Washington, ]). 0,, Feb. 17.?I'reaom ndlcations point to a week o( busluem ictivity in the Sonato. Mr. Hale will o-morrow call up ilia census' bill, wit!: intendment* recommended by tbe com mttoo, auii iiorotolore outlined in these tispatuhea. To-morrow is also tbo da; ssignud for the presentation to Con' ress by Sunator Puiiuur, on bebull ol lie Stato of Michigan, of u bronze statue f Lewis Ouas, now standing veiled in tatuary Hall. After u week's hard work the sub ouimittee in charge of the Sundry Civil impropriation bill, linve completed it >r submission to tlio full committee to. jorrow morning, and probably to the enuto during the day, so that it may he ikon up Tuesday. The committee uiondnients make a large increase over io amount appropriated by the house. Ihalrman Allison expects that the eu ro week, after Monday, will bo occu led by the consideration of appropriu on bills. The diplomatic, and consular, aud liiitary academy bills have passed both ouses and gone to the President for orfoction. Legislative and pension bills re in conference, the National bill is efore tho House Committee on Appro bations, with Senate amendments; ic sundry civil, army and agricultural Ills have passed tbe House and are bo ire tho Senate Committee; the Indian, ost Office, Deficiency and Elver and [arbor bills have been reported to tho louse, and are still on the calendar, All icse bills will undoubtedly get through efore the session closes, except, possi ly, tho deficiency bill. If they bocome iws in anything like the shape giver, lem by the Senate, they will go far iwards disposing of one argument for a extra session of Congress this spring. The agreement upon the direct tax 111 wlpesoutabout $20,000,000 ot the ap ropriations that seem to he agreed upon i necessary, and will practically ubsorb io bulance for the coming year, in tho pinion of these who have made u study I the hills. In tlio past week there has been a de ;dcd change of sentiment ou tho qucs on of an extra session, and among Sen tors at least, thu conviction now is uite goneral that an extra session will ot be called before October, if at ail. Ono or two reports of comcrouce com littees upon appropriation bills are kely to come in this week, where the llferoncec between the houses are :uall, as is tho case on the Pension and io Legislative Appropriations bills. The present week promises to he one f interest in tho house, and will proba ly be ushered In by a day of filibuster IK on "suspension Monday." Mr. Outhwaite, of Ohio, chairman of io Committee on l'aciuc ItuMroads, a toil yesterday that ho would oiler, uilcr a suspension of the rules, a roso itlon fixing an early day for tho consid ration of the Unionl'acilicfunding bill. Mr. Mills, bits signtied his intention of illing upon Tuesday tho resolution re orted from the committee on ways and leans, declaring that the Senate lias no anstitutionai right to originate a tax ill, under tho guise of a substitute for a ouse bill. This will undoubtedly give iso to a debate, in which the couslltu ottnl question will bomadesuhordinate j the question of thu comparative icrits of the Mills bill and the Senate ubstitute. Dependent on tlio outcomu f this debate and the vote which will >llow it, is tlio question whether or not lie Mills bill will remain upon tbo cai udar as thu first harrier to ho oncoun jred by tho friends of the Cowlo's bill, ?lieu, on Wednesday, or Thursday, Mr. Inndull will ask thu house to go into omudttee of tlio whole for tlio conslder lion of revenue bills. Should this barrier jmain on the calendar. and be success lily surmounted, two more obstacles ill have to bo removed or overcome be ire tho Cowles bill can bo reached, beso aro the measures known as tho IcMlllin and Breckinridge bills, which avo been reported from the Committeo n Ways and Means for tho purpoBoof lacing in the hands of that committee 'capons with which to copo with tho tomuiittco on Appropriations.

Washington, D. 0., Feb. 17.?The President liun been negotiating (or tlx Bale of Oakvlcw, his country residence lor lorae time, through the medium of i prominent real estate broker, but bo fai ail attempts to dispose of tbe piaee at the price asked have failed. According to the statements made at the time of the purchuso the President pafd about $22,000 for the mauslon am! something mora than twenty acres of land. Improvements which bare been put upon tbe bouse and land under his supervision have probably cost $10,000, aud consequently the property stands him well on to ?15,000, providing the original price claiinod was paid as stated. There has always been a dispute about tliis. It bus been broadly asserted by several ol the most reliable real estatu dealers of the city that the President paid only the nominal price of $1 for tho entire property, aud that tbe trans action was arranged by a millionaire real estatu syndicate, which had pur chased nearly all of the farms of that section, and wanted the President lo cated there to give the region a boom. If this was the object the President's purchase, or gift, certainly, had the de Bired otTeet. A tremendous boom was started in that direction, and through tho influence of tbe syndicate ttnd the fact of the President's location there the District Commissionera, now two-tblrds Democratic, went into the scheme ol ex tending Massachusetts avenue, which greatly enbauced the value of uuhu proved property In thut region at the general expense of tax-payers. While the syndicate was in no hurry to sell they disposed of a large amount of land in subdivisions for lots anil villa sites, nnd while they have not by any menus made tbe pile they anticipated, they have doubtless well covered their investments. For tho enormous prolils of tho original scheme they depended on Xlio re-election of President Cleve land, but that failing, they are, to use a popular vulgarism, "in the soup." The only attraction iu that direction, other than the natural spread of the city out from the fashionable northwest section, was the mero fact of tho presence of tho President's country seat. That removed, tho solid bottom was out of tho whole business. The fact thut the brilliant schotuo of what might be termed tho President syndicate did not pun out what wus an ticipated. on account of the unexpected result of tbe olection, does not deter other speculators from devising a bIui iliar project and using President Harri son to lurther their ends. It hi already reported that Mr. Harrison is nego tiating for the purchase of at least a dozen country seats, and it is well known that ho can huvo any one of suverul as a gift if ho will but take it and lead the star of tho empire In that direction. But tho incoming President is not only acquainted witli tho geography of tbe District, but is well posted as to real cstuto matters, and he is not likely to fall into tho trap of real estate speculators blindly, or to accept with his eyes open a proposition to receive as a gift n coun try place solely for tho purpose of en riching u lot of gamblers in land, how ever much he may gain personally by the transaction.

