Repeater to the Front.
GLANDS SILVER COINAGE BILL.


1t VIII be Brought Up In the House on
wsdnesday--The Federal Elections Re-
ps.ier to be Voted ON Tomorrow in
the Senate.
WASHINGTON, Feb b-The first two
lays 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 petitions. The senate has agreed that
the discussion of the bond resolution Of
Senator Stewart, which under ordinary
circumstances would have right Of way
up to o'clock of each day until disposed
of, shall go over until Wednesday to per-
NIT the uninterrupted continuation OF the
debate on the elections bill, upon which
the vote will be taken tomorrow after
noon.
The agreement provides that the senate
shall sit tomorrow until this measure IL
disposed Of, and in all probability 1t will
be observed. There is bare possibility,
however, that the debate may not be eN-
hausted by that time, and that the dis
position of 1t will not be plished
then, az agreements of this kind In the
senate are not always considered as In
violative. There is also an agreement
that the discussion of the bond resolution
shall be resumed on Wednesday, and the
week is likely to produce several speeches
upon this question
1t is possible that the Hawaiian resolu-
ton 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 degree OF
attention, but it is hardly probable that
much time will be given it, because of the
other subjects pressing for attention.
! The Hawaiian debate, Mr. BANDS bill
for the coinage of the silver seigniorage
in the treasury the o'Neill-.Ioy contested
election case and perhaps the Notifications
appropriation bill will occupy the atten-
ton of the house during the week. By an
arrangement agreed upon just before the
house adjourned Saturday night the Ha.
waiian debate is to be extended until 8:3t
tomorrow afternoon, the special order fol
Its consideration being modified so as Il
include provision for vote upon thu
Boutelle resolution, ms well as the Nc
1 Creary and Hit resolutions.
4 The extension of the time will serve TIL
1 purpose of definitely disposing of Hawai-
) in the house iuasmuch as tomorrow, hat
the order not been modified, IL was Mr.
Boutelle's intention TO come to the from
with his resolution. As it was a priv
legged question it could not have been pu
aside and might have resulted in add
tional complications, SO that the Demo
cratic leaders concluded that the shortes
way out of the difficulty would be I
agree to the compromise.
As vet no Democrat has broken owe
party lines Of the Hawaiian matter, a
for as debate is concerned, and it seem
likely that the McCreary resolution wi
pass by practically party vote. Nj
Holman, however, is still bent upon o
fering his resolution condemning tn
action of Mr.. Stevens, but at the sam
time reproving the cours of the adminii
tration in attempting to restore the d,
posed queen
On Wednesday Mr. Bland will call IL
his bill for the coinage of the silver seigI
forage in the treasury amounting TO owe
"A SIS, 900, 000) that sum to be made immed
: ately available II necessary to meet th
