far less than usual of measures to be in
troduced.
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 policy
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 difficulty to find employ
ment il the senate is disposed to settle to
routine so early in the session.
During the closing days of the last ses-
sion Senator Morgan gave notice of his in
tention to call up the Nicaragua canal bill
at the beginning of the present session. He
unquestionably will redeem his promise, and
would doubtless seek the first opportunity
but for the possibility of change of sentiment
in favor Of having the government under
take the entire responsibility of building
the canal. All the indications are that
this question will be one of the most impor-
tant subjects under consideration during
the session.
Opposition is developing to the bill which
the Hawaiian commission will bring in and
for which early consideration will be asked.
There is a considerable contingent in the
senate opposed to constituting the islands
into a territory because of the apprehension
that they may be converted into a state,
and deliberate consideration of the subject
will be asked.
While it is quite too early to reach q
definite conclusion, there are decided indi.
cations of disposition on the part of the
senate to confine the sessions work to ro,l-
tine measures and the appropriation bills,
and it need surprise no one if the close Of
the session would demonstrate that this
general policy had been pursued

tinued all today, increasing in violence, ac-
companied by winds of almost gale velocity.
Shortly before midnight there was clear

4 few dispatches received at the maritime
exchange told of very heavy northeastern

other points along the New Jersey coast.
AT MANY points the tide rose to the highest
point it has reached in years.
At Atlantic City great damage was caused
to wires, and the city is in comparative dark
ness tonight. Several private residences
on the meadows were completely surrounded
by water, compelling occupants to Use boats
in going to and from buildings.
Reports from Eastern PENNSYLVANIA in
dicate the prevalence OF heavy winds and
rain, accompanied in some instances by a
slight fall of snow. At Shenandoah, where
snow fell, many small buildings on the out

A SHIP ON FIRE
A German Steamer Standing by to
Give Aid

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-The German
steamer Dalrearli, from Rio, which arrived
today, when in latitude 37.45, longitude 1857
came alongside of ship ablaze from the
stern to foremast, while large yellow fun
nelled German steamship was standing near
the flaming wreck. Nobody could be seen
on the deck OF the burning vessel, nor were
there any boats struggling amid the waves,
so it is probable that the crew were rescued
by the steamship which was waiting to note
the end
After steaming around the wreck twice
the Dalrearli proceeded on her way The
steamer by the burning ship was either the
Werra or the Fulda, OF the North German
Lloyd line. Both vessels sailed in company
from this port last week bound for uayre.

Crop Report.

Good rains fell on the first and
second over large portion of the
eastern and middle sections; in 9TH
er portions of these sections and in
the western section either no rain
fell or it was mostly in the charac.
ter of light local showers. Where
sufficient rain fell it was very bene-
fetal to late crops and to the land
that is being prepared for wheat.
In the dry districts, blowing has
been hindered, and late crops, espe.
cially corn, Irish potatoes and tur-
nips, are beginning TO be seriously
affected by the lack of moisture at
this critical period. Early corn is
maturing finely. Cotton is opening
rapidly and picking is in full prog
ress; the plant has improved great
ly since the warm, dry weather has
prevailed, but in some places the
lack of rain is causing a failure of
prospective yield. Tobacco is in
fine condition, and large proper
ton of the crop has been cut and
housed; the quality is reported ex-
ira fine; in some sections worms
appeared on late crops. Large
quantities of millet and peavine hay
and fodder were saved during the
favorable weather of the week. The
crop of sorghum is fine and rapidly
maturing; grinding is now in full
progress. Turnips in the dry dis
tricts are beginning to suffer for
want of rain. Peanuts are report
ed in fine condition of growth; the
acreage is smaller than last year.
Young clover has suffered great
ly from the raVages of grasshoppers
more than any other crop.
Late Irish potatoes are in fine con-
dition of growth where sufficient
rain has fallen; sweet potatoes prom
Use good yields generally. Fall
fruits continue to drop off. Pas
lures are in good condition generally.
