take them up for discussion if not for action They are:
 Uniform Bankruptcy.-The bill known as the Torrey bill always passes one house, and it once passed both houses and was lost in conference.
 Ship Canals.--A report has been made by army engineers for route from the great lakes to the sea. A canal from Lake Michigan to the gulf Is to be pro- posed.
 Pure Food.-The department of agri- culture is now collecting facts on which to base a renewed recommendation for a bill to prevent adulteration.
 Pacific Cable.-Two bills which were considered in the last congress have been introduced again. They provide for cables to Hawaii, China and Japan. They are antagonistic, and they defeat- ed each other last spring.
 New Department.-There Is propo- sition pending to establish department of commerce. Other new executive de- partments, such as department of mifl- ing. are also discussed.
 Mississippi Floods.--A senate commit tee has been Investigating the overflow of the Mississippi and will recommend extensive levee Improvements, which will probably be cared for in the river and harbor bill.
 Seals-The futility of the seal con- ference is likely to revive the proposi- ton to kill off all the seals in the inter- est of humanity
 Railroad Pooling.-A bill to legalize railroad pooling was defeated in tho last congress, but was reintroduced after the transmissoun decision of the supreme court was rendered. and 1t will be pushed by Senator Foraker.
 Ticket Scalping.AThe railroads are urging the passage of law to prohibit ticket scalping similar to the New York state law.
 Immigration bill to establish an educational test for immigrants which President Cleveland vetoed has been reiutroduced.
 Election of Senators-The proposi- ton to have senators elected directly by the people has many advocates in both houses.
 Pensions.-BilIs to grant more liberal pensions come up at every session. but in view of the statement of Pension Commissioner Evans that the pension total has not reached its climax they are not likely to pass this winter.
 Indians.-The attempt to absorb the five civilized tribes into the population or the United States will be revived.
 Options.-The antioption bill will re- ceive a new impetus from the enact- ment Of antioption laws in Germany
 Other questions which are sure to come up in debate are the Nicaragua canal quarantine against plagues the reduction of salaries in the departments and the pensloning of railway mall clerks.

leagues all over the country. however. gives promise of flood of petitions and a deluge of speeches on the subject.
 TO ANNEX HAWAII.
 Hawaiian annexation Is certain to be called up for prompt consideration in the senate. The treaty which was sent in by President Mckinley at the spe- cial session is on the executive calen- dar of the senate. OnAthe open ealen- dar is a resolution for the annexation of the islands, and the friends of an- nexation propose to cali this up and at- tempt to pass it if the treaty does not meet with prompt acceptance MT. Nor gan in the senate and Mir. Cannon in the house will lead the advocates of an- nexation. They have just returned from a visit to Honolulu primed with mate rial for argument. The opponents of annexation will be as active as ever, and if they choose to filibuster there is no hope that the treaty will be approv- ed or the joint resolution passed. Some times an urgent party measure can be used as a lever to force action on an- other bill, but no such measure is pend ing, so the acceptance or rejection of annexation depends largely on the ear nestness Of the opposition in the sen ate. Ex-Queen Liliuokalani is in Wash ington prepared to lobby against 1t.
 THE CUBAN QUESTION.
 The Cuban question may change be- fore congress meets The negotiations of Minister Woodford with the new ad~ ministration at Madrid may put a new face on affairs, though that does not seem likely at the present writing. If the condition of the Cuban affair re- mains unchanged when congress meets, there will be a very strong effort to put through the house the resolution reeog- nzing the Cubans as belligeFents Speaker Reed prevented a vote on it at the special session. acting according to an understanding with the adminis- tration. MT. Reed Is not the house of representatives. and the administration influence will hardly be strong enough to prevent the passage of the resolution unless something decisive toward free ing Cuba is done at the White House. In any event. some redhot speeches against the administration are sure to be made by administration men. Sem ator Mason Of Illinois says he is pc
The age-herald., 1897-11-14

