Up Today.
Washington, January 20. The Hawaii
an debate that sprang up in the Senate
Saturday, is likely to be resumedk ktomor-
row with increasing vehemence. The fact
that warshlp was sent TO Hawaii will
not cause the Republicans TO recall the
Aldrich resolution declaring in favor OF
this course, and the Republican Sena-
tors will endeavor TO show that this step
was not taken until it appeared to the
authorities here that such vessel was
not wanted. Senator Lodge and Others
will probably contend that this
is Eased upon a misconception OH the
part of sour minister of the purport of
the statement made him by President
Dole of the Hawaiian Republic.
1t is likely that the discussion over
the Hawaiian matter may consume the
morning hour for several days.
The chairman of the appropriations
committee hopes to get conference re-
port on the urgent deficiency bill. l.with
the income tax provision out of the way,
tomorrow, and will then cali up and
seek to get vote this week on the bills
making an appropriation for consular
and diplomatic services for the fortif-
cations and other defences. The first
named bill will probably be reported to
the. Senate tomorrow. 1T is likely that
an effort will be made this week to get
S,sI 1-r Al l.
Butler providing for reorganization and
increase in the efficiency OF the person
mel of the navy. and the marine corps.
Officers of the line are especially bene-
fitted by this measure, and have been
deluging senators with kilograms urging
them to call the bill up and give it their
support. The bill is the outgrowth Of
much study on the part of the joint
committee that prepared it, and it is be-
lievod the reform suggested will meet the
endorsement of Congress.

Chicago Will come to the front in the
house tomorrow, with a .bill to autho-
rize the construction of public build
ing in that city. to cost "a, ,000,000 This
bill, in connection with five other public
bills for the construction of public build
IuSS III lydulds 4NCW JERSEY &uu
Massachusetts, will be made a special
order for Mondays session by resolu-
tion of the committee or rules.
The adoption of the resolution by the
House (of which there is little doubt)
will knock out suspension day." which
probably was the intention of its pro-
moters. Under the standing rules of the
House, tom orrow should be devoted to
the calling up bills under the suspen-
sion of the rules, dangerous fioodgate.
which the conservative leaders usually
try TO shut off in some indirect manner.
The remainder of the week. aside from
one hour given every day to reports from
committees, will be devoted 90 the ap-
preparation bills.
The first committee hour will be oc-
cupied by the military committee with
a bill to establish national park of
the Gettysburg battlefield. The Indian
appropriation bill is pending, and the
sundry civil bill is on the calendar, and
the naval and agricultural bills are
