and consular and diplomstic bills, and they will be sigoed, thus making six of the regular series of appropriation bills which have become laws. The legioy bill will mot bs repored o the houso on Tuemday or Wednesdsy; it must then bo printed. and conrequently 1t will be Bearly s sion will be opened up. CHINESE IMMIGEATION BILL AND RIGHT HOUR BILLS. These special ordersare after all sub- ject to be set aside by appropriation bills or by reports from the committee of ways and means. The sense of the houte will be tested to-day on ths sub- ject of adjournment. Mr. Beck offers » resolution providing foradjouroment on the 27th inst. His offer of the reso- lution will be followed by a motion to refer it to the committee of ways and means. That committee has a resolu- tion for an adjournment on the 24th. Doubts are expressed as to the pessage of thereselution. In the first place many members do not think it advisa- ble for the house to place itself in the power of the people as to fixing the day a8 they will do if they pass the resolu- tion and send it to that body; then again members who were willing to adjourn when they saw no prospects of tariff revision will not be anxious to do 8o mow that the ways and means committee have agreed to report bill. Another strong incentive to an eatly adjournment is in the fact that man; members, wish to go home %o lool after their renomination. RIVER AND HARBOR BILL. Are & L0 TEATIUL 01 Wue IAGE OF TOAU measure this year. It has been the practice for years to pass the _bill un- dor @ suspension of the rule. One rosson given for that was that if the bill ever got iuto a committee of the whole it would be loaded too heavily with amendments but under the new rules of the honse motions to suspsnd rules can bo made only on the first and third of Mondays of each month and opponents of the bill threaten to to pursue the same tactics on the third Monday that were pursued last Mon- day, viz., to demand a reading of all bills in order to keep our motiona to suspend the rule, They say they will do all they can to compel consideration of the bill in a committee of the whole. In that eventit will take a long tim> to pass the bill. The river and harbor bill is not, howaver, like other appropriation bills essential to the operations of the government, 1t is necessarily taken into_considerat- ing the day of final adjournment, those who are interested in the items on it, however, will_not be very anx- ious fo fix ths day of adjournment if they see a disposition to sacrifice their bill. THIS WEEK'S PROGRAMME. To-day states will be called for bills for reference, snd after the morning hour aneffort will be made to got up & abill to prevent the circulation of debris in California rivers.

The Real Battle in Illinois Fought in Chicago Saturday. The Third-Termers Completely Overwhelmed in the Cook Connty Primaries, The Blaine-Washurne Ticket Elected by Large Ma- Jorities. How the Battle Was Fougbt-- The Interest Manifested. Blaine Leads in the Race for ,the Presidency. The Struggle in Chicago. | Special dispatch to The Bee Caicaco, May 8——4 p. m.—The re- publican national convention will vir- tually be held here to-day. There- | publican primaries in this city to-day will be the most exciting ever held here. Blaine and Washburne men have combined against Grant, with the understanding that whichever devel- ops the most strength in the state con- vention shall receive the support of the other. TRICKS OF THE TRADE. Both sides are using all the devices known to shrewd politicians to secure votes, and if a good many democrats do uot participate in the balloting, present indications are worthless. Lo- gan bas the postoffice and the county clerk’s and sheriff's offico at work for third term, while his oppenents are se- sisted by the forees of a few of the court house clerks and a large number of business men. ALLL00SE WAGONS in the city have been engaged to carry votera to the polls. The rest of the state is protty evenly divided betweon Grant and Blaine, and the ninety-two votes which Cook county will cast in the state convention will turn tho scalo and determine whetber Tllinois is for Grant or not. The result of the primaries is OF GREAT IMPORTANCE TO GEANT. If Grant does not carry Chicago ho will loso the state, and without his own state he cannot have any stand- T'o Blatne the 1ssue 1s less momentous, for he may be ablo to get along without Illinois. The two parties aro 50 EVENLY MATCHED, and there is so much at stake that excitement has reached the highest poit. On one side there are not only the followers of Grant, but thero are those who are indebted to Logan for their bread and butter and those who are indebted to Logan's im- mediate friends for their means of support. On other side there aro) the friends of ; Blaine, friends of Wasburne, friends of Mr. Farwell, the opponents of third term, and enemies of political dictatorship, as exemplified by Logan and Postmas- ter Palmer men, who do not want to see Illinois subject, like Pennsylvania and New York, to a political “‘bos.” The Result. Spocal Dispatch to The Be. Cutcaco, May 9—10 p. m.—The Chicago primaries, held yesterday af- ternoon, was largely attended. ~The rosult in the city, with the exception of the Eleventh and Twelfth wards, not yet reported, is 58 delegates for Grant and 88 for Blaine and Washburne.

New Yosk, May 9—10 p. m.—Last week wasa ‘‘olue” in business circles. The stock maket has been bearish, the prices of all commodities were lower, and the iron trade demoralized. It is rumored thatall the puddling works are to stop temporarily, while the pro- posed action of congress on the tariff has its effect in depressing values of manufactured artic The immedi- ate outlook is not promising. Mini shares have been a drug in the mar— ket. The immigration from abroad continues very large. The higher rate of wages will, it is claimed, soon show its effect in_a greater consamp- tive demand. The bank statement of the past week shows that money is accumulating in New York, and that the speculations for higher prices is oty sy present. The rate of in- terest is about 4 per cent., and it is predicted that gold will soon be sent abroad in large quantities. DRIVING A BUSINESS FROM NEW YORK. Dispateh to Tux Lax.

Preparations for the Coming Contest Between Hanlan, Courtney and Riley on The Potomac. Exciting Walking Match In New York,---A Thumping Match. Special Dispateh to The Bee. ‘WasHINGTON, May 9—10 p. m.— Arrangements for the approaching race for the $6000 prize between Han- lan and Courtney on the Potomac are progressing actively, and the daily prospects for an exciting race between the parties continue to improve. Re- feree Blaikie, who arrived here Fri- day, has cxamined the course and has decided that the race shall take place on the course beginning at a point about one hundred yards bslow the aqueduct bridge, and to continue straight away until opposite the Potomac boat kouse, where the turn shall be made, and the race continued on down to the buoys and return. It has been dectded that the winner of the toss for position shall not have the advantage of hugging the shore on the Virginia side atthe turn, but will stroke the ccurse off in such a way as to secure equal advantage to the oarsmen. A telegram received here Saturday announced _that Courtney left his home for Washington that morning, and is _expected to arrive Mon- day. His quarters will be at St. John's Hotel. This is one step on hispart showing that he is acting in good faith. Funchy Johnson, his trainer, comes with Courtney, and the prospect is that when Courtney, Riley and Hanlan all get down to training next week scenes on the river will be very lively. The ststement that Han- lan'would row no one but Courtney may be passed over now, as Hanlan has_expressed a willingnees that a sculler from_Saratoga Springs shall participate. He prefers rowing Court- ney, of course; but as the articles of agreement entitle Riley to a place, Hanlan bas no alternative. His ob- jection mainly was to rowing Riley alone, but itis understood now that the objection has been withdrawn, and the Capadian proposes to give both Riley and Courtney, togother or singly, the best day's_work they ever performed. pecial Dispaten o THN BER.
