SUBJECTS FOR THE SENATE.
After That Comes the Important
Bond Resolution.
OTHER MEASURES TO COME UP.
BANDS Bill for the Coinage of the
Silver Seigniorage May Cause
Criticism of Carlisle's Course.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 4.-The first two
days of tie present week ID the Senate
will be taken up with the Federal cleo
tions bill to the exclusion of everything
else. except the routine morning business,
which will include only the introduction
of bills. and the presentation of the bond
resolution by Stewart will 60 over until
Wednesday to permit the uninterrupted
continuation of the debate on the elections
bill, upon which a vote will be taken Tues
day afternoon.
The agreement provides that the Senate
shall sit Tuesday until this measure is dis
posed Of There is bare possibility,
however. the debate may not be exhausted
by that time, and that a disposition Of it
will not be accomplished then, as agree
ments of this kind in the Senate are not
always considered invioIate. There is
also en- agreement that the discussion of
the BOND resolution shall be resumed
Wednesday.
1t is possible the Hawaiian resolution
introduced by Turpie from the Foreign
Relations Committee or the House resolu-
tion on the same subject which will prob-
ably reach the Senate during the week,
will receive attention, but it is hardly
piOUuUiC thde niuShs IL oHIs VIII Oc
given it. because other subjects are press
ing for attention.
The Hawaiian debate, BANDS bill for
the coinage of the seigniorage. the O. Neill-
Joy contested election case and perhaps
the Notifications appropriation bill will
occupy the attention of the House during
the week. By an arrangement agreed
| upon just before the House adjourned last
night the Hawaiian debate is extended un-
til 3 80 o'clock Tuesday. the special order
for Its consideration being modified so as
10 include provision for vote upon the
Boutelle resolution. as we'll as the Nc
Creary and Hit resolutions.
AS yet TO Democrat has broken over
party lines on the Haw iian matter, and
AT seems likely the MeCreary resolution
will pass by practically strict party vote.
Holman, however. is still bent upon offer
ing resolution condemning the action of
Stevens. but at the same time repud latin Q
the course OF the administration in at
tempting to restore the deposed Queen.
On Wednesday Bland will call up the
bill for the coinage of the silver seigniorage
TO the amount of over $50. 600. 600. that sum
| to be made Immediately available if neces-
sary to meet the wants of the treasury BY
the issuance of treasury notes similar to
those issued under the act of 1890. Many
of the Democrats colleagues are bitterly
opposed TO the bond issue. and want to re-
lieve the treasury in this way rather than
| issue bonds. and 1t is probable during the
debate there will be a heavy outcropping g
of critcism of the action of Secretary Car
Isle in so far as 1t related to the use of the
proceeds of the sale of bonds to pay the
current expenses of the Government.
The Republicans will take the position
indicated By the minority report that
there is no silver seigniorage in the treas
ury, the bullion against notes issued under
the act of 1890 not having been coined.
They will also take the position that the
silver obligations of the Government,
coined or uncoined, if issued up to the full
coinage value as if silver were at par,
would only be worth about 55 cents on tie
dollar and could only be sustained by the
credit of the Government. Bland expects
the debate upon the bill will not last over
two days.
