WASHINGTON, December %. .-.Senator Van
Wyck has been endeayoring for some days
in the Senate to get q chance to damage
the administration OF the Interior Depart
ment under Secretary Teller. The feuds
Of Western politicians discount those of
the Fast and Teller seems 10 be the target
pretty continuously Of either outraged
innocence or malignant venom. His quar-
rel with Senator Hill is still bitter and
some Of the charges made by the latter
touch so closely upon the matter OF person
al honesty that au Investigation OF things
would seem to be always in order.
In the House the interest OF proceedings
during the week has been mainly confined
10 election cases before noted. Hoar, OF
Michigan, shows an inclination to retain
his plsCe as the humOrist on the Republi-
can side and discussed the proposition TO
dIyiae the Commerce Committee IN u way
which smused the floor and galleries not
little. He suggested that the Ways and
Means might be divided into two section,
the Ways end to consider propositions to
build up and the Means end TO nave charge
Of plans TO tear down American industries
and that the Foreign Relations Committee
night also be separated 50 that one end
could look after the Irish question and the
other have control of other outside rela-
tiUIs. Ian.

WASHINGTON, December 22.-Congress
virtually wound up its work preceding the
holiday recess when it adjourned on
Thursday. the understanding being that no
business would be transacted at either end
of Tie Capitol on Mondsy except the an
nouncr ment of the standing committees Of
the House by Speaker Carlisle. Hence q
good many Senators and nearly all the
Representatives Who DO not think their
places on committees will be affected by
their absence from the city have already
vanished from the scene.
This holiday recess business has grown
to be good deal Of farce. There is al
ways aYirtuouS determination expressed by
s me me- mbers at tie beyil ming of the sss-
sion to 30 away with it sltog: tser. As the
time approaches, however, these heroic res
olutioDs weaken. As an old time CeNgress-
man expressed il, the Christmas turkey
calls US home The rstormers weaken
and admit that il wou'j be rs well TO al
iourn over the two days OF Christmas and
New Years. Then i il suggested that no.
body would be OIL hand 20 DO business in
the interim, and the House bill provides
{ The week between as a vacation period.
ne Senate holds that time must be given
fer M mbsrs to digest their holiday food
and get back without hUrrying, and makes
il week longer. Tie House demonstrates
entity, but the Senate is firm and the con-
,Cquence is that everything goes over for a
fortnight and sometimes runs we'll into
three weeks.
Perhaps il Is jas. as well so far al the
country is concerned, for there is general
impression that We are governed TO mucn.
The on Y i'll eff, cts are seen in the later
days Ci the session, when the two houses,
with mass of business on ther hands
that might have been del,be -atsly cInslG-
cred earlier, get crowded, 90 into the night
