A SHORT SESSION.
Senator Burrows Opinion to the
Coming Congress-.

Senator Eur-ows' Opinion as to the
Coming Congress.
Senator Burrows of Michigan is in Wash
ington, making arrangements for winter
quarters. He says that he is inclined to
think that there will be a short session
of Congress this winter. He does not see
how anything In tine way of legislation
such as the republicans would enact can be
made into law, and he thinks that the
best thing is to dispose Of the appropria-
ton bills and such other plain business
matters as can be attended to and then ad-
journ.
The House might pass a pro.ectiv tariff
bill, but the chances are that 1t could not
be got through the Senate without silver
being tied to it, and it could not get the
approval of the President, anyhow. He
therefore, did not think that any such leSis-
lation would be attempted Nor did he
think that the retirement of the greenbacks
could be secured at this session.
He said that he did not see how it was
possible for the republicans to reorganiZe
the Senate, with but fortythree Senators
Of their own party in the body. He was
sure they would make no trade with the
popuiists in order to get the organization

ADMIRAL KIRkLAND'S CASE.
rot Known Whether the Presfden,
Has Approved the Reprimand,

1t Is said that the President has sus-
tained Secretary Herbert in his contro-
versy with Rear Admiral Kirkland, COM
manding the European station, over the ac-
uon OF the latter in congratulating NJ
Faure upon lis elt ction as PRESIDENT of the
French republic 9he~Secretafy reprtmand-
ed the admiral and the latter appealed to
the President. 1t was held by Secretary
Herbert that the naval officer had violated
the traditional policy of the United States
in displaying official interest in the politics
or foreign government. He pointed out
that the congratulation of one candidate
on a political victory might be accepted
as felicitation over the cownfal of the
opposite party.
What the Admirars Friends Say.
The friends Of Admiral Kirkland are un-
able to see wherein he has offended and
inasmuch as the President is unaware as to
whether the admiral signed his letter to
President Faure in personal or an official
capacity. they are not prepared to believe
that he has reprimanded the officer. The
whole question hinges on the character Of
the note of congratulation. If 1t was a per-
sonal letter from one friend to another it
was all right. but If it was written by Ad-
miral Kirkland in his official capacity as a
representative of the United States govern
the view Of Secretary Herbert. His repri-
mand was based on the assumption that
the communication was of an official char
acter, and if the President has sustained
his course he TOO must have acted on the
same theory.
So far as kcown. however, the authorities
have not been furnished with a copy of the
letter. and, consequently, they must have
prejudged its official character The ad-
miral has persistently ignored all sugges-
items to furnish copy. In this respect he
has followed the course so successfully pur-
sued by Admiral Meade, in declining to
furnish ammunition against himself
The Explanation Given.
The ground taken by Admiral kirkland
in his explanation of the incident was that
his letter was entirely personal, sent by
one gentleman to another as an act of
friendly courtesy. The fact that the adj
miral, when he visited Havre in his flag
ship, received courtesies at President
Faure's hands, which did not include other
Representatives of our government there
present is mentioned as an evidence of the
personal relations Of the two officials.

power to succor the stricken woman. They

recognized the hat the property of young
Hannah, and this announcement precipi-
tated search for the young man, who was
not found until early morning.

fronted with the hat, he denied the killing,
but admitted that the hat was mis- prop
erty, declaring further that his mother had
borrowed it the evening before, but for
what purpose he did not know, remarking
incidentally that she had not returned
home until 1 o'clock in the morning. The
searchers Immediately sought out Mrs.

and confessed that she had purloined suit
OF her husbands clothes and her sons hat,
