WASHINGTON, Jan. 1!. The really Im
norta'nt work of the- hoose of represent
tlves. aside from, the Nicaragua hill, I.
till In the committee stage, .0 that there
It little of Importance to be considered
during .the coming week. Monday will be
glvga.itobllL affecting the District of Co
lumbia. After ' that the pension appro
priation bill will be pasted. Although this 1 witness a greater display ot activity In
measure carrle .about $139,000,000, It fol- the senate committee rooms than In tho
low. the department estimates and. does senate chamber, There are very few mat
not involve any serious Itsues, te tbatl term of importance on the calendar, but
m a. ..II..
after a brief explanation 01 11 usuaiiy
follows promptly.
Tho ways and means committee nss a tow
minor bills on tho calendar, for the re
demption of revenue stamps made worth-
loss by the repeal ot certain ioaturc 01
the war revenue act. With the disposal of
these bills there will be little to engago
the attention of tho house and thero prom
ises to be several periods of adjournments
during which time the committees wilt
complete the largest measuro to bo brought
before the house.
The chief Interest of the week will cen
ter in hearings on Cuban reciprocity, to
begin at 10) o'clock Wednesday morning,
before the ways and means committee. The
hearings will continue for several days, and
it Is expected that Oeneral Wood and others
prominent in Cuban affairs, a. well as the
Interest opposed to reciprocity, win au
dress tho committee.
Senate I.acka Definite Plan.
t
The stnate Is still without any definite
plan of actlou for the future, and the In
dications are that tho present week will
enough to engago attention tor a few hours
each day until Sunday, when the senate
will probably adjourn for tho week.
Among tho measures which there wlH
be an effort to get out ot committee dur
ing tho week are the Nicaragua canal bill,
the Philippine tariff bill and tho ship sub
sidy bill. The Indications aro that the
Nicaragua bill will be reported practically
as It paused the houso and that the ship
ping bill will not be materially amended,
but the republican leaders have practically
decided to mako a material reduction of
the tariff on Philippine exports. It Is not
probablo that tho discussion of either ot
these questions will begin for some time.
Tho utmost that is to be expected tn that
direction Is a preliminary arrangement for
consideration.
Which of the measures will receive first
consideration, is not yet determined, and
considerable rivalry is likely to devolop
for precedence. All three measures are
likely to be debated at considerable length
when taken up in the senate.
