Washington City, Jan. 27.-The pro-
gramne In the house for the coming
week Will be subject to revision in
case president Cleveland sends a spe-
eial message 10 congress calling for
legislation 10 protecT the gold reserve.
Speaker crisn who has been at Aslle-
vile. N c., Apr the benefit of his
health. is expected Tomorrow or Tues
day. and If special legislation Is de-
rnanded by Mr.. Cleveland To meet the
crisis. an effort undoub bteily will be
made TO comply with his wishes. To-
morrow. under the rule, is District of
Columbia day, but a vote will prob
ably be taken on the bill 10 repeal
the differential imposed on sugar
By bounty-raying countries before Dis
trict matters get the right ef way.
II is the present intention to give
Tuesday and Wednesday to the re-
port from the Pacific railroad corlrass-
sion TO fund the debt Of the Union Pa
eific, but, as previously stated. this
bill depends on the presidents wishes.
The resllaipder OF the week will be
devoted to consideration OF the nzaral
and agricultural appropriation bills.
Eight appropriation bills have ALREADY
been disposed of. Besides the two men
toned there are yet unacsed on only
the legislative and general deficiency
bills.
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 it shall be
definitely disposed OF. The adoption of
the Vest amendment to the Allen reso-
luton, instead OF disceuraging the
antagonists Of the administration had
apparently the effect of spurring them
to even more strenuous and pronounced
opposition. They express themselves
as hopeful of reversing the verdict of
Saturday when the next vote shall be
reached. which shall be on the final
adoption Of the substitute. Senator
Teller VIII begin the discussion for the
week with a Continuance of his speech
begun yesterday. The Hawaiian uues-
aon viii be confined 10 the first hours
of the daily sessions. and will, at the
expiration of its time. give way TO
other subjects.
The bankruptcy bill has been given
.the position OF unfinished business. ana
viii OCCUPY attention for the greater
part OF the week. Senator George will
bsgin the debate with a speech on
Monday. He expe4s the measure to
encounter very pronounced opposition.
and In this will not be disappointed
as a majority OF the Eastern and North
ern senators will be found to be against
the bill. When the blu Is disposed of
In whatever way. the senate will prob
ably proceed to consider the pooling
bill. III the threatened conflict between
this and the territorial bills should oe-
cur. majority of the Republican SEN
ators would support faction favora bic
to taking up the pooling bill. and would
probably turn the tables In its favor.
There are no appropriation bills now
before the senate. but three OF those re-
naming unacted on. viz: The District
OF Columbia. the diplomatic and the
postoftice bills. will be reported dur
ing the week. and IL Is Senator Cock
refl's purpose to call them up fnrue-
diateiy, with the view of getting them
out of the way as soon as possible
This he viii DO to the displacement of
either the Hawaiian resolution or the
bankruptcy bill.
