Washington. Dec 2.-Speaker Crisp
does not believe that the coming snort
session of congress will be productive
Of much legislation.
1T is very important" he says,
that there should be some legislation
on finance. | am not prepared TO pre-
dict what, If anything, may be done
at this session, but it must be appar-
ent to every one that the present situ-
alton should not be permitted to re-
main long. Whatever suggestions the
administration has to make will be
| awaited With great interest. Whether
or not Mr. Carlisle will present a
proposition which will meet with gen
eral approval, no one can say until
| the message comes in. A financial
system which puts it in the power of
any one to deplete the treasury Of
gold and to compel the government
to increase it's interest-b bearing Obli-
cations by the issue of bonds, is
vicious, and should be corrected as
| speedily as possible
| He refers to the majority report of
the house judiciary committee of the
last session. differing with the Secre-
tary as to the authority to issue bonds,
| though he is unable to say whether
there will be any discussion Of the re-
cent bond issue. The house never
passed upon the report, but the speak
er thinks it may be considered. The
speaker does not think there will be
any tariff legislation during the ses-
sion except to correct the alcohol
schedule Of the present law. Further
legislation, he says. rests with the SEN
ate. AS to sugar, he says: 1T seems
to me that the same influences which
during the long session put the duty
| on sugar will be able to prevent a
repeal during the short time there is
left for this congress to legislate.''
Mr.. Crisp does not think there is
any necessity for any measure to raise
additional revenue, as the present law,
when it gets fully in operation. will
raise all the revenue needed. He re-
| CARDS as absurd the talk about de-
| feating the appropriation to put the
| income tax in operation. AS to other
| legislation he says:
1T seems to me that there will prob
| ably be an effort made to do some
thing with the Nicaragua canal.
am not familiar with all the details
of the bill reported by the committee,
but think that that or some other
measure dealing with this subject is
very apt to be acted upon. Then
there are the bankruptcy bill, and the
anti-option bill. which the senate
should dispose Of before the close OF
the session. A number of things may
be attempted, but there is no pro-
gramme arranged and everything de
pends upon what the general feeling
is when we all get together

The Chinese have queer ideas about
morstrosities and their right to dis
pcse of such freaks. A woman at Woo
Foo, province Of Lukion, recently gave
birth to a child having four perfect
eyes. The family were very greatly
exercised over the matter and tried to
get the priest to kill the monster. This
he refused to do, telling them that the
best way to guard against the recur
renee of such a calamity was to exhibit
it in a cage on the streets for few
days. The priest stated the length Of
time that would be necessary to make
a public show Of the monster in or
der to propitiate the evil spirit that
was responsible for the freak, and
