The Chilean Matter, the Most I'M
portant, Apt to Come Up.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-The course Of
the proceedings in congress during the
ninth week Of the session depends largely
upon the manner in which the Presidents
message and the Chilean correspondence
are received. The probabilities, how
ever, are stronger against matters being
precipitately taken up for consideration by
either branch of the national legislature. or
any discussion of the subject Immediately
upon the receipt of the Presidents message.
The usual formal course will be doubtless
followed in each house of congress, by re-
ferring the message and the accompanying
correspondence to the appropriate commit
tees Pending consideration in committee,
the message and correspondence will be
priNted. After the members have thus
had an opportunity to inform
themselves from official history of the
trouble some OF them may desire to be
heard on the floor; but the disposition of
the influential men in both Senate and
House is adverse to any unusual haste in the
consideration of the subject.
LOOKED FOR TODAY.
1t is expected that the promised message Of
the President and all the correspondence re-
lating to our trouble with Chile will be sent
to coHgress tomorrow W. Such il the intention
of the executive this evening, aud unless
the case should suddenly assume some new
phase requiring an addition 10 the message
il will be laid before both houses and read
in both Of them tomorrow afternoon.
THE PUBLIC PRINTING.
In the Senate the bill reported by the joint
committee on printing proposing extensive
revision of the present system OF printing
and distributing public documents is the
special order for tomorrow. In view OF the
fact that the bill was killed IN the House
during the past week the Senate will prob
ably set aside special order and take up
the welI-known We'll and La Abra
claims. which were under consideration
when the Senate last adjourned. It is the
purpose of the friends Of these claims to
keen them steadily before the Senate until
a vote Is reached upon the bill OF which
thew are the subject matter. The printing
hill. II is thought, will be taken up later in
the week, and some time may be devoted
to public building bills and other measures
of a local character, and to the consldera-
tion of the Presidential nominations In
executive session.
NEW RULES OF THE HOUSE.
The newly reported code of rules for the
House of Representatives during the rl1ty-
second Congress will be the principal topic
of discussion in the House during the week,
unless debate on the Chilean controversy
should be unexpectedly precipitated. Owing
to the politicalissue, which may bereylewed
in the anticipated lively debate over the
rules. it cannot be predicted how long
time will intervene between the taking up
and the adoption of the new code.
The appropriation committee Is preparing
an urgent deficiency bill to continue the
work of the census bureau. and it will prob
ably be ready for consideration in the House
The military affairs committee is in
session almost every day on the army ap-
nropriation bill or the military academy
Appropriation bill, and within the next
ten days one Of these measures is expecIeG 70
be on the calendar ready Tor consloerAVi'n
at the will of the House.
