The principal feature of the programme in the house this week will be the bill to place three new stars in the American flag. The omnibus bill for the admission of Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arizona to statehood will be called oo Tuesday. The friends of the bill do not desire protracted debate on it, and will try to secure a vote on that day. There is much opposition to tlie bill on tlie Republican side of the house, on tlie ground that the territories are not yet fitted for statehood. Republicans this week will relieve the Democrats of tlie necessity of supplying all the speakers in tlie senate on the present Philippine government bill. The events of lust week caused Ibein to decide to take part in tlie debate, and they will lead off when the bill shall be laid before tlie senate. Ollier measures which will receive attention during the week are the sundry civil appropriation bill and the bill providing for tlie opening to settlement of tlie Rosebud ludiuna reservation in South Dakota.
