A BUSY WEEK.
FORECAST OF THE sENATEs AND
HOUSES WORK.
Senator Davis and the Monroe Doc
trfne-The Cuban SituatfOn-Ap-
preparation and other Bills in
the House.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-The pros
poets are for busy week in the SEN
ate, but outside of the fact that Sen
ator Davis will speak on Monday in
support of the Monroe doctrine. and
that the appropriation bills which have
been reported will be taken up and
probably disposed of. no definite fore
cast of the proceedings can be given.
Senator Davis speech is expected to
be strong and logical expression of
the views Ot the more advanced advo-
Gates of the Monroe doctrine.
There are three of the appropriation
bills on the senate calendar, but it is
not believed that any of them. unless
it be the consular and diplomatic bills.
will arouse any prolonged debate. 1t
is possible the diplomatic bill may
not excite debate. This bill affords
an opportunity to discuss foreign af-
fairs generally, and it is very rarely
allowed to pass without senators avail
ing themselves of this opening to dis
cuss diplomatic questions. 1t is also
possible that the pension bill will be
taken advantage of to discuss the pen
sion question at some length.
The military academy appropriation

be taken up.
The Cuban resolution has been given
the place of precedence after the ap-
preparation bills, but it is not yet GER
tain that this subject will be taken up
seriously until the senators who may
wish to speak upon it shall have OPP
portunity to prepare themselves. Sem
ator CAN will speak on the subject,
if he succeeds in getting it up and pos
sibly one or two other senators will
be heard. The senate committee have
been unusually active since the holt
days with the consequence that there
is an accumulation of business suffi-
cient to cover twenty-seven pages of
the calendar, embracing subjects in
which all the senators are interested.
There is, therefore, a general desire
to get to work on the calendar. and
the probabilities are that with the ap-

In the HOuse.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-The most
of the time of the house this week will
be taken up with the consideration of
appropriation bills. The agricultural
bill which was taken up yesterday
should be disposed of tomorrow unless
a prolonged debate should be preCipi-
tated on the question of seed distri-
button by the agricultural department.
The Indian and army appropriation
bills are ready and the committee ex-
pect to have the executive, legislative
and judicial bill reported by Wednes-
day. The foreign affairs committee will
call up the resolution to cenSure Am
bassador Bayard as soon as those In
charge of the appropriation bills, which
have the right of way, afford an Oppor-
tunity to do so. The foreign affairs
committee is also working on a Cuban
resolution and it may possibly be re-
ported to the house this week. The
trend of opinion in the committee ia
vors resolution expressing it as the
sense of congress that a state of war
exists in Cuba and requesting the pres
ident to issue his proclamation recog-
nizing the insurgents as belligerents.
The report of the contested election
case of Van Horne VS.. Tarsney from
the Fifth Missouri district which has
been submitted to the house, can be
called up by the committee at any time
as it is a matter of higher privilege
than an appropriation bill. The report
is in favor of the contestant, but mi
nority report will be filed on Tuesday
recommending that the case be recon-
mitted and the testimony reopened.

Quay DiSpeIs All Doubts as to His
Position.
PITTSBURG, Pa, Feb. Ex-senator
Quay has dispelled all doubts as to the
sincerity of the movement in favor of
his nomination for the presidency at
the st. Louis convention, through an
interview with Frank D. Robinson of
Cleveland made public this evening.
Mr. Robinson, who is the representa-
tive of NJ. w. Hanna, Ex-Governor Nc
Kinleys right-hand man, called on
Senator Quay at his. home in Beaver to-
day and pointedly asked the latter
what his real position in the presiden
tial race is. The query was brought
about by the numerous statements that
Senator Quay's candidacy is merely a
bluff. Mr. Robinson tonight said the
senator received him cordially, and in
answer to the leading question, unhes-
itatingly and without qualification, said
his candidacy was bona fide in every
respect, and that he was in the fight
to win. Should be fail it would not be
because his friends would not work
faithfully to attain their end. Mr..
Robinson was pleased with the out
spoken way in which Senator Quay met
him, but says the Mckinley forces will
be nothing daunted and will not wa
yer in their allegiance to him

Prof, farmer is More Convinced
Than Ever.
NEW YORK. Feb. 16.-Professor R.
L. Garner of Roanoke, Va, who was
dispatched last summer on a second
trip to the jungles of Africa by the
African Research society of Chicago,
arrived today on the Etruria, He went
for the purpose of completing his mon
key alphabet and learning more about
the language of monkeys. Professor
S. H. Peabody of the University of
Chicago was one of the hackers of the
enterprise. Professor Garner returns,
he says, with much new information.
He has in his portfolio a Photograph Of
the most brutal gorilla man in Africa.
This gorilla man would be called in
Australia bushman
Professor Garner considers that his
mission in perfecting himself in the
monkey tongue has been largely ac-
complished.y
Il am convinced that monkeys talk
to each other" says he, "and that
some of them possess a higher intelli-
gence and a greater f1uency of Ian
gssage than many of the African ma
lives"

