Special to the RECoRD-UNION.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-This promises
to be a busy week in the House. The
programme arranged by the Committee
OF Rules before the departure of Speaker
Crisp for Asheville, n. c., last night, con-
templated the consideration of public
building bills on the calendar, to be fol-
lowed by the Indian appropriation bills
now under consideration, the suudry civil
and the agricultural appropriation bills.
The Committee on Rules, after much
urging, decided to bring in cloture rule
to secure vote on the bill for a new pub b.
lie building at Chicago to cost $4,000,000.
Two hours will be given tomorrow for
the consideration of the measure, after
which the vote will be taken. The i'm
provements Tor the New York public
buildings are provided for in the sundry
civil bill. The other public building bills
are: Newport, KY, 100000; Cumber-
land, Nd, $4,000; South Omaha, AeO.,
10000; Paterson, n. j.. S25O, 200; Brook
line, Mass, $4,000. and Pottsville, Pa,
500, 900.
The programme as arranged for the
week may be subject to change in case
Springer, Chairman of the Committee on
Banking and Currency, decides, before
the end of the week, to bring forward his
new measure. He has been in constant
consultation with Secretary Carlisle tor
the past week, and is very sanguine that
concessions can be made to the silver
men, which will induce them TO withdraw
their opposition. ON yesterday he ex-
pressed the Intention to bring forward the
modification bill this week, and that it
would pass. This opinion, however, Is
not generally shared by the Democratic
leaders of the House, most of whom do
not hesitate to say they believe all hope
OF currency legislation at this session is
dead.
1t is also possible that the impeachment
of Judge Kicks may be before the House
before the end OF the week, but the fact
that the Committee on Judiciary decided
Friday to reopen the case is interpreted
to mean a delay, which will render any
attempt to push the case against him at
this session abortive.
Next Saturday, by special order, will
be set aside for eulogles on the late SEN
ator Colquitt of Georgia. 1t is not i'm
probabIe for Mr.. Boutelle to attempt to
secure consideration OF his Hawaiian
resolution, and thus debate on this SUBJ
ject precipitated in some form.
The prospect in the Senate this week is
for more talk than accomplishment.
When the Senate adjourned yesterday
the Senate's attitude toward Hawaii, the
proposed recession from the Senate
amendments to the Income tax apprO-
priation, and the Nicaragua bill. all occu-
pied in the different ways, technically
considered, the position of unfinished
business. The income tax Will have the
right of way, by virtue OF its being part
of an appropriation bill. The Hawaiian
,uiI oil ho
cred in the morning hour Monday morn
ing, if not crowded out by the debate on
the income lax. There are known to be
several Senators, most, if not all Of them,
on the Republican side, anxious to ex-
press their views on the Hawaiian prob
lem, and Judging from their private ex-
pressions the remarks to be made will, in
some instances, be very pointed. Senator
Hill is also expected to stand out tor his
Income tax amendment.
The Nicaragua question still holds it's
place at the head OF the calendar for con-
sideration daily after 2 o'clock. Senator
Morgan said to-day that he was still
hopeful OF securing d vote on this bill be-
fore the close of the week, but if there
should be any interruption he may again
be disappointed. Senator Turpie has the
floor for reply to Morgan, and it is ex-
pected that he will make characteristic
speech. There will also be other addresses
on this subject before the vote is finally
taken.
Senator Cockrell expects to ask to have
the fortIticatlons appropriation bill TAX en-
up as soon as the urgent deficiency bill
is out of the way, and thinks there will
be no difficulty in getting it through
during the week.
The friends OF the bankruptcy and Ter
ritorial admission bills are growing anx-
ious concerning the fate of those meas
ures, and are beginning to be apprehen-
sive that time may not be left for their
consideration if the Nicaragua bill be not
soon disposed OF.
The present prospect is against a re-
vival Of the financial and currency ques-
ton in the Senate during the week, but
much will depend upon the action of the
Finance Committee Tuesday and also
upon the attitude of the House OF Repre-
SentatiyeS
