CONGRESSIONAL PROGRAMME,
The Philippine Question to be De-
batcd In the Senate-The The
Houae Oufof.

The Philippine Question to be De-
hated In the Senate-The The
House Quiet.
WASHINGTON, January 28.-Sena-
tors Bacon and Tillman have given no.
tice of speeches during the present
week upon the Philippine question, but
beyond these notices no indication has
been given of the probable curse of
events in the Senate during the week.
The currency bill continues to hold the
right of way and it is not improbable
that it will be made the subject of
more or les experimenting. 1t is also
quite certain that during the early
part of the week there will be a
change in the elective Offices in the
Senate and that in accordance with
the decision of the Republican aucus
of last week, Mr.. Bennett will be in
stalled as secretary and Mr.. Ransdell
as sergeant-at-arms. Senator Jones,
of Arkansas, will continue in execu-
tive session his effort to secure recon-
sideration of the Samoan treaty. but
this motion will be resisted by the
Republicans. There is a tacit under
standing that the Quay contest will
not be taken up until after the dispo-
sition of the currency bill.
There is no programme mapped out
for the House this week. The Indian
appropriation bill is in preparation.
It is expected that these bills will oc-
cupy the major portion of the week.

NEW YORK, January 27.-The
stock market was narrow and profess
sional to-day, but reflected some slight
ly increased interest and prices showed
some response to news Developments.
Quite an active speculation developed
in Third Avenue, which was feverish
at a level extending to 6% points be-
low last night. Rumors were rife
touching the plans for financing TIE
foatin gdebt of this company and de-
malls followed quickly on rumors. The
market was disposed to resist this in
fluence and hardened. the specialties
leading in point Of activity and
strength. The rather cheerful tone of
the weekly trade reviews, the good
railroad earnings for the third week
In January and the expectation of a
strong bank statement prompted buy
ing. The December statement of St.
Paul checked the movement on account
of the decrease of $3.50, 900 in net earn
jngs for the month by reason of in
creased operating expenses. The de-
crease in net earnings of the system
for the fiscal year is thus brought up
to $685., 900. The total was offered down
a sharp fraction on the showing, Bur-
lington closely following and the
whole list showing the effect. There
was an Indifferent rally on the bank
statement and prices were slightly
lower than yesterday at the close. The
proportions of the loan increase again
proved a surprise though the loan ex-
pansion was only a fraction of the in.
creased credit facilities afforded by
the cash increase. There has been no
narrowing demand manifest on the
stock exchange during the week and
