the Holiday Recess.

The Senate meets at noon today without
any definite order Of business before the
1 upper body of Congress.

Amend several of the rules.
Take action on the nomination of At
torney General Knox.
Dispose of all of the recess and later

day it is ..ypected that Senator Quarles
will address the Senate. on his resoIu-
tion providing that in future all treaties
shall be debated in public session. instead
of in secret session, as has heretofore
been the case.
The proposition is an astounding one
TO the older members OF the body. What

should be made public prop, ~, as they
are the most interesting and instructive
