WILL Be A DULL
WEEK IN SENATE
Finance Committee to
Be ReorganiZed.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1O.-The week
does not promise TO be busy one in the
Senate, the indications being for routine
business and short sessions inside the
chamber with much preparation for fu-
ture work in the committee-rooms. Sena-
tor Mason will open the week with
speech on his resolution declaring the
sympathy of this country with the Beers
in their war with Great Britain. There
may be other brief speeches upon this
and other questions, though there Is a
general disposition on the part OF the
Senators to postpone speechmaking until
after the holidays.
The Republican Senators generally feel
that the most important work for the
present is to secure the reorganization or
the committees, especially the Finance
Committee, as preliminary to other work.
An effort Will be made to complete the
reorganization during the present week.
The Finance Committee may meet on
Tuesday for preliminary consideration 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 un-
til after the Christmas holidays.
The Committee on Foreign Relations
will take up the reciprocity treaties on
Wednesday The Committee on Privi-
leges and Elections will consider the tests
over Senatorial seats in a desultory way,
but the real work on these will not begin
until Saturday, when opposing counsel will
be heard in the Quay case.

their change OF position.
On the Democratic side some OF the

LADYSMITH, Friday. Dec. (via Frere
Camp. Dec. 9).-The most brilliant piece
OF work that has been done during the
siege was accomplished at an early. hour
this morning. A column Of Light Horse
Natal Volunteers, supported by British

Hunter. Before dawn broke they at

seven men wounded.
This magnificent piece Of work has evil

their guns on Mount Bulwan have prac-
tically been silent all day. The success
of the attack cannot fail TO have an i'm
mense effect upon the morale of the
Beers.
At daybreak a smart skirmish took
place between the Eighth Hussars and
the Fifth Lancers and the enemy TO the
northwest Of Ladysmith. near Pepworth
Hill. our cavalry had been eotering an
attack on the guns during the night and
the Beers thought that all our troops
were engaged at Lombards Kop. They
therefore tried TO get near the town, but
the movement was checked in capital
style by the cavalry and our infantry
on long hill. The fighting was. over
at about o'clock. Our total loss for
the mornings work was four killed and
seventeen wounded.

Christianity In Business.

"There is not the least question that as
the commercial world is organized ani
run today it is run at a fearful loss alons
the side of money writes Rev. Charles
NJ. Sheldon in The Ladies' Home Jour
nal. Even the rules of success tina
business men lay down do not insure sue
cess. Perhaps no age has equaled thi
for disturbance and unrest and warrin:
interests in the business world.
IF the principles of Christianity wer
applied to the whole business world, i
would cause shock that for the tim
being would result in what might indee,
prove to be the greatest financial panic o
the ages, but out of that result woul'
emerge a new order of buying and SCI
ing that would result ultimately in ms :
financial success on the part of MT
people than the world has ever witness,E
Ultimately love will pay in dollars al
rents better than selfshness. 5l
''On selfish principles the business wosb
today does not succeed even in the IL
ter of making money-that is. not =,
any length of time nor for the masses :,
the people. Love in business would lt-
less money and actually distribute t
real earnings of toll among far great
number of human beings than is possils
now under the present system" )