Around the hotels and, in tin streets, the chief topic lias been thi visit of Mr. Window, and varies as ti whether he Is to go into the cabinet ai well as the quality of tbo .appointment The leading Republicans here are nol disposed to talk much on the subject There is less talk to-day of \V. II. II Miller going into tho cabinet than on yesterday, but quite a number of Mr, Miller's iriouds positively assert that he will he oue of the eight. They do nol pretend to usslgn him to any specific place, but the intimations are that II will be the Department of Justice. II is known that General Harrison has had for a long time the greatest confidence iu his judgment in legul questions. Out side of tho immediate friends of Mr. Mil ler, however, there is little credit given to the report. It was rumored last night that Mr. Noble, of Missouri, who bus been men tioned for a Cabinet place, was In the city yesterday and called upon General Harrison, but nothing certain can bo obtained iu regard to It, as the rumor will neither be allirmed nor denied at the General's house. It is pretty gen erally conceded here to-day that Sir. Noble will be a member of tho Cabinet. The leading Democrats hero nre dis posed to criticize very severely the make Mi of the Cabinet, so far as it has been announced. In this criticism they are joined by some of tho Repul >licaus. Their criticisms aro mainly directed at Win dom, Wuiiatuoker and Noble.

BMRLT MM. j Secretary of State Bayard De fends his Foreign Policy. THE SflMOflN DIFFICULTY And tho Coutbo of tlio Artinlnlitrtt tiou?Ho Attempt* to Reply to Thoso who have CrUU'Uoti UU Auto lu tho Premise*. Baltimobb, Md., Feb. 17.?A Wash , ington special to the Baltimore Sun based on u conversation held with Mr Bayard, gives an outline of tho polic) which has controlled tho actions of the Department of State during tho past four years. It hasbeeu frequently as sorted that Mr. Bayard hus had no policy, whereas he has all along had a very deflnito and a peculiarly .American policy. He believes that the American people havo a higher and a uohler des tiny than that of swaggering about among the nations of the earth, "during somebody," to use a homely expression, "to knock u chip oil* tholr shoulder." llo thinks it is tho imprcssiou to take the lead among nations in substituting pacific methods for force in settling in ternational disputes. Mr. Bayard's theory of statesmanship is that nothing should be dono to dis turb oriuiperilourpeaceful conditions, but that, on tho contrary, the highest duty of the patriot is to contribute, ns fur as ho can to their perpetuation aud devel opment. His ideu is that the military spirit is to be discouraged in u republic except insofar as it is necessary for pur poses of defense. Encourage the mili tary spirit in this country, says Mr. Bayard, and you would soon have a war. A war necessarily means an urmy and if onco the military spirit got thorough possesion of tho people this urmy would Become a pormanent establishment. Mr. Bayard, commenting on tho clam or in certain quarters over tho Samoan episode, said: 11 What is it they want mo to do? to provoke a war? 1 do not bo lieve the people want to go to war about Samoa. There is no occasion ior it. If they do want war they must get another Secretary of State." Another favorite thomo with Mr. Bayard is tho neutralization of certain localities which uro useful to others and incapaplo of defense without dispropor tionate cost by any of them. He in stances tho neutralization of tho Sue/. Canal by the common consent of the European powers as an example of tho important benefit to bo secured by tho application of this principlo. Snmo similar arrangement would havo to bo entered into to protect tho interests of this country if a ship canal across tho Isthmus of Pauatna is built. It would not bo sufllcient protection for tho Uuitcd States to have control of such a canal. Tho only adequate protection is to be secured by neutralization of the canul by consent of all the powers. Mr, Bayard sought to apply this nrin ciplo of neutralization by international agreement to tho Samoan Islands. Tho proposition that tho United Suites should guarantee the neutrality of those islands Boomed to him to bo unwise, for the rea son that to guarauteo tho neutrality of an independent sovereignity, especially one as weuk as Samoa, would bo to ex pose this couutry to the constant risk of embroilment in relation of Samoa with other powers, we would bo responsible whatever Samoa might choose to do without tho power to regulato her conduct. It would bo cheuper to annex tho islands at once?for then, in assuming tho responsibility of defending them against all comers, we would acquiro tlio right to provido them against all comers. Wo would acquiro tho right to provido thorn with a safe and stablo government. To do this it would bo necessary to build great forti Ucations at Pago Pago, to furnish them with a powerful gurrison, to maintain a powerful lleot in tho South Pacific. The cost would bo enormous, and after all this oxpendituro American interests in Sumoa would not bo as safe as under a guarunteo by tho powers interested of tho neutrality of tho islands. Air. Bayard looks upon tho rejection of tho Chinese, fisheries and oxtradition treaties as unfortunate for the country. Ho docs uot regard tho uction of tho Sen ate as justly involving any of tho rellec tion upon tho actual merit of tho treaties themselves. Willing for n Settlement. Beklin, Fi'b. 17.?It l? stated that tho government is willing to effect a settle ment of tlio Samoan question upon tho basis ol tho United States government's proposal at tho Washington conference, namely, tho establishment of a joint American, Gorman and English "ontrol over the Samoan government through tlio consuls of tho three countries at A pin.
