Washington. Jan. 1.-THE course OF
the senate this week will depend large
ly upon whether the Pacific railroad
funding bill passes the house and
whether Senator Cameron will call up
his Cuban resolutions. Cameron's
friends expect that he will be In his
seat today. and that when he returns
he will indicate his desire as TO the
resolutions on the Cuban question If
he decides TO press the resolutions there
will be a determined effort 10 aid him
In this direction. but in any event there
are likely to be a few speeches on Cuba.
Mills has announced his purpose TO
address the senate on the question to-
day. and IL is understood that Davis
is preparing a Cuban speech. The Pet
tigrew free homestead bill is expected
10 reach a vote today or tomorrow, and
it is TO be followed by the Pacific rail-
road bill, III the latter bill passes the
house. Cullom, who will have charge
OF the legislative, executive and judicial
appropriation bill, says he expects to
be able to report that measure by the
middle of the week, and that he will
ask the senate TO consider 1t as soon
as reported
After the Pacific railways funding bill
is disposed of the house will proceed
with the consideration of appropriation
bills until Saturday, which will be given
up to eulogies on the life and character
and public services Of the late ex-Speak-
er Crisp. The Indian and military ap-
preparation bills are on the calendar and
before they are disposed of the agri-
cultural bin will be brought on. 81,

elimination Of q 1song Struggle.
II is the elimination of the struggle
which has gone on in congress for a
dozen years to secure some sort Of an
adjustment of the Pacific railroad in
dehtedness on the basis of an extension,
as il has been apparent for long
period that the roads would default
when the bonds matured. The interests
at stake are gigantic. and the friends
OF the bill are straining every nerve.
The opponents of the measure are also
active, and the result is awaited with
intense interest. Each side claims that
II will be victorious. Both sides have
made polls of the members upon which
they predicate their claims.
Substitutes for the Funding Bill.
Before the final vote is taken on the
bill the Bell and Harrison substitutes,
both Of which are pending. will be voted
upon The former provides that If the
Union Pacific and Central Pacific will
discharge the first mortgage indebtness
of SCI, 100000. so as to advance the gov
ernment's lien to first mortgage, the
government will agree to an extension
of the debt at a low rate of interest.
The Harrison substitute provides for
the creation of a commission consisting
OF the secretary of the treasury. the
secretary of the interior and the at
torney general for the settlement of the
debt on a basis fair to the roads and
just to the government.

General Round-U Up of the Work Expected
Today-The Probable Bill.

Today-The Probable Bill.
Washington, Jan. 1.-THE ways and
means committee has practically ended
it's tariff hearings, and will hits week
take up the work of shaping up the
bill There will be general round up
gathering up the odds and ends. but the
work of hearing arguments has prac-
tical ended. The iron and steel men
were heard Saturday. The arguments
developed the usual divergences OF
opinion between these who make the
products and those who use them.
A feature OF the hearings which has
been the subject OF frequent remark by
those attending them is the moderate
demands OF the average individual ap-
pearing before the COMMITTEES especially
those OF manufacturers. The general
impression Is that the bill which is TO be
framed will be a moderate one in the
matter of rates and will at least aver
age something lower than the Mckinley
law rates
