I'M THE SENATE

Report

Report
WASHINGTON, March 7.-The import
ant event of the week in the senate will
be the reception Of the presidents message
transmitting the report of the Maine In
quiry, which is expected early In the day
Monday. The present understanding is
that the report will be referred to the COM
mittee on foreign relations and sent to the
printer without being read or more than
incidentally referred to, and after this
nothing more will be said concerning It ,un-
til tho committee shall have hads;feason-
able opportunity to consider 1t, or until
some other communication may be re-
Hceived from the president on the Cuban
question. There has been general appeal
from the administration to the senate to
avoid undue agitation of the Cuban oues.

portunity to formulate the policy ana the

with the request.
Still, there is no doubt that the senate
was growing restive under the delay Sem
ator Money expects to make speech to-
morrow on the lines Of those OF Senators
Proctor, Gallinger and Thurstor, based
upon his observations in Cuba.
What further discussion there may be
during the week on the Cuban situation will
depend SO largely upon future develop-
msnts that It is useless to discuss the prob
abilities. II the president should make

erations of the committee. There Is very
little heart in the senate for any other bus
mess than that relating to Cuba, and the
probability is that comparatively little Will
be done and that the sessions will be COM
parAttreiy quiet. Aside from Senator Mon
ey's speech there is special order provid-
ing for the taking up Of the private pension
bills on the calendar Monday, beginning at
1 o'clock. Tuesday at o'clock eulogies will
be delivered on the late Senator Earl of
South Carolina. Senator Caffery's speech
on the quarantine bill, which has already
ruin for two days, has not been completed.
and 1t may be resumed during the week.
1t may be said in general way, however.
that the Cuban question will occupy almost
the entire thought. even If 1t is not the sub
tect OF speeches in the senate, and while It
may be possible to practically suppress
audible reference to the subject, It is most
likely to find opportunity for some vent.
This opportunity will probably be afforded
on resolution Of appropriation Of money
to relieve the distress Of the Cuban recon-
centrados
The sundry civil bill will probably be "e-
ported to the senate tomorrow.
