IN CONGRESS-.
Monroe Doctrine Resolution
to Be Reported, Today.
Expected That The Same Will Have
Practically Unanimous Approval.
House Programme Includes the Disposal Of
Several Importan. Measures.

Washington, Jan l9-In the House of
Representatives the programme of busi.
ness for the coming week is about as fol-
lows; The urgency deficiency bill Will be
reported by the committee on appropria-
tions, Monday, and it Is expected that i'm
mediate consideration Will be given it.
Following that the bill making the ap-
preparations for the military academy for
the next fiscal year will be taken up.
Little time will be occupied in considering
these, and opportunities for action on the
bills by unanimous request will be numer-
Gus.
IL is expected that, next Friday, the
committee on invalid pensions will invoke
the rule providing for night session on
that day to begin the consideration of
private pension bills. During the week
the committee on ways and means will
give several hearings. Monday, the advo.
Gates of the bill to establish q sub-treasury
at Savannah will be heard, and, Wednes-
day, there will be held the final hearing ON
the customs administrative act.
In the Senate tomorrow, the report from
the committee on foreign relations of the
Monroe doctrine resolutions will probably
cause that subject to divide the time with
the free coinage substitute to the House
bond bill. which is still unfinished busi-
ness. The extreme position taken by the
committee on resolutions in one direction
and those Of Mr.. Sewall Of New Jersey, in
the other, will give the debate a wide
range.
Mr.. Davis has been instructed by tho
to urge prompt action on the
re esolution, and, while il cannot supersede
the financial question as the unfinished
busiIe.s, it will probably receive much
this week. Mr.. Sewall NAV
address the Senate, tomorrow, during the
hour, ON his resolution. which
declares that the President has gone too
far In his mess? ge in enunciating the
Monroe doctrine.
The committee resolutions will, doubt
less, be discussed by Morgan, sherman,
Cullom Lodge, Frye, Davis and others in
favor, and antagunized probably by Gray.
1t is believed that tie result Will be al
most unanimous in favor of their adoption,
and the vote may be taken, this week.
Teller and Daniel have given notice that
they will speak, this week, on the flnancial
question, and White and CockreIl may also
speak
Additional interest to the week; pro-
eeedings will be given should the financial
report the tariff bill. This will
be done, it is understood, without another
meeting being held. The nature Of tho
report will depend upon the position taken
)y Jones of Nevada.
Should he still insist upon increasing
he duty on raw sugar, an adverse report
VIII be made. Should be vote with the
republicans, then the bill will be reported
is It came from the House. AS soon as
Tones signifies how he desires to vote, the
'ill will be reported. This may be done,
tomorrow.
