Senate VIII Adjourn Through Re- speCt to Dead Members WORK WILL BEGIN TUESDAY Oh That Day Senator Frye Expects to Get Up the Shipping Sub-
 sidY BiIl-An Arrangement
 With Senator Morgan

Washington, December 2-The Senate will be called to order at 12 o'clock tomorrow, but beyond the probable reading of the Presidents message will transact no busi- ness, as the announcement of the death during the recess of Senators Davis and Gear will be made. When the message has been read 1t will bring the sitting to close. These announcements will be preceded by the ceremony of swearing in the new mem- bers, who this year are MT. Dolllver who has been appointed to succeed Senator Gear, and MT. Dillingham;, who takes the place formerly occupied by Senator Ross of Vermont, and the appointment of the usual committees to wait on the President and the House of Representatives.
 MT. Frye expects to get up the shipping subsidy bill on Tuesday; if not on that day then on Wednesday, and is doing this to have the Spooner Philippine bill displaced. This will be the beginning of the important work of the session, and upon the success or failure of the scheme may depend much of the future course of proceedings for the entire session. In order to accomplish this result it will be necessary first to get the consent of the Republican committee on or der of business, and to that end the meet ing of that committee will be held after the adjournment of the Senate Monday. It is probable that a friendly arrangement will be made with Senator Morgan, who has the Niearaguan bill in charge, that bill being on the calendar as a special order for the 10th instant.
 There Is some talk of an effort during the week to get up the Hay-Pauncefote treaty in executive session, but there is as yet no definite programme to this end. A move ment Is FO0t to secure the assent of the con. aibtee on foreign relations to the abandonment of the Davis amendment to the treaty for the fertilization of the proposed canal.

HE IT VERY MUCH DIsHEARTENED
English Papers Comment With Un. bounded Enthusiasm Upon the Snub Administered Him, While
 Paris is Much Surprised.

Berlin, December 2.-Mr ,tdger has abandoned his proposed visit to Berlin, owing to the receipt Of an official intima- ton that Emperor William regrets that in consequence of previous arrangements he will be unable to receive him. The Boer statesman will therefore proceed direct from Cologne for Holland. He telegraphed today to this effect.
 The Cologne Gazette in an inspired com- munication says: MT Kruger's visit is not agreeable to Germany, his aim being to obtain intervention in South Africa It would be grave political mistake, it would be even a great crime, to allow him to entertain even a spark of hope that Ger many will render him any practical sup port'
 This declaration is accompanied with re- breaches MT. Kruger being charged with having encouraged a uneless guerrilla war fare and having disregarded Germany'a advice when he might have still follow- ed it."

PREseYTERIAN CREED.
New Standard of Doctrine Will Proba-
 bly, be Recommended.

F Chicago, December 2.-The committee ap- pointed by the last General Assembly of the Presbyterian church to consider the revision of the creed Of the church will meet in Washington, D. C., Tuesday, and pr. H. Johnson of Mccormick Theological Seminary who is the chairman. will leave Chicago tomorrow to preside. The vote which Dr. Johnson will present to the com mittee is as follows:
 For revision, 65; for a supplementary creed. CT; for a substitutonal creed, 15; for an explanatory statement, Il; for dis missal of the subject, 1. There are forty presbyteries which have not been heard from most of tenn being in China, India or Mexico Dr. Johnson said:
 '"The popular vote of the Presbyterian church indicates that some changes in our creed is demanded. Exactly what that change or changes will be I cannot say, but it Is probable that the committee will recommend to the next general assembly that a supplementary creed be adopted.
 'T should say that the new article would be another standard of doctrine in addition to the four great principles now contained in the old creed and authorized and sane toned by the Presbyterian church. All the essentials of our faith will probably be contained in this supplement, but put in such form to be clear to the popu- lar mind. Some of our creed has been misconstrued and that Is why some Pres byterians have asked for merely an ex- plantory statement"

Many Important Measures Will
 Come Before House THE ARMY BILL 10 BE PASSED Bill to Reduce the War Revenue Taxes Has Been Practically Com- pleted-Some Dissatisfaction
 Exists-Ihe Message

Washington, December 2.-The leaders of the House are preparing to press with great vigor the important business of the short session of Congress which convenes tomor- rev. Already coniderable prenminary com mittee work has been done on the impor- tant measures, the bill for the reduction of the war revenue taxes, the army reorgani- zauon bill, the rivers and harbors bill and several of the appropriation bills, and the legislative mill starts under full head of steam.
 The army reorganization bill is considered particularly urgent owing to the possibility of it's meeting strenuous opposition after it reaches the Senate, and it is the intention of the leaders to get it out of the way at the earliest possible moment. It will be re- ported probably on Tuesday, and will be taken up at once unless after further con- sultation it is decided to let the legislative executive and judicial appropria ton bill, which also will be ready on Tuesday, in ahead of 1t. The Democrats will caucus on the army bill on Monday, and the indica- tionS now are that they will offer a substi- tute for the permanent organization meas ure, a bill extending for two or three years the law for a provisional army.
 The Revenue Bill.
 The bill to reduce the war revenue taxes has been practically completed by the Re- publican members of the ways and means committee and 1t will be submitted to the full committee Tuesday unless in the mean time caucus of the Republicans should be found advisable Some of the Republi- can members are not satisfied with the list of articles relieved of taxation by the bill and if too much opposition becomes evil dent when the House convenes on Monday, the leaders probably will call conference or caucus for the purpose of adjusting and harmonizing differences.
 Thursday the Grout oleomargarine Dill Will come up as >sbecial order under rule made at the last session It imposes tax of 10 cents per pound on oleomaragirne, butterine or other manufactured buffers colored in imitation of butter. It has strong backing from the dairy interests, and while it will meet with warm opposition its pass age is regarded as a foregone conclusion.
 No business will be transacted at the session tomorrow beyond the probable read ing of the Presidents message.
