Show weeks promise interesting navy and financial bills preeminent the world over the weeks of news making events is unusually interesting in congress the committee rooms rather than the floors of the senate and the house are now tae centers of interest and will continue to be so for some almo thus far no really important measure has received the sanction of a committee in either house if the penal code hill be except cd and even on that measure all the work had been done before the beginning of the present session the two subjects which are attracting attention to the exclusion of almost everything else are the financial bill and the naval personnel bill the former by senator aidrich and the latter by senator hale the senate committee on finance will take up the aidrich bill at its sitting next tuesday it Is not believed that the democrats will make any determined ter mined opposition to the bill in committee and the indications are that it will bo given a on the senate calendar sooner than even the republican advocates of the measure expected there will be some effort to amend it both in committee and in the senate but whether amended or not it will bo debated in the senate at length even though the democrats themselves chuld favor the passage of the measure they would not permit the session to go by without discussing the financial situation and the aidrich bill will afford them the best opportunity for this the democrats will take advantage of every chance to make campaign material out of the situation but in the end they will not stand in th way of such legislation as the republican leaders may agree upon senator hales bill will receive its first attention at the hands of the senate committee on naval affairs during the present week but it will probably be some almo before the measure can be reported to the senate there Is little doubt that hearings will be ordered it will be quite impossible to avoid touching upon the retirement of admiral brownson and it the subject is once opened there is no telling to what extent it may be pursued the general question of fhe reorganization of the navy is of itself very important but the addition of the brownson incident has added much to the general interest in the proposed investigation chairman tawney of the house committee on appropriations will be in his seat monday morning and the committee will immediately proceed with the consideration of the appropriation pria tion bills the voluminous bi providing for the codification of the penal laws holds the right of way in both houses it has
