CURRENCY THE TOPIC.
New Bills Liable to Crop Out at Amy
Time.

Washington, Jan. 13.-There is no
definite programme for the House This
week. There is a bare possibility that
a new currency bill will be thrown in
to the arena of debate, out it is only
a possibility. The consensus of opin-
ion now seems to be that any proposed
currency legislation, to be successful,
must be initiated at the other end of
the capitol. Tomorrow is District of
Columbia day and ON Tuesday the
House will probably take UP the con-
slderation of the Indian appropriation,
which walls reported and which is the
only appropriation bill on the calen-
dar. If The sundry civil appropriation
bill (the most important of the bills
is not reported before the Indian bill is
disposed of 1.-THE committee on rules
probably will give the evening time to
business from various committees. A
day may be given to the consideration
of the findings of the court of claims.
