IN A NEW FORM.
Frye to Introduce a New Samoan
Resolution,


WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-The senate,
by It's action last week, did not dispose
of the Samoan question. 1t will come
up in a new form during the coming
week, and it is likely more decided ac-

yesterday that what he expected of the
senate committee on foreign relations
was to report a resolution giving the
president authority to demand that the

1887 be restored. The committee is now
acting under resolution of Instructions
from the senate, but no special meeting
has been called, and the resolution, ii
reported, may not come before the sem

Meantime, the Pacific railroad funding
bill is expected to come up Mon
day at 2 o'clock, and the Sher-
man antitrust bill early in the
week. The legislative, executive and
judicial appropriation bill will be re-
ported to the senate tomorrow. and the
committee expects to call it up Tues
day. 1t will consume at least one of
the afternoons of the week. Senator
Hale said yesterday that he expected to
call up the census bill the latter part of
the week, and that it would probably
occupy the senate's attention for two
days OF more. Senator Chandler eX-

among the advocates of these several
measures of forming combination to
continue the legislative day of Monday
until Tuesday. so as to afford time for
all to secure recognition. Mr.. Town

up the army appropriation bill, and Mr..

an extended DEBATE. As the session
draws to close the bills that are being
pushed forward are so numerous that
any of them may at any time engage
the attention of the house to the exclu-
sion OF measures assigned given time
for consideration.
