 sidcred for some Time, Although | Passage of q Law is Expected.

begin the week with the consideration of the question of the relations between this country and San Domingo.
 The subject will be brought up on Senator Tillman's resolution calling upon the President for information relative to the status of affairs since the flight of Morales. and if the Senate does not take up that resolution, Mir. Rayner will address the Senate on tha general Dominican question.
 It Is Senator Tiilman's intention to press his resolution and unless 1t tn 1 accepted by the Senate. he will prob ably talk on 1t, if not tomorrow, then on some other day during the week. With the subject once opened up. cons i siderable debate may be expected, for | the Republican Senators are prepared l to defend the attitude of the President i in the Dominican matter.
 1t is not expected that the treaty | with Morales will be presented for some time. but Republican Senators say they have no intention of letting It go by default The President. 1t is | pointed out. is anxious for action and l prefers rejection to failure to act His friends in the Senate cite the I course of events in the present revolu- l tion, when the financial affairs of tine | country have been less disturbed than 1 in previous uprislngs, as sustaining i the Presidents attitude toward the llt- | tie republic. On the other hand, the l revolution has had & tendency to soi- idify the Democratic Senators against l the agreement. and if they hold to- 1 gether they will be able to defeat ratt- i flcation.
 l The Shipping BIIL.
 Senator Gallinger, chairman Of rhe Merchant Marine Committee, has given | notice of his intention to call up the shipping bill tomorrow. and If he doss so. that measure. being the unfinished business. will supplant the Dominican 1 question.

 Many Pennsylvania people are on the Isle, and Senator PenroSe has annouuc- ed his Intention In aiding them in main taining their status. There is no sx- pectation of being able to take up the l railroad rate question several weeks. but the Senate leaders say the consid- eration of that subject will not be ufl- duly postponed.
