Senate Will Take Up AppI0- priatiOn the Prince Henry
 and the Coronation
DEBATE IS EXPECTED OA
 JUDICIAL SALARY BILL
House VIII Have Sharp Discussion on oleomargarine Bill, and the Question of Cuban Reciproei-
 ty-Are Anxious to Talk.

Washington, February 2.-For the most part the Senate will divide its time this week between the Philippine tariff bill and the bill increasing the salaries or members of the federal judiciary. The salary bill is in charge of Senator Hoar, and will be considered in the morning hour of the Senate each day until 1t is disposed of, while the Philippine bill, which is in the hands of Senator Lodge, will continue to have right of way as the unfinished business after o'clock of each day. The salary bill will be the subject only of running debate. but a number of set speeches will be made on the other meas ure Among the Senators who will be heard during the week are Messrs. Teller, Turner. Mccormack and Culberson.
 The friends of the judicial salary bill hope to conclude it's consideration at comparatively early day. They say that Senator Stewards amendment increasing the salaries of Senators and members of Congress will be unceremoniously voted down. Monday Senator Hale, from the committee on appropriations, will report the urgent deficiency appropriation bill and ask to have 1t considered on the fol- lowing day. The amendments in this bill providing for the entertainment of Prince Henry and the expenses of this country incident to the coronation may lead to some discussion, but no debate Is enter tained of the final favorable disposition of those items.
 THE HOUSE.
 Washington, February 2.--This promises to be an interesting week in the house. The oleomargarlne bill has been made a special continuing order for tomorrow and after 1t Is disposed of. which prob ably will be on Tuesday. the bill for the repeal of the war revenue taxes will follow. While both sides are unanimous in favor of the repeal of these taxes, | it Is the intention of the Democrats to | open up the whole tariff question during l the debate on this bill. and they will make a strong fight for ample time for discussion.
 The question of Cuban reciprocity is also likely to be debated at length as members on both sides of the house arc anxious to define their positions | The friends of the oleomargarine bill have no doubt of its passage. They re- gard the vote on the adoption of tho | special order last Friday as practically a test vote. The bill Is practically the old Grout oill imposing a tax of 10 cents 1 a pound on products colored in imitation 1 of butter and making retail dealers who | color oleom argarine subject to the pen | alties as the manufacturers.
