55th CONGRESS.
A Forecast of the Coming
Weeks Work.
Army Reorganization Bill May Be Laid
Before the House.
Army Deficiency Bill Likely to Cause Criticism
Of Late War in Senate.

Washington, Dec. 1l.-Beyond the
first three days there is no programme
mapped out for the House. this week.
Tomorrow, will be devoted under the
rules, to the consideration OF business
relating to the District of Columbia
and Tuesday, the District of Columbia
appropriation will be taken up This
is in pursuance Of the determination Of
the leaders to give the appropriation
bills the right of way whenever one is
ready. There is nothing in the district
bill, this year, to attract opposition and
unless the unexpected happens the bill
ought to pass Tuesday or Wednesday
at the latest
The appropriation subcommittee
on pensions will commence work on the
pension appropriation bill, tomorrow,
but it can hardly be ready before next
week. 1t is confidently expected, how
ever, that it will be passed before the
holidays.
1t is possible that Chairman Hull of
the military affairs committee will be
able to bring III the army reorganiza-
ton bill as soon as the district appro-
priation bill is out of the way. He Is
the House at the earliest possible mo-
ment as he is particularly soicitous
that it should pass the House before
the holidays. If it should follow the
district bill a very interesting debate
would be preciptated. The future
policy of the government is ordained in
the bill for the increase of the standing
army and the whole subject will be
opened up.
The Democrats are divided on the
question of increasing the regular
army, but how far the opposition will
go in antagoniZing the measure it is
impossible to forecast. Only last week,
during the debate on the urgent def
cheney bill Mr.. Dearmond of Missouri,
one of the leaders. evaded a direct re-
ply when the question was put fairly
at him by Mr.. Cannon, chairman of the
appropriation bill. If the reorganiza-
ton bill should come up, the various
committees. under the call, would prob
ably be allowed to clean up before that
time the bills on the calendar.

IN TIE SENATE.
Nicaragua Canal. Anti.Sca ping. and Urgent
Army Deficiency Bills the Programme

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE course of
proceedings in the Senate. this week.
will depend upon the disposition that is
made of the Nicaragua canal bill. 1t is
Senator Morgans intention to call up
this measure. Monday, and he has eX-
pressed the hope that he will secure ac-
ton at the Monday session. Few of his
most sanguine co-workers agree with him
in this opinion, and the best indication is
that unless an agreement can be reached
for postponement several days at least
will be consumed in its consideration. The
opponents of the measure will meet it's
supporters with a proposition to defer
consideration until after the Christmas
holidays. and they will give as their rea-
son for this request the fact that the re-
port of the government commission APP
pointed to investigate the feasibility of
the canal has not yet been made, urging
the Importance of receiving the informa-
ton which the commission will be able to
furnish before acting upon so important
question. If the bill is taken up in
earnest, it will consume the greater por-
ton of the Senate's time until finally dis
posed of.
Another subject on the calendar is the
anti-scalping bill, which Senator Cullom
has informed the Senate he will seek to
get at an early date, but it will meet
with opposition if he makes the effort
and is not likely to succeed thus early
in the session.
The special order for Monday at 9
o'clock is the bill providing for the reg
istry of foreign-built ships, but if the
Nicaragua bill should be taken up. the
registry bill would not be allowed to con-
sumo much time.
Senator Morrill, has given notice of a
motion, Tuesday, to consider the bill pro-
viding for the purchase of a site for the
United States supreme court, but the pro-
ceedings with reference to this measure
will be confined to speech by the YER
mont senator.
The urgent army deficiency bill will re-
ceive attention, early in the week. The
committee on appropriations viii meet,
Monday, and it is not believed that more
than one meeting on the bal will be
necessary Senator Allison. chairman of
the committee, hopes, therefore, to get
the bill before the Senate for considra-
ton, Tuesday. 1t has been prophesied
that the army bill would be used as a
pretext for discussion of the Spanish war,
and the fear of such course has not en-
tirely subsidized.
