CONGRESS BEHIND.
Review Of What Has Been Done aud what
Has to He Done.

| Review Of What Has Been Done aud what
Has to lie Done
WASHINGTON, Dec 2T.-The present
session of the Fifty-sccond congress is
not quite up to the ante-holiday record
| of the short session of the Fifty-first
! congress The house has so far passed
the army bill and only the Notifications
bill has been reported. When the holi-
day recess Of the Fifty-first congress
was taken the army and the navy bills
had been reported and the fortification
and pension bills had been passed. be-
side a deficiency bill carrying with it
an appropriation of almost $500, 900.
Immediately on the assembling Of the
senate after the recess the army bill
will be reported and called up at an
early day. The total amount of this
bill as il passed the house was ga. 1877.
639 with an estimate of $25. ga, 955.
The bill was sent to the secretary of
war and the action of the senate in
making increases will depend
upon the report made To the
committee 10y the war depart
ment In the appropriations for the
ordnance department the house has al
lowed even more than the estimates
called for, this being due to the urgent
appeals made by the chief of that divis-
ion To the committee. IL was shown
that the ordnance department has been
subsisting for years upon the left over
stock from the late war and that the
surplus has been entirely used up
The appropriations committee will
probably reverse its usual order of
bringing forward the appropriation
bills and get two of the heaviest annual
bills-the sundry civil and Legislative.
executive and judicial appropriation
measures-into the house early in the
session, leaving the pension and
deficiency bills tO bring up the rear.
The Notifications bill has already been
reported and the District OF Columbia
bill should be ready the first week
after IL rcassembles. although Mr..
Dockery. of Missouri, who has IL In
charge. has already found that his lot
''is not happy one" II was expected
To report the bill before any other of
the regular appropriation measures, but
a large number Of local officers and 9th
ers came forward to show why the knife
of economy should not be- used to pare
projects in which they were interested,
and the holiday recess found the bill
still in the hands of the committee.
However, its preparation will be com.
plete in season to be taken up by the
house Immediately after the fortifica-
tion bill Is acted upon. The sundry civil
bill will reach the house during the
latter part Of January aud the iegisla-
tive about the close OF the month. The
pension bill. in the number Of It's items,
is small and can b. quickly prepared,
but the subcommittee has not yet
shown any signs Of getting 10 work on
IL and probably desires 20 wait as long
as practicable in order 10 get the very
latest information as TO the work Of adj
judication Of pension claims aad the
consequent amount Of money needed

PARIS Dec. CA story unmatched
In all history and without parallel in
standard fiction was told by a promi-
nent banker in explanation of the
series Of events which has eliminated
in the present crisis in France. 1t will
h. remembered in connection with
Baron Reinach's death that il was said
that the principal documents bearing On
the distribution of the vast Panama cor
ruptiOn funds had been stolen These
dangerous papers have for long time
been in possession of Cornelius Herr,
now fugitive in London, who for sew
eral days has been so prominently be-
fore the public in connection with the
Panama affair. 1t is now said that
HerZ's connection with Reinach has
been that of a blackmailer and Reinach
was his victim
II i explained that Herr got possess

and has since levied gigantic tribute on
Reinach. The amount extorted up 10

basis for fresh demand for 1000, 900
francs He threatened TO publish
all his evidence in two Paris news
papers. IL not paid Reinach could not
respond Herr inexorable, increased
the pressure. lie affirmed that he could
stop the threatened great exposure
If his demands were satisfied. Reinach
in his extremity appealed to Rouvier.
He reminded the minister of finance of
the assistance he had rendered him in
the past and which Rouyier described
In his indiscreet speech in the chamber
the other day. The distressed baron
begged him To use every effort 10 pre-
vent Herr from executing his threats
RouvieT sought Clemenceau's aid.
The latter reported that he could do
nothing.
When the result was made known TO
Reinach, he exclaimed: Il am lostr'
A day or two later he was dead;
whether 10y suicide or murder is still an
