Tho conspicu ous fortturo of the liouso proceedings this week will bo In connection with Cubnn resolutions, which nro now upon tho enl ondiir. Aftor tho objection raised by Mr. Uoutollo on Thursday last it became nl inostoertnln that unanimous coiKontcould not bo secured for tho consideration of tho resolutions, and as tho sunnto rimolutlons wore referred on Friday to the foreign af fairs committee it is certain thnt unusual methods will bo reqtifed to get the sub ject buforo tho house. Under tlio rules tho first nnd second Mondays ot onch month itro suspension days. Today, therefore, Is ono of tlio days wJion tho speaker could reoognlzo Mr. Hitt to move tho passage of tho resolu tions under a suspension of tho rules. Such a motion would require a two-thirds majority, but It Is not bolloveil that n dozen votos would bo recorded in oppo sition. Only thirty minutes' debnto on a side would bo allowed if such n motion woro mado. Tlio fact that tlio sonato resolutions wero referred to tho committee indicate thnt tho majority prefer the house to tho sennto resolutions, but when the quostlou comes before tho house, unless it is by special order, which would cut off amendment, a motion probably will bo made. to substi tute tho sennto resolutions. The latter notion would hnvo tho advantage of end ing tho matter. Dolny would bo a natural incident to the passago of n different set ot resolutions by oacli house, nnd tho temper .of members is enthusiastically in favor of action. Tlio senate probably will pnss tho ngrl ""'"rnl appropriation bill early in tho week. uutor Mitchell, of Oregon, chairman of tlio committee on privileges and elec tions, has given notico ot ills intention to call up tlio Dupont election enso on Wed nesday.

Senator 1'rltclmrd is scheduled to fol low Mr. Turplo, mid other luemborsof tho committeo will bo heard later. Thoro will lio a solid Hcpublioan vote in support of the proposition to sent Mr. Dupont, but there is ono short of a majority. It is bo lloveil that tho cntlro Democratic voto will lio cast against Dupont. Tlio llopublleans, therefore, rely entirely upon sccuriug at least a part of tho Populist voto. t-mJ .
