More Talk Than Work the Present
Indication.
IMPORTANT MEASURES ON DECK
Senator Hill to Speak on the In
come Tax Question, and SEN
ator Morgan on the Nicaragua
Bill-The Currency Problem to
Be Up in the House, But
There is Little Hope Of Bill
Being Passed.

WASHINGTON, D. c., January co.
The prospect In the Senate this week is
| for more talk than plishment.
When the Senate adjourned yesterday
the Senate's attitude toward Hawaii,
the proposed recession from the Senate
amendments to the income tax appro-
priatlon, and the Nicaragua bill, all oc-
cuped in the different ways, technically
considered, the position of unfinished
| business.
The income tax question will have
the ght OF way by virtue OF its being
part Of an appropriation bill. The
Hawaiian question will In all probabil-
ty be considered in the morning hour
Monday morning, ii not crowded out by
the debate on the income tax There
are known 10 be several Senators, most,
if not all, OF them on the Repu blican
side, anxious TO express their views on
THE HAWAIIAN PROBLEM,
and Judging from their private ex-
preSsons, the remarks to be made will
In some instances be very pointed.
Senator Hill is also expected to stand
out for his income tax amendment
The Nicaraguan question still holds
it's place al the head Of the calendar for
consideration daily after two o'clock.
Senator Morgan said to-day that he
was still hopeful Of securing vote on
| this bill before the close OF the week,
bnt If there should be many interrup.
tions he may again be disappointed.
| Senator Turpie has the floor for reply
to Senator Morgan, and is expected TO
| make
ONE OF HIS CHARACTERISTIC SPEECHES.
There will also be other addresses on
this subject before the vote is finally
taken.
Senator Cockrell expect TO ask to have
the Notifications appropriation bill
taken up as soon as the urgency detic-
iency 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 territorial ad-
| mission bills are growing anxious con-
corning the fate OF these measures and
are beginning TO be apprehensive that
time may not be left for their consider
| alton if the Nicaragua bill be not soon
disposed Of.
The present prospect is against a re-
viVal of the financial and currency
| question in the Senate during the week,
but much will depend upon the action
of the Committee on Finance at its
meeting Tuesday. and also upon the
attitude OF the House OF Representa-
tiveS. This promises TO be
BUSY AND IMPORTANT WEEK
in the House. The programme ar
ranged by the Committee on Rules be-
fore the departure OF Speaker Crisp for
Ashevlle, n. c., last ght, (where he
expects TO remain for a week or more. }
contemplates the consideration of the
public building bill on the calendar, TO
be followed by the Indian appropriation
bill, now under\consderation the sun
dry civil and the agricultural appropri-
alton bills. The Committee on Rules,
with much urging. decided to
bring cloture rule to secure
| a vote OF the bill for new public build
| ing at Chicago, TO cost 81, 600, 600. Two
| hours will be given tomorrow for the
consideration or the measure, alter
| which the vote will be taken. The i'm
| proyementS for the New York public
building are provided for in the sundry
civil bill The other public building
bills, six in number, are as follows:
Newport, KY, 500, 900; Cumberland,
Md, SIS, 900; South Omaha, Neb., $500,
600; Patterson, n. j., $3.50, 600; Brook
line, Mass, $4,000, and PottsviIle, Pa,
! 500, 900.
THE PROGRAM FOR THE WEEK
NAV be subject to change in case Mr.
Springer, chairman OF the Committee
on Banking and Currency, decides be-
fore the end of the week 10 bring Tor
ward his new measure. He has been tn
constant consultation with Secretary
Carlisle for 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 yes
| terday he expressed the opinion that
be would bring forward the modified
hill this week and that 1t would pass.
| This opinion, however. is not generally
shared by the Democratic leaders OF
the House, most of whom do not hesi-
| tate TO say that they believe all nope
OF currency legislation at this session Is
dead. II is also possible that the reso-
| lution 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 Fri
dav to reopen the case is interpreted to
mean a delay which will render any
attsmpt to push the case against him al
| this session abortIve.
Next Saturday, by special order
will be set aside for eulogies on the late
Senator Alfred II. COlquitt, of Georgia
II is not improbable that Mr.. BouteIle
will attem pit to secure consideration OF
his Hawaiian resolution aud thus oe-
bate on this sub bject preclDitated In some
| form.
