Washington, May 29.-The House
will not be in session tomorrow, nav
ing addournce 20 Tuesday because of
Memorial Day. The consideration of
the Hawaiian annexation resolutions
by the House this week is possible, but
not assured. Speaker Reed stands
ready to give the resolutions full right
of way in the House if they pass the
Senate. but is opposed TO sending them
first through the House and forcing
them upon the Senate, because, he con-
tends, it would precipitate fight there
that would prolOng indefinitely the ses-
sion and end likely in the whole mat
ter finally going over to next winter.
Especially is he opposed TO forcing the
Hawaiian issue to the front until the
revenue bill is through the Senate. 1t
is stated upon high authority that the
other RSDblican members Of the Com
mittee on Rules are in accord with the
Speakers position, Notwithstanding
they favor as he does not, the annex
ation proposition. Consequently, con-
sideration of the resolutions early in
the week is not to be expected and its
consideration later in the week is ex-
pected. There is still talk of
A REPUBLICAN CAUCUS
to consider the question, and one may
be held The general deficiency bill
may be reported during the week, but
owing to the development of new de-
mands upon the War and Navy De-
parjments. notably the former, Incl
dent to the war, the bill may be with
held until nearer the close of the ses-
sion. The bill, so far as 1t relates to
ordinary deficiencies, has been ready
six weeks. Conference reports upon
The sundry civil, postoffice, Indian and
District of Columbia appropriation bills
may be expected almost any day,
though the sundry civil is likely to be
delayed until after the revenue bill
passes the Senate. owing TO the de-
mands thereupcn the attention of SEN
anor Allison, Of the Finance Commit
tee. An effort to pass the anti-scalping
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1898-05-30

bill will be made during the week. Bills
of minor Importance will be pushed
meantime by members generally
IN THE SENATE.
Having decided at the last moment
Saturday to observe Memorial Day,
the Senate will not be in session again
until Tuesday. The Finance Commit
tee will, however, meet on Monday in
an endeayor to perfect the revenue bill
in minor details.
There is still no certainty as to when
the vote may be taken on the revenue
bill. 1t looks as if the entire week
would be spent upon it, and none Of
the members of the committee under
take to predict the exact date of the
Senate's conclusion of its work. There
are still a number of speeches to be
made on the bill and upon amend
ments. 1t is probable that there will
be more or less debate upon the
Lodge amendment for the annexation
of Hawaii and the Morgan amendment
relating generally to the government
Of annexed territory. Both Senators
Lodge and Morgan announce their IN
tention to make speeches on the sub
jects involved, and Senators espous-
ing
THE OPPOSITE VIEW
declare their purpose to reply if the
subject is opened. Republicans gen
orally predict that Senator Lodge will
refrain from pressing his amendment,
and it is the general opinion that he
will at least not go to the extent OF
asking a vote upon 1t, and thus sub
jecting the measure to motion to
lay upon the table.
Whenever the final vote is reached
on the revenue bill, there is no longer
much doubt as to the shape in which
it will be passed in the Senate. The
decisive vote of Saturday on the cor
poratiOn tax amendment renders 1t
quite certain that all the Democratic
amendments will be eliminated from
the bill and that the Republican sug-
gestion for the issuance OF 100000
600 in bonds and S100,000,000 in time
certificates will be substituted for the
House bond and certificate provision.
The general impression about the Sen
ate is that the House will accept the
majority of the Senate amendments
and that consequently the bill will not
be long in conference.
With the revenue bill disposed Of,
there may be an effort to secure an in
dependent expression on Hawaiian an
nxation, but this will depend upon
future developments. The conference
1epoNs on appropriation bills will
also be in order There will be several
of these. the sundry civil being the
most important.
