Warrington, Marcel. s,-The consplc.
nous feature of The house proceedings
this week will be In connection with the
Cuban resolutions, which The COMMITTEES
on foreign affairs reported. and which
are nov on the calendar. After tha
objection raised by Mr.. Boutelle on
Thursday last 1t became almost Ger.
tain that unanimous consent could MOI
be secured for the consideration OF the
resolutions, INK as the sscnata resolu.
tons were referred on Friday to tho
foreign affairs committee, 1t Is certain
that unusual methods will be required
to get h subject before the house. TwG
methods are open. Under the rules this
first and second Monday of each month
are suspension days. Today. therefore,
is n of the days when the speaker
could recognize Mr.. Hit to move the
passage of the resolution under a sus-
pension of the rules. Such a motion
would require a two thirds majority.
but II is not believed that a dozen votes
would be recorded In opposition. Only
thirty minutes debate on a side would
be allowed il such a motion were made.
The other way would be for the commits
tee on rules to bring in a special order
The general impression is that

fact that the senate resolutions were re-
ferred to the committee indicates that
the majority prefer the house to the
senat resolutions, but when the ques-
ton comes before the house, unless 1t
is by Il special order which would cut
off amendment, a motion probably will
be made to substitute the house reso-
lutions. The latter action would have
the advantage of ending the matter.
Delay would be a natural incident In
h passage of u different set OF rcso-
lut1ons by each house, and the temper
of members Is in faEor of action. There
has been some talk of making the reso-
lutions joint instead OF concurrent, in
order that the president may be forced
to approve OF reject them, but there Is
no probability that this change will be
made.
The remainder of the week will be oe-
cupied with appropriation bills.
The legislation which Is under consid,
GRAFTON will consume two days, possibly
more, and he posto1fice bill will prob.
ably take up the balance OF the week.
The Senate Program.
The mate will probably pass the ag-
ricultural appropriation bill early in the
week. Senator Mitchell of Oregon, chair
man of the committee on privileges and
elections, has given notice of his inten-
ton to call up the Dupont election case
on Wednesday. He will support the
claim of Mr.. Dupont to the vacant Della
ware seat and Senator Turpie will sup
port the views of the minority. Senator
Pritchard is scheduled to follow Senator
Turpie, and other members of the COM
mittee 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 vet very un-
certain.
1t has been asc%ertained that there will be
a solid vote of the republicans for Mr.. Du-
pont, but this Is one short of a majority
and it is not vet known whether this vote
can be. obtained. 1t is believed that the
entire democratic vote will be east against
Dupont. The republicans therefore rely
entirely upon securing at least a part OF
the populist vote.
The calendar continues to grow and will
afford plenty OF material for work II cir
cumstances permit 1t to be taken up. 1t is
also said that Senator Teller will ind on
portunfty during the week to discuss the
tariff as 1t relates to the silver question
and there may be other speeches on the
line In an effort to secure a vote on the
motion to recommit.
