Diphtheria has won so far. Two

Washington, Jan. 7. In the house
this week the only certain feature is
the consideration of the urgent defi
ciency appropriation bill. It will be
ready Tuesday or Wednesday, ft will
contain almost $50,000,000 for the
army and navy and, while it will pass
when it reaches a vote, it may precipij
tate a 6tormy debate upon the conduct
of the war in the Philippines.
The answer of Secretary Gage to the
house resolution calling for informa
tion regarding the deposit of govern
ment funds in national banks is ex
pected early in the week. The report
will not constitute a privileged, ques
tion, which will open up debate, but if
it is deemed unsatisfactory to any one
resolutions of investigation mav fol
low.
The Roberts case will not get before
the house until the end of the week, at
the earliest, and probably not then.
The hearings have been adjourned un
til Wednesday and it is hardly likely
that the report can be prepared in
time for presentation this week.
Speechmaklng In the Senate.
The week in the senate necessarily
will be giv6n up largely to speech-
making. Beginning Monday morning
Senator Pettigrew's resolution asking
for information concerning the Philip
pine war will come up and he and
probably other senators will speak
upon it. This will occur during the
morning hour.
Senator Morgan has given notice of
a speech on Monday, in which he will

It is generally believed they will
seek to raise a federal question and
take the case into the United States

which could be raised, they say, would
be on the ousting of Lieutenant Gov
