TEE SENATE.

The holiday recess, by the terms of
the resolution reported by the ways
and means committee, is to begin
Thursday and extend until Wednesday,
IAN. 4. 1t is likely, however, that the
resolution will be amended so as to
make the recess begin Wednesday in
stead of Thursday.
The appropriation bills are farther
advanced now than they have been for
many years at the short session.
Already the naval and army def
cheney. a special bill, and three of the
regular bills-the pension, District of
Columbia and Indian-have passed the
House. The agricultural bill was re-
Derted Yesterday and will be taken up
On Tuesday. Four of the regular
money budgets out of thirteen will
therefore have passed the lower House
before the holiday recess. an unprece-
dented thing in legislative annals.
The military academy bill could have
been added to this list had it not been
that Chairman Hull of the military af-
fairs committee declined to allow the
attention of the committee to be drawn
from the bill for increase of the army,
aven for the limited time required to
prepare the academy bill The latter,
however. will be reported before the
recess.
The friends of the naval personnel bill
and the bill for the Philadelphia expo
sition of 1899. have been urging the
committee ON rules to grant time for
their consideration. Time will be al
Gifted for the former bill soon after the
House reconvenes after the holiday re-
cess. 1t is possible that the Philadel-
ohia exposition bill may be called up
md placed upon its passage tomorrow,
as tomorrow, under the rules, is sus-
pension day,
The bill to extend the navigation laws
