NATIONAL LEGISLATURE
Both Houses of Congress in
 Session To-day.
THE PRESIDENTS FINAL MESSAGE.

It win be Read Tomorrow Afternoon
 Nothing of Special Importance on the
 House Calendar-Sen ator washburn and
 the ti-Option BILL WASHINGTON. Dec 6. The two houses of the sgd Congress meet at noon to-day in second session. After a scertainine that quorum is present in each branch resolutions will be passed authorizing the appointment of committees to call on the President and inform him that the Congress is organized and ready to pro- ceed to business.
 The committees will be informed, and so report, that the President will shortly communicate with Congress in writing.
 The message is expected to reach the Congress about 1 o'clock tomorrow af- ternoon.
 While the committees are executing the commission entrusted to them, the Senate and House will probably take a recess unless the associates of those Con- gressmeu who have died since the ad- journment of the first session annouace their decease to the survivors. When tue committees report adjournment will be in order.
 It is the general impression that the coming session will add but little to the legislative records of the country, except in the matter of appropriation bills. The first order of business on the calendar of the Senate is the anti-Option bill, and it is the purpose of its friends to main tain it in its favored position until dis posed of by vote.
 Senator Washburn, who has charge of the campaign in favor of the bill says the recent rise in cotton has not tended to alienate support from the measure, al- though he admits he was afraid it might do so.
 Senator Washburu estimates the mum Der of the friends of the bill at two to one to it's opponents and says no other bill can be taken up in it's place. But lively contest on this point may be ex- pected should Mir. Sherman undertake to antagonize the measure with bill to repeal the silver law of 1890, which he has intimated he will introduce. The general interest it is believed by some, that it's consideration could be secured even against the anti-Option bill.
 None of the appropriation bills are expected in the Senate before the holi- days.
 There is nothing of special importance on the House calendar and no appropri. tion bills are expected to make their ap- pearance the first week of the session. Efforts will be made to push several bills that attracted attention last session re- lating to the revenue.

FOR A SHIP CANAL.
Mr. Hill and MT. Tracey Preparing a BiI
 for One Through New York.

AIr. Hill and MT. Tracey Preparing a Bill
 for One Through New York.
 ALBANY, Dec. 5.-United States Sena- tor Hill and Congressman Charles Tracy are both making active prepara- tions to try to force through Congress a bill to at once build ship canal through this State.
 The proposed route is up the Hudson river to the Erie canal and thence through the Erie canal.
 The argument to be used to hasten tn e measure Is that the completion of the Canadian canal will injure our com merce. Should this Canadian water course detract from the transportation of the Erie canal as far as the Western freight is concerned, there can be no doubt but that New York will fall fro m the position it holds in Western trans portation business
 The new ship canal will provide for a waterway 200 feet wide, with an average depth of 20 feet. The cost of such a waterway will be $150. .000, 900, but the benefit to be derived is incalculable, re- sulting in keeping New York the com mercial emporium.
 The question of military supremacy on the Great Lakes is also concerned, and the question whether Canada will be allowed to control the West

 Gubernatorial Fight.

Gubernatorfa1 Fight.
 CHEYENNE, Wyo., Dec. 5.-Governor elect Osborne spent another night in the Executive chamber. The place is guarded on the outside by the sheriff of the county, who had been called into service by the capitol commissioner on the re- port that the Democrats would raid the building to get possession of the seal of the State.
 T. N. Patterson of Denver arrived yes terday and Osborne left the Capitol build ing to meet him, leaving the room in charge of a strong guard with instruc- tions to hold.
 The members of the State Board of Canvassers now say they will canvass the vote for Governor and issue Osborne certificate of election.
 Acting Governor Barber's private sec retary still holds the inner and private office of the executive suit. In his room down town MT. Barber gets the mail ad- dressed to the Governor and is transact ing business. The fact that he Is really Secretary of State facilitates his opera tions.
 Acting Governor Barber has issued a proclamation denouncing Governor Os- borne as an usurper, and stating that as soon as the returns are in from all the counties of the State a canvass of the votes will be made.

EXIT THE CASE OF HAMS.

The Final Disposition is that the Defend.
 ants Shall Not Pay Costs.
 PIrTsBURG, Dec 5.-The final dis posi- tion of the celebrated Iams case has been made.
 The Court decides that the defend nts shall not pay the costs, thereby setting aside that part of the verdict directing that the costs of the aggravated assault and battery costs shall be equally divided between Col. Streator and Col. Hawkins.
 Immediately after the verdict was rendered Attorney Braddock moved that that part of it referring to the costs should be set aside. The Court granted a rule on the prosecutors to appear and show cause why this should not be granted.
 The ease was argued several days ago.

Death in 8 POOrhOuse of a Queer Old Man
 Who Had Told a Remarkable Yarn.
 FINDLAY, O., Dec. 6.-Paul Jordan, who said he was son of Napoleon Bona parte, Is dead at the county infirmary. He was born in Paris in 17S6, according to his own statement. If true, this would make him at the time of his death 106 years old.
 Jordan's story was to the effect that he went to Egyt in 1796 with Napoleon upon his famous expedition to the Pyra- mids, and was captured by the Turks; that he lived @ nomadic life with them for several years, afterward being stolen by the Jews, and that he lived in Jerusa- lem until short time after his reputed father was banished to the Island of St. Helena.
 Jordan has lived as an inmate of the Hancock county inflrmary for 10 years, having been found in 8 bewildered condi- tion, and unable to give any account of himself.
