A Long Session Predicted, with the Cur
rency as theNMost Important Question.
WASHINGTON, Nov. Ex-senator Bur-
rows, of Michigan, expresses the opion-
ion that there will be a protracted dis
cussion of the currency question dur
ing the approaching session of con-
gress and that in all probability con-
gress will be in session until August.
In addition to the routine business
of congress, appropriations, etc." he
said, the Hawaiian question will be
disposed of and consideration will be
given to the currency question, immi-
grafton and a few other things.
"As to the Cuban question the situa-
ton is very peculiar. There appears
to be a great deal of confusion with re-
lation to the adoption of u new policy
by Spain, and L do not think congress
ought to act until an opportunity has
been had to determine what will re-
suit from Blanco's undertaking.
II think" he added, that the most
perplexing thing that co~nfronts us is
how to handle the currency question"
