WORK OF CONGRESS

Washi ngton, Dec. 1O-The house pro-
gramme this week is a dreary waste.
Until the committees are appointed
the machinery of the house is blocked
and nothing ear be done save by unan-
imOus consent. Any resolution that
might be presented-and it is in this
form that the sensations that agitate
the lower branch of congress usually
spring-wOuld go down before n single
objection. Fol- this reason no attempt
will be made to do anything until
Speaker Reed announces his commit
tees. which he now expects TO have
ready at the end Of the week. There
probably will be but three brief SEES
sions this week. When the house met
to-day an adjournment was taken for
several days. The Indications are that
practically nothing can he done in the
way Of the consideration Of actual leg
i~slation until after the holidays. How
ever, the congressional hOppers are
filling up preparation" 10 the grinding
that will follow later. Last week Scy-
eral hundred bills were Introduced.
and il is probable that fully as many
will be started on their journey To the
senate this week.

C0nstantinople. Dec. l5.-There was
a disturbance in StambOul yesterday,
and il caused the spread OF rulnorS SO
alarming that Galata and Pera were
soon in a state OF panic, and serious
outbreaks We're threatened. This, in
view of the passage through the OAR
danel!eS Of the British gunboat Dryad
and the Italian SunDoat Archimede,
the extra guardships for the British
and Italian embassies, formed the
basis for the report that the riotlng
predicted by the IildiZ Kiosk Courtiers
had actually commenced, but, happily,
the trouble was not of a serious ma
ture, although the Armenians, as uSu-
al, are accused of having attempted to
