DEBATE WILL BE GENERAL

Washington. Dec 1o.-The first iu- portant measure which will receive tue attention of the Senate will be shs Panama Canal emergency appropria- ton bill. and It's consideration will be- gin this week. Some Senators predict that 1t will become a law before tke close of the week. but others have ex- pressed the opinion that final action will be deferred until the week fol- lowing.
 There will be no effort to prevent the passage of the bic in some shape. btt there will bc somek expedition to the proposed restoration of t5.500.ooo sup- tracted by the House from the amount to be appropriated.
 Regardless of the sum the biii Will Do utilized as the basis of general dfs- cussion Of the canal question.
 It is said the debate will deal with the question as to whether the canal shall be constructed at the sea level
 There Is some question as to whether the bill should be referred to the Com nittee on Appropriations or the Com. mittee on Canals.
 The general expectation Is that there will be comparatively little additionai legislation before the Christmas hoii- days, Several other measures will be vigorously pressed during the session. but with the exception of the mcf~ chant marine bill. the sponsors of the bills do not count on getting early con sideration.
 Merchant Marine Hall. Senator Gailinger will call up tho merchant marine bill at the first op- portunity and Is hopeful that action will not Do iong-delayed No one l counts on even getting a report from the committee on the railroad rate hIIi until some time after the holidays These measures mentioned are con sidered the most important that will come before the Senate this session. and they will receive attention until they are finally disposed of.
 The consideration by the Senate of the joint statehood sbi'f and the hI]f for the reduction of the duty on Phiiipplne innportations Into the United States will necessarily be postponeu until af- ter the hoIidays.
 No one now expects any efYort to modify the tarfff unless in the direction of Senator Lodges Dill. providing for maximum and minimum rates The Massachusetts Senator regards this proposition with much favor. and will press it strenuously if he receives any encouragement to do so.
 Much of the rimc during the present week will be devoted to the reorgani~ zation of tho committees. and there is hope that the announcement of changcs can be made before Thursday.
 Senator Mitchelis death will be an- nounced by Senator Fulton, but # Is nos probable that the announcement win cause an adjournment of the Senate.
