WASHINGTON. ID. C., December 81
10 accordance with its resolution OF ad-
lournment. Congress. will recorvene on
Wednesday OF the present week 1t is
not probable that the Senate will really
get down to close business application
durinR the week. and some OF the most
axperienced observers OF the course of
the Senate under circumstances similar
10 those which will surround the body
when It shall reconvene freely predict
that there VIII not be a quorum during
any part OF the present week, and that
@refore no important business will be
nh-.--faken until Monday, the sth.
me --s generally feel that
thsre IS hS he Senate can do In
the way of pr. ing legislation until
the House -shsli-act upon some OF the
fueasures before IT, The Senate calen-
oar contains lO4 reported measures, but,
there are less than half a dozen of these
that will require any great amount OF
time for consideration. There are a
number OF claim bills. OF which the Nc
Garrahan and the Woodbridge are the
most prominent, which will, in all prob
ability, be disposed of at an early date,
but whether this week or next or later
lstill viii depend altogether upon cir
cnmstances.
The most i'm portant bill on the calen-
dar IS che Federal Elections bill and IL
: possible that it may be taken up for
FPeech- making during the week, though
II Is not likely that. there will be an
efiort to pass the .hih during the week.
The bill increasing the bank circulation
to the full amount Of bonds deposited
IS also still before the Senate, and I'm
condition TO be taken up at any time.
The Senate Is not likely TO discuss
the Hawaiian question while the For
eign Relations Committees investiga.
sion Is incom piete, so that subject bids
