WAsHINGTON'S WISE MEN.
A Slim Attendance Probable at th
Coming Session.

A Slim Attendance Probable at the
Coming Session.
WASHINGTON, Nov 26.-The last week
of the vacation Of the Fiftieth congress
opens with less than fifty of the S25 mem
bers of the House in the city, and from the
present indications full House may not be
secured until after the holidays. Barely a
dozen senators are here, and the prospects
on that side of the capitol are about the
same as in the lower branch.
Speaker Carlisle is expected to arrive to-
morrow to prepare for the opening of the
session. There is considerable work for
him to do in this line.
The mail of the members is unusually
heavy, especially that of the republicans.
On them now falls the burden of the office
seeking correspondence bornesfor the last
four years by their democratic5 colleagues
More than one-half the letters received are
petitions for places.
CONTROL OF THE NEXT CONGRESS.
AS to the composition of the House in the
Fifty-first congress, there is nothing new in
the situation. The democratic off,
will organize it, although the
majority will be very small. Gen
Clark, clerk of the present House, to-day
received the certificates of Mr.. Catchings
of Mississippi and Mr.. Wheeler of Ala
bama, the first on the list, except Mr.. Her
mann's of Oregon, whose certificate came
in last August.
Sidney E. Mudd, republican, who was
defeated by Barnes Compton in the Fifth
Maryland district, will contest the latter's
right to his seat alleging that he has been
counted out, and that he can show this by
the returns filed at Annapolis.
TALK OF AN EXTRA SESSION
There is some talk of an extra session
being called by President Harrison. 1t is
desired by the representatives of the terri
tories awaiting admission. Delegate Gift
ford OF Dakota stopped at indianapolis on
his way TO Washington, and
had conference with Prei
dent-elect Harrison on the subject.
He was informed that the calling of an
extra session would depend largely, if not
altogether, on the wishes of congress, and
Mr.. Clifford came on to consult with the
members about it. He says the people Of
Dakota are expecting an extra session and
arranging to take advantage at once of the
passage of an Grabbing act by congress.

Many Sailors Rescued by the Brave
Life Saving Crew.
Boston, Nov. 26-The terrible effects of
last nights storm have been everywhere
manifest along the coast to-day.
Although the loss of life already reported

but for the brave efforts of Capt. Joshua
James and his volunteer life-saving crew of
hull, who are credited with saving twenty
eight persons from various disabled vessels.
On Sunday afternoon a large three master
went broadside on the beach at Hull. Capt
James and his men rushed for the Hunt
gun breeches buoy and life boat of the
Massachusetts, Humane Society at Stony
beach, and after strenuous efforts they sue
ceeded in bringing ashore the crew of
nine men from the schooner, which proved
to be the Cox and Green, from Philadelphia
Tor Chelsea with coal. The vessel is now
last breaking up.

Hardly had the band of rescuers COM
pleted their work at this point before an
other vessel was discovered on the rocks,
about oneeghth of a mile further Off the
beach, but further from shore than the
COX and Green. Hurriedly rushing their
apparatus to the nearest available location,
they found that the distance was too great

Sne SIne surf boat was quickly manned.
Inc waves were tremendous, and it
was only after a hard and persistent
struggle that the vessel was reached, their
oat ooat twice swamping. The boat was at
iaSt brought under the vessels bow, and
the crew of eight men swung themselves
INTO 1t. The return to shore was a perilous
trlp, the boat filling several times, but it
was nnaly thrown on the beach among the
ROCKS oya huge wave and entirely smashed.
fortunately the water was shallow and
tne occupants waded ashore. This vessel
wa was the Gertrude Abbott, Capt. Henry
thompson, from Philadelphia to Boston,
WITH coal. The vessel is in good condition.
Ihe sails are well furled, everything is
s%ndlng, and she will probably be saved
"hen the storm abates.
THEIR THIRD TRIP.
The volunteer life savers, after seeing the
!.eScued men well provided for, con-
unued their patrol of the beach, and
at daybreak sighted as third vessel
ashore about half mile northeast of the
hooott. She could not be reached by the
tpreeches buoy, and as their surf boat mad
Seen demolished, the tireless men started

muge breakers and landed a crew Of seven
MHien. ina schooner was the three-master

depot, will go at the next high tide if the
storm continues. The sea has not run so
high as it did to-day since 1873. The

AUsTRIA'S LANDWEHR.
Tho Government to Ee Prepared to
Mobilize It.

VIENNA, Nov. 26.-At meeting of tho
budget committee, Count Welzerheimb
stated that it was necessary to expedite
measures for enabling the government to
mobilize the landwehr. Formerly vigorous
and prompt use of the landwehr was not
contemplated. But the present military
and political situation demanded either a
material increase of the army, or such
effective arrangements that the landwehr
would be able to answer all calls upon
troops in the field. The expenditures affixed
to the budget for this purpose would amount
to 1,04l, 400 forms, and included the sum to
be used for the purchase of rifles, which
were being made at the rate of $4,000 per
month
