Senator Wolcott Will Talk of Inter- national Bimetallism. The House will Thoroughly Discuss the
 United States For eign Relations.

Washington, Jan. 16.-The Hawa iian annexation treaty will this week again occupy a major portion of the time of the senate. It appears improbable. however, that the treaty will be taken up On Monday. There is a unanimous agreement to vote on the immigration. bill during the day and it is alto- gether probable that this vote will be preceded by some decision of the mer its of the bill. The friends of the measure are confident of hs passage, but they are not very hopeful of get ting it through without further de- bate.
 Senator WoIcott has given notice of his intention to address the senate on Monday, when he will make a re- port of transactions of the recent international bimetallic commission. MT. Wolcott has never given an ex- tended public utterance concerning the commissions work and there is very general interest manifested as to the course he may pursue in his speech ol Monday.
 When the senate resumes consideEa tion of the Hawaiian trea,y, Senator Morgan will take the floor and it is expected will consume at least an other day in the presentation of his views in favor of annexation. He will be followed by Senators 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. A great number of senators wish to speak and as long as the result of the vote is as uncertain as it is at present neither side will be disposed to allow a vote to be taken.
 The senate has decided to vote on the confirmation of Attorney-General McKenna as associate justice of the supreme court on next Friday and the probabilities are that their vote will be preceded by some discussion as to McKenna's merits.
 THE HOUSE PROGRAMME.
 Washington, Jan. 16.-The house is likely to become the arena for a gen. eral discussion of our foreign rela- tions in connection with the considera- ton of the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill during the present week. The Cuban situation, the an nexation of Hawaii and the designs of the European powers toward China will, of course, be the principal topics to attract attention. The house man agers do not want an extended debate on Cuba precipitated at this time, but the minority is determined to press the question during the consideration of this bill. They believe the time is particularly opportune owing to the a1ti-autonomy riots in Havana Tomorrow is District of Columbia day and on Tuesday the consideration of the army appropriation bill will be 1 resumed. This is likely to be finished ] Tuesday, after which the consular and diplomatic bill will probably consume i the remainder of tha week.
 HANNA HURRIEDLY SUMMONED l Cleveland, O., Jan. 16.-SenatoI HaIha left for Washington at ] o'clock this afternoon very unexpec ed ly. His hasty departure is said tc have been brought about by the re- ceipt of message urging him to come l to the capital at once. It is believed that the Hawaiian treaty will be takeI up this week and that his presence was desired on that account.
