WASHINGTON, Dec 4-The extra session
disposed of all the preliminaries generally
necessary at the opening of the long ses-
sions; consequently there will be none of
the usual reasons why congress may not
begin business promptly upon converting
today. The committees of both the senate
and the house, having been appointed at the
beginning of the extra session, reported
many bills which are now ON the calendars
of the two houses and in position to be con-
sidered when it shall be the pleasure of the
members to take them up.
There are between ~ and ~ bills and
resolutions on the senate calendar, so that
it can begin legislating immediately after
the receipt of the presidents message if
such course should be deemed desirable.
A large majority of these bills are of
minor importance and relate to private
pension and other claims Tgainst the gov
erument for small amounts. These will
be disposed of with dispatch ia IA majority
of instances when taken up. Many of the
resolutions refer to subjects which were
incidental to the silver repeal bill, and
with that measure out of the way they
will in all probability be dropped.
There are, however, II few bills of general
Importance, such as Senator Hills federal
elections bill, the bill reported by Senator
VOORHEES, to increase the circulating notes
of national banks, Senator Morgan's con-
current resolution for the appointment of
Joint committee of the two houses to
consider financial questions, Senator Stew
art two resolutions-the first for a COM
mittee to inquire if any senators are stock
holders in national banks, and the second
relating to the independence of the co-or-
dinate departments of the governments;
Senator PETERS resolution concerning in
terstate commerce and Senator Palmer'S
regarding pensions to nonresidents.
1t is impossible to say which, if any, of
these measures will be taken up during
the first week of the session. 1t is consid
cred probable that none of them will re-
Ceive as much attention the Hawaiian
question, which is not now before the SEN
ate in any shape, but which is almost sure
to be brought before it in some way before
the close of the week.
1t is probable that number of resolu-
| tons of inquiry will be introduced asking
| for all the papers in the case, including the
instructions to Minister Willis, and there
will undoubtedly be a full discussion OF
the entire subject-if not during the pres
| emit week, later in the session. The exact
shape in which this subject will come up
| for consideration will depend somewhat
upon the portion of the presidents mes
sage bearing upon this question.
1t is also probable that there will be
some executive business during the week,
as there will be several recess appoint
| ments to Office to be confirmed

WASHINGTON, March l6.-The senate.
after q 10 minutes session, adjourned un-
Ill Monday.
From the action to-day Il 10 evident tho
senate intends taking Its timo In tho mat.
ter OF confirming appointments. II was
supposed that M soon as the committees
were reorganired, nominations 30 far
would receive prompt attention and that
an executive session would be had to-day.
At the previous session Il was ordered
that as soon as the committees were ap-
pointed. nominations should be referred,
and those sent In by tho president UP to
date are now In the hands Of the commit
tee. These might have been considered
this morning in committee and con.
flrmed to-day, but the adjournment of tho
senate until Monday makes II impossible
for any of the officials named by the presi-
dent to assume their duty until the middle
OF next week. A prominent senator OF
the democratic side, said this morning tho
senate was not In o great hurry to GO into
the business OF confirming nominations
and intimated possibly they would wait
until the elective officers of tho senate
have been chosen II Il is determined to do
this at once. As soon as this 10 done he
said the senate would confirm every nomi.
nation sent In up to this time.
immediately after the senate adjourned,
the democratic caucus committee resumed
its sitting and took up the matter Of re-
organization Of the elective officers of tho
senate. 1t Is said that the committee will
be ready to report TO the full caucus carly
next week, possibly Tuesday morning.
Whether the democrats intend to re.
organize or not is the interesting question.

A MISSING STEAMER
The Slrnia Bound For Halifax Is 07sR.
due.
THE NARONlC IS SIGHTED
A Rumor to That Effect Not
CredIted-The Sarnia May Have
Her In Tow-Searching
For the Vessel.

HALIFAX. March l6.-The Transatlantic
steamer Sarnia with - passengers and
valuable cargo is five days overdue, and
great alarm Is felt for her safety. So great
Is the anxiety that n steamer is being
equipped to go out and look for her. All
da, yesterday the officers of tho ships
company was bcseiged by anxious friends
and relatives of passengers on tho
steamer. IL is thought by some she may
have fallen in with the long overdue Mar.
onic and is towing tho missing freighter
into port. Agents. however, are inclined
TO the belief she met an accident OF some
kind that necessitated her lying to for re-
pairs. Anxiety for the welfare of the
Sarnia Is increased by the reports Of terri
BILE storms each incoming vessel brings.
The position of the Sarnia. when sighted
In disabled condition by the America,
was about 40 miles northwcs; of Halifax.
How much that position has changed
since then. Is what several steamers out
ward bound will try to ascertain. The
Alpha left yesterday for Bermuda. She
will make dctour to the eastward. Tho
Star Of Luncnburg sailed this afternoon
in search of the Sarnia, aud the govern
ment steamer Newflcld left this evening.
The missing steamer has II first class
cabin, 10 second and 800 third class pas
scngcrs aud n crew Of 50 men.
