majority for the policy it has mapped out 10 the
Republican and Democratic leaders The MEM
bers are so completely absorbed in the ques-
tons OF the hour that during the remainder OF
the week they are likely 10 inject debate on
these questions into the proceedings AT every
opportunity But the rules as at present en-
forced are rigorous. and the outcropping OF
passion and patriotism is likely to be confined
largely 10 the debate on the Naval Appropria-
ton bill Every effort will be made to dispose
of this bill as quickly as possible. in order 10
remove opportunity for infia Hma tory speeches.

In exercising restraint until the time for action
arrives.

and Friday are private bill days and a
contested election case could be thrown into the
House 10 consume the remainder OF the week
Under the rules any attempt 10 discuss the
Cuban question except during the consideration
Of the Naval bill. and then only 10y subterfuge,
can be prevented.
PROGRAMME IN THE SENATE
In the Senate the present understanding is
that the Maine report will be referred TO the
Committee on Foreign Relations and sent to the
printer without being read more than Incl
d=ntaly referred to. and that after this nothing
more will he said concerning it until the com
mittee has had reasonable opportunity TO con-
slider It or until some further communication Is
received from the President on the Cuban ques-
ton
There has been appeal from the Admins
tration TO the Senate to avoid undue agitation
Of the Cuban question until the President can
have opportunity 10 formulate a pOlicI and
the Senate appears disposed 10 comply with the
request Still. there is no doubt that the Senate
would grow uneasy under delay. Senator
Money expects TO make a speech tomorrow on
the lines of those Of Senators Proctor. Gallinger
and Tkurston, based on his observations in
Cuba. What further discussion Of the Cuban
situation there may be during the week will de
perd so largely on further development ts that il
is useless 10 discuss the probabilities ~ the
President should
Committee on Foreign Relations report the
Senate at once would become the centre Of an
animated discussion the result Of which might
be some radical declaration against Spain. The
problem now is to hold the expression Of opinion
DOWN to the minimum pending the negotiations
Of the President and the deliberations OF the
committee
There is little heart in the Senate for any other
BUSINESS than that relating to Cuba and the
probabilities that comparatively little will
be done and that the sessions Will be short
Aside from Senator Moneys speech there is
special order providing for the taking up Of the
private pension bills on the calendar on Mon
day. beginning al | o'clock On Tuesday at
o'clock. eulosles will be delivered Of the late
Senator Earle Of South Carolina. Senator CAT
fery's speech the Quarantine bill which has
already run for two days. has not been com
peted. and II may he resumed during the week
II may be said in a general way, however. that
Cuba will occupy almost the entire thought. IL
not the speech Of the Senate for the week, and
willie it may be possible to suppress audible ref
erence to the subject, IL is most likely to find
some vent. This opportunity may be afforded
on resolution for the Appropriation Of money
10 relieve the distress Of the reconcentrados.
The Sundry Civil Appropriation bill probably
will be reported to the Senate on Monday. and
taken up for consideration later in the week
