Washington, Dec 6. - The curtain
rang up to-day at noon upon the clos
ING session of the flfty-fifth congress.
The war and the fruits of the Ameri-
can victory carry in their wake many
problems which the national legisla-
tors must solve. But though many
questions may press for solution the
brief space covered by this session,
which expires by limitation March 4.
precludes the probability Of much be-
ing accomplished beyond the passage
of the regular money budgets, the leg
iSlatiOn for the increase of the regular
army, which the administration deems
necessary to meet the obligations im-
posed upon the country by the results
of the war; and probably the enact
mcnt of a law to give permanent ter
ritorial government to the Hawaiian
islands. This covers all the important
legislation which the congressional
leaders expect to see enacted at this
session. 1t is almost the unanimous
sentiment of the members that no at
tempt should be made to legislate con-
corning the possessions acquired
through
The War With Spain
at this session. There are earnest ad
vOcateS Of the Nicaraguan canal, who
will strive to secure its passage now,
and they may possibly be successful,
but neither it nor any one of the 9th
ers, like the pooling bill, anti-scalDers
bill, ETC., which have strong friends,
will be allowed to interfere with the
bills, the passage of which have been
deemed absolutely necessary to pre-
vent an extra session. The leaders at
both ends of the capitol have put their
heads together and the work of the
session is to be entered upon with the
idea of avoiding an extra session. With
this purpose in view the appropriation
bills are to be given the road at both
ends of the capitol and pressed through
with all possible haste. Two subcom-
mittees Of the appropriation commit
tee of the house have been at work for
week The deficiency bill to meet
the extraordinary expenses of the
army and navy during the six months
from Jan. 1, 1899, to July 1,
Is Ready to Submit.
to the full committee, and the regular
District of Columbia appropriation bill
1t is necessary that the former should
become law before the holiday re-
cess, which this year is to be shorter
than usual, and Chairman Cannon
hopes to see it through the houses and
into the senate before the end of the
present week. The Democrats of the
house have not disclosed their position,
but it is not believed they will seek to
obstruct an appropriation bill neces-
sary for the maintenance of the army
now in the field. Should there be
disposition to open up and prolong a
debate upon the conduct of the war
upon this bill, it is safe to assume that
the committee on rules will be involved
to bring in an order of closed debate.
Intense interest is manifested in the
presidents message on account of the
great Importance of the many ques-
lions it will have to deal with, and no
presidential message in years, it is safe
to say, has been listened to with the
eagerness and interest with which the
reading of President McIlinley's mes
sage will be heard.

they are selling alcohol with the S25 internal
revenue license. They also visited saloons to
see whether empty cigar boxes are sold or
given away without the cancellation Of the

gists were caught iu Mahanoy City and some
saloonkecpers but what the result here was
has not beeu learned No suits have been

Anthracite tonnage is up to the average for
the first quarter of the year, though larger
this year than last, and at the same time one
hears Of trade being quiet. 1t is so because,
while the output is small, the demand from
the retail trade is of such character that
no great effort is needed to supply it, In
this way the business moves along without
anything to attract more than average atten-
tion and producers feel that there is moth
ing in it, because an improvement can
hardly be looked for in some weeks to come.
Soft coal at the sea board keeps about as il
