Washington, Jan. 20.-The Hawaiian
debate that sprang up in the senate
early Saturday and was cut short by
the ceremonies that had been arranged
fon the day in memory Of the late Sen
ator Vance, is likely to be resumed to-
morrow with increased vehemence. The
fact that warship has been sent to
Hawaii Will not cause the Republicans
to recall the Aldrich resolution declara-
ton in favor of this course. Republi-
can senators will endeavor to show that
this step was not taken until it ap-
peared to the authorities here that such
a vessel was not wanted. But at the
same time Senator Lodge and others
will probably contend that this i'm
preston was based upon a misconcep-
ton on the part of our minister of the
purpoit of the statement made to him
by President Dole, of the Hawaiian re-
public. 1t is likely that the discussion
over the Hawaiian matter may con-
sumo the morning hour for several
days.
The chairman of the appropriations
committee hopes to get his conference
report on the urgent deficiency bill with
its income tax provision out Of the
way tomorrow, and he will then call
up and seek to get a vote this week on
the bills making appropriations for the
consular and diplomatic service and for
fortifications and other defenses. The
first named bill will probably be re-
ported to the senate tomorrow.
1t is likely that an effort will be made
u 10 mt. iA
ported by Mr.. Butler on the sixteenth of
this month providing for the re-organ-
ization and increase in the efficiency of
the personnel OF the navy and marine
corps. Officers of the line, who are
| especially benefited by this measure,
have been deluglnG senators with tele-
grams urging them to call this bill up
and give it their support.
Chicago's Modes. Request.
! Chicago will come to the front in the
house Of representatives tomorrow with
the bill to authorize the construction
of public building in that city to cost
| si,O0O,0O0. This BILL in connection with
five other pubic building bills for the
construction, carrying much smaller
amounts for public buildings in Penn
| syivania, New Jersey and Massachu-
setts, will be the special order for Mon
days session by resolution of the COM
rnittee on rules. The adoption of the
resolution by the house will knock out
suspension day." which was probably
the intention of its promoters. Under
the standing rules of the house, tomor-
row should be devoted to the calling III
of bills under suspension of the rules
a dangerous flood gate which the con-
servative leaders usually try to shut off
in some indirect manner. The remain.
der Of the week, aside from the one
hour given every day to reports from
committees, will be devoted to the ap.
preparation bills.
The first committee hour will be occu.
pied by the military committee with the
bill to establish national park on the
Gettysburg battlefield. The Indian ap
preparation bill Is pending, the sundry
civil bill is on the calendar, and tn,
naval and agricultural bills are prac
tically ready to be reported
Senator Jones' currency bill as ont.
lined in these dispatches a week ago
still hangs in mldair. 1t has not beer
introduced for the ample reason thai
the Arkansas senator is unable TO Sc.
cure the pledge of sufficient votes tC
pass It, Numerous conferences have
been held and frequent visits to tn,
white house have been made and elo
quent appeals have been addressed tt
the silver men, but without avail, ant
there is today less hope of the passag,
of bill than when Mr.. Jones first mad,
