WASHINGTON, Jan. 81 The prospect in
the senate this week is for more talk than
accomplishment. When the senate ad-
1ourned on Saturday the senates attitude
towards Hawaii, the proposed recession
from the senate amendments to the income
tax appropriation, and the Nicaragua bill
all occupied in different ways, technically
considered, the position Of unfinished busl-
ness.
The Income tax question has the right Of
way by virtue Of its being part Of an ap-
preparation bill The Hawaiian question
will in all probability be considered, II
not crowded out by the debate on the in
come tax. Senator Hill is expected to
stand out for his income tax amendment.
The Nicaragua question still holds its
place at the head Of the calendar for con-
sderation daily after 3 o'clock. Senator
Morgan said today that he was still hope
fi,l OF securing a vote on this bill before
the close of the week, but II there should
be many interruptions he may again be
disappointed. Senator Turpie hns the
expected to make one of his characteristic
speeches. There will also be other ad.
dresses on this subject befo re the vote is
finally taken.
Senator Cookrell expected to ask TO havs
the Notifications appropriation bill taken
up as soon as the urgent deficiency bill is
out of the way, and thinks there will be
no difficulty in getting it through during
the week -....z
The friends Of the bankruptcy and terri.
torial admission bills arc growing anxious
concerning the fate of these measures, and
are beginning to be apprehensive that timo
may not bo left for their consideration IL
tho Nicaragua bill be not soon disposed of.
The present prospect Is against a revival
Of the financial and currency question in
the senate during the week, but much will
depend upon tho action of tho committee
OH finance at Its meeting tomorrow and
also upon the attitude of tho house of rep.
rosentatiyes.
This promises to be busy and import
ant week in the house. The program ar
ranged by the committee on rules before
the departure Of Speaker Crisp for Ashe-
Vile, N. c., Saturday night (where he ex-
poets to remain week or two) contem-
plates the consideration OF the public build
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 closure rule to secure
vote on the bill for new public build
Ing at Chicago to cost o., 100000. The inn
proyements for the New York public build
ing are provided for In the sundry civil
bill. The other public building bills, six
in number, are as follows: Newport, Ky,
100000; Cumberland, Md, s75, 900; South
Omaha, Neb., 500, ,000 Paterson, N. j.,
$250,000; Brooklins, Mass, $76, 100; Potts
| vile, Pa, $4,000.
The program as arranged for the week
may be subject to change in case Mr.,
Springer, chairman Of the committee on
banking and currency, decides before the
end Of the week to bring forward his new
measure. He has been in constant con-
sultatlon with Secretary Carlisle for the
past week, and is very sanguine that con-
| ccssions can be made to the silver men
] which will induce them to withdraw their
| opposition. He expresses the opinion that
he would bring forward the modified bill
this weok, and that 1t will pass This
opinion, however, Ii not generally shared
by the Democratic leaders of the house,
most Of whom do NOT hesitate TO say that
they believe all hope Of currency legis!a-
tion 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 tho
week, but the fact the committee on ju-
dietary decided on Friday to reopen the
case is interpreted to mean delay which
will render any attempt to push the case
against him at this session abortive.
1t is not improbable chat Mr.. Boutelle
will attempt to secure consideration of his
Hawaiian resolution, and thus a debate on
this subject precipltated in some form.
