noted. c e r t a | n
groups of men are
considering the Sc

for governor, others
are seeking repre-

speaking. all are CIV

choice of their par
ties in making NOM
nations for local Of

The eager interest
felt by the people in
the coming CAM
paign so early in the
year is a good sign.
1t is an evidence
that the voters in
tend to direct the
contest from start to

siding officer, neither Mayor Harrison
nor Ex-Governor Altgeld desiring the
place. Chairman J. w. Orr of the state
committee called the convention to or
der at 1890.
The platform to be adopted by the
convention is the work of special COM

affirm the Chicago platform, declare
against government by injunction, at
tack the Dingley law, urge a vigorous
prosecution of the war, denounce and
demand the repeal Of the Allen law, and
soundly arraign Governor Tanner.

Washington, December 4.-Senators ex
press d determination to take up the
work of the session vigorously in the be-
ginning with the hope of having it we'll
advanced before tie holidays, and they
are counting upon taking up the appro-
priation bills at very early date for the
purpose of preventing an extra session
iue to any failure on the part of the ma
tional budget. 1t is expected that the
army deficiency bill will reach the Senate
during the present week, the understand
ing at the north end of the Capital being
that the House will dispose of it within
very few days after assembling. The
committee on appropriations will bring
it in early for the double purpose of hay
ing it passed quickly and Of testing the
feeling of Senators on questions connsct-
ed with the war.
The first days session will be given up
almost entirely to the Presidents nles-
sage and there is great interest manifest.
ed in hearing the minutest details of the
Presidents s recommendations After the
reading of the message the Senate will
adjourn until next day.
Plans for legislation of general scope
will wait the prom ulgation of this docu
ment and as a consequence one hears far
less than usual of measures to be intro
duced.
1t is impossible to say what matters
will occupy the week after the disposal of
the message but it Is probable that some
speeches may be delivered upon the poll
cy indicated by the message and also that
the calendar may be taken up.
There are many measures which have
been reported and there will be no diff
Guilty to find employment if the Senate Is
disposed to settle to routine so early in
the SO ssion.
During the closing days of the last ses-
sion Senator Morgan gave notice OF his
intention to call I'D the Nicaragua Canal
bill at the beginning OF the present ses-
sion.
He upauestionably will redeem this
promise and would doubtless seek the
trst opportunity but for the possibility
off change of sentiment in having the
government undertake the entire respon-
siDility of building the canal.
All indications are that this question
will be one of the most prominent sub
iects under consideration during the ses-
sion.
Opposition is developing to the bill
which the Hawaiian commission will
bring in and for which early consid-
GRAFTON will be asked. There is oontin-
gent in the Senate opposed to ronstitut
Ing the islands into territory because
of the apprehension that they may be CON
yerUed into a state and deliberate consid-
Grafton of the subject will b. ask d.
While it is quite too early TO reach a
definite conclusion there are decided in
dications of disposition on the part ot
the Senate to confne the sessions work
to routine measures and the appropriation
nils and it need surprise no one if the
close of the session would demonstrate
that this general policy had been pursued

CURTAIN RINGS UP TODAY.
Final Session Of Fifty.fifth Congress
Begins.
SESSION TOO SHORT TO TAKE UP
ANY OF THE GREAT QUESTIONS.

Appropriation Bill, Hawaiian Commission
Bill. and Bill to Increase Army the
- ONLY Ones Likely to he Acted Upon.
Washington, December 4.-The curtain
will ring up tomorrow at noon upon the
closing session of the 55th Congress.
The war and the fruits of the American
victory carry in their wake many prob.
lens which the national legislature must
solve. But though many questions may
press for solutions, the brief space covered
by this session which expires by limita-
tion March 4, precludes the possibility of
m uch being accomplished beyond the pas
sage of the regular money budgets, the
legislation for the increase of the regular
army which the administration deems
necessary to meet the obligations imposed
upon the country " the result of the war
and probably the enactment of law to
give permanent territorial government
to the Hawaiian islands. This covers all
the important legislation which the Con-
gressional leaders expect to see enacted
at this session. 1t is almost the unani

attempt should be made to iegislate con-
cerning the possessions acquired by the
war with Spain at this session. There
are earnest advocates of the Nicaraguan
canal bill who will strive to secure its
passage now and they may possibly be
successful, but neither it nor any one OF
the measures like the pooling bill anu
soalpers' bill, etc., which have strong
friends, will be- allowed to interfere with
the bills, the passage of which is deemed
absolutely necessary to prevent an extra
session.
Intense interest is manifested in the
Presidents message which will be sub
nitted to Congress tomorrow on account
of the great Importance of the many
questions it will have to deal with and
no presidential message i'll years, 1t Is
safe to say, has been listened to with the
eagerness and interest with which Presi-
dent McKinley's message will be heard
tomorrow. The rea ing of the message
will probably occupy two hours.
On Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest
the House will plunge into its work.
Chairman Cannon will have the deli
cheney bill ready and it will occupy the
attention of this House to the exclusion OF
everything else for the remainder OF the
week.
