WHAT CONGRESS WILL DO. Opinions of Leaders in the Senate and | House. Tne Republic Bureau, 14th St. aud Pennsylvania Ave. Washington, Dec. 3.—The Repub- lic correspondent has interviewed the majority of the members of both |houses who have arrived at the capital with regard to to the prob able work to be accomplished by the coming session of Congress. There is almost unanimous agreement that nothing will be done with the cur- reacy. Some think it probable that the House may attempt to pass a measure, but all admit that it will die in the Senate. There will bea final and deter- mined fight in the Senate against the anvexation treaty, but there is a probability that it will be ratified. There is general opinion that a voluntary bankruptcy law will be evacted; and the majority are inclined to think that immigration and inter- state commerce will be disposed of this winter. There is no belief that general legislation will extend beyond these subjects, although there will be a wide range of debate, covering civil service amendments among other!
