NEITHER POWER WILL OF WEEK Rate Bill Will Occupy the Senate's Time. HOUSE WILL BE BUSY Has Many Measures to Consider -Statehood Bill to Be Settled. THE OUTLOOK AT ALGECIRAS Postponement of the Conference Until March 20th Gives Hope That France and Germany May Agree Strike Situation. WASHINGTON, March 18.-The fore cast, of the week's events is as follows: The debate on the railroad rate bill will be continued in the Senate during the present week. The prospect is that the bill will more completely monopolize attention this week than last, for while under previous arrangement, the bill could not be taken up until 2 o'clock, under Tillman's present policy the bill can be taken up each day as soon as the routine business is completed. j The House this week will consider ai bill abolishing the grade of lieutenant- general, the legislative appropriation ; bill, some minor bills and possibly the : post oflice appropriation biU. Although ' the program is not yet determined, it is expected the statehood lull will lie brought into the House Wednesday and disposed of. The fact that the Algeciras conference has adjourned until March 20th has given rise to the hope that France and (icrniany in the meantime will reach a basis of accord. At Algeciras the symptoms of an agreement are consid ered inoiv favorable, which the repre sentatives "of the neutral nations ar? energetically endeavoring to influence by mutual concessions. Bituminous operators to the number of six hundred arc expected to arrive at Indianapolis today to confer with the mine workers. The situation in the, FORECAST threatened coal strike appears unchang- j unions were adopted today by a meet cd. the outcome being in the hands of j j i,Pu i,v ()le Utah Federation of La the minris. The l!van resolution has been practically rescinded and the re port of the scale committee being fa vorable there is every indication that conservatism will govern the final de liberations of the miners and operators.

The general disposition of the delegates continues inclined toward optimism, but there i no further apparent move made in a solution of the points at issue.

This decision coming after the conference between the foreign minister and Prince Von Radolin on Saturday is considered to show that while the Mo roccan knot is not yet untied and while the end of the conference is not in sight, hopes are still undiminished that a solution of the difficulty will be found. The premier's position is rendered more difficult owing to the uncompromising attitude of the newspapers, the Temp taking the le.id. which states that France bus reached the utmost limit on both the police and bank questions and this view has the support of a very influ ential body of opinion. The premier therefore hesitates at a further conces sion, realizing that further yielding will render the ministry unpopular to the last degree. the governors of Idaho and Colorado for an alleged conspiracy to deprive the defendants of their constitutional rights.
