WEEK IN CONGRESS
Program for the Coming Few
Days in Both Branches
URGENT DEFICIENCY BILL IN SENATE.
Monday and Saturday in the House. the
District of Columbia Days-The In
dian Appropriation BIZ.
Other Matters.

WASHINGTON, January lit is con-
fdently expected that the urgent def
cheney bill will be out OF the way be-
fore the end of the week that opens IN
congress today. There will be speeches
on the income tax from various repub-
licans, but there will be no effect at
undue delay nor will the republicans
countenance fillibustering. Despite the
opposition Of Mr.. Quay, which has ne
cessitated several roll calls, and the
fight that Mr.. Hill is making, as soon
as the republicans have made the
speeches arranged for, they will have
vote on the bill and will largely sup
port the appropriation. Mr.. Coclirell
expects to see the vote taken by We'd
nesday, and says the bill will have at
least fifty votes out of the total vote Of
eighty-6ve as the senate now stands.
Nicaraguan canal bill is still the un-
finished business. The pension, mill
tary academy and the Notifications ap-
preparation bills have all been report
ed to the senate and Mr.. Cockrell eX-
poets to call them up as fast as possible.
The canal bill, while retaining its right
of way, will probably yield to the ap-
preparation bills when they are called
up. The interest in the senate this
week will centre about the room OF the
finance committee rather than upon
the proceedings of the floor with one
exception Mr.. Gorrnan's promised
speech on the financial question, which
was to have been delivered Saturday
will probably be today.
The Week In tho House.
The business to be considered in the
house this week will be probably ar
ranged by the committee on rules at
meeting to be held today. Two days
are already appropriated, Monday and
Tuesday, to be devoted to the consider
alton of business relating to the Dis
trict of Columbia and Tuesday will be
at least partly occupied with the con-
sideration of the Indian appropriation
bill In the first morning hour de-
voted to committee business the Grout
bill to make oleogenarine, butterlne
and other substitutes of dairy products
AA4SN
which they may be transported will
come up and inevitably precipitate
parlimiamentary contest. There
remains but one hour for its
consideration under the present call
of committees and opponents to the
bill profess their ability to prevent its
passage within that period. Should
the bill fail to reach final vote at this
stage Mr.. Hatch will doubtless appeal
to the committee on rules for special
assignment.
The following is synopsis of the
proceedings of both branches of con-
gress for the past week:
