PROGRAMME FOR LEGISLATION,
Bankruptcy Bill Likely To Be Censiasrsa
After Appropriation Measures.

Washington, Dec. 9.-Although no for
NAL action has been taken, a pretty gen
sral understanding has been reached nv
the leaders in the House of Representa-
tiyes as te.the course of legislation In the
near future
This contemplates the disposal of ap-
preparation bills as fast as they are ready
for consideration. After these, the bank
ruptey bill will be given the first oppor-
tunity for hearing. This measure will
be reported by Chairman Henderson of
the judiciary COMMITTEES, before the holi-
day recess but it will not be taken up by
the House until after the recess.
tt is understood that Speaker Reed and
the committee on rules will be disposed
to give this bial every advantage in the
way of securing an early time for debate
It is equally we'll understood that for
the present there will be no effort to take
up financial legislation on the floor of the
House. This is due mainly to the fact
that q strong iInpre ssion prevails among
members OF the House that the committee
on banking and currency will not be able
to reconcile the many co INJECTING inter-
ests inside of the committee.
The ways and means oommlttee will do
nothing at present in the way of fran
ing financial legislation until it becomes
evident that the COMMITTEES on banking
and currency is at standstill.
The bankruptcy bill, which will be the
first general measure to be brought for
ward, was framed by Mr.. Henderson of
Iowa, and is substantially similar to his
bill which passed the House once. 1t is
on lines of the Torrey bill providing both
voluntary an involuntary bankruptcy
AT the same time the objections made to
the Torrey bill that it was collection
agency have been overcome by the
smoothing down of the harsh features.
The disposition of the House leaders will
be to keep radical legislation to the rear.

The galleries contained a large and in.
terested gathering Of spectators while at
the tables below were seated lovers of the
"royal game" to the number Of two hun
bred and forty, handsomely costumed in
evening dresses, who from eight to ten
O'Clock played the game in all its purity,
not exactly according to Heyle, SO it ie
said but rather in accordance with the
teachings Of more up-to-date authorities.
In fact, it is whispered that few
parties who broke silence and others who
were caught leading from sneak
barely escaped expulsion. These were the
patronesses: Mrs. r. E. Boothby, Mrs.

freshments when ices and creams were
served in forms of birds, animals and
fruits and were found to be very delic-
ious. The refreshments came from Cloudy

Soon afterwards dancing began which
was kept up formally, and to the great
delight of all, till twelve o'clock.
Most acceptable music was furnished
by Miss Blanche o. Cram and Francis

of the floor devolved upon Harry oe,

suLkoWlTCH's MISTAKE.
A Tale of a South Portland Mans Loss and
the Result.

On last Friday when George Masters,
who works at the bicycle factory in
South Portland, returned home from his
work and went to his room in the South
Portland house, he found that some one
had gone off with his clothes. He missed
new suit of clothes, an evercoat, some
gloves, shirts, shirt studs and a russell
leather travelling bag containing laun-
dry. collars. cuffs and other things Of the
kind. On this day man named Thomas
Butler, who had also been boarding at
the house, suddenly disappeared, and
Masters suspected that he was the man
who had gone off with his wearing ap-
parel. But what Butler could want
with Masters's clothes 1t was hard for
Masters to understand. Butler weighed
100 pounds, while Masters is small man
and it would have been impossible for
Butler to wear the clothes.
Butler was known to be hard up and
in need of money, so it was suspected
that he had taken the clothes to raise
the wind The police were told about
the matter and visited all of the pawn
shops with list of the stolen goods, but
none of the Hebrews knew anything
about the clothes, nor had they seen
them. Lewis Sulkowitoh whose pawn
shop is at 467 Fore street. also told the
police that.he had seen nothing of Mas
ters's clothing, although, as it turned out
afterwards, he had them in his shop at
the time.
On Wednesday Masters got letter,
postmarked Portland, Me-, the day be-
fore, containing pawntiekets for his miss
ing clothing. He went to Sulkowitch' g
store and demanded it, but Sulkowitch
had advanced S. on the articles and
wanted his money back. Masters refused
to give Sulkowitch So, but said he would
give him So. This wasn't satisfactory to
Sulkowitch and he wouldn't give the
clothes up. Masters then went to law
yer and got writ of repleyin and then
Sulkowitch readily turned over the
clothes to the officers of the law. He was
also obliged to pay the costs Of the re-
plevin suit, and is out that much more
over the IS VIII ch was originally loaned.
Sulkowitoh's description of the man
who pawned the clothes corresponds to
a description of the missing Butler.

Can it be possible that Susan B. Anthony's recent departure for Eng land has anything to do with the un- paralleled and erratic order issued by the apparently irresponsible post master general of England to the ef- feet that all girl candidates for the position of postal clerks must be five feet in height, and that all those women presently employed by the department who have seen nineteen summers, and fail to possess five feet two inches of anatomy shall be dis missed from the service instanter Has the irrepressible Susan betaken herself to the rescue of England $ persecuted female postal clerks and left our fanatical women's rights haranguers to wallow in the slough of despair? Oh, Susan! What wouldst thou? Come back into our anxious bosoms that we may adore thee as we have in the past! America is not America without our Susan. Doubt less England's most unique postmas- ter general would rescind his anom- alous ruling could he but import some of our fair ones who do not touch the bar at five feet two at that.

Those unfortunate gold seekers wac now find themselves in the K'ondyke country with death staring ttem in the face via the starvation route, are forcfbly illustrating a very prevalent weakness in human nature-improv.- dence and blind trust in luck. Never were men more thoroughly warned of the conditions which they would have to meet upon rushing into an Arctic wilderness at the beginning of winter and without a sufficient sup ply of food. But in spite of these timely warnings thousands of reckless men allured by the reports emanatfng from the gold country and the hope of striking it rich" persisted in their desires and reached their promised land only to find the situation a most unpromising one. Now they find themselves in desperate straits, i'm poverished and starving.
