B) Kdihc Wire fiom The A'lodaled l'riai. Washington, Jan. in. The calendar of the house of lepresentntlves is Mill rather meagre In impoitant hills, so that theie does not promlhc to he a heavy prossuic of business during the coining week. Monday is the tegular suspen sion day, but theie are few moasuies likely to bo passed by suspension of the lilies. The uigent deficiency appiopii ntlon bill 'will occupy most of the time dining the llrst few thus of the week. It carries, a total or SIG.700,000, which is rather large for a deliclc-ncy ineiisuie, and It Is expected that two dnjs will be occupied In Its eonsideiallon. 13eyond this theie is piactie.illy no piogiamme for the week, as the bills leady for con sideration are not of sutllclent import ance to secuie definite time in advance, ecept in the case of the Hill bill, for the c-xchangeabilltv of silvei and gold. It will be some time befoie opinion Is sufficiently matured on this measuic to induce the leadens to set u time for con sldeintlon. In the Senate. The Philippine quest Ion will be pie clpltated in the .senate tomouoiv, when the committee on the Philippines, which has had the house Philippine tailff bill under consiileiatlon, expects to leport the measure. The bill, with Its com mittee amendments, w 111 be sent to the pi inter, and Senatoi Lodge, chalinun nt the committee, will give notice of his intention to call it up on the following day and ask for its continued consider ation until finally disposed of. Theie Is a geneial aciinleseeiice of Republican senatois in this pi ogi amine. Theie aie other important men sines to be piesented at the pioper time by aei mlnlhtiation senatois. but the present ngieement Is to pass the Philippine bill (list, as being of the most Immediate Impoitance. A long discussion ot the bill Is ex pected by the Republicans and piom ietl by the Democrats. The Demo cratic leading say they do not expi et to be able to deteat the bifl, and dis claim all intention to delay n ole un necessarily, but they say fiankly that they consider that it affouls an op poi tunlty for the pies-entatlon of their view of the enthe Philippine, question, which tney cannot tiftmd to let pass. Renatoi Lodge will open the discus sion with a biiet' speech on Tuesdav, in which lie will discuss the meilts of the bill and also the necessity for eni ly action. lie will be followed bj some member of the Demon atio rqpiesenln 1lou on tlv (ominlttec, who will out line, the Demociatic position. He, in tllin, will be followed by other Demo ciatic senatois. Many of the senatois on the Demoiratlc side aie expected to be heaid befoie final action shall be seemed. Indeed, trie picdlctlon Is Jieely made that a vote will not be obtained within a month. Senator Lodge's plan Is to hold the measuic to the front, to the exclusion of all other business when the bill Is once made the unfinished business, Ship Subsidy Bill. Tomouow' Senator Frye piobably will lepoit the ship subsidy bill, but ho will not attempt to secuie consldoin tion for It for th? pietent, and ptoh iibly not until after the Philippine bill (hall have been disposed of.

DEMOCRATIC REPORT ON COINAGE EXCHANGE Believe Bill to Exchange Gold for Legal Tender Silver Would Cieate an Endless Chain on Reserve. By Ktcluilie Wile from The As-odatul l'lc. Washington, Jan. 19. The Deinociat Ic mcmbeis of the house committee on coinage, weights and measures have agieed on a minoiity lepoit on the bill dliecting the secietaiy of the tieasuiy "to pchanife gold foi letkil tender silver dollnis," and the lepoit will be piesented to the house tomoi uiw by Mr. Shnfiotli. The lepoit lakes the position that the passage of the bill is ceitain to pioduce lluantial distui buncos. The following1 genci.il pioposltlon Is laid down: "Our government has neer conced ed the light to tin- holder of sitter dollais to demand fiom the Iteasuty gold theiefoi, nor to the holder ot gold to demand sllor dollars tbeiefor. Such demands alwajs hae been le fused at the tieasuiy. It Is the notes and bonds of the go eminent that .no pajable In either gold or slher at the option of the holder. The lollow lng leasons whj sink a mensuie should not be enacted aie Eh en: Flist, It will lequiie a l.uge Inciease of the gold teseixe of the tieasuiy for if the obligations upon a leseno are luci cased the leseive should be cor lespondlngly enlaiged. If It requlies $150,000,000 of gold to act as a leseive for the ledemptlon of $"lfi,000,0oo of United States notes called gieenbacks and $40,'JS l.osii of tieasuiy notes issued under tlie Sheinun ail, will It not take at least $u00,000,00u In gold, saj.s the le poit, to act as a nseite when the f,"i30,7u.Mil7 of slher dollais and slher cei tllkaU-s ate made a direct chatge upon the leserw? Second, It will cieate a new endless chain upon thu gold icserve of the tieasuiy and theieby plunge the gov ernment deeper Into the banking busi ness. If the endless chain upon the treas. my caused by tin ledemptiou and ic Issue of Kieepbaci;-" Is a continual dialn upon the cold lesenc and a soveie stialn upon the goxeintnent, how much mote of a dialn and stialn will the Si !0,000,000 of nt-w obligations upon that leserve Impose ? The go ei anient now hns the power to call an absolute hall to a laid upon Its gold leseive by Impounding the BieenbaeUs and .tieasuiy notes, but If sliver Is made ledeetnable In gold, It cannot do so until It impounds also the $;30,000,(i00 ot silver dollais and nil 's er eei llllcates. When theio Is a inn on the tieasuiy for gold. It Is the sal tation ot' (oiuniei.it and the icseno to have lu circulation a' cuiieucy whiih Imposes no fui titer demand on that metal. The bill will plunge the guv. eminent deeper into-the banking busi ness. Thltd-lt will facilitate the expm ta tion of gold. As the $;!fct!,uQ0.fiii0 of our cuireiiey ledeemable In gold is scattered ull over the count! y, It Is dlllliult for largo e porteis of yolil to collect htifllclent of that cuiieucy to picaent for icdemp tion, Rut If sliver cettlflcntes, hlch foiin tho stent bull; of the curtency that cli dilutes, can be presented for pu.wuont in gold, then it becomes an easy matter to compel the government to tuiulsh all the gold for expoi tntion.
