other questions which may press for con-
siders,ion during the week. are the Chi

Senator Morgan has said that he will
probably ask the senate to consider the
treaty In the latter part Of the week. and

viii be q little trouble in securing an
understanding whereby these questions

considered important. The pensions and
fortifcations appropriations bills are also
on the calendar. and can be considered At
any time, but they Will not b pressed for
the present.
The tsrih bill win b the order after 2
o'clock each day for the week, or after the
morning business shall be disposed OF, and
there will b two hours each day for the
consideration Of miscellaneous questions
which properly belong to that hour. Sew

man Of the finance COMMITTEES, will lead

Mcpherson and Hill, Oh the Democratic
side. will speak early in the week. and 1t Is
known that on the Republican side Of the
chamber Senators Hale, Lodge. Gallon,
Hawiey, Morrill, and Mitchell of Oregon
are prepared to speak, but it 10 not prob

Indeed, II these speeches should prove
. long, a. many Of them will. II il likely
that for the present not more than one will
b. heard in day. Senator PETER Is also
expected to speak on the tariff bill this
week or nett
An exciting week 10 promised In the
house. The struggle over the O'Neiil-J oy
contested election case will b resumed
4 tomorrow. Although IL has besn appar-
ent since this case has been up that at
least dozen members were opposed to
seating the Democratic contestant, the
partisan feeling engendsred during the
last few days of the filibuster has served to
drive those who were luke warm into
camp. and while they will probably not
vote for Q'Neill they will at least lend
their votes and presence to make the me-
cessary quorum to seat the st. Louis
Democrat. The English Hilborn contest
viii follow, and 30 far - known the Demo-
Gratis are united on the proposition to seat
English. the contestant.
On Tuesday, according TO the notice
served by Bland on Friday. he will ask
the house to consider tho presidents veto
Of the silver seigniorags bill. and viii
move to pass the bill over his veto. As IL
requires two-thirds vote to override the
objections OF the president, there 10 little
hope that Mr.. BANDS motion can be car
RED. But nevertheless it Is expected
that the debate win be Of an exceedingly
lively character. The silver men are in .
state of revolt. and they avow their pur-
pose 10 rake the administration fore and
