Most of the goods were shipped to New

CONGRESS CONVENHS
For the Short Session at Noon
To-day.
PRESIDENTS MESSAGE READY.
No Very Important Legislation
Looked For, Aside From the
Appropriation Bills - An I'M
parchment Case, Involving a
Judge, on Deck.

WASHINGTON, D. c., December p
The second session Of the Fifty-third
Congress begins at noon Tomorrow.
Beyond the passage of the regular ap-
preparation bills it seems probable that
little in the way OF legislation will be
accomplished at the short session, al
though several important prop
ositions will doubtless be pressed
to the front Among the MEM
bers of the dominant party
in the House, over half Of whom were
defeated for reelection, there is a great
deal OF bitter feeling against the aa-
ministration for real or fancled griev-
ances 1t will be the purpose OF the
Democratic leaders to curb as far as
possible the display Of resentment. II
the President outlines
A FINANCIAL SCHEME
In his message tomorrow as antici-
psted, it will probably furnish the
opponents of his banking and financial
views their desired opportunity. In
the course of the session IL is under
stood the Nicaragua canal project will
be brought prominently forward. AT
the opening of the Congress, however,
routine matters will be kept to the fore
to stave off as far as possible unpleasant
references to the election, which would
prove distasteful 10 the majority, but
this policy can only be partially sue
cessful, as the latitude allowed In de-
bate on appropriation bills will throw
the doors open to remarks on any sub
ject. Before the adjournment for the
holidays 1t will be necessary TO
PASS AN APPROPRIATION
to carry out the tariff bill provision
levying tax on incomes, the collection
OF which begins January l, and while
IL will no doubt meet with much oppo-
sition and lead to general review OF
the arguments against such tax, the
general impression is that II will pass
by large majority.
The impeachment Of Judge Kicks, OF
the Northern District of Ohio, will also
q
II the Judiciary Committee, which in
vestigates the charges, should present
a resolution aud it should carry. The
trial would occur in the Senate, the
Chief Justice presiding. Impeachment
proceedings are
RARE AND NOVEL,
and this one, the first since the trial OF
President Johnson, would attract ma
tional attention.
Tomorrow, II quorum is present in
the House, as seems almost certain,
after the calling OF the roll nothing will
be done probably beyond the reading OF
the Presidents message. No dei-
mite programme has been arranged
for the remainder Of the week. The
Committee on Appropriations, however,
has two bills almost prepared. the pen
sions and fortihcation ulls, and they
will be reported on Tuesday, so that
work upon them can de entered upon
Wednesday.

MUCH INTEREST

is felt among Senators OF all political be-
liefs in the Presidents message and IN the
recommendation which the Secretary or
the Treasury will make on financial Ques-
tions. These will have much TO do in
directing the course of the Senate. III
there are recommendations for radical de-
partures in financial methods, they are sure
to lead TO much speech-making early In the
session, and later TO form the basis OF COM
mittee actions.
Significance is also attached 10 Senator
Voorhees, declaration that he Will ask the
Finance Committee TO sit on Tuesday.
Tuesday is the day for the regular weekly
meeting of this Committee, out it does not
ordinarily meet so promptly after the as
sembling of the Senate. Chairman Noor-
hees declines 10 state
THE OBJECT OF THE MEETING
further than to say that it is to be held for
the purpose of permitting an exchange OF
views among members. II the Presidents s
message is received Monday, the EKecu-
tive recommendations could Of course be
taken up, but as there had been
no positive statement as TO when
the message would come in when
the meeting was decided upon, II
would appear that the Chairman had other
objects in view. II is possible that his
purpose may be TO arrange a policy upon
the supplemental tariff bills. These bills
have all been reported by the COM
mittee, but it may be considered necessary
10 discuss them further before deciding
upon a plan Of action. The Democratic
majority Of the Finance Committee is on
record in favor Of the passage OF the bills.
aud il is not improbable that the early sc-
ton of the committee is sought TO Illustrate
any attempt 10 prevent consideration This
is not altogether snrmise. for II Is known
that some Of
THE sO-cALLED CONSERVATIVE SENATOR'S
have advised that general party confer
ence be held soon after the Senate con-
yenes for the consideration OF this ques-
tion.
The experience Of last session shows
that whenever caucuses were held, the
conservatives carried their points. hence
there is reason for the prompt action Cf
the friends OF the supplementary bills
There appears TO De nothing outside OF
| financial or tariff questions likely 70 e4f
cite ripple during the week snd It IS nrs
certain that, whatever may happen latet
in the session, there viii be much IN thes7
lines to disturb the general serenity Of q {
