THIs WEEK IN CONGRESS.
The House Still without Rules Of It's
own to Guide It

own to Guide It.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-When the Fifty
second congress resssembles next Tuesday,
after the holiday recess, it will find itself
far less capable Of entering upon actual
legislative business than any of its predeces-
sors during recsnt years. The committees
OF the Senate, owing 10 the late date of
their reorganization, have been
unable to place upon the calend RS
any or reports that properly engross the at
tention OF be Senate at this stage of the first
session. Consequently there will probably
be little for that branch 20 do next week
beyond listening to speeches and acting
upon some resolutions of minor importance
that may be brought before it for immedi-
ate confederation, as well as nominations
sent in by the President.
THE SITUATION IN THE HOUSE.
The illness of Speaker Crisp has prevented
the House committee on rules from aYailiug
of the holiday recess for the preparation Of
a code of rules for the direction Of the bust
ness OF the House. That branch Of
the national legislature is now EN-,
barked on the trackless sea Of
general parliamentary law. Mr.. Crisp's
present condition warrants the presumption
that he will NOT be able to pres de when the
House reaasemblss next Tuesday, and in
conformity with the requirements Of the
general parliamentary rule, the clerk, Mr.
Kerr. will call the body to order.
THE SPEAKER PRO TEN.
A speaker pro tempOre will be elected,
probably Mr.. McMillin. as Mr.. Mills, who
has also been mentioned in that connection,
will not be washington, and an effort will
probably be made to secure the adoption OF
the Springer resolution, now pending be-
fore the committee on rules, providing for
the adoption Of the rules OF the Fiftieth
congress until further order is taken. II
this is done, the various COM
mittees having the general sppropria-
ton bills in charge will be able to enter upon
the preparation Of these measures, aud the
wheels Of legislation will begin to revolve.
There is some talk Of holding democratic
House caucus tomorrow night to fully de,
fine this programme, but in view of the
number Of absent representatives it has
not yet been determined to call the caucus.

POLICY OF THE NEW CABINET.
PARIS, Jan. 8.-The Voltairs prints an
interview with Senior Malta, late Chilean
miaister of foreign affairs, touching upon
the composition of the new cabinet in Chile

to adopt. The new ministry. said Senior

protecting the intereSts of Chile while,
at the same time, its endeavor will
20 to inspire foreign governments with con-
fidence in its stability. The government,
added Senior Malta, would command large
majority in congress, and would thus be

Her Maiesty's Government are to be com,
mended for the prompitude with which hey have
placed before the country the text Of the cor
respOndenee with the Government of the Unit
ed State s respecting the Behring Sea negotiation
The Parliamentary papers issued yesterday after
noon contain an important telegraphic message
to Sir Julian Pauncefote, despatched as late
as Saturday. Accompanying the correspondence
is the text Of the Arbitration Treaty, the sub
stance of which had been already published.
From Feb. 8 to the present time the CORES,
pondenCe has been conducted wholly by tele-
graph, ,On Feb. %, seeing that the arbitrl-
ton cannot be concluded within the period
originally contemplated,
The President suggests that the modas rirso-
d should be similar in terms to that If Last
year, but that it should be more fully execl-
ted. More efficient measures on the part 1T
her Maiesty's Government will be pracica-
bic this year owing to the earlier date. More
seals than ever were taken last year. the de-
parture Of the sealing vessels having taken
place previous to the agreement as to tho
modus rirendi. The prevention of sealing iu
the North Pacific Ocean would be the most
effective measure for her Muiesty's Govern
ment to adopt. The large number Of sealers
preparing to 90 forth from British Columbia
would have to receive notice of this. The
number Of sealers is reported to be larger
than ever this year.
On Feb. q Lord Salisbury replied, denying
that there had been delays on the part of the
British Government, and adding:
The consent of her Majesty's Govern
ment was given last year to a modGs ujreadi
solely on the ground that the preservation Of
the seal species in those waters was supposed
to be endangered unless some interval were
given during which there would be accusation
of hunting both on land and sea. No infor-
nation has reached her Majesty's Government
to lead them to suppose that SO drastie a mea-
sure is requisite for two successive seasons.
Lord Salisbury suggests as a compromise that
during the present year the killing of seals at
sea should be p1ohibited within a given ra-
diuS not exceeding thirty nautical miles round
the Pribyloff Islands, on condition that the
number of seals to be killed for any purpose
on the island shall be restricted to a definite
