Washington, Jan. 1.-THE coming
week in the house is likely TO he un-
eventful. There are no bills of great
national importance on the house cal
endar. which are to be debated unless
the supporters of the Nicaregua canal
project should succeed in persuading
the committee on rules to assign them
one or more days for consideration of
that measure.
Monday will he devoted to District
of Columbia legislation. On Tuesday
Mr. Mccall of Massachusetts will
bring up the Yost-TucIer election con-
test from the Tenth district of Vir-
ginia. The committee report Is in IA
vor of Tucker. the sitting member, who
Is democrat, and his side of the con-
test will be managed by Chairman Me-
Call. a republican. while Mr.. Walker.
the only republican member from Nir-
einia, will handle Yost's case. One day
of the week will be given to the pen
sions committee for the passage of the
bills which have been reported to the
house from the Friday night session.
There are two appropriation bills
ready to be acted upon, the agricul-
trral and Indian. one or both Of which
will be sandwiched into some OF the
spare hours. They contain no items
probable to give rise to much conflict
The rest of the week. according to pres
ent plans. will be occupied in passing
small bills which may be called up by
unanimous consent and in the call OF

NOT MUCH IN SIGHT
This Promises 10 Be an Uneventful
Week in the National Congress.
THE NICARAGUA CANAL BILL
There May Be Considerable De-
bate on That Measure in the
Senate-S mall Bills to Be
Passed In the House.

Washington. Jan. 1.-THE friends of
the Nicaragua canal bill expect it to
be taken up early in the week and that
II will retain Its place at the head of
the calendar undisposed OF. The bill
will lead TO considerable debate before
voted on. but its advocates are very
hopeful of its passing. Senator Nor
gan will have charge OF the measure
in the senate and will try to reach a
vote before the end of the week. His
success in that undertaking will de-
pend upon whether there are many
senators who desire to be heard on
the bill. SO far very few have indi-
Gated an intention To speak.
Senator Perkins will make an effort
to get up the bill for a non partisan
labor commission and In this he likely
will be antagonized by Senator Frye
with the Hawaiian cable bill
Senator Chandler will introduce the
cacus committees bill for an interna-
tional monetary conference on Mon
day and will ask to have II voted upon
on Tuesday without going through n
committee. So far Senator Pettigrew
Is the only member of the senate who
has announced an intention to oppose
the bill, though il is expected others,
while giving 1t no effective opposition,
will take the position that nothing can
he accomplished by international ac-
tion. Mr.. Pettigrew will make a speech
against the bill taking the position
that to seek an international agree
ment amounts to making this country
a suppliant of England. which IL. he
says, the chief beneficiary of the pres
ent system.
The legislative. executive and judi
aial n nd tho military apaIapar
priation bills will be reported from
the committee on appropriations on
Monday and the early consideration
will be asked. Efforts may he made in
executive session to reopen the discus
sion of the extradition treaty, but this
will be resisted by the committee on
foreign relations.
