Washington. Feb 1s-The prospects
are for a busy week In the senate. but
outside Of the fact that Senator Davis
will speak on Monday IN support OF the
Monroe doctrine. and that the appro-
priation bills which have been reported
viii be taken up and probably dis
posed OF. no definite forecast OF the
proceedings can be given. Senator
Davis speech is expected TO be a strong
and-logical expression OF the views of
the more advanced advocates of the
Monroe doctrine.
There are three Of the appropriation
bills on the senate calendar. but II is
not believed that any OF them. unless
it be the consular and diplomatic bill.
will arouse any prolonged debate. II
is possible the diplomatic bill may not
excite debate. This bill affords an op-
portunity to discuss foreign affairs
generally. and 81 is very rarely al
lowed TO pass without senators avail
ing themselves OF this opening to dis
cuss diplomatic questions IL 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 bill
will be the first series to be taken up.
The Cuban resolution has been given
the place OF precedence after the ap-
preparation bills. but II Is not yet GER
tain that this subject will be taken I'D
seriously uutil the senators who may
wish TO speak upon IL shall have an
opportunity TO prepare themselves.
The senate committees have been un-
usually active since the holidays with
the consequence that there is an accu-
mutation of business sufficient to cover
y pages of the calendar, embracing
subjects I'm which all the senators are
interested. There Is therefore a gen.
eral desire to get to work on the cal
nedar. and the probabilities are that
with the appropriation bills out of the
way the calendar will be resorted to
and large number OF bills OF minor
Importance acted upon. There con-
tinues TO be more or less discussion OF
private nature among senators as TO
the probabilities Of getting up the tar
in bin in some form. but this depends
almost wholly upon whether the
friends of the bill can obtain assur-
ance Of success in whatever move they
make.
The reports OF both the majority and
minority of the committee on privil-
eyes and election on the Dupont case.

pont as senator from Delaware. and

THINGS TO Be DONE
What Will Occupy the Attention Of
Congress This Week.
EARLY ADJOURNMENT TALK
Senator Davis To-Day on the Mon
roe Doctrine-The Cuban Reso-
lution After the Appropriation
Eills-The Contested Seats.

Washington, Feb. 16.-Most of the
time of the house this week will be
taken up with the consideration of ap-
preparation bills. The agricultural bill.
which was taken up yesterday, should
be disposed OF tomorrow unless a pro-
longed debate should be precipitated on
the question of seed distribution by the
agricultural department The Indian
and army appropriation bills are ready
and the committee expects to have the
executive. legislative and judicial bill
reported by Wednesday. The foreign
affairs committee will call up the reso-
luton to censure Ambassador Bayard
as soon as those in charge of the ap-
preparation bills. which have the right
OF way. VIII afford an opportunity to
do so. The foreign affairs committee
Is also working or a Cuban resolution.
and "a may possibly be reported to the
house this week. The trend OF opinion
in the committee favors a resolution
expressing it as the sense of congress
that a state OF war exists in Cuba and
requesting the president to issue his
proclamation recognizing the insur-
gents as belligerents. The report on
the contested election case OF Van
Horne W. Tarsney. from the Fifth
Missouri district. can be called up by
the committee at any time. as II Is
matter OF higher privilege than an ap-
proprlation bill. The report Is In favor
OF the contestant, but a minority re-
port will be filed on Tuesday recon-
menGing that the case be recommitted
and the testimony reopened.

summarily.
