QUESTION OF ANNEXATION
SENATOR PETTIGREW IS SCHED-
 ULED FOR 4 SPEECH TO-DAY,
Beyond This the Programme of the Week is Much in Doubt-Improbable That the Treaty Will Receive Much Attention in Executive Session Although Senator Davis Proposes to Move One.

Washington, Jan. 30.-The senate pro- ceedings for the week will open with a speech by Senator Pettigrew dealing with the Hawaiian question which will be delivered Monday. Beyond this speech it is very difficult to forecast the outlook for the week. The diversion occasioned by taking up the Teller bond resolution has left the senate in some what disorganized and unsettled condi- tion and with no pre-arranged pro- gramme. Senator Pettigrew's speech will be made during the morning hour and the probabilities now are that at its conclusion or least 2 o'clock, one of the general appropriation bills will be called up.
 The bimetallist senators are still dis cussing the advisability of renewing the financial agitation in the senate by the introduction of some measure of their own, though they do not seem quite so intent on this subject as they did imme- diately succeeding the vote upon the Teller resolution. If they present a resolution it probably will be declara- tion to the effect that the United States is not committed to the gold standard.
 In view of all the possibilities for de bate and delay involved in these va rious measures it seems quite improba- ble that the Hawaiian treaty will re- ceive much attention at least in execu- tive session during the week Still Sen ator Davis, chairman of the committee on foreign relations, announces it to be his purpose to move an executive session for the consideration of the treaty on Monday, but it is possible that he may be influenced by pressure from senators who have other measures requiring immediate attention to post pone this motion for few days. He does not, however, admit such proba- bility. There is a growing impression that the friends of the treaty feel that their safest course is in delay and that this is the explanation of their course in the senate so far. Senator Pettigrew's $ determination to discuss the Hawaiian question in open session will have a tendency to take the direction of the resolutions out of executive session.

SITUATION IN THE EAST.
England and Russia Reported to Have
 Reached an Agreement.

Berlin, Jan. 31.-Newspaper comment here is all to the text of England's in- glorious retreat as indicated by the an- nouncement of the Berliner Tageblatt that Russia and England have arrived at an agreement whereby England has consented to drop her demand for the opening of Tt-Lien-Wan as free port and Russia valves further opposition to British control of the Chinese sea customs. Japan, says the Daily Mails authority, has been thrown into a state of consternation by the British back-down and has adopted a more friendly attitude toward Russia. This statement, however, the Daily Mail ad- mits, is incredible and probably a
 bluff with a view of forcing England to take decided steps" The Daily Mail counsels it's readers not to be alarmed.
