The record-union., 1898-01-17
Many Senators Wish to Speak Upon the
Question.
Friends of the Immigration Bill
Confident of Its Passage-Mc-
Kenna's Confirmation to be
Voted on on Friday-Diplomati
and Consular Appropriation
Bill Will be Debated in the
House.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-The Ha-
waiian annexation treaty will this
week again occupy the major portion
of the time Of the Senate. 1t appears
improbable, however, that the treaty
will be taken up on Monday. There is
unanimous agreement to vote on the
immigration bill during the day, and il
is altogether probable that this vote
will be preceded by some discussion of
the merits of the bill. The friends of
the measure are confident of it's pas
sage, but they are not very hopeful of
getting it through without further de-
bate.
Senator Wolcott has given notice Of
his intention to address the Senate on
Monday, when he will make a report of
the transactions Of the recent Interna-
tional Bimetallic Commission. Mr..
Wolcott has never given extended pub
lie utterance concerning the commits
sion's work, and there is very general
interest manifested as to the course he
may pursue in his speech on Monday.
When the Senate resumes consider
alton Of the Hawaiian treaty Senator
Morgan will take the floor, and it is ex-
pected will consume at least another
day in the presentation of his views in
favor of annexation. He will be fol-
lowed by Senator'S Pettigrew and White
in opposition to the treaty, and by other
Senators for and against it. There is
no hope that the discussion will be
concluded during the week. great
many Senators wish to speak, and as
long as the result of the vote is as I'M
certain as it is at present neither side
will be disposed to allow the vote to be
taken.
The Senate has agreed to vote on the
confirmation of Attorney-General Nc
Kenna as Associate Justice Of the Su-
preme Court on next Friday, and the
probabilities are that this vote will be
preceded by some discussion as to Mr..
McKenna's merits.
The urgent deficiency appropriation
bill will, in all probability, be reported
on Monday. and there may be an eff
fort to secure It's consideration during
the week.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-The House
is likely to become the arena for gen
eral discussion of our foreign relations
in connection with the consideration Of
the diplomatic and consular appropria-
ton bill during the present week. The
Cuban situation, the annexation Of Ha-
waif and the designs of the European
Powers toward China will, of course, be
the principal topics TO attract attention.
The House managers do not want an
extended debate on Cuba precipitated
at this time, but the minority is deter
mined to press the question during the
consideration of this bill. They be-
lieve the time is particularly -oppor-
tune, owing to the anti-autonomy riots
In Havana. Tomorrow is District of
Columbia day, and on Tuesday the con-
sideration Of the army appropriation
will be resumed. This is likely to be
finished Tuesday, after which the con-
sular and diplomatic bill will probably
consume the remainder of the week