What promises to give some strength to the measure is the experience of the people with the savings banks during the late panic. But the same argument was used in 1873 without effect.
 THE KLoNDIKE IN CONGRESS.
 The Klondlke craze will be heard from In congress. Propositions for the or- ganization of Alaska into territory and for the extension of the mining and land laws of the United States to Alas ka have been under consideration for many years. The new conditions creat- cd by the gold discoveries make legis- lation for the better government of the territory an immediate necessity. Sey- eral plans are under consideration. One proposes the organization of a part of Alaska into the territory of Lincoln. A bill providing for representation for Alaska in the house of representatives is already on the calendar. In the sen- ate committee has reported bill to permit the construction of toll roads through the Alaska mountains. and it will probably pass in some form.
 THE ARMY AND NAVY.
 The question of recognizing the army and navy will have its usual in- nings. General Miles wants the army increased from 25.e00 to 10000 men, or at the least to 35,e00. The navy needs a new organization which will hasten the promotion of those officers who were commissioned after the war and who are held back by the hump" which grew during the war period. Congress will also have to consider the question of authorizing the construc- ton of new ships as recommended by Secretary Long and the increase of the enlisted force so as to man all of the ships. The question of armor plate will also come up for discussion when Secretary Long. acting under a resolu- ton passed at the last session, reports the findings of the naval board now in session as to the cost of establishing Q government armor plate factory. Coast defenses must also be discussed in con- nection with the appropriation bills.
 THE APPROPRIATION BILLS.
 The appropriation bills will take up more of the time of house and senate probably than any other class of legis- lation. It is probable that there will be rush for river and harbor. public

ended. and probably he will have some new suggestion to make. If it involves an attempt to hold a new international monetary conference, it has little chance of being adopted by the senate.
 A great many individual measures of currency reform are on the calendar of the house and in the senate commit tee. More will be introduced as soon as congress meets. and it is quite likely that the subject will be the chief topic of debate all through the session.
 THE TARIFF LAW.
 The decision of the attorney general practically nullifying section 22 Of the tariff law will bring up for early debate the question of protection to American shipping Senator Elldns has announce ed his intention to press bill applying a general discriminating duty to all goods brought to the United States in vessels of foreign register. Incidental ly the charge made by Senator Chandler that section 22 was smuggled through the house and senate will come up for discussion, and some lively personal ities may be expected
 As the attorney generals interpreta- ton of section 9 is to be tested, a deci- sion of the courts on the subject at any time may alter the state of the question in congress.
 It is not likely that any material amendment of the Dingley tariff will be made. Tariffs are seldom amended un- less they are wholly revised. So the sugar schedule of the Dingley law will probably remain as it is.
 ATTACKS ON THE CIVIL SERVICE.
 One of the most interesting features of the session will be the attack on the civil service law. It will be led by MT. Gallinger of New Hampshire in the sen ate and MT. Grosyenor of Ohio in the house. MT. Gallinger has been laying the foundation for it in published controversy with Carl Schurz. one of the early friends of civil service re-
The age-herald., 1897-11-14

with. "Let these gentlemen go to their constituents and ask an election to con- gress if they are so anxious to reform our currency system"
 Senator Foraker says he expects no action on the currency question, be- cause the majority of the senate is for free silver and because the arrival of prosperity has settled the disturbance in the public mind.
 The message of President Mckinley recommending the creation of a cur rency commission is in the hands of the senate committee on finance, to which it was referred just before con- gress adjourned. A joint resolution to carry out the presidents suggestion was passed by the house on the day of ad- isurnment. The senate did not pass it. ard it will probably not pass at the coming session.
 Much interest Is felt in Senator Vol cott's explanation of his negotiations with France and England for the re- mobilization of silver. Though 1t has been anticipated in great measure by tho publication of an English blue book, 1t will be received with interest and discussed at length. MT. Wolcott is quoted as saying that his mission is not

 form. General Grosvenor has already demonstrated his position in a speech made to the house on the 18th of July, in which he quoted George Washington as saying in letter to Timothy Pick ering, T shall not while I have the honor to administer the government bring a man into any office of conse- quence knowingly whose political tenets are adverse to the measures which the general government are pursuing, for this, in my opinion, would be sort of political suicide"
 General Grosvenor will urge as a sub- stitute for the present system an ex- animation of all appointees for fitness. the examination to be noncompetitiye This is the system now in use in mak- ing consular appointments.
 General Grosvenor's attack on the civil service law is the more interesting because he was one of the stanch SUD- porters of the administration. But the act of President Mckinley in extending the civil service blanket over customs offices indicates plainly that he is not in sympathy with General Grosvenor, and 1t is not likely that any change in the law will be made by congress. The or ganization of anti civil service reform
