IN CONGRESS-.
Forecnst of Important Work
Laid Out for in Week I'm the
House d senate.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE week does
not promise to be busy one in the SEN
ate, the indications being for routine
business and short sessions inside the
chamber, with much preparation for
future work in the committee rooms.
Senator Mason will open the week with
a speech on his resolution declaring the
sympathy of this country with tie
Beers in their war with Great Britain.
There may be other brief speeches up
on this and other questions, though
there is a general disposition on the
part of senators 10 postpone speech
making until after the holidays. The
republican senators generally feel that
the most important work for the pres
ent is 10 secure the reorganization of
the committees, especially the finance
committee, as preliminary 10 other
work. An effort will be made 10 complete
the reorganization during the present
week. The finance committee may meet
on Tuesday for preliminary considera-
tion Of the finance bill, but this is not
yet decided upon. The expectation now
is that this bill will not be taken up in
the senate until after the Christmas
holidays. The committee on foreign re-
lations will take up the reciprocity
treaties on Wednesday. The committee
on privileges and elections will consider
the contests over senatorial seats in
desultory way, but the real work on
these will not begin until Saturday,
when opposing consul will be heard in
the Quay case.
The house will devote the week en-
tirely to the financial debate on the cur
rency bill. Under the terms of the spe
cial order adopted on Friday the gen
eral debate will open to-day immediate
ly after the reading of the journal, and
continue daily from noon until five
o'clock Friday. On Saturday the bill
will be read paragraph by paragraph
for amendment under the fiveminute
rule. The vote will not be taken un-
til the following Monday.

PLEA n BY l6SERrs.
Utah Man Makes AN Argument 40 the
Committee-session Ia he
Made Public.

Washington, Dee. 1l.-Congressman-
elect Roberts, of Utah, at a secret ses-
sion of the committee having his case
in charge, on Saturday acknowledged
the existence of the court record where
in he pleaded guilty in 1889 of misde-
meanor under the Edmunds-Tucker
law. When asked whether he had mar
ried plural wives since 1890 and had
lived with them he said he had not, and
then demurred TO the jurisdiction Of
the committee. Roberts argued the
points of his case for nearly two hours,
frequently referring to the statute and
answering all inquiries propounded. Ii
was legal controversy throughout, the
facts not being gone into in detail. Rob
erts concluded by asking that his prima
facie right to seat in congress be con-
sidered at once, as the present status
denies TO "A sovereign state representa-
ton in the house at time when i'm
furious legislation affecting that state
may be enacted.
At the conclusion of Roberts argu-
ment the committee held an executive
session and adjourned until the after
noon. 1t was announced that the sub
sequent meetings ~ the committee
would be public. Al the afternoon ses-
sion the chairman invited some one
representing the delegation protesting
against Roberts TO tell thp comm tee
