WASHINGTON, D. c., April 1.-THE
outlook for the week in the senate 10 60
much bofogged by the situation with
reference 10 committee reorganization
that 1t is Impossible TO forecast the
proceedings with any degree Of accu-
racy. There is possibility that this
question may consume a great deal Of
attention, and II It is not satisfactorily
disposed OF. 1t may be used to prevent
efforts to secure action on important
measures.
Aside from the matter Of re-OrganIEa-
tion, there are four Important questions
before the senate. These are: The Nor
pan Cuban resolution, the bankruptcy
bill, the Anglo-American arbitration
treaty and the appropriation bills.
Senator Davis. chairman OF the COM
mIttee on foreign relations. said to-day
that he was hopeful Of securing con-
slderation for the treaty some tlma DUR
ing the week. the only circumstance
likely to prevent being the continued
absence of senators. Senator Davis re-
fuses TO make any predictions az to the
result OF the final vote or when that
vote will be reached.
senator Allison said when he pre-
scented the report on the FIndFy civil
appropriation bill to the senate that he
would call It up this week. Senator Pet
tIgrew, who will have charge Of the
indian bill has also stated that he
hopes 20 take up that bill II the DEM
ocTats do not object on account OF the
Incomplete condition OF the committees,
both bills probably will he acted upon
during the week. Senator German IL e&-
pccted 10 make a general attack upon
the appropriations during the pending
OF these measures.
Roth Senators Hoar and Nelson are
very anxious to press the bankruptcy
hill TO a vote. but II will give way be-
fore any OF the other measures mention.
