FORECAST Of LEGISLATION
WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN CON-
GRESS THIS WEEK.
Senate Conferees Will Insist Upon
nue. Bill-Hawaiian Annexation.

Washington, June 5.-The senate was
so late in getting through with the war
revenue bill Saturday as to prevent any
consultation looking to a programme
for this week. The only positive indi-
cations are that much of the time will
be given to the appropriation bills,
which have been entirely neglected
since the revenue bill was taken up.
There are three appropriation bills in
conference and all are about ready to
be presented to the senate committee
on conference reports. These are the
sundry, civil, Indian and postoffice bills.
All present some differences between
the two houses and each of them will
unquestionably be made the basis of
more or less debate. There are many
items of general Importance connected
with the sundry civil bill. and it may
consume day or two Of the senate's
time.
The census bill also will receive at
tention If opportunity is afforded.
There is a general desire to provide for
the taking of the next census before
adjournment of the session, and the
hope is now expressed by the friends
of the measure that the committee bill
will be accepted without a great deal
of debate. The quarantine bill also oc-
cupies a prominent place upon the cal
enOar ana may be cOnSlQer6O.
Whether the Hawaiian question shall
come UP will depend largely upon the
action of the house. The opponents of
annexation still insist that there will
be no serious action by the senate dur
ing this session, but they agree that
ii almost certainly will come to the
front again, and especially if the house
acts. They prophesy that in that event
they will soon be able to make it SO
evident that final action is--out of the
question that the friends of annexation
will themselves be willing to suspend
the contest until the short session next
winter
REVENUE BILL.
The conference on the revenue bill
between the two houses will be inau-
gurateo during the week, but how
long it will continue or what the result
will be, there is as yet no indication
from any source. the senate conferees
announce themselves as very deter
mined tc stand for most of their
amendments, and they profess to be-
lieve the house will yield on a major
ity, on the ground that the senate gave
more attention to details than did the
house. On the more important amend
mentS, such as those dealing with the
bonds, the tea tax, the seigniorage and
the inheritance tax, to say nothing of
many others inserted to please indi-
vidual senators, wide differences are
quite certain to arise. These the fl
nance committee count upon and are
quite prepared to meet.
All parties are counting upon the gen.
eral desire for adjournment to assist
materially in expediting consideration
and each man hopes this interest in adj
journment will help his cause by in
surfing acceptance to avoid delay in get
ting away. A majority of senators still
count upon reaching the end of the
session by the first Of July and some
place the date much earlier but all ad-
nit that their opinions are mere con-
lecture. 1t is impossible to speak in
any wise definitely as to this matter I'M
til the Hawaiian question shall have
had an airing and the war revenue bill
shall be finally disposed OF. In the
meantime the progress of the war may
raise other questions. So far, however,
as can be seen now, the present month
ought to and probably will witness the
final adjournment.
IN THE HOUSE.
The war measure as it passed the
senate will be presented to the house
when it meets tomorrow. The desire of
Chairman Dingley and the majority of
the members of the ways and means is
to send the bill to conference 1T once
and not delay it by debate. in accord
ance with this desire the committee on
rules probably will adopt a committee
rule identical with Or generally in line
with the resolution which Mr.. Dingley
introduced last week to provide for a
molten TO disagree to the senate
amendment and agree to a conference.
This motion will prevail without de-
bate and conferees will be named.
At present there is an understanding
that the Hawaiian resolutions providing
for annexation are TO be considered in
the house before session adjournment
Just when and how the consideration
shall proceed has not been determined
A large element wants it to come i'm
mediately after the revenue bill is sent
to conference and are anxious to have
the matter disposed of, pending the re-
port of the revenue bill from confer
enee. Another element said annexation
should wait until the revenue bill has
passed, so as to avoid all possibility of
complicating the situation.
