COMING EVENTS IN CONGRESS.
OUTLOOK For THE WEEK IN THE
SENATE BEFOGGED.

The Fight Over the Reorganization
of the Committees May Prevent
Action on Any other AIatter-Senn-
tor MOrEan's Cuban Resolution,
the bankruptcy Bill, the Anglo
American Arbitration Treaty and
ing-Jerry simpson to DO His best
to Harass the Republicans in tn
House.
Washington, April 1.-THE outlook for
the week in the Senate is so much be-
logged by the situation with reference to
committee reorganization that it is i'm
possible to forecast the proceedings with
any degree Of accuracy. 1t is possible that
the reorganization of the committees will
receive a great deal of attention, and if
it is not satisfactorily disposed of, it may
be used to prevent efforts to secure action
on important measures.
Aside from the matter of reorganization,
there are four important questions before
the Senate. These are the Morgan Cuban
resolution, the bankruptcy bill. the Anglo
American arbitration treaty, and the ap-
preparation bills.
Senator Davis, chairman of the COM
mittee on foreign relations said to-day
that he was hopeful of securing consider
alton for the treaty some time during the
week, the only circumstance likely to pre-
vent being the continued absence of sem
ators. Senator Davis refuses to make any
predictions as to the result of the final
vote or when that vote will be reached.
10 tod
the report on the sundry civil appropria-
ton bill to the Senate, that he would call
it up this week.
Senator Pettigrew, who will have charge
of the Indian bill, has also stated that he
hopes to take up that bill. If the demo-
Gratis do not object on account of the In
complete condition of the committees,
both bills will probably be acted upon
during this week. Senator German Is eX-
pected to make a general attack upon the
appropriations during the tendency of
these measures.
Senators Hoar and Nelson are very anX-
ious to press the bankruptcy bill to vote,
but it Will give way before any of the
