SHORT SESSION
OF THE SENATE
Will Adjourn Out of Respect TO
Memory of Dead Senators.
WEEKS PROGRAMME LIMITED
PRESIDENTS MESSAGE WILL BE
READ TUESDAY.

IAI ASHINGTON, Dec 1.-THE first
w act Of the senate upon converting
tomorrow will be one of respect
TO the memory to two distinguished
MISREPRESENTATION Quay and Senator
Hoar. Adjournment for the day will
follow at once and viii postpone re-
celpt of the presidents annual message
until Tuesday. That document will be
received early Tuesday and very little,
f. any, further business beyond its
reading and the induction into office of
Messrs. Knox OF Pennsylvania and
Crane Of Massachusetts will be under
taken that day. For the remainder Of
the week exceedingly brief sessions are
expected On Thursday adjournment
viii be taken until the following Mon
day.
Philippines Bill.
Senator Lodge will press the house
bill for the Philippines government as
soon as il is possible TO get that meas
Cre before the senate, and he has an
nounced HE intention not to brook op-
position TO its consideration. The bill
has the vast advantage Of being on
the calendar as unfinished business, 50
that it can easily be displaced. 1t is
not probable, however. that Mr. Lodge
now viii attempt more with reference
10 il than to give notice of his inten-
ton TO press its adoption.
Before the close of the session last
spring Senator HOar gave notice that
on next Tuesday he would call up the
bill providing means for the protection
Of the president but owing to the
death of the senator consideration of
the bill Will be deferred for some time
Pure Food Bill.
Senator Hepburn gave notice last
session that he would call up the pure
food bill next Tuesday, but while it is
generally understood that he will press
that question at all proper times it is
believed he will not make serious eff
fort TO proceed with il during the first
few days of the session. Another meas
ure which viii probably be taken up
early in. the session is the bill for the
admission of the four southwest terri
tories of two states.
Nothing more than preliminary work
| however can be done on any of these
bills in the fnst week.
Work of Steering Committee.
1t is expected that the Republican
steering committee will give attention
to the order of business early in the
session with a view TO general legis-
lation before the appropriation bills
begin 10 arrive from the house of rep
resentatives. Attention viii be given
TO filling committee vacancies caused
by the deaths of Senators Hanna, Hoar
and Quay but the disposition seems to
be opposed to doing more i'm that direc-
ton at present than to passing to Sen
ator Plat of Connecticut the chairman
ship of the committee on judiciary,
which place viii go to him by virtue
of seniority.
Monday will be characterized as usual
by the attendance of a large number
OF spectators and a liberal display Of
flowers on the desks of senators.

Internal revenue receipts show a
large decrease in the consumption of
PLAYING cards, with a CORRESPONDENCE
large increase in the consumption of Ii
quor during the last eight months, says
the New York Post. Compared with the
same period a year ago. the number of
packs of playing cards used by the peo-
pie of the United States was reduced
eight millions. On the other hand, the
consumption of whiskey was enough
larger to result in adding two and a
half million dollars more to the reve-
nues of the treasury. The Cigarette
fiend" also increased his allowance, for
the revenue from that source went up
three-quarters of million dollars.
These changes are fortuitous for the
most part. Changed methods of the
trade often account for an increase or
decrease in the outstanding stocks,
aside from the movements of popular
demand.
