Committee on Foreign Relations Re

ports ON Cuba To-day.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-The Senate will
be in session only two days this week and
comparatively little will be accomplished
in this time. Ordinarily a quorum would
not be present with the holidays near.
but interest in the Cuban question will
have the effect of attracting a good at
tendance tomorrow. when the Cuban reso-
luton. as agreed to by the committee on
foreign relations. will be reported to the
Senate. The report will be written and is
quite voluminous. Whether its presenta-
ton will be used as a pretext for discus
sing the Cuban question at this time is as
yet uncertain 1t is contrary to the policy
of the committee on foreign relations to
have the matter discussed previous TO the
holidays, but IL is possible that some sene-
tors not members of the committee may
want to express their opinions at this
time. There is, however. no probability OF
any effort to secure action on the resolu-
tions now.
Senator Pettigrew's free homestead bill
is the unfinished business on the Senate
calendar, and the senator will make a
strong effort to secure its passage before
the adjournment for the holidays, on Tues
day. Mr. Pettigrew feels confident of sue
cess by a large majority and says that he
will not require more than an hour to get
it through when consideration is once be-
gun. Senator Platt and some other East
ern senators are opposed to the bill Sena-
tor Gear will make an effort to get up his
bill authorizing the settlement of the Sioux
City & Pacific Railroad debt but his sue
cess in this will depend on the disposition
of the free homestead bill.
The House will adjourn on Tuesday for
ha holiday
whether quorum will be present again
until after the holidays. This being the
case. whatever is done Will have to be done
practically by unanimous consent. The
alton bill is still unfinished. This bill and
the bill for the maintenance OF the military
academy the leaders hope TO pass before
the recess. The only thing which may
stand in the way of carrying out this pro-
gramme will be the fight which the library
relative TO the library in the Legislative
bill. The library committee agreed on a
bill for the future government OF the IL
brary which the appropriation committee
rejected. They will seek TO have the
House adopt this as an amendment TO the
legislative bill. but as a point of order VIII

of its adoption. They can then. of course,
