WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.—The senate proceedings for the week will open with a speech by Senator Pettigrew dealing with the Hawilan question which wil be delivered Monday. Be yond this speech It Is very difficult to forecast the outlook for the week. Tin diversion occasioned by taking up the Teller bond resolution has left the sen ate In a somewhat disorganized and unsettled condition with no prear ranged program. Senator Pettigrew's speerh will be made during the morning hour und the probabilities are now that at Its conclusion, or at least at 2 o'clock, one of the general appropriation bills will be called up. The army and the legislative appropriation bills are al ready on the calendar, and the consid eration of the agricultural bill has been completed by the committee, so that It will be reported on Monday. The probabilities arc that the army bill will be the first of these measure.: to receive consideration, though there Is some disposition to displace It with the legislative bill. Senator Allison, chairman of the committee on appproprlatlons, said that It was his Intention to have the appropriation bills considered before other measures, and if he adheres to tills determination the week may be largely taken up with them So far as ran now be seen there ar*' few features In the bills already re ported calculated to a.ouse discussion. There Is a feeling In certain quarters that the army b.il should be amended by a provision for the Increase of the nrmy, and if such a change should be attempted it would give rise to a very spirited debate. The census hill, also, will be pressed for consideration during the week, and Senator Carter, chairman of the cen sus committee, said today that lie was very honeful of securing its passage In the near future. The debate unon the civil service bill will be resumed when this bill Is taken up, and the bill will be amended as to give the secretary of the census bureau to the secretary of the interior. The bimetallist republican senators are still discussing the advlsabilltlv of renewing the financial agitation In the senate by the introduction of some measure of their own. though thev do not seem ouite so Indent upon this course as thev appeared to be imme diately succeeding the vote upon the Teller resolution. If they present a resolution it will probablv be a declaration to the effect, that in* Crlted States Is not committed to tne gold standard. The resolution renorted from the senate committee <>n privileges and elections declaring Mr. Corbett not to be entitled to a seat In the senate from Oregon 1b also on the senate cal endnr and there Is a disposition in some quarters o dispose of this a" speedily as possible. It Is a question of the highest privilege and can be taken un at anv time, displacing any other subject before u*e senate. In view n, all the possibilities fot debate and delay involved In these var ious measures. It Heenis quite Imnroh atite that the Hawaiian treaty will re eeive much attention, at least In ever "five session, during the week. Still Senator Davis chairman of the com mittee on foreign relations, announce? it to be his purnose to mov<» an t>\. endive session for the consideration of the treatv on Monday: but It Is pea that l>n I •/» pressure from senators who hnvr other measures ronu/’-ine: immedinti attention to postpone this motion foi a few da vs. He .iw not. however admit such a probability.

Pegram, chief eng-neer, of the system, with headquarters in >maha. His resignation was handed to President Hurt a few days ago In New York and the news becamj known in Omaha this mornlg on the reuin of Chief Engineer Pegram from the east. Mr. Pegram has accepted the posi tion of consulting engineer of the Manhattan Elevated Itullroad com pany of New York. In thts position he will rn^k above the chief engineer of that company, and will hold, it Is sold, what Is regarded as one of the most responsible engineering positions in the United Stales. It is believed that in a remunerative way his new position will be worth more than double the plaee he lias just decided to give up. He has been In New York for several weeks past, and is said to have had the offer of his new position under consideration for some time. Ha will lenvo for New York this evening, though he will not remove his home there for some time yet. (ieorge H. Pcgran has been chief en gineer of the Union Pacific for abou. six years, having a i tpted the position under President (’lark He is well known In engineering circles not only in this country, but abroad, and since hki connection with the Union Pacific he hn3 brought up tlie enxin e,-lng de partment until'It has Keen regarded as one of the very strongest depart ments of the company, and as ttrong as the engineering detainment of any western railroad.

The new steel bridges of the Union Pacific In Wy oming, Idaho at <1 Kan'as have all bee a erected under his direction, and most of them include the Pegram trios. The announcement that Ghltf En gineer Pegram had resigned created quite a stir In Union Pacific circles this morning.

WASHINGTON. .Ian. 111.—It is the intention of the house leaders to offset, so far as possible, the action of the senate In passing the Teller resolution by killing that declaration of the sense ' of congress regarding the paym ttt of ; the government's bonds In sll.er on I an aye and nay vote In the house this ; week. This will be the feature of the - proceedings. While t ie republican strength in the house cannot be com-> ; mantled against the tesolution, no i doubt is expresed by those who have ! made It their business to canvass the ; situation that the majority against it will bo decisive. As soon as ...e resolution Is reported back from the ways and means com mittee, which may he today, the rules committee will bring in a sp cial order for its consideration. The time allowed for debate Is likely to be brief, as the leaders do not believe there is any ne cessity for prot; acted debate anil moreover a long discussion will meas urably decrease the very purpose they have in view—namely, a prompt and decisive negative reply to the senates declaration. The renr’inder of th's week will be ton in the annropiiat on til s The District of Columbia is still under dis cussicn and the for.iflcat.ions bill Is on | the calendar. The house leaders in ; tend to glvo appropriation bills the right of way in order to make an early I adjournmi nt possible. ■ he moment the apropriatlon bills are out of the way the new rules will be brought in and after that the contested ele-ilon | cases and the bankruptcy bill will he brought forward.

