New York, Feb. 1.-During the early

Hobolen, N. j., which resulted in the

WHAT CONGRESS WILL ESSAY.
The Senate Has the Nicaragua Canal and
the House More Appropriations.

shho HhouSo NhoFe e<AppTOprlotSonss
Washington. Feb. 1.-The week in the
senate will open with further discussion
OF the Nicaragua canal bill. 1t is ex-
pected that this bill will be disposed of
In some manner during the first half of
tho week. Morgan has given notice
that he will ask the senate to go on with
Il today. and 1t was inferred generally
when he gave the notice that he would
ask the senate to sit tonight until q
vote should be secured. 1t is thought
now that II he asks for a night session
at all he will not do SO until tomorrow.
Whether he viii succeed in securing 1t
then will depend upon the zeal Of those
who favor the bill. Villas and Turpie
will oppose the bill by all the means
at their command, and will filibuster
to prevent its passage. They will also
have assistance from other senator's.
II the Nicaragua bill does not reach
q vote by the midle of the week there
will be great pressure to get up other
measures. 1t appears most probable.
however. that the bankruptcy bill will
be given first place on the calendar,
barring appropriation bills and con-
ference reports.
l-OuKe expectS 10 secure conSldera-
tion of the conference report on the i'm
migration bill during the week. SEN
ator Gibson will antagonize this report,
and the friends Of the bill count upon
the necessity Of spending considerable
time on 1t. The arbitration treaty will
be reported at the first executive ses-
sion and an early day asked for its
discussion. It Is likely that II will come
UP for consideration during the week.
The time of the house will be devoted
probably almost entirely to the con-
sideration Of appropriations. Of which
the consular and diplomatic and the
District OF Columbia are on the calendar
There Is little In the diplomatic bill tS
create conflict. 1t Is possible. however
that an effort will be made in the house
as II was In the committee. to raise the
salaries OF the consuls below $500
which were placed under the protection
Of the civil service by Cleveland-to thu
latter figure. in order to afford the in
coming administration an opportunit,
TO displace the existing officials. Blu
II the attempt is made it probably viii
fail. as It did in committee. 1t is possibl,
that the rules committee may decide Il
give the house a chances to vote thi
week on the International monetary con
ference bill which passed the senate las

asking for information regarding the
production of castor beans which the
house passed Thursday after Steele Of
Indiana had read a letter from the
secretary, rather sarcastic in tone, re-
fusing the information. In his reply
the secretary states that it is impossible
to comply with the resolution because
the department has no data whence the
information can be collated. He adds,
however, that perhaps the chief of the
bureau of statistics of the United States
treasury department may probably sup
ply the information needed

Washington. Feb. 1.-The nominal
business Of the house Saturday was the
consideration Of the agricultural ap-

fore adjournment, but much Of the time
was devoted to political discussion. In
cidental to this discussion was a spirited
speech by Mondell Of Wyoming upon
the free silver Republicans Of the west
who had bolted from their party dur
ing the campaign. He declared that
the boiling Republican leaders had been
raised to prominence a. much by their
party organization As by their own
worth. had used that organization to
aid the Democratic-Populist combina-
ton. and then after the election had
been rewarded by the treachesy Of their
allies. He cited the defeat in Idaho Of

this morning: "The report that I

have given rise to the inference that
I expected to succeed Mr.. Eckles

mission in 1898. l can say for my
self, and think 1 speak for all con-
cerned, that I sincerely hope Mr..
Eckles may see his way clear for the
retention Of his position until the ex-
piration of his commission. His
distinguished services as comptroller
of the currency rendered amid 80

refrain from calling the attention of con-

furnished the department. An amend
