AND PASS THE RESOLUTIONS
FOR RECOGNITION.
NOT A DOZEN OPPONENTS,
MAY BE SUBSTITUTED FOR
THOSE OF THE SENATE.
VIII Come in for A tenti ON in. the
senate-The Week In Con-
gfess.

hdFCn line con-
spicuous feature Of the house proceed
ings this week will be in connection
with the Cuban resolutions, which the
committee on foreign affairs reported
and which are now on the calendar.
After the objection raised by Mr.. Bou
telle on Thursday, it became almost
certain that unanimous consent could
not be secured for the consideration
Of the resolutions, and as the senate
resolutions were referred on Friday to
the foreign affairs committee. it is GER
tain that unusual methods will be re-
CURED to get the subject before the
house. Two methods are open. Under
the rules, the first and second Mon-
days Of each month are suspension
days. Tomorrow, therefore, Is one of
the days when the speaker could rec
ogniZe Mr.. Hit to move the passage of
the resolutions under a suspension of
the rules. Such motion would re-
quire a two-thirds majority, but 1t is
not believed that dozen votes would
be recorded in opposition. Only thirty
minutes debate on a side will be al
lowed If such a motion were made.
The other way would be for the COM
mittee on rules to bring in a special
order. The general impression tonight
is that the former method will be fol-
lowed. The fact that the senate reso-
indicate that the majority prefer the
house to the senate resolutions. but
when the question comes before the
house, unless it is by a special order,
which would cut off amendment, a mo-
IL -
tute the senate resolutions. The latter
action would have the advantage Of
ending the matter. Delay would be
natural incident to the passage of
different set of resolutions by each
house, and the temper Of members is
enthusiastically in favor of action.
There has been some talk Of making
the resolutions Joint. instead of COIL
current, in order that the president
may be forced to approve or reject
them, but there Is no probability that
this change will be made
The remainder of the week will be
occupied with appropriation bills.
The legislation which Is under con-
stderation will consume two days, pos
sibly more, and the postoffice bill will
probably take up the balance of the
week.
IN THE SENATE.
The senate probably will pass the
agricultural appropriation bill early in
the week. f r.
Senator Mitchell, Of oregon, chair
man Of the committee on privileges
and elections, has given notice Of his
intention to call up the Dupont cleo
ton case on Wednesday. He will make
speech on this subject at that time,
supporting the claim Of Mr. Dupont
to the vacant Delaware seat and will
be followed by Senator Turpie in sup
port Of the views of the minority Sem
ator Pritchard is scheduled to follow
Mr.. Turpie, and other members Of the
committee will be heard later. 1t is
not expected that the decision of the
senate will be reached during the pres
ent week. and the result is as yet very
uncertain. The Republican side of the
senate has been canvassed, with the
result of ascertaining that there will
be solid Republican vote in support
Of the proposition to seat Mr. Dupont,
but this is one short of a majority,
and it is not yet known whether this

that the entire Democratic vote will
be cast against Dupont. The Repub-
licans, therefore, rely entirely upon Sc
curing at least part Of the Populist
vote.
Senator Berry will make another
effort during the week TO secure con-
sideration of the bill providing for set
Element of the accounts between the
state Of Arkansas and the United,
States, and Senator Mcbride will make
like effort on his bill providing for
the refunding of $1.25 per acre paid
on land embraced in unearned rail-
road land. grants.
The calendar continues to grow, and
will afford plenty of material for work
If circumstances permit it to be taken
up. 1t is also probable that Senator
Teller will find opportunity during the
week to discuss the tariff bill as it re-
lates to the silver question, and there
may be other speeches in the same
line with an effort to secure a vote on
the motion to recommit
