ALMOST READY TO ADJOURN.
End of the Present Session OF the Senate
Drawing Near.

thu OF the Present Session OF the senate
Drawing Near.
WASHINGTON, d. c., April 9.-The senate
has practically completed its work and is
now waiting for the president to bring the
session to a close All idea of passing upon
the questions involved in the appointment Of
the three senators from the northwest has
been abandoned and that matter will re left
for disposition at the next session. The
grounds for this course are, first that many
senators are still undecided how to vote
upon the propositions involved. Second,
many others desire to address full senate,
and third the final and conclusive reason
that there1s not voting quorum in the city
at present.
1t is said that about Tuesday the senate
will appoint committee to wait upon the
president and ask him if he has further bust
ness to lay before the body. 1t is assumed
by the senators generally that the only real
important matter that remains to be com
muncated is the nomination to the court
OF appeals of the District of Colum-
bia, for unless this is filled be-
fore adjournment there is likely
To be IA ddeadlOck in the business. Although
the impression prevails that nearly all the
foreign missions have been filed the records
disclosed the fact that no nominations have
yet been made to twenty of those important
places. The list is Argentine Republic, BO-
livia, Brazil, China, Colombia, Ecuador,
Hayti, Hawaii, Italy, Russia, Corea, Liberia,
Paraguay and Uruguay, Persia Portugal,
San Domingo, Siam, Sweden and Norway,
Turkey and Venezuela.
Most important of these is, perhaps,
Russia, and it is surmsed in some quarters
that the delay in making a change there
arises from desire to await the possible
action of the Russian government raising
the grade of its Washington mission to an
embassy, which will admit of the nomiua-
tion of another ambassador by the president
in that case. But in the majority of these
cases there is good reason why the places
cannot be filled by appointment, subject to
confirmation when the senate meets again
next session, and therefore the impression
prevails at the capitol that the present
session will adjourn some time next week.

CHIMICoTHE, o., April 9.-The terribly
high winds that prevailed the past three
days famed the flames of various disastrous
fires throughout the Hill lands of Ross High
land, Pike and Chenango counties Norains
of consequence have fallen for a month, aud
the dried leaves were like Il tindcr box
Thursday afternoon the fire started in differ
ent places and the strong wind gave it great
headway, making it impossible to contine it
: IN any Inanncr. The wind calmed at night
which left the fire to creep slowly along or
finish what had been gone over so
rapidly The red lines of fire stretch
ing across the hills for miles with
the burning of the dead standing trees lit
up the whole country. Friday the wind
blew more terrific than before and what had
been left or protected in the timber was en-
veloped in the flames. Since then everything
that would burn has been licked up by the
hames in their mad course and all efforts at
resistance failed. The dense smoke still en-
velOps the whole country. No deaths are
reported and the great destruction was con
fined to the timber lands, but hundreds of
thousands of dollars worth of young timber
has been lost. The gale had expended itself
by Saturday noon ana the iitful rain that fell

RELIGIOUS CONGRESS.
Part that win BE Taken In 1t by the Jews
ut the Worlds Fair.


New York, April o Rev. DR.. Joseph Sill
verman, who was appointed on the commit
tee of arrangements for the Jewish religious
Worlds fair congress. has just returned
from a meeting of the committee held in
Chicago.
There is DR.. Silverman says, 'some
misapprehension about the part which the
Jews will take in the religious congress
which will be held during the Worlds fair
in Chicago. Some have thought that all
these religious congresses We're inadvisable
on account of the possibility of their giving
rise to religious discussions of an acrimOni-
Gus nature.
"Und. L the arrangements that have been
made such contingencies will be obviated.
Every denomination Will have its own re
ligiOus congress of national or international
character, at which papers will he read and
discussions held by the same denominations
No two religious congresses will come into
contact.
Besides these independent religious con-
crosses there will be a parliament of re.
ligiOns lasting several days. In this paria-
ment there will be no open discussion on
any topic. Arrangements have been made,
however, that persons desiring further in
formation upon the subjects treated by the
respective representatives of the denomina-
tions may consult them in private rooms set
aside for that purpose.
THE Jews religious icongress will begin
on August - and extend for several days.
Eminent divines of Europe and America
have been invited to read papers on various
subjects II will give AN opportunity for
correcting many of the miSapprehenSiOnS
that are current about Judaism and also for
rcfuting many Of the false statements of the
anti-Semitcs of Europe This last is one of
the most important benefits that will accrue
from the Columbian Worlds fair, not only 10
Judaism, but TO all mankind.

About fifty houses on stills along the east
branch of the Croton, which drain directly

nowhere are the residents so concerned over
the situation as at Carmel another village

A special plea has been put in for the

estimated that fifty houses in Carmel alone
will be destroyed.

Big Haul.
New York April 9.-Thc postoffice author
tiles are much exercised oucr a robber, OF
registered packages, which occurred early
last week, between this city and Babylon,
L. l. Every effort was made to prevent tho
details of the affair becoming public and it
is only now that an inliling of the robbery
leaks out.
At the postoffice official information was
denied. Mr.. Jenkins said: In time every
thing will come out and it will be a good
story whcn it does come out"
The history of the robbery is that Monday
afternoon the train which leaves Long Island
City at half-paSt o'clock, and to which is
attached the mail car which carries the reg
istered mail, took out two registered pack
ages, valued at 100000, These packages, it
is alleged, were rifed of their contents at
some point between the New York postoffice
and Babylon, but just where and by whom is
what the authorities would like to know
The loss was not discovered until the pack
ages had reached the point of destination.
The packages are brought from the New
York postottiCc by special wagon, 10 which
is detailed in addition to the driver a special
clerk, whose duty 1t is to see that the matter
is safely turned over to the agent in charge
of the railroad mail. The latter mrst re-
Ceipt for the packages and keep them until
called for by the clerk of the mail car VINO
must IN his turn receipt for them in a book
for the purpose
The registered matter passed through
these channels last Monday as usual. The
afternoon train mail car was in charge of
Clerk Lincoln When he received the pack
ages they seemed to be all right, he says,
and there was no external evidence that they
had been tampered with. II is asserted that
the authorities have a certain individual
under surveillance and that before another
day has paGsed he will be in custody.

Another stiff blow, with heavy show

and as the harbor contained many YES

disasters are reported. The Cadet,
which was to have sailed for Buffalo, and
the steam yacht Comanche bound for
the Worlds Fair, remained in the har-
Dor.
The Grand Trunk train from the West

in the Connecticut at North Stratford.
and the water in the Androscoggin is
said to be very high also.
