WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 27.—During the days and nights of the fraction of a week remaining to the present session of Congress, the Senate will give instant attention to conference reports and general appropriation bills whenever any of them shall make their appearance, and every effort will be put forth to finish the necessary legislation before next Friday noon. Members of the Appropriation Committee, upon whom the hardest work devolves, are divided in opinion respecting their ability and that of the Senate to credibly accomplish all that is expected, but the majority hope that, barring accidents and wilful acts of obstruction, it may still be found possible to avoid the necessity for a called session of the Fiftieth Congress.
