tOurnment soon after the receipt of the

journment soon after the receipt OF the
message.
The first week Of the session was not
expected 10 be productive of important
results In AN executive way. There are
many senators who think that but little
or nothing should be done beyond the
passage II appropriation bills at this
session. and as these measures neces-
sarily originate In the house there will
be disposition to postpone the session
OF activity until some OF these bills can
be received from the other end Of the
capitol The probabilities are that the
daily sessions at the beginning will be
comparatively brief and that the senate
will content itself with four days work
each week.
The calendar presents a wide range
OF material for consideration in case
the senate shows a disposition 10 busy
itself. In this Is included The immtgra-
ton bill, which Is the unfinished bust
ness the Pacific funding bill. the
statehood bills and the Dingley tariff
and bond bills. as well as the Cuban
and Hawaiian questions.
Senators Lodge and Chandler have
announced their determination to press
the immigration hill To vote as quick
ly as they can. II will be the first reg
ular business to be taken up and can
not be displaced except hy vote of
unanimous consent They hope to get
the bill through before the holidays. ID
is also possible the presidents message
may suggest subjects for speeches. and
there are those who predict the Cuban
question will receive attention from the
beginning OF the session,
N Is generally agreed that the repub-
llcans will hold a caucus to determine
upon a line of policy. especially with
reference to the tariff. and until after
the exchange OF views. no step is likely
tn be taken which will commit the
party to any position on any question
of political significance.
The opening week promises To see the
house put its shoulder to the wheel OF
the regular appropriation bills. Chair
man Cannon and the committee on ap-
preparations were at work all last week.
and u Is their earnest intention tn pass
two and possibly three OF the bills be-
fore the Christmas holidays. The pen
