IN SENATE AND HOUSE.


the Holiday Recess.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2l-The senate will
be in session only two days this week, and
comparatively little will be accomplished
in this time. Ordinarily quorum would
not be present with tho holidays SO near,
but interest in the Cuban question will
have the effect Of attracting good attend
ance, The Cuban resolution as agreed to
by the committee on foreign relations will
be reported this afternoon. 1t is contrary
to the policy of the committee on foreign
relations TO have the matter discussed pre-
vious to the holidays, but it is possible
that some senator's, not mombors Of the
COMMITTEES, may want to express their
opinions at this time. There is however,
no probability Of any effort to secure ac-
ton on the resolution now.
Senator Pottigrows free homestead bill
is the unfinished business on the senate
calendar, and the senator will make a
strong effort to secure its passage before
the holiday adjournment. Senator Gear
will make an effort TO get up his bill
authorizing the settlement of the Sioux
City and Pacific railroad debt
The house will adjourn tomorrow for
the holiday recess and as members are
leaving 10y every train 1t Is very doubt
ful whether a quorum will be pres
ont again till after the holidays. This be-
ing the case, whatever is done will have
to be done by unanimous consent. The
legislative, executive and judicial appro.
priation bill is still unfinished. This bill
and the bill for the maintenance of the
military academy the leaders hope to pass
before tho recess. The only thing which
may stand in the way Of carrying out this
program will be the fight which the liz
brary committee will wage against the
provision relative to the library in the
legislative bill. This provision in the bill
will retain Mr. Spotford AZ librarian and
increase his salary from s. 900 to $4,000.

when he invited Iugersoll to the pull
