AN VIZ wy - 49, ~f
WAsurNaror, Jan. B-Tho senate pro
gram this week Is rcsdsrol very uncertain
by the condition Of tho Nicaragua canal
bill. With that measure oUb Of the way,
the bankruptcy bill probably will be given
the right OF way osrly Ina thoW week, but
even with the road cleared 10 tho oXtent Of
the removal Of the Nicaragua bill itts not
probable that any Roadway wall be made
with che bankruptcy bin before Wsdnes-
day. Notwithstanding It Is the special
order for today. The time ef tho sonabo
after Q O'Clock tadsy was devoted b.
euloEieu upon the late Speaker Crisp, aaa
tho time previous TO the hour afber the
disposal OF the routno morning business
was consumed by Senator Turpio in a
speech discussing the Cameron roaol1-
ton.
Tomorrow ssuator Chandler expects TO
secure a vote on his bin providing for the
representation " this country at an inter
national monetary conferences. Thore will
be several short speeches, and moro or losi
running debate on this measure, but IL is
believed that all substitutes u amend-
ments will be voted down and the bill
passed Senator Cameron has a substt-
tute requiring shis government to take the
initial in oalling a conferences, which may
give the movers Of the original bill more
or loss trouble.
The bankruptcy bill will be debated al
considerable length when reached, though
Senator George, It's especial champion, M
reported 10 the senate, Is abseab fsom tbs
city.
SsnRtor Morgan win mako q strenuous
effort to prevent the Nicaragua canal bill
from losing It's place as tho unfinished
business on che calendar, and 10 " uAdsr-
stood will subnit amendments which
will meet the demands Of those who hold
that the bin requires furthor work by
committees In view OF the new position OF
Nicaragua al developed by Senator Rsdri
gusz's lobt5e. TIA senator will take the
position thas the bill should DO amended
in the senate if nos satisfactory, and thai
1t Should DO voted upon and not sent baoA
to committee.
SeRator-eleot Kenney, Of Delaware, mag
presenb his credentials dRPiRg the weok
but NOT until after the committee on
privileges and elections which Is to msot
Thursday, shall have passed upon th,
Dupont petition and the Adaick5 ore
dentials.
hemost interesting feature Of the houst
program for the coming week, unless thI
Nicaragua canal bill should receive cen
sideratlon, which ia view Of the recsR
complications seems entirely improbable
will DO the fight against conference roper
on the immigration bill Mr.. BarthOldt
Of Missouri, who made an inofoe5Hal at
tempt to prevent the bill from going Il
conference, will lead she opposition 10 Oh
bill, as agreed on by the contorrees. Thor
seems to DO little doubt that the friends .
tho measure will be triumphant in tn
end, as the sentiment in favsr Of an i'm
migration bill in the house Is, as shswn b,
the votes on previous occasions, in a stronl
majority. Nevertheless Mr., Barbhold
proposes to do all In his power to defsA
the conference report Two appropriation
bills, the agriculture and Indian, vii
probably consume the remainder Of tn
week. There are some features Of botl
bills which may u considerable debate
Such time rs can be spared will DO given :
the committees to call up suoh bills q
have been reported by them.
