CONGRESS THIS WEEK.
The Philippines Question and the
Financial Bill to he Discussed.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14-The Senate will
probably resume consideration of the Petit
grew resolution, making request for certain
information concerning the beginning of
the war in the Philippines, on Monday
morning This will be succeeded at 2
o'clock by a speech on the financial bill by
Senator Rawlins. of Utah. If the present
programme is followed. Senator Pettigrew
will continue his speech on the Philippine
resolution, and after he concludes Senator
Berry, of Arkansas, will take the floor for
a general speech on the Philippine problem
If sufficient time remains of the morning
hour. When the Pettigrew resolution is
disposed of the Hoar resolutions will sup
ply food for talk each day in the morning
hour, and after that the Hale resolution
concerning the seizure of American goods
by Great Britain will be taken up. 1t is
Senator Aldrich's announced purpose to
press consideration of the financial bill
each day after the conclusion of the morn
ing hour, but it is not probable he will sue
coed in securing a daily speech on that SUBJ
ject. Senator Teller probably will speak
some time during this week, after Senator
Rawlins concludes. 1t is also understood
that Senator Daniel will be heard soon on
the question of the finances. Other ad-
dresses on this subject will come later
Consideration of the Samoan treaty in ex-
ecutive session will be resumed if the
legislative work permits, and Senators Ba-
con and Money will make speeches in op-
position to 1t. 1t is also possible that the
report in the Quay case may be presented
late In the week.
The House will plunge into the routine
work or the session this week. Most OF
the time, excepting Friday, which has been
set apart for paying tribute to the memory
OF the late Vice President Hobart, will be
devoted to consideration of appropriation
bills. 1t is expected that both the urgent
deficiency and the pension appropriation
bill will be passed this week, the former
containing as Ii does many millions for the
army and navy, may raise the whole ques-
ton as TO the instruction in the Philip
