Expectation that a Good Deal of Work Will
BE Done Before the Holidays.
gpecial to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-Enthusiastic Demo
cratic members are saying the House will do a
good deal of work before the holidays. They
believe the Speaker will announce the commit
tees on the day following the convening of the
House, and that there will be a call of the States
and Territories on Wednesday. The first call of
the House will be fruitful of an immense num-
Der of bills ard petitions. no doubt. for on every
hand one hears Of pet schemes and private
favors which are to come up in bills.
The first day of the session, of course, will be
consumed in the election of officers and the read
ing of the Presidents message. In the Senate
there will be little done during the week. A
Vlce-president pro tempore will have to be
chosen and the comittees partially reorganized.
This Will require time, as il will necessitate eau
Gus consultation, and until this is done no work
will be accomplished. Further than a reorgani-
cation OF both houses, and meetings of the com
mlttees for the arrangement OF sub commit
tees, the first week will not turn out much work.
Ii there is any discussion on the floor of either
body it can only arise from some resolution or
proposition of minor MISUNDERSTANDING, of
course, the freaks of eccentric politicians.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30-"Do you believe the
Presidents message will have much weight in
the formation of matters in Congress9" l in
guired of an old Democratic member from the
South.
"No." was the quick reply. presidents mess
ages do not generally have much force. except
where the majority in both branches is positive
in its support Of the administration. There is
not a majority even in the House for anything
the President may recommend. So far as the
majority in the House is concerned, it is no
majority at all. 1t will cling together for the
Bpoils of the organization, but that is all. 1t
does not stand together on finance, commerce,
international affairs or anything else. The
minority, as usual, is a solid phalanx, and with
the kickers in the majority can defeat almost
anything. No, the administration will not be
supported, even in the House. The Senate,
which is always conservative, and never quarrel
some, will do better for the administration than
the House, where every Democrat has a chip on
his shoulder and a knife in his sleeve. 1t is pro-
voking. | can tell you, and it worries the Presi-
dent, this condition of affairs"
