The Debate Will Not be Hurried, and
Will Not Commence Until
Next Week.

Washington, Dec. cit is now prob
able that the debate on the financial
bill in the house will not commence
Until next week. The republican eau.
Gus will consider the bill as framed oy
the caucus committee. No apparent
opposition has developed to it on the
republican side, and the caucus un-
doubtedly will adopt it as introduced.
The leaders, however, are not disposed
TO rush its consideration in the house.
They wish to allow the members the
remainder of the week for the study
OF the bill and report and the prepara-
ton of speeches. 1t is probable that
the whole of next week will be allowed
for the debate. The consideration OF
the bill will be under a special order
from the committee on rules, which
will provide for vote at specified
hour on the closing day of the debate.
