adjournment will be dedicated
In the house to further discus
sion of federal control of insur-
ance and to completing the en-
actment of the Panama emer-
gency appropriation. Speaker
Cannon has concurred in the

es as good basis as anything
else for this debate. Committee
work will progress during the
debate. The ways and means
committee will continue its hear
ings of the Philippine tariff and
the appropriations committee
will begin the preparation OF the
District of Columbia appropria-
ton bill. The statehood bill Is to
be perfected. but will not. under
the present plan, be brought in
to the house until January 4,
when II Is expected to constl-
tute the first business.
The senate will meet the
wishes of the house for an ad-
journment for the Christmas
holidays on Thursday next
Meantime, the senate will prob
ably content itself with compar-
atively little work. unless there
should be difficulty in agreeing
with the house on the terms of
the Panama canal ems syency

ure will go to conference com
mittee early in the week. Sena-
tor Gallinger will make an ef-

Revolutionists Issue Appeal.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 10. The
workmen's council. under the very
noses Of the police. has succeeded in
printing a hundred thousand copies
of its paper announcing that the gov
eminent has declared civil war or
the proletariat and saying that tho
challenge must be accepted. In its
appeal to the people the council de-
clares this is the governments last
fight; that the throne of the Roman
offs is tottering and that another
blow will cause ii to fall.
The council adds:
"While the government at st. Pc
tersburg is falling, its own regiments
are rising against it, and at Riga a
republic has already been proclaimed
A few regiments may still be faithful,
but the army as a whole is on oui
side. The government wants fight,
ii shall have it,"
The paper also contains a direct
appeal to the army, adiuring the
troops to remember that they come
from the people and must not fire
on their kith and kin.
In spite of the fury of the revolu-
tionists, however, considerable con-
fidence is expressed in government
circles that the extreme elements in
the present temper of tn workmen
viii not dare to call a general strike,
ard that ii they do the chances are
that it will be failure.
Operators on the bourse are inclin-
Ell to interpret rather favorably the
strong measures taken by the gov
ernnent.

mored that $4,000 900 in gold has
been shipped abroad to help in sup
porting Russian securities in the for
eign markets.
