WHAT CONGRESS WILL Do
Cuban Resolutions to Come Up
in the Senate.
DUPONT CASE FOLLOW s
Both Subjects Are Expected to Prove
Prolific of Debate and Some Ex-
citing Speeches Are Promised
House VIII Devote the Week 10 the
Appropriation Bills.

The conference report on the Cuban reso-
lutions will be called up in the Senate to-
day.
When the report was presented on Thurs
day last by Mr.. Sherman, wherein the
Senate rccede1 from its own resolutions
and agreed To those passed by tic House,
objection to present consideration was
made by Mr.. Hale OF Maine. Mr.. Sherman
then gave notice that he would call the re-
port up Immediately after the morning IsIsi-
ness today. A conference report being
privileged it has the right of way.
Mr.. Hale, ii is understood, will take the
opportunity thus offered to explain why he
voted against the resolutions WHEN they
were before the Senate for consideration.
Mr.. Chandler, who did not participate in
the debate at that time, but who voted
for the resolutions, may also make short
speech i'll which hc will state his views
which are more extreme than any of those
of his collea CUES.
CHANDELIERS RADICAL VIEWS
Mr.. Chandler holds that this Government
should not only declare the independence
OF the Island OF Cuba, but that the United
states should set up that Independence and
notify Spain ana the whole world hat she
was ready and able to maintain it.
The Dupont case involving the legality
of the alleged election in Delaware. still
holds its place as the unfinished business.
Mr.. Turpie of Indiana has the floor
for today. His speech will bc replied TO
by Mr.. PrtChard OF North Carolina, u
member of the committee. Mr. Gray OF
Delaware and Mr.. Burrows of Michigan
Will also speak on This subject during the
week.
There is a general belief uat the debate
will
on the part of the Democrats 10 delay the
vote.
PLAIN CASE, YsGRAY.
Mr.. Gray, representing the Democrats.
says there is a plain case against the legal
ity OF the claim of Mr.. Dupont, and that If
the Senate votes according To the facts
as they are presented Mr.. Dupont will not
be seated.
Mr.. Mitchell is equally firm in his be-
lief that there can be but one side To the
case and that Mr.. Dupont viii be seated.
The impression among Republicans is That
Mr.. Dupont will get the solid vote OF the
Republicans together with one and. perhaps.
two POpulist votes. This of course. would
give him the seat.
The silver men appear 10 have been ca re-
fully sounded on the subject, and those in
tereSted in the case say that silver will not
figure in the matter At all, but that the
V.
even though the seating of Dupont does
mean one more anti-silver vote in the Senate.
FUR SEAL EXTERMINATION
The bill to prevent the determination of
the fur seals of Alaska, which seeks 10
prevent such determination by externnaU-
ing them under authority of the United
States and thereby preventing the further
exercise OF cruelty by peIagic sealers has
been made the special order for Thursday.
This measure will cause some debate at
least on the part OF Senator Morgan. who
is bitterly opposed TO its provisions and
was defeated in committee by majority
Of only one.
1t is the expectation OF the House man
ayers to devote the coming week TO the
consideration of appropriation bills and
the contested election case OF AldriCh vs..
Robbins. from the Fourth district of Ala
banIa.

pending business. and when it has been
disposed or the election cases will he

! postponement.
