CONGRESSIONAL FORECAST.
The Work at Washington During
the Coming Week.
BANKRUPTCY BILL IN THE SENATE,
a tJrbt VIII he Made In the House
over the Conference Report on
the Immigration Biii.

Washington, January 24.--The senate
programme this week is rendered very un-
certain by the condition o, the Nicaragua
canal bill. With that measure out of the
way. the bankruptcy bill probably will be
given the right OF way early in the week.
but even with the road cleared to the ex-
tent Of the removal OF the Nicaragua bill
il is not probable that any Roadway would
be made with the bankruptcy bill before
Wednesday, Notwithstanding 1t is the spe.
cial order for Monday.
The time Of the senate after o'clock
Monday will be devoted to eulogies on the
late Speaker Crisp and the time previous to
that hour after the disposal Of the routine
morning business will be consumed by
Senator Turpie in a speech discussing the
Cameron resolution. The speech may be
broken in upon at 2 o'clock by a conten-
ton for precedence between the friends Of
the Nicaragua bill and the supporters OF
the bankruptcy bill. but II SO it is likely
that the contest will be postponed to a
more convenient season
1t is known that Senator Turpie will
take advanced ground favorable to Cuban
recognition and it is limited that he will
take occasion to criticise Mr.. Olney's posi-
ton sharply. Mr.. Turpieg speech may
prove to be the first o. several on the
Cuban question, but the committee on for
esn relations is manifesting no disposition
to press the resolution to vote.
Tuesday Senator Chandler expects to Sc.
cure a vote on his bill providing for the
representation Of this country at an inter-
national monetary conference. There will
be short speeches and more or less running
debate on this measure. but 1t is believed
that all subjects and amendments will be
voted down and the bill passed before the
close OF the day set for its consideration.
Senator Cameron has substitute re-
quiring this government to take the intis /
tive in calling a conference which will give
the original bill more or less trouble.
The bankruptcy bill will be debated at
considerable length when reached though
