WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The week in
the Senate will open with the renewal OF
the discussion OF the Hawaiian question,
which promises to become the subject OF
several very animated speeches before 1t
shall be definitely disposed Of. The
adoption of the Vest amendment to the
Allen resolution, instead OF discouraglng
the antagonists Of the Administration,
had apparently the effect Of spurrlng
them on to even more strenuous and pro-
nounced opposition. They express them
selves as hopeful of reversing the verdict
OF Saturday when the next vote shall be
reached, which shall be on the final adop-
ton OF the substitute.
Senator Teller will inaugurate the dis
cussion for the work with a continuance
of his speech begun yesterday. The
Hawaiian question will be confined to the
first hours of the daily session, and will,
at the expiration OF its time, give way to
other subjects.
The bankruptcy bill has been given the
position OF unfinished business, and Will
occupy attention for the greater part OF
the week. Senator George viii inaugur-
ate the debate with speech on MONDAY.
lie expects the measure 10 encounter
very pronounced opposition, and in this
will not be disappointed, as u majority OF
the Eastern and y Northern Senators will
be found TO be against the bill. When
the bill is disposed OF, in whatever way,
the Senate Will probably proceed TO con-
slider the pooling bill. If the threatened
conflict between this and the Territorial
admission bills should occur. majofity
OF the Republican Senators would sup
port faction favorable TO taking up the
pooling bill, and would probably turn the
tables III It's favor.
There are no appropriation bills now
before the Senate, but three of those ra-
manning unacted on, viz: the District OF
Columbia, the diplomatic ana the post
Office bills, Will De reported during The
week, and it is Senator Cockre relPs pur-
pose TO cali them up Immediately, with
the view OF getting them out OF the way
as soon as possible. ILIs he will do Lo
the displacement of either the Hawaiian
resolution or bankruptcy Dill.
Secretary Carlisle has ABOUT completed
the reorganization CI the office OF the
Supervising Architect Of the Treasury,
and 1t is understood viii soon select i
successor to Mr.. O'ROurke. The indica-
tiOus are now that none OF the applicants
Tor the place Will receive the appointment
and that Mir. Carlisle will probably ten
der the position TO John Carrere, OF the
firm OF Carrere Il Hastings, II Broad
way, New York. 1t IS not known
whether Mr.. Carrere would accept the
appointment, but II is thought lie can
have IL II he so desires.
The programme in the House for the
coming week will be subject to revision
in case President Cleveland sends spec
lal message % Congress calling Tor legIS-
lation 10 protect the gold reserve
Speaker Crisp, who has been i'll Ashe-
vile, \. c., Ter the benefit OF his health,
is expected tomorrow or tuesday, and IL
special legislation Is demanded by Sir.
Cleveland TO meet the crisis, au elIort un-
dOubtedIy viii be made to comply with
his wishes.
Tomorrow, under the rule, is District
of Columbia day, but vote will prOba-
bly, be taken on the bill TO repeal the diff
terential imposed on sugar by bounty
paying countries before district matters
get the right-Oi-way.
1t Is the present intention to give Tues
day and " eQnesd2y to the report from
the Pacific Railroad Commission 10 fund
the debt OF the Union Pacific, but as pro-
viously stated, this bill depends on the
Presidents wishes. The remain der OF
the week will be devoted to the consid-
Grafton Of the naval and agricultural ap-
preparation bills. Eight appropriation
bills have already been disposed o.. Be-
sides the two mentioned there are yet TWO
unaccounted on legislation and the gem
eral deficiency bills.
THE INCOME TAX.
Members of Congress who believe that
the income tax is an equitable method Of
raising revenues are gratited at the un-
eXpectedIy good showing of the pre-
liminary canvass made by the collCcLC rs
of internal revenue at the direction OF
Secretary Carlisle. They believe that the
greater the amount realized from this tax
tie more popular it viii become and the
more firmly rooted as part OF the policy
of the Government.
Representative McAtillin of Tennessee
says il q large per cent. OF the revenue of
the Government is derived from this
plan, any attempts to repeal 1t by the eX-
piratiCn OF the Eye-year limit fixed in the
Wilson bill will be exceedingly unpopu-
lar; that the greater revenue derived from
it the greater with the probability OF its
re-enactment at the end OF its term. Be
fore the proposition to tax incomes was
before Congress, the profit 10 be derived
from it was estimated at first at Sl5 Og0
600 10 Sic, 100000. Later the estimates OF
the committee were raised to $50, ,0JO,UJ0.
Later Marshall OF Missouri, who has
given more study 10 the theory and his
tory OF the income tax than any other
man in the House, did not place the total
below $50, 100000.
From the results Of the canvass OF the
internal revenue bureau 1t appears that
Mr.. Hall was more nearly correct than
the other forecaSters. lie SAYS that the
income tax may not yield more than S5O,-
600, 900, and it is known that the Treasury
Department officials 90 not place its re-
suit below that mark. The showing made
10y thirty-SiX of the siXty-three districts
gives ground for the estimate that about
800, 600 persons and corporations will CO H.
tribute to the treasury by this plan.
