regular or Jet will have the off* ■ I of dis
placing the canal tail, preferen • ix-i.ig
given under the rules to a regular otd r
over a *}Nvtal order.
It Is undersiool that Senator Morgan,
who has charge of the canal bill, will not
press that measure until the treaty for
the abrogation of the Cl .yton-Itulwer
treaty la dlsp-aed of. On thi- account the
friends of the ship bill and- not appreh -nd
that he will make any opposition t. the
continuance of the conM*leratl*m of that
measure. He h.is Indeed Mid that he
would be content to allow his bill to fol
k*w dooely in the wake of the ship bill.
Three or four set |xeihes are promised
in oppoaltton to the subsidy bill. ii It
is expected that moat If not all of thoa*
already in sight will be made during the
week. Among those who probably will
speak on the subject are Senators Clay.
Vest, and Berry, all of whom oppuoo the
bill. Vest is an cs|hn ial advo

There are difference* of opinion as I<>
what effect th- vote on the forllflc.ition
amendment to the treaty will have ujwn
the time of disposing of that instrument,
but a majority of the senators expre-s the
opinion ttwi the vote upon the treaty k
self wBl follow very soon after the vote
upon the amendment. The indications
are that the amendment will be adopt.d
and th.* a thus aim-i.ikNl the treaty
will be ratified. Opponents of the treaty
will offer other amendment*, but they do
not count upon having them acted upon
favorably.