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-Secretary

paper reports of the renewed distur-

sent from Nagasaki, Japan, and is in
the following words:
photographic information has been

CHRISTIANA, Feb. 16.- Widespread
as is the interest over the whereabouts
of hansen, an interest extending to-
day over the whole world wherever
the telegraph and cable can reach, 1t
can nowhere be more keenly felt than
in this city, whence the expedition of
the Fran sailed in 1898. Having IN
mind that the first news of himself
that the explorer could by any posi-
bflity transmit would probably
be directed to the wife, a representa-
tive of the Associated Press has called
upon Mrs hansen to inquire Whal
news she had of her husbands Wnere-
aboutS. She had received no word IroHl
her husband directly. But she is pro-
foundry hopeful that the news which
first came from Jakutsk and has since
been corroborated from other sources,
is authentic and that DIR. hansen has,
in fact, solved the secret of the north
pole and is now safely emerging from
the mystic isolation of the frozen re-
gions
1t must be added, however, that
there is a reservation of doubt in Mrs.
Nansen's mind. despite the hoPefulness
that buoys her up. The absence of di-
rect news to herself leaves the room
for this doubt. She will not allow her
self to take assurance of her hus-
bands good fortune until she hears it
from himself She fears the possible
fall from this high point Of happiness
should there be subsequent disappoint-
ment
Scientists here, whose sympathy is
with DIR. hansen and the objects of his
expedition. believe from the news re-
ceived that hansen has really reached
the coast of Siberia and is returning
from the pole.

HAS IT'S REGRETS.

LONDON. Feb. 1.-THE Daily News
in an editorial regrets that such a
grave subject as Venezuela had not
been raised by a more influential man
than L. Atherly Jones' the Radical MEM
Der, who moved an amendment ex-
pressing the regard of an assurance
that the Venezuela boundary dispute
would be submitted to arbitration.
mo Liberal wishes to pick a quarrel
with Lord Salisbury over Venezuela, .
the Daily News continues. Therefore
it is impossible that the house of COM
mons should adopt the Jones amend
ment. 1t would be a virtual vote of
censure, which would. in the present
case, be unpatriotic. While the coun-
try would, we hope welcome from Mr..
Balfour an announcement of a general
arbitration. with proviso that in the
event of the award going against us.
England should purchase the settled
districts"

THE FRENCH CRISIS.

LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE special dis
patches from Paris all agree as to the
gravity of the French crisis. According
to a semi official statement Borgeoise,
the prime minister, had q conference
with President Faure Sunday after
noon and explained that the conflict
of the senate with the chamber had
assumed a character that a resignation
OF the ministry would not solve the
crisis The cabinet had, therefore de-
cided to await the further expression
of the chamber, the ministers agreeing
that they can no more yield to the
senate tan they can disregard the
confidence of the chamber.
A dsspatch from Paris to. the Post
says: lHThe real origin of the crisis is
the determination of the senate to
overtfigow the Radical ministry or to
die in the attempt. Not since Mai
Seiz has France been on the brink of
SO extensive an upheaval,

which says.
The Transvaal government considers
Colonial Secretary Chamberlain pro-
posed home rule a prepOSterous and ut
terly unavoidable scheme. 1t may almost
he accepted as certain that President
Kruger will not visit England, but his
presence there would be a virtual recog-
milton of Englands right to interfere in
the international affairs of the Transvaal.

WARLIKE COMMENT.
A Few More wild and WooIIy Com.

A Few More Wild and WooIIy Com
ments From Caracas.
NEW YORK. Feb. ia dispatch to
the World from Caracas, Venezuela,
says:
The story of an English vessel taking
soundings at the mouth of the Orinoco
provokes much warlike comment. The
people of Ciudad Bolivar, the capital
of Guiana, say the vessel is there for
the purpose of determining whether
warships are needed to hold the ORR
noco, which is Venezuela's strong
strategic position.
The government has been warned
that as England is increasing her force
of men and cannon at the stations on
the Amacuro and Cuyini rivers, the
latest move menaces the integrity Of
the nation. The press says now is the
time to teach EngIand's arrogance a
lesson.
The suggestion to arbitrate the
Uruan incident meets opposition here
1t is believed that the jurisdiction of
the disputed territory should be settled
first, otherwise it would be an admis-
sion of British sovereignty. Public
opinion is averSe to treating with Eng
land direct in the Guiana boundary
matter. The feeling is that Venezuela
should manifest its gratitude and
courtesy to the United States by await
ing the report of the boundary COM
mission. 1t is pointed out that when
Venezuela was alone, England never
considered its desires for peaceful
settlement, and that she only regards
it now through fear of the United
States.
The board of directors of the English
railroad between Guantana and BARGE
lena has been ordered to resume traf-
fic in obedience to an order from the
minister of public works.

There was only one instance in which
