OF WEEKS WORK
SENATE AND HOUSE WILL EACH
TALK OF PHILlPPINEs.
The Higher body VIII Discuss Petit
grew Resolution and Appropria-
tion nil VIII Bring ZIP Subject
I'm the HOuse-Other Matters.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE senate
will probably resume consideration OF the
Pettigrew resolution. making request for
certain information concerning the Begin
ming of the war In the Philippines, Mon
day morning. This will be succeeded at 2
o'clock by a speech on the financial bill by
Senator Rawlins, Of Utah. II the present
programme is followed. Senator Pettgrew
will continue his speech on the philippine
resolution and after he concludes Senator
Berry, OF Arkansas, will take the floor Tor
a general speech on the Philippines problem
II sufficient time remains to the morning
hour.
When the Pettigrew resolution is dis
posed Of, the Hoar resolutions will supply
food for talk each day In the morning
hours, and, after that, the Hale resolu-
lions concerning the seizure Of American
goods by Great Britain will be taken up.
1t Is Senator Aldrich's announced pur-
pose to press consideration OF the financiai
bill each day after the conclusion OF the
morning hour. but It is not probable that
he will succeed in securing daily speech
on the subject. Senator Teller probably
will speak sometime during this week,
after Senator Rawlns concludes. II Is
also understood that Senator Daniel VIII be
heard soon on the question of the finances.
other addresses on this subject win come
later.
The consideration OF the Samoan treaty.
in executive session, will be resumed IL
the executive work permits. and Senators
Bacon and Money will make speeches In
opposition to 1t. 1t is also probable that
the report In the Quay case may be pre-
scented late in the week.
In the HOuse.
The house will plunge into the routine
work of 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 the consideration OF approprla-
tion bills. 1t is expected that both the ur-
gent deficiency and the pension appropria-
lions bills will be passed this week.
The former, containing, a. II does, many
millions for the army and navy, may raise
the whole question as to the insurrection
in the Philippines, with its allied issues,
and lead to a very protracted debate. How
far the Republican leaders will allow the
debate to run has not yet been determined
but, IL the Democrats are insistent and per-
sistent they can hardly refuse them sew
eral days, in view of the large amount OF
appropriations involved.
The pension appropriation bill is also
likely to cause some spirited debate, ow-
ing to the disposition In certain quarters
to criticise the conduct of the pension
office. Attempts doubtless will be made to
legislate upon some of the pension COM
missioners rulings, but, as all such legis-
laton Is subject to a point of order, 1t
will fail. There Is no present prospect that
the Roberts case will get into the house
before next week.

The colonial Dutch point out that these
prosecutions will serve to make more
rebels, as they consider the treatment OF
the prisoners as designed to terrify them.
Some Britors regard the prosecutions as
impolitic in view OF the fact that the Beers
are able to retaliate on the 100 British Of
flcers and the $500 prisoners In their
hands and might do SO unless all VINO

prisoners of war.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. I-The Kan
sas City & Leavenworth Electric Railway
Company will open its road for general
traffic on Tuesday. Everything is in read
mess. The roadbed Is in splendid condi-
ton considering the fact that It has Just
been completed. The last trial trip over
the road was made yesterday. The car
carried the officers of the company and
number of newspaper men, The distance,
twenty-one miles was covered in an hour
and the trip proved very satisfactory.
The building of this line is thought to
be only the beginning Of a great interurban
railway system centering I'm the city at the
mouth Of the Kaw. Should the new line
prove good investment it is more .han
probable that all Of the towns and cities
within a radius of sixty miles of Kansas
City will be connected with one big cleo
trio rapid transit system. Right-of way
franchises have already been secured for
similar line between Topeka and This

WHEELER IN CONGRESS
HIS VOTE FOR A HAWAIIAN
TERRITORY.
Will Get Into the National Legislature
Even if Excluded for the Present by
a Technicality.

General Wheeler in Congress will
probably be an influential member of
that body, as regards all matters relat-
ing to organization of government for
the new additions to the United States
territory. He has been in Cuba, the
Hawaiian Islands, the Philippines and
Guam and has made careful studies of
each place. As a result of these travels
he will probably be able to speak with
more authority regarding all of the new
possessions than any other one man. y,
AS far as Hawaii is concerned the
General is strongly in favor of a terri
toral form of government-in fact he
declares himself in favor of that form
for all possessions as far as it can be
adopted. II have always favored a
territorial government for these ISL
ands," said the general, land think it
is the proper thing if it suits the peo-
pie. 1 have not had opportunity to see
the bill that is now before Congress,
and therefore am not familiar with it's
details, but the plan is certainly right"
The general made Inquiries about the
native vote and the sentiments of peo-
pie here with regard to the territorial
bill He would have liked to come
ashore and gain information for him
self, though this is his second visit,
but quarantine prevented his doing so.
General Wheeler's chances of getting
his seat in Congress at an early date
are a subject of controversy. 1t is GER
tain that he will meet with opposition,
but he will fight for his rights. Con-
gresham Bailey is said to be one of
the leaders of the opposition to the gen.
eral. Fighting joe is a Democrat,
but not of the Bailey type
If Congress refuses to seat General
Wheeler under the present circum-
stances, that will by no means keep
the soldier out of the national legisla-
ture. Wheeler has such a cinch on his
district that no one was nominated tc
run against him. A turn-down from
Congress would therefore only delay
him in getting his seat.
