ARMENIANs IN REVOLT.
Conditions in the Caucasus Said to Be
IntoIerabIe.

IntoIerabIe.
Berlin, Jan 4.-The St. Petersburg
correspondent of the Lokal Anzeiger
says that conditions in the Caucasus
are intolerable, owing to the Armenian
revolutionary movement and the ex-
cesses of the brigands.
The correspondent adds that the
Grand Duke Nicholas has arrived at
st. Petersburg for the purpose Of ex-
planning to the car that Prince Galit-
Yin. the governor of the Caucasus, Is
unequal to the situation.
The trouble in the Caucasus is the
result of an imperial decree confiscat-
ing the entire property of the ancient
Armenian church in Russia. Large
quantities of arms and ammunition
have been struggled into the Arme-
MAN districts in Southern Russia and
all is now in readiness for a general
instruction in the Caucasus in the
spring.

CALENDAR ALMOST BARE.

No Important Legislation at Present
Before the House.
Washington, Jan. 4.-The house re-
assemblies after it's vacation to be con-
fronted by an almost bare calendar.
Only a few items of legislation have
been reported by committees and all
these are of comparative insignificance.
It therefore will be necessary for the
house to wait for a few days upon it's
committees before beginning the trans
action of important business. In the
meantime the house will consider pri-
vate pension bills and other unimport-
ant questions.

PANAMA CANAL TREATY WILL
OCCUPY THE ATTENTION
OF THE SENATE.
LITTLE WORK FOR HOUSE
NO IMPORTANT LEGISLATION BE.
FORE THAT BODY At THE
PRESENT TIME.
n

Washington, Jan. 4.-After a recess
OF more than two weeks the senate re-
sumes business today without any
definite programme. Indeed it may be
stated that the senate has no pro-
gramme for the entire session beyond
the passage of the appropriation bills,
the consideration Of the Panama canal
treaty, the determination of Senator
Shoots a and the disposition of
some other comparatively unimportant
matters. Only n Of the appropria-
ION bills, namely, the pension bill,
as reached the senate and that has
ot"yet been considered in committee.
& is probable, however, that it will be
reported at an early date. The Pana-
ma canal treaty also is in committee
and it also probably will be reported
to the senate during the present week.
The Smoot case will be proceeded with
by the committee on privileges and
elections, but the indications are that
some weeks will elapse before the
question a be brought before the
senate in regular order.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
canal treaty is not at present in the
senate LQoTe is llLClo 0OuDC claL the
canal question will form the leading
topic for discussion during the week.
Senator Lodge will speak in favor of
ratification on Tuesday, and he will
probably be followed by other senators
who antagonize the attitude Of the ad-
ministratiOn.
The committee is expected to report
the canal treaty by the middle Of the
week and it is the intention Of the
friends of the administration to press
consideration Of the treaty by the
senate as rapidly as possible, with the
idea of getting speeches out of the
way and having the treaty disposed OF
as early as practicable in the session.
With the treaty one reported they will
make an effort to confine the discus
sion to the executive sessions in the
hope that by so doing they can secure
the consideration Of the question.
The committee on military affairs
will probably report the nomination Of
Brigadier General Wood to be made
major general, a t-the first executive
session of the senate, and a long de-
bate is anticipated on this subject.
