FORECAST
OF What Congress is Likely to Do
During the Remainder Of the Ses-
sion.

Washington, January 3-Congress
will reconvene tomorrow in accord
ance with the terms of the holiday adj
journment resolution. The Senate will
almost Immediately adjourn for the day
as an evidence of respect for the mem
DRY of Senator Morrill,. 1t is customary
not to transact any business whatever
on such occasions, but there is posi-
bility that message may be received
from the President transmitting the
peace treaty, as it is known to be the
general desire that the treaty shall be
formally laid before the Committee on
Foreign Relations at the earliest posi-
BILE moment so that the committee may
make its report as promptly as con-
sistent with its duty in the premises.
A session of the Senate will be held
on Thursday, but there is a movement
looking to an adjournment from that
day until the following Monday. based
upon the probability that there will not
be full attendance of Senators so soon
after the holidays.
There will be two months of the ses-
sion left, to day, from the date of
recovering, and the time will be fully
occupied if half the work is to be done
that is planned None of the regular
appropriation bills have passed the
Senate and the River and Harbor bill
is to be added to the regular list this
session. None regard the treaty of less
Importance than the supply bills and it
will be pressed along with them when
reported, practically without regard to
other bills
SO far as the opponents have plan
it is to let the treaty go through and
then devote themselves to shaping leg
islation consequent upon its ratifca-
ton. They may offer their amendment
committing this government against an
attempt to exercise sovereignty in the
Philippines, but they do not expect it
to become part of the document.
The treaty will be discussed in exec
utlVe session but this senators Will
continue to make speeches in the open
Senate on Senator Vests anti-expan-
sion resolution.
The consideration of a code of laws
for the territory of Alaska, reported
from the committee on the revision of
the laws, is expected to take up the
greater portion Of the legislative day
in the House tomorrow. If that body
follows its usual custom it will adjourn
some time during the afternoon, out of
reseptc to the momory of Senator Nor
rill Thursday is to be given to the
committee on the judiciary, when a
number Of measures reported from it
is likely to be passed. There is no
fixed programme for the remainder of
the week. The executive, legislative
and judicial appropriation bill may be
reported during the week, In which
case an effor: will be made to secure
consideration Of the measure by the
House.

The boxing game is very dull in this
section at present, but there will prob
ably be two or three contests under
M. A. C. auspices before the warm
weather comes. Ever since Jack Bon
ner, and Dyer, his colored opponent,
fought their fast battle before the
Lenox Athletic Club, Matchmaker Les
lie Pearee, of the M. A. c., has had
his eyes on the pair Bonner whipped
Nick Burley here, and his abilities as
boxer are we'll known. His fight with
Dyer is said to have been one of the
best ever taking place at the Lenox
A. c. Mr.. Pearce is now in CORE
spondence with Bonner and Dyer, and
hopes to induce them to sign articles
to box twenty rounds before the Met
ropolitan Club within the next few
weeks. They would make splendid

claims the feather-weight champion
ship of Ohio Finerty wants to meet
anybody at from 11S to 1875 pounds, and
mentions as his preferences, Oscar
Gardner, Tommy Hogan, Johnny La
vack, and Jack McClelland. Finerty
claims to have fought four-round
draw with George Dixon, and to have
put out Jack" McClelland in six
rounds. 1t is possible that he may
succeed in getting match.
President Murphys offer of $500 for
a match between Jack" McClelland
and Frank Bradley, was made during
the progress of the latter's battle with
Oscar Gardner. and before the nine
teenth round. While there is no posi-
tive information to that effect, it is
not likely that the offer still stands,
inasmuch as the men have signed arti-
cles, and are awaiting inducements
from clubs. Bradley would give Nc
ClelIand a good argument, but the lat
ter would probably win.
It is announced that the winner Of
the 25-round bout between Dave"
Sullivan and Oscar Gardner, scheduled
to take place at the Lenox Athletic
club on January 10, will be matched
against the winner of the contest be-
tween George Dixon and Young
Pluto.
The ministers of Gallon, Ohio, were
successful in their fight against the
Jenleins-Pierce prize fight, which was
billed to take place there for a purse of
$3.50. The ministers had endeavored to
stop the fight through the city officials,
but without success. They next ap
preached the proprietor CT the opera
house, and succeeded in having the
fight stopped.
