representatives that when that body
meets on Wednesday next it will imne-
daloly adjourn for three days and that
successive similar adjournments will
take place unit January 8, unless In tho

appointment To many senators who had
lnade arrangements to leave the city,
and, although the senate meets to-
morrow, 1t may be without
quorum, and therefore unable 10
transact any business except
by ignoring the fact. If quorum is
present in the senate, the Interstate
commerce bill, the bill TO forfeit the
land grant OF the Oregon Central rail
road and the Hill silver resolution are
unfinished matters upon which speeches
may be made, but IL IL unlikely that
action viii be taken in respect
TO any important question during
tho absence of many senators wbS
have left the city not to return until
after New Year. Two temporary naval
app opriation bills are pending, one
providing for the naval establishment
Tor the last half of he current fiscal
year, and ono making provision
for The m nth OF January. Either
