WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 4.-The
frst two days of the present week in
the Senate will be taken up with the
Federal Elections bill, to the exclusion
OF everything else except the routine
morning business, which will include
only the introduction of bills and the
presentation Of reports and petiuons.
The Senate has agreed that the dis
cussion Of the bond resolution OF SEN
ator Stewart, which under ordinary
circumstances would have right OF way
up to 3 o'clock OF each day until
disposed Of, shall go over un-
til Wednesday, to permit uninter-
rupted continuation OF the debate on
the elections bill, upon which the vote
will be taken Tuesday afternoon. The
agreement provides that the Senate
shall sit Tuesday until this measure is
disposed Of, and in all probability II will
! be observed. There is bare possibility,
| however, that the debate may not De
exhausted by that time, and that the
disposition Of it will not be accomplished
! then, as agreements Of this kind in the
! Senate are not always considered as in
| yiolatiVe.
There is also an agreement that the
discussion OF the bond resolution shall
be resumed On Wednesday, aud the
week is likely to produce several
speeches upon this question.
Senator Berry has given notice Of an
intention TO call up on Tuesday the bill
concerning the rights Of way granted
TO railroads through the public lands in
| territories; Senator Vest, of his wish
! 10 take up the bill for the increase
Il the accommodations for the
| Government printing Office on Wednes-
day, and Senator Quay, OF desire TO
have an hour set apart on Thursday for
[ eulogies on the late Representative
! Mutchler, but all these orders are liza
! BILE TO change. 1t is indeed quite GER
| tain that Senator Berry's bill will go
| over because of the order concerning
! the elections bill.
Ii is possible that the Hawaiian reso-
luton, introduced by Senator Turpie,
from the Foreign Relations Committee,
or the House resolution on the same
subject, which will probably reach the
Senate during the week, will receive a
| degree of attention, but it Is hardly
probable that IN uch, il any time will be
given it because of the other subjects
pressing for attention.
THE HOUSE.
The Hawaiian debate, Mr.. BANDS
bill for the coinage Of the silver seign-
forage in the treasury, the O'Neill-Joy
contested election case, and perhaps
the Notifications appropriation bill will
occupy the attention Of the House dur
ing the coming week.
By an arrangement agreed upon just
before the House adjourned last night
the Hawaiian debate IS to be extended
! until $3.50 Tuesday, the special order
for Its consideration being modified so
as to include provision for vote upon
| the Boutelle resolution as Welfas the
McCreary and Hit resolution.
The extension Of time will serve the
purpose of definitely disposing OF Ha-
waii in the House, inasmuch as on Tues
day, had the order not been modified, it
was MIR. Boutelle's intention to come to
the front with his resolution. As it
was a privileged question, it could not
have been put aside, and might have re-
suited in additional complications, so
that the Democratic leaders concluded
last night that the shortest way out of
the difficulty would be-to agree TO a
compromise.
As yet DO Democrat has broken over
party lines on the Hawaiian matter, as
far as debate is concerned, and il seems
likely that the McCresry resolution
will pass by practically strict party
vote.
Mr.. Holman, however, is still bent
upon offering his resolution condemn
ing
THE ACTION OF MR.. STEVENS,
but at the same time reprobating the
course Of the administration in at
tempting to restore the deposed Queen.
How much Democratic strength, II
any, this resolution will command,
is still problematlcal. On Wednes-
day Mr.. Bland will call up his
bill for the coinage of the silver
seiguiorage in the treasury (amounting
20 over S55, 900, ,00O), tnat sum to be
made Immediately available if neces-
sary, TO meet the wants of the treasury
by the issue of treasury notes similar TO
! those issued under the act OF 1890. mr..
Bland and many OF his Democratic COL
leagues who are bitterly opposed 10 the
bond issue, want to relieve the treasury
in this way rather than by the issue Of
bonds, and il is probable that during
the debate there will be a
heavy out-cropping OF criticism
OF the action of Secretary Carlisle in so
far as il related to the use of the pro-
ceeds of the sale OF bonds to pay current
expenses OF the government. The Re-
publicans will take the position indi-
Gated by the minority report that there
is no silver seigniorage in the treasury,
the bullion against which notes were
issued under the act OF 1890 not having
been coined.
Mr.. Bland expects that the debate
upon his bill will not last over two days.
On Friday the O'NeiIl-Joy contested
election case "hi Coue w, oHu "a VS.
posed OF on that day, will be followed
by the forti6cation appropriation hll,
it being the intention OF the appropria-
tion committee to crowd the appropria-
tion forward as soon as the opportunity
offers. During the week row Will
probably be precipisated over the pub
lication now going on in the RsEord OF
the House, In serial form, of Professor
George Gunton's Social Economics
