WASHINGTON. Jan. ao.--It is the in
,.ntlon OF the house leaders to affect MS
far as possible the action OF the senate
In passing the Teller resolution by KILL
,ns that declaration OF the sense OF Con-
rress regarding the payment of the gov
ernmeats coin bonds In silver, on an aye
and no vote In the house this week. This
will be the feature Of the proceedings,
While the full Republican strength in
the houes cannot be commanded against
the resolution, no doubt Is expressed
BY those who have made It their busi-
ness to canvass the eltuatlon that the
majority against It Will be decisive. AS
soon as the resolution Is reported back
from the ways and means committee.
which may be Tomorrow, the rules com-l
nlttee will bring In special order for It's
consideration. The time allowed for de-
bate Is likely to be brief. as the leaders
do no. believe there Is any necessity for
protrac,ed debate, and. moreover. long
discussion would measureably decrease
che very purpose they have In View.
namely, prompt and decisive negative
reply to the senate's declaration.
The remainder OF the week will be de-
voted 10 the appropriation bill. The
District OF Columbia bill is still under
discussion and the fertilization bill Is
on the calendar. The house leaders In
tend to give appropriation bills the, right
OF way In order TO make an early ad-
iournment possible. The moment the
appropriation bills are out of the way. the
new rules will be brought In, and after.
that the contested elections cases and the
bankruptcy bill Will be brought for
ward.
The senate proceedings for the week
will open with a speech by Senator Pet,
tIgrew, dealing with the Hawaiian ques-s
ton, which will be delivered Monday.
Beyond this speech It Is very difIlculttto
forecast the outlook for the week. The
diversion occastoned by taking up the
Teller bond resolution has left the senate
In somewhat disorganized and unset
tied condition and with no ;pre-arranged
programme. Senator Pettigrew's speech
will be made during the morning hour
and the probabilities are now that at IT'S
conclusion or at least at 2 o'clock one OF
the general appropriation bills will be
called np.L The army and the legislative
appropriation bills are already on the
calendar and the consideration Of the
agricultural bill has been completed by
the committee. so that It will be the first
OF these measures to receive considera-
tion. though there Is some disposition
to dsplace Il with the legislative BILL
Senator Allison, chairman OF the COM
H5ttee on appropriations, said to-day
that /. was his purpose to have the ap-,,
propr!ation bills considered In advance
Of other measures and II he adheres to
this determination the week may be
largely taken up with them. So far as.
can now be seen there are few features
10 the bills already reported calculated
10 arouse discussion. There Is a feeling
IN certain quarters that the army bill
saou!d be amended by a provision for
Inc Increase OF the army, and II such a
cnanEe should be attempted 1t would
give rise 10 a very spirited debate.
The census bill also will be pressed for
consideration during the week and Seaa--
tor Carter, Chairman OF the census COM
nhttee. said to-day that he was very.
hopeiul OF securing Its passage in the
near future. The debate upon the civil
service will be resumed when this bill is
taKen up and the bill will be so amend
ca. as TO give the control Of the census
bureau to the secretary Of the interior;