Nrnulnr Stewart l.rit.D Off In Favor of the Reaolutlon—He la Followe.l by Mr. ■loiiea of Arkainuts The ITrat speech In Opposition Ulven by Mr. Unrruwa of Michigan. Clow of the Silver Debate WASHINGTON, Jau. 29.- In accord ance with agreement vue senate con vened at 10 o'clock yesterday. . cliuplalu being ausent. the vice presi dent opened the. session without the usual Invocation Hy unanimous consent tne routine business was waived and Mr. Stewart (Nev.) opened the last day’s .scus sion on the Tr.ler resolution. In sup porting the resolution Mr. Stewart maintained that money, whether It be silver or gold or paper, was a creature of law, the creation of money being Inherent In all tndepem cut nations. He said that this statement had been upheld by the highest of tnounals and cited historical Instances of such crea tion of money. After u legal discussion of th.' money question, Mr. Stewat. says, referring to the speech of President McKinley In New York last night, that he re gretted to set that the president, had not studied this question more deeply and that he was utterly ralsgti.. cd. He quoted the following sentence from ! the president's speech: "Nothing should ever tempt us—nothing ever will tempt us to Fcalr down the sa cred debt of the nation through a legal technicality. Whatever ntay be the language of tli<> contract, the Pnlted States will discharge all of Its obligations In the currency recognized as the best throughout the civilized world at the time of payment.” Iteferrlnu to Secretary Gape. Mr. fib wart sal<l lie believed the secretary to he an honest man- a man who would not roll a hank, but he said It ; was difficult for Mr. Gage to look at this question, except from the stand point of a hanker. Me thought It unfortunate that the president had placed the treasury department In charge of bankers, but he was glad the president had thrown off the cloak and made the issue directly with the people. Mr. Jones (Ark.) began his speech In support, of the resolution by criti cising the position taken by Mr. Alli son fla.l. He thought the resolution would squarely align those who held the various financial beliefs. Me said the advoeutes of the resolution pro posed to pay the full pound of flesh due, hut absolutely not a bit more. The first speech of the day in op- j position lo the Teller resolution was delivered by Mr. Burrows (Mich.). He said that the republican party was pledged to secure If possible Interna tional blmetai.ism and the president would do evrythlng In his power to carry out that pledge. Meantime the existing gold standard would be main tained. I'ntil the international agree ment was secured the purpose of the administration was to continue the kind of bimetallism we have now, whereby r.00,000,000 silver dollars were , maintained at a parity with gold. Any ! proposition which looks to the aban- j donment of this position, which was likely to create a disparity between the coins of the country, was in vio lation of the public faith and in dero gation of the rights of the public cred itor. In conclusion Mr. Burrows said that the passage of this resolution fortunately could accomplish nothing. It might tend to alarm the business interests of the country and retar., to some extent the advance of prosperity, but bv the statements of the president of the I’nlteil States Iasi night the country was assured ,nat the Government obligations would no discharged In the best money In the world. Mr. Wolcott followed lu support of the Teller resolution. He thought any senator, whatever his financial views, could vote for the Teller resolution, as it involves nothing except he carry- ; ing into effect of the government's plain obligations. He thought lugging into the debate the rights of pension ers was entirely Irrelevant. He could Imagine, however, what sort of treat ment tile pensioner.! would receive from the Indianapolis convention or from the New York Clearing House association. He thought that the de nunciation and abuse heaped upon those who snnported the resolution was unwarranted. I hiiioif slay (lerinsii Tan*. SHANGHAI.

The universal article of diet In that country, depended upon and Indispens able, is bread or biscuit. And to make the bread and biscuit, either In the camp or upon the trail, yeast cannot be used—It must be baking powder; and the powder manufactured by the pro cesses of the Royal Baking Powder Company, miners and prospectors have learned. Is the only one which will stand In that peculiar climate of cold and dampness and raise the bread and biscuit satisfactorily. These facts are very Important for every one proposing to go to Alaska and the Yukon country to know, for should he be persuaded by some out fitter to take one of the cheap brands of baking powder, It will cost Just as much to transport It, and then when lie opens It for use, after all his labor' In packing It over the long and difficult route, he will find a solid caked mass or a lot of spoiled powder, with no strength and useless. Such a mlstake mlght lead to the most serious results. Alaska Is no place In which to experi ment in food, or try to economize with your stomach. For use In such a climate, and under the trying and fatiguing conditions of life and labor In that country, everything must be j the best and most useful, and above I all It Ih Imperative that all food sup plies shall have perfect keeping <|iia!i tles. It Is absurd to convey over such difficult and expensive routes an arti cle that will deteriorate In transit, or that will be found when required for [ use to have lost a great part of Its. ] value. There Is no better guide to follow In these matters than the advice of those who have gone through similar experi ence, Mr. MeQiiesten, who Is called "the father of Alaska." after an experl- ^ ence of years upon tbo trail, In the camp, ami In the use of every klml of supply, says: "We flnil In Alaska that (he Importance of a proper kind of i baking powder cannot he overesti mated. A miner with a can of bad baking powder Is almost helpless In Alaska. We have tried all sorts, and ; have been obliged to settle down to use nothing but the Royal, It Is stronger and carries further at first, but above all things, It is the only powder that will endure the severe climatic changes of the arctic region." It is for the same reasons that the United States government In Its relief expeditions, and Peary, the famous arctic traveler, have carried the Royal Raking Powder exclusively. The Royal Raking Powder will not , cake nor lose its strength either on board ship or In damp climates, and is the most highly concentrated and effi cient of leavening agents. Hence it. is indispensable to every Alaskan outfit.
