WORK OF THE SENATE.
1t Will Largely Depend Upon the
Work of 60 Gtee-ersp

WOIN vi AJtCCl 81
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The weeks pro
gra nine in the Senate will depend largely
it not entirely upon the decision in the
Democratic steering" committee wi h
reference to the amendment in which the
bills preferred by the Democratic caucus
are to be taken up. This point was left
entirely to the steering" committee,
which Senator German, its chairman, says
will probably meet Monday. The COM
mlttee will then, or at some subsequent
meeting, decide whether the Nicaragua
bill, tie bankruptcy bill. the New Mexico
and Arizona bills, the Indian Territory
bill or the resolution for The election of
Senators by the people shall have pre-
cedence. 1t is not supposed by any one
that currency bill has yet been formu-
lated. The friends of the other bills will
PROFESSIONALLY press their respective
m easures. and it is yet impossible to say
which of the bills mentioned will receive
preference.
While the committee is undecided, Sem
ator Morgan will be improving his oppor-
tunlty to press the claims ofthe Nicaragua
bill. He has given notice Of his Intention
to call the bill up on Monday and he will
open the proceedings o: the day after the
disposal OF the morning business with a
speech devoted to the explanation OF the
merits Of the bill. 1t is probable that this
speech Will consume the greater part of
the day. MIR. Morgan will speak regard
less OF what the caucus committee decision
may be or whether there shall be any de-
clsion previous TO Monday afternoon. The
speech made, the decision of the commit
tee will probably be allowed TO control as
to whether the canal bills shall continue
to receive attention or shall be deposed by
one of the other favored measures.
For The rest. Senator Morrill, has given
notice If an intention to present, as is his
usual custom at the beginning of Con-
gressional session, his views on some pub
lie question.
Senator Hunton of Virginia has also
given notice of speech for Thursday on

allowed to pass through, but he and his
men, with the Manchus from Kirn, never
stopped until they had got safely to Vi
chow; the Pngyang Pass not being taken
by the japanese until the 10th or next day.
General Wei seeing this thought 10 curry
favor with his men by Offering them life
and so gave the bugle call for "Retrsat."
Retreat they did, but by this time (night
of the 15th) the japanese had succeeded in
getting to the PIneyang Pass, and the
SheHg Division met with a hot fusillade
from both sides. Two-thirds only sue
ceeded in forcing the Pass in full flight
for Ychow, leaving the brunt of the
battle upon Generals Tso and Ma. All
this while there was lGng struggling line
of refugees from Pingyang consisting of
cam p-followers, non-cOmbatants. or civil
attaches of the Pay and CommissarIat De-
pariments.
Thrilling tales OF narrow escapes have
been told by individuals in this connec-
ton who were forced to run the gauntlet
of the Japanese rifles and machine guns at
the pass, where the fleeing and defenseless
Chinese and Korean refugees from Ping
yang were butchered by the enemy. OF
the 1000 men lost at Pingyang more than
two-thirds lost their lives at the Pingyang
pass When General T5o was killed and
his men, who until then had succeeded in
repelling the enemy from the city. began
to retreat. General Ma, seeing himself
attacked on all sides, retreated in good
order, covering as far as possible the re-
treat of those just gone before, who had no
occasion to retreat ia this manner if Gen
eral Wei and his division bad not deserted,
but stood by and fought TO the last. Ac-
cordng to trustw orthy accounts General
Ma, who was the last TO leave Pingyaug,
lost the fewest men, while General Wei,
who was the first to fail in giving aid-the
Manchus being not considered OF any ac-
count or use-lost the most, fully 1900 of
his men being killed. principally at the
PIngyang pass. as already stated. Thus
at General Wers door lies the loss of
Pingyang, and to the outrageous conduct
Of his men must be attributed the lass of
the sympathy and valuable aid of the
Koreans throughout thaI campaign.

preciafe their personal and political friendship
and shall try as earnestly to deserve 1t In pri-
vate life as In public service. do not allow

to the general disaster l am confident that the
people will soon learn that the Democratic
party did not deserve any such chastisement at
their hands ana will come back TO us as pas
sionately as they seem to have left us. This
country does not belong to the trusts and

institutions and is therefore lnvnebe.

 The Japanese troops now in Korea num- ber upward of 30, 900 and were on Aug. IS placed under Lieutenant General Nosu, chief of tho Fifth army corps, who served with distinction in the Satbuma war of the rebellion in 1877 and Is said to have shown great skill in tho grand army ma neuvers of 1S93.
 Dr. c. A. Arnold, vico consul at Naga- saki, died suddenly on Aug. 22.
 New currency regulations have been promulgated by the king of Korea Japa- ncse silver coins arc to circulate side by side with those of the Kingdom.
 Among the presents sent by the emper- or of Japan to the king of Korea is n rich ly embroidered national flag of Korea. These gifts contradict the idea of con- quest by Japan.
 Ono of the passengers on the Empress of Japan was Captain J. c. Coxe, a prom inent sealer. He had been in Japan and says that in Yokohama and Hakodate everything Is quiet and orderly. He says foreigners who go to Japan expecting to join the army or navy or service in other positions will be disappointed. There Is a strong antiforeign feeling. and the people will have no outsiders in any position. This rule prevails in all branches of the service, especially in the hospital and am bulonce corps, which arc very thorough.
