They Will Be Disposed of This Week.
ACTION EXPECTED IN THE HOUSE.
Bat Little Doubt but What They Will l'ass That Body—The Best of the Week Will Be Devoted to Appropriation Bills.
Probable Program of the House and Senate.
WASHINGTON, March 2.—The conspicuous feature of the house proceedings this week will be in connection with the Cuban resolutions which the committee on foreign affairs reported and which are now on the calendar. After the objection raised by Mr. Boutelle on Thursday last it became almost certain that unanimous consent could not be secured for the consideration of the resolutions, and as the senate resolutions were referred on Friday to the foreign affairs committee, it is certain that unusual methods will be required to get the subject before the house.
Two methods are open. Under the rules the first and second Monday's of each month are suspension days. Today, therefore, is one of the days wheu the speaker could recognize Mr. Hitt to move the passage of the resolutions under a suspension of the rules. Such a motion would require a two-thirds majority, but it is not believed that a dozen votes would be recorded in opposition. Only 30 minutes debate on a side would be allowed if such a motion were made. The other way would be for the committee on rules to bring in a special order. The general impression is that the former method will be followed.
The fact that the senate resolutions wei inferred to the committee indicate that the majority prefer the house to t-i.e senate resolutions, but when the question comes before the house, unless it is by a special order, which would cut off amendment, a motion probably will be made to substitute the senate resolutions. The latter action would have the advantage of ending the matter Delay would be a natural incident to the passage of another set of resolutions by each house, and the temper of members is enthusiastically in favor of action.
There has been some talk of making the resolutions joint, instead of concurrent, in order that the president may be forced to approve or reject them, but there is 110 probability that this change will be made.
The remainder of the week will be occupied with appropriation bills The legislation bill, which is under consideration, will consume two days, possibly more, and the postoffice bill will probably take up the balance of the week,
SENATE PROGRAM.
A Number of Subjects Will Be Considered as the Calendar Is a Large One.
WASHINGTON, March 2.—The senate probably will pass the agricultural appropriation bill early in the week.
Senator Mitchell of Oregon, chairman of the committee on privileges and elections, has given notice of his intention to call up the Dupont election case on Wedenesday. He will make a speech on this subject at that time, supporting the claim of Mr. Dupont to the vacant Delaware seat and will be followed by Senator Turpie in the support of the views of the minority. Senator Prichard is scheduled to follow Mr. Turpie, and other members of the committee will be heard later.
It is not expected that the decision of the senate will be reached during the present week, and the- result is as yet very uncertain. The Republican side of the senate has been canvassed with the result of ascertaining that there will be a solid Republican vote in support of the proposition to seat Mr. Dupont, but this is one short of A majority, and it is not yet known Whether this vote can be obtained. It is believed that the entire Democratic vote Will be cast against Dupont. The Republicans, therefore, depend entirely upon securing at least a part of the Populist vote.
Senator Berry will make another effort during the week to secure consideration of the bill providing for settle-, ment of the accoUnts'*etween the: state of Arkansas aild the United States and Senator McBridfe will make alike effort on hifi bill providing for the refunding of $1.25 per acre paid oh land embraced in railroadTahd grants.
The calendar continues to grow and will afford plenty of material for work if circumstances permit it to be taken up. It is also probable that Senator Teller will find opportunity during the week to discuss the tariff bill as it relates to the silver question and there may be other speeches in the same line, with an effort to secure a vote on the motion to recommit.
DUTY ON ALCOHOL.
The Spirit Will Probably Be Taken Off the Free List.
WASHINGTON, March 2.—Representative Walter Evans of Louisville, chairman of the subcommittee of the ways and means committee, having in charge the bill introduced into the house by Mr. McMillin of Tennessee providing for the repeal of the se lion of the Wilson-Gorman tariff bill placing on the free list alcohol used in arts, etc., has been authorized to make a favorable report on the measure to the full committee.
There is no doubt that this report will be approved by the committee and that the bill will be favorably reported to the liouso. ihe tax on alcohol nets from $10,0O0,000 to $15,000,000 annually. The provision placing alcohol on the free list has never been enforced, as congress failed to appropriate money for the purpose.

OHIO SOLDIERS MAY PROFIT.
A Bill Introduced to Pension the Departmental Corps.
WASHINGTON, March 2.—Representative Lorenzo Dauford has introduced a bill similar to the one reported by the committee on invalid pensions. In Ohio and Pennsylvania, during the late war, a vast number of men joined what is known as the department corps. They were regularly organized into companies and regiments, and were mustered, but were obliged to wait for many months the call of the government.
Once more they were called to take part in the battle of Gettysburg and again to do service at Sandusky, or Johnson's island, but in numerous instances the men did not serve their country more than 50 or 60 days. Under the pension act of 1890, they are not eligible for government relief because their actual service did not amount to 90 days.
Captain Dahford seeks to amend the law of 1890 so that the time put in awaiting the caU of the government may be considered actual service and give these men a chance to procure pensions.
The bill reported by the committee on invalid pensions reduces the required term of service from 90 to 60 days. Hundreds of 'old soldiers in Ohio will profit if either of these bills becomes a law.
PEARL BRYAN MURDER.
The Mystery Is Almost as Much of a Problem as Ever.
CINCINNATI, March 2.—Four weeks have come and gone since the headless body of poor Pearl Bryan was found near Fort Thomas, in the Kentucky highlands, And the mystery is still unsolved.
Diu-ing the past week the actual developments in the famous case have been very few. Saturday night detectives struck what may be an important clew. They have located a house on Elm street, where, it is thought, Pearl Bryan spent a portion of Fi'iday afternoon just preceding her awful death. Several witnesses say that they saw her go in and come out, and then meet Walling. The lady who is running the boarding and lodging house denies this, but it is believed that the evidence will be so
