THE SENATE COMMITTEE LISTS Tliey Are Kxpccted to Ho Mnde Tuesday Cannl Treaty Under Consideration No Doubt of It Katlflcatlon Mlscella neon. WASHINGTON, Dec. 16. Tho dispo sition of tho sennto is to do very llttlo business beyond acting upon the Hay- Pauncefoto treaty beforo adjournment for tho holidays. In nccordanco with tho agreement j cached Friday tho trea ty will bo voted on beforo the Benato adjourns tomorrow. Senator Teller will mako tho first speech of tho day tomorrow and ho will bo followed by other senators with brief apecches. Tho opponents of tho treaty admit thcro Is no doubt of ratification. On Thursday tho announcement of tho committees will bo mado and thcro Is a probability that after this announcement tho senate will adjourn until Thursday, when tho adjourn ment for tho holidays will tako place, extending to January C. If there aro business sessions Wednesday and Thursday Senator Morgan will mako an effort to secure action on his bill authorizing tho acquisition of right of way for the Nicaragua canal, but sen ators on tho republican sldo of tho chamber aro inclined to postpone all important legislation until after the holidays. There probably will bo action beforo tho adjournment on Thursday on a number of nominations and tho chances aro that Attorney Genernl Knox's nomination will bo among thoso to receive atcontton. Tho Introduction of resolutions bearing on the caso of Admiral Schley la also among tho probabilities, but no action In that direction Is anticipated for tho present Tho houso this week will pass tho bill to provldo temporary rovenucs for the Philippine Islands, which was reported from tho wayB and means commlttco last Friday.

Thoro will bo no op portunity to amend tho measure Thoro will bo . a break In tho party linos on both sides of tho houso. Mr. McCnll of Massachusetts, the republican member of tho wayB and means commlttco who opposed the Porto Rlcan bill during tho last con gress, will spenk against tho mcasuro and will bo supported In his dlssont from his republican colleagues by Mr. Llttleflold of Maine and perhaps sev eral othor republicans who oppose tho Porto Rlcan bill and hold that a sim ilar tssuo Is presented at this tlmo. On tho democratic sldo Representa tive Robinson will support tho bill and tho remainder of tho Louisiana delegation will do likewise. Repre senting tho enno sugar Interests of tholr stato, they aro opposed to conces sions on sugar duties, cither from tho i'nllipplncs or Cuba. Tho general belief is that tho bill will securo as many domocrntio votes as it loses votes on tho republican sldo and that tho majority In Its favor when placed on Its passage will bo about the republican majority In the house.
