QUAY wEARIEs OF DELAY.

GCudloI quay HOW asserts MS lnIenllOl
of pressing the bill more industriously
than in the past, and the opposition Is
Just as pronounced in its declaration of
intention to resist its passage They say
that the bill cannot pass, and some of
them announce that they would rather
take the responsibility for an extra ses-
sion of Congress than have the statehood
bill become a law
When the question is again taken up
Senator Burnham will proceed with his
speech, and it is now the plan to have
Senator Kean follow him. Senator Bev-
eridge also will be heard on the bill. and
tie opposition is preparing, if necessary
to introduce extraneous matter for the
purpose of preventing a vote. For in
stance, one of the Senator'S has on his
cesk a copy of the encyclopedia speech
delivered by Senator Quay during his con-
siceration of the Wilson-Gorman tariff
bill, which he threatens TO read, and an
other has at hand a voluminous history
of New Mexico If night sessions are at
tempted the opponents of the bill will
resort TO the usual methods to kill time.
On the other hand, it is admitted that
the supporters of the bill will take a bold
stand against allowing any other business
TO proceed until vote shall be obtained
on the statehood bill. Some even will go
TO the extent of excluding appropria-
tion bills. There Is some apprehen-
SlOn on the OIL the Dill s SUD-
porters that there may be an effort TO
unduly discuss and delay consideration OF
the appropriation bills in order to delay
the statehood bill, and such course will
be resented
The work of the week will begin with
the taking up of the diplomatic appro-
priation bill tomorrow. This measure is
in charge of Senator Hale. and he will
attempt to put 1t through with his usual
dispatch.
WEEKS SPECIAL ORDERS.
AS the bill stands it is not calculated
TO provoke much debate, but there is a
probabilit that there will be an effort to
attach to 1t Senator Lodges consular re-
form bill as an amendment. If this effort
should be made much discussion is prob
able.
There are several special orders for the
week, which will consume more or less
time, and one of these will require almost
ar entire day for its endorsements. This
is the memorial exercise order for Friday
"at the conclusion of the morning busi-
ness" in honor of the memory of the late
Senator McMillin of Michigan. AS is
usual in such cases. the Senate will ad-
joUrn after the conclusion of the memo
rial addresses.
Some time will be devoted on Saturday
TO exercises connected with the accept
u .hS etdIues Oh CnarleS Carroll
and Charles Hanson, which have been
presented for places in Statuary Hall at
the capitol by the State of MARYLAND
Senator Scott also has given notice of a
speech for Tuesday on the subject of the
pension laws.
Senator Cullom will make an effort when
ever the opportunity offers to obtain con-
sideration of the Cuban treaty, and he
SAID to-day that he would again move, ir
necessary. to have fhe
executive session during the week for the
purpose OF taking up the treaty. Senator
Cullom also has In charge the Panama
canal treaty and expresses a desire for
early consideration, but as several of the
members of the Committee on Foreign
