Small Likelihood That Import
ant Measures Will Pass
THE NICARAGUA CANAL BILL.
Republicans Not Inclined TO Fight
the Income Tax Appropriation.
The Zig Deficit Caused by the Have
meyer Law-Gsrmany to Take
Further Action Against Us-spain

Washington City, Dec. So. Both
houses of congress will resume their
sessions on Thursday next and ii IS
expected that there will be more de-
ternained effort to press forward the
work of the session for the next two
months than has characterized the Pre-
eeedings during the months which have
already elapsed. The necessary wSk
OF the session Is the passage OF the APP
preparation bills, OF which there are
fourteen. None has passed the senate,
and only five have received the sanction
of the house. Ii is in order for the
senate to take up any reported aIrT,ro-
prlatf0r bills at any time, and whether
the Nicaragua canal bill. which stands
Oh the senate calendar as unfinished
business, shall continue To hold its
place of vantage will be dependent upon
whether the appropriations committee
shall desire to supplant il with the PEN
sions and fortifications bills, or with
any other appropriation bills after the
other bills shall be reported from the
committee. The probabilities are that
the Nicaragua canal bill viii not be
displaced for the present.
Senator Morgan has been devoting
the holiday to the preparation of re-
ply to Senator Turpie's attack on the
canal bill. and his friends expect him
TO make a vigorous and exhaustive de-
ferse Of the measure. He win probssoly
speak an entire day, and possibly two
or three days.
Montgomery. Ala, Dec Ex-Governor
Oates. who has just returned frsm
Washington City, says Ia an interview
that the Carlisle currency pan will be
defeated, the Nicaragua canal bill will
fail to pass. and congress win do but
little this session.

The income tax was collected in the
United States for the first time as a war
measure, and was in operation for eleven
years. from 1868 to 1878 inclusive. The
collections were as follows:

SMOKING CONCERT.
Cricket ana Tennis People Spend
an Enjoyable Evening.

The Minnesota Cricket and Lawn
Tennis club gave a smoking concert at
A. 0. U. w. hall, II East Seventh street,
last evening, which was attended by
many members and their friends. The
president, W. W. Erwin, was nnfortun-
ately again obliged to be absent, very
much against his wish. and the vice
president, G. c. Saulez. filled the chair
in most satisfactory way. Songs and
recitatiOns were the order of the day.
and among those who were encored and
gave general satisfaction, we might
mention the names of Messrs. w. B.
Parsons, j. Heinlein, Gus Zenzius,
Harry O'Gorman, g. Hatch and Chris
Hanson. j. Heinlein also gave several
recltatiOns, which were highly enter
tanning, and Messrs. L. Yapp and
Greaye kindly ot1fctated at the piano.
After a most enjoyable evening, the
meeting dispersed, with the hope that
the CLUB gives another smoker at an
early date.
