LOTS OF FUN IS PROMISED.
DEBATE TO COME UI ON THE HA- WAIIAA AFF-1IItS IN THE SEN ATE.

Lodge Win Continue His Debate on the,
 Question-It Will be Interesting.
 Washington, Jan, 6.-The present
 week in the senate will probably be
 remarkable for what the senate will
 fail to do than for anything that may
 be done The most significant feature
 Will be the precipitation ot the dtha te
 that will grow out of the proposition in
 the urgency deficiency bill for the col-
 lection of the income tax. This will rot
 come up. however. until we'll towards
 the latter part of the week. There will
 be a continuance of the incidental Ha-
 Waiian discussion growing out of the
 resolution of MT. Lodge requesting the
 president to inform the senate why | this government has withdrawn our
 ships from Hawaiian waters, provided
 MT Lodge and those acting in concert
 With him are able to carry out their | program. The resolution which was non
 debated during all the morning hour
 Friday went to the calendar and can
 only be taken up on motion. it is MT. Lodges intention to move to take the
 resolution from the table tomorrow,
 and in this he will have some democrat
 ic assistance, for MT. Palmer, among
 others, has expressed a desire to address
 the senate on the subject. Should there
 be no quorum voting it is said that point will be raised.
 It is rather expected in administra- ton circles that a batch of Hawaiian l correspondence now awaiting transmits sion to congress will negative some of the points made in the debate as to the attitude of Great Britain On the third
 Of this month MT. Peffer gave notice
 that he would tomorrow, after the routine business. call up for considera- tion the senate bill granting service pension to soldiers and sailors of the
 war of the rebellion, and this may to a. small extent antagonize MT. Lodges
 resolution. There is a well grounded belief, however, that MT. Lodge will succeed in continuing the debate which he on Friday characterized as a "stun- ming success"
 The Nicaraguan canal bill, which seems to be doomed to interminable de- bate, still remains on the calendar as the unfinished business. and Mr. Mit- chell of Oregon has the floor to address the senate on that subject tomorrow. But little business will be transacted Tuesday, for immediately after the morning hour the senate will listen to speeches in honor of the late Senator Colquitt of Georgia.
 For these reasons the urgency defi- ciency bill will not be reported to the senate earlier than Wednesday, or at all events cannot be called up for con7 sideration before that time. Once up a debate will commence that will continue through the greater part of next week at the most conservative estimate This time will be consumed if the bill carries only the provision for the col- lection of the income tax but if the democrats should attempt to engraft upon the measure any tariff legislation the scope of the discussion will be en- larged to such an extent that no one can foresee when and how it will end. The income tax alone will cause much debate, and the republicans have quiet- ly given the democrats to understand that no vote can be taken on this bill after the three vacancies in the western states have been filled, and the repub- lican member from North Carolina to succeed MT. Jarvis has taken his seat.
 The democratic leaders have been hopeful that the republicans would per- init them to make some changes in the tariff law by means of an amendment to the deficiency bill, but they now know there can be no such good for tune in store for them
 The action of almost all the continen- tai governments of Europe has increas- ed the anxiety of the administration tu do something to remove the bone of contention-the discriminating duty on sugar imported from those countries that pay an export bounty. A commits tee representing the defnocratfc leaders called upon Messrs. Allison and Aldrich and consulted with one or two other re- publicans and presented the case to them in the hope that they would con- sent to such a change as would elimi- nate this discriminating duty of one- tenth of a cent a pound from the pres- ent law. No encouragement was given those who sought the conference. Re- publicans admit that changes should be made in the bill, but do not think that this one item would suffice to give the country what is needed, Other changes in existing rates were suggest ed by them as necessary to be coupled with this. In short general scheme of revision looking to an increase of rates that would, as these republicans said, give the treasury sufficient money -o run the government.
 Finding themselves able to accom- olish what they desired only through m agreement that was, as they under stood it, antagonistic to democratic principles, the democratic leaders have abandoned the idea of attempting to 'epeal the obnoxious clause in the su- gar schedule and will report the bill without any proposed changes in the ,ariff law.
 The debate that will begin when MT Jockrell calls up the deficiency bill will 9e interesting and lively. MT. Hill will figure to a great extent in the natter and will have some enthusiastic ollowers.
