Washington, December 1.-THE senate
has no programme for the present week
and the Indications are that short daily
sessions will be held and very little bust
ness will be transacted. Both houses Will
adjourn for the Christmas holidays We'd
nesday. Outside of official nominations
there is practically no business on the
calendar, all important matters In COM
mittee having been delayed for the re-
organization OF the committees effected at
the close OF business last week. SO far
no notices of speeches on any subject have
been given and senators generally eX-
press themselves as disposed to postpone
the real business of the session until after
the recess. It is expected that the finan-
cial bill will be received from the house
during the week. 1t will be referred to
the committee on finance. This commit
tee expects to make its report soon after
the resumption of business in the new
year The real work of the session Will
then begin.

THE HOUSE.
The Currency Bill to BE voted OF


The Currency Bill to BE Voted on
Washington, December 1.-THE two
events of Importance in the house this
week before adjournment for the holiday
recess Wednesday. will be the vote on
the currency bill tomorrow Immediately
after the reading of the journal, and the
announcement of The committees Tuesday.
Under the terms of the special order neith-
er motion 10 recommt nor substitute
proposition is in order and the vote will
be taken directly upon the passage of the
bill. The result is foregone conclusion
as it will command every republican vote.
The interest in the vote therefore lies only
in the record of democratic disaffection
it will show. The Eastern democrats
generally, with the exception of few
from New York are not in line with their
democratic brethren from the South and
West on the money question but not all
of them will vote for the bill. According
TO careful canvass made by Mr.. Over
street OF Indiana, who has been in charge
of the measure, 1t will receive eight DEM
ocratic votes at least, and he believes
seven democrats will dodge. He figures
that the bill will have majority of thir-
tyiive. So far as can be ascertained no
other business will be transacted by the
house this week

The death of Lieutenant Brumby while
not unexpected, was great shock to Adj

men for several years past have been
very intimate and strong friendship had
grown up between them. Lieutenant
Brumby went out to the Asiatic station
with Admiral Dewey and had been with
him until they both returned to the

Washington, December II. - NJ Rou-
towsky. the agent of the ministry OF
FRANCES OF Russia In Washington, in a
communication to the Associated Press
which has received the approval OF the
Russian ambassador complains of the al,
tempts which he says We're made in Eu-
rops recently to create in this country the
impression that the relations between the
governments OF Japan and Russia were
strained. Immediately after the state
ment had been authoritatively denied by
the Russian ambassador and the Japanese
minister here. says NJ. Routowsl1y. sensa-
tlonaI runners were started presumably
IN Berlin, and directed against the credit
OF the Russian empire. These were TO-.
lowed by libels directed against the emf
hent statesmen to whose care was in
trusted the credit, and appeal made to
Japan IN an article on Russian finances
TO attack that country before her Trans
siberian railway could be completed. NJ.
houtoWsky adds that in view of the fact
that all OF these false rumors and mis-
statements, II not exposed might leave
among capitalists and hnanciers in this
country an erroneous impression he has
decided TO give TO the press some figures
