I All of the am propriation measures, scept the naval .budget are expected > go through, although only seven of le fourteep regular money hills have Den completed and just two have been igned so far by President Wilson. The hief executive plans to be at the caup ol the afternoon of March 4th .for 'tion on eleventh-hour measures. Five of the appropriation lileasuires, ie army, agriculture, sundry, civil, gislative, and fortilcal tion are in anfereice but agreements are expect J. A big fight is ex-lected over the rmy bill due to the senate's Increase f the regular army of 175,000 men as gainst 150,000 fixed by the house. The question of free seeds aid of a 5,000,000 loan to farmers in drliouth trichlen regions of the west are ty 1g up the agriculture -bill. The sen te and ho-use are deadlocked on the ndry bill over the $10,000,000 Muscle hoals power amendment of the sen te and over the $18,600,000 Plappro riation for soldier hospitals.

It is one measure In a olucornered fight for precedence in he senate. The other three bills be id which pressure is planned are: 'he war-time laws repeal resolution; he soldiers' bonus .measure, and the avy appro:riation budget.
