house.
The program arranged by the commit
tee on rules before the departure Of
Speaker Crisp for Asheville. N. G. (where
h expects Co remain week or more),
contompIates the consideration Of the pub
lie buildings on tho calender, TO bc fol-
lowed by the Indian appropriation bill
(now under consideration), the sundry
civil and the agricultural appropriation
bills. The committee ON rules, after much
urging, decided to bring In a cloture rule
90 secure vote on the bill for new pub
lie building at Chicago, TO cost "a, 000 600.
Two hours will be given today for the
consideration OF the measure, after which
the vote will be taken. The improve.
ments for the New York public building
are provided for In the sundry civil bill.

The program as arranged for the week
may be subject to change. In case Mr..
Springer. chairman Of the COMMITTEES on
banking and currency, decides before the
end Of the week to bring forward mis- new
measure. He has been in constant con-
sultation with Secretary Carlisle Tor the
past week, and is very sangulne that con-
cessions can be made TO the silver men
which will induce them to withdraw their
opposition.
Yesterday he expressed the opinion that
he would bring forward the modified bill
this week, and that IL will be passed. This
opinion however, Is not generally shared
\ a.. - L..
most of whom do not hesitate to say thar
they believe all hope of currency legisla-
ton at this session Is dead.
1t is also possible that the resolution for
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 delay which
will render abortivo any attempt TO push
the case against him at this session.
IL is not improbable that Mr.. Boutelle
will attempt 90 secure consideration Of his
Hawaiian resolution, and thus debate on
this subject Will be preoip,tated In some
form.

Inents TO the income tax appropriation
and the Nicaragua bill. all occupied In
different ways, technically considered the
position of unfinished business.
The income tax question will have the
right of way by virtue of Its being "A part

the Republican side, anxious to express
their views on the Hawaiian problem, and,
judging from their private expressions,
the romarks to be made will, in some in
stances, be very pointed.
Senator Hill Is also expected to stand
out for his income tax amendment The
Nicaraguan question still holds its place
at the head of the calendar for considera-
tion daily after clock Senator Morgan
said yesterday that he was still hopeful OF
securing vote on this bill before the
close of the week, but II there should be
many interruptions he may again be dis
appointed.
Senator Turpie has the floor for reply
TO Senator Morgan aud is expected to
make one of his characteristic speeches.
There will also be her addresses on this
subject before the vote Is finally taken.
Senator Cockrell expects 10 ask To have
the fortilcations appropriation bill taken
up as soon as the urgent deficiency bill Is
out of tho way, and thinks there will be
no difficulty in getting IL through during
the week.
rhc friends of the bankruptcy and the
territorial admission bills are growing

meeting tomorrow, and also upon the atti.

our naval vessels necessary, unless we are
prepared to enter upon policy and course
of conduct violative Of our rule OF inter-
national law and utterly unjustifable.
"All who take any interest In the quos-
tion should keep in view the fact that Ha-
waii is entirely independent Of us, and
that I'm its-relations TO US ,t 10 n foreign

ldlu, not because there has been any
change OF the policy Of the administra-
tion, and not because there seems Co be
any imminent necessity for its presence
there.
The vessel has been sent In precise ac-
cordance with the policy OF the admins
tration In every case OF the kind, and from
motives OF extreme caution, and because
there Is possibility that disturbances
may be renewed which may result In dan

citizens entitled TO the protection OF the
