MUCH WORK FOR CONGRESS.
HOPE TO HAVE TWO
 MORE MEN ON THE SCENE.

ming of a Big Fight in the senate-Un-
 certainty in the House.
 Washington, Jan. 27.-The adoption
 by the senate yesterday by majority of two votes of MT. Vests substitute to MT. Aliens Hawaiian resolution is probably continue during this week, and as republicans confidently predict, will end in the passage of resolution condemning the administration for It's part in the Hawaiian affairs MT,
 Vests substitute, which forms the basis of discussion, but which has not yet re-
 ceived final affirmative action, will not be permitted to come to final vote for several days. It prevailed yesterday by the aid of two republican votes. The Vest substitute indorses the policy of non-interference and the Allen reso- lution declares for annexation and the stationing of ships of war at Honolulu. All the populists are in favor of MT. Aliens resolution, and the republicans are said to be of the same mind, with the exception of MT. Pettigrew.
 ItI v VIII JG lMO dCCGoolOllS lu lAlC AC@ publican vote before the week ends in the persons of Messrs Mantle, elected to
 fill the Montana vacancy, and MT. Clark to fill the Wyoming vacancy. MT. Mantle is expected to reach Wash ington early in the week and MT Clark is on his way here. This will give the opponents of MT. Vests substitute the majority and will enable them to pass such a resolution as they may desire. The republicans declare they will not permit any final vote to be taken until they have their full strength in the senate, and they will consume the morn- ing hour each day on the Hawaiian mat ter. MT. Teller, in line with this policy, will continue his speech Monday and will probably be followed by others until such time as they see fit to allow the vote.
 The bankruptcy bill is now the unfin- ished business in the senate, MT. George having called it up yesterday afternoon, although he will give way Monday to al low MT Walcott to secure a vote on the bill to provide for the removal of the southern Ute Indians. Mir George will not have any opposition in the conduct of his bill at the outset, but there are indications that he may not be so sue cessful later. There are one or two res olutions relating to elections in certain states that the populists are anxious to have passed, and it is not improbable that the republicans may unite with them and call these resolutions up to the discontinue of Mir, George and the bankruptcy bill. Under the most favor able circumstances the bankruptcy bill can hardly get through the senate under ten days.
 MT Cockrell expects to report three appropriation bills to the senate this week. The post office, the diplomatic and consular, and the District of Co., lumbia appropriation bills are the ones. There is a general understanding that the bankruptcy bill will be temporarily laid aside whenever MT. Cockrell sees fit to call up an appropriation.
 MT. Cockrell believes that he will get two of these measures out of the way this week.
 The house will begin the week under some uncertainty as to the order in which it will be prosecuted. Although consideration of the bill repeating the differentlal duty on sugar imported from countries paying an export bounty was begun yesterday, and is privileg- ed matter, no assurance can be given as to when it's consideration will be concluded. MT. Wilson has said that he would not at present ask for rule to close debate and members of the com mittee on rules have not been advised by him as to his wishes in this matter. i l. pnas n ance of the discussion, but judging rom the manner in which it started saturday one day will by no means afford suth- cient time for all who wish to speak to be heard
 The committee on rules has agreed to give the Pacific railroad committee Tuesday and Wednesday for the con- sideration of the funding bill, but it is intimated that if MT. Wilson insists on Keeping the sugar duty bill before the house until disposed of the Pacific rail- road bill will be postponed. The com mittee on naval affairs has given notice that it's appropriation bill will be called up Friday.
 Should the Pacific railroad bill get the floor it will be the first time, with one exception, in seventeen years, that a bill directly affecting the Union and Central Pacific companies has come be- | fore the house. The last Pacific railway legislation was the Thurman ll,which provided that both roads should pay into the sinking fund 25 per cent. of their net earnings for the extingulshing of their debts.
 The law has been compiled with, but the sums received from the companies have not been sufficient to pay the in- terest to say nothing of the principal | The Reilly bill, which is the one to be next week, provides for the | adjustment of the debt by applying | the moneys in the sinking fund to the l payment of the first mortgage bonds | and requiring the directors and stock | holders to furnish whatever additional | amount may be necessary. The obli- l gation to the government will then be l continued for a period of fifty years, | the companies paying the interest at the | rate of per cent per annum, with | eo,,o; on0,1a1 pnutooaDtc an tbe foTir 0irNa l
