Congressional Forecast.

Washington, ID. c., JAM. 14.-Deh-
mite notice has been served uuon Senator
Beveridge, who is chairman Of the com.
mittee on territories in charge of the
statehood bill, that he will not be eble
to secure vote on that measure so long
as it provides for the makingof one State
out OF the territories of Arizona and New
Mexico. The opposition to this part of
the bill is determined and il includes some
of the hest fighters of the Senate. 1t
can be accepted IS certain, therefore,
that if any new State is added to the
Union by this Congress, it will be that
formed by the amalgamatiOn of Okla
bona and Indian Territory, and state
hood legislation will go no further.
Senator Hepburn hopes to Induce the
Senate next week to give consideration
to his pure food bill. An effort will also
be made by Senator Gallinger to secure
the passage ofsome District Of Columbia
legislation. The ratification appropria-
ton is nearly completed in committee
and will be reported and considered next
week.
1t was rumored that it was the inten-
ton of the advocates of proposed ship
subsidy legislation to attempt to secure
consideration during the week OF the
bill recommended by the Merchant Ma
rine Commission. Senator Gallinger
saws however, that while he will seize
any opportunity that presents itself to
get the subsidy bill before the Senate,
he does not see any chance of doing it
next week. Ceremonies in connection
with the acceptance of the statue of the
late Senator John ]. ingalls, feom the
State of Kansas wi occur next Saturday.
Unless business under suspension of the
rules shall occupy too much
time on Monday, the Swayne impeach-
ment case will sgain be called up for
consideration in the House. The army
appropriation bill is still pending and
will come up again when the Swayne
case has been disposed of. The pension bill
and the Indian appropriation bile have
both been reported and will be called
after the army bill. The river and harss
Dor bill and the public building bill will
probably be agreed on in committee next
week.

been trying to break the lines OF
communication to intercept General
Nogi's big siege guns and prevent bis
$4,000 men from Port Arthur reinforc-
Ing Field Marshal Oyama's army in
Manchuria. They attacked Niuchwang,
compelled the japanese to retire tempo
rarily, but were subsequently put to
flight. Cossacks also tore up the rail
way tracks between Tatchekiao and
Yenkow, but they were driven off and
The line promptly repaired.
These operations have, so far, not in
terfered with the japanese plans, and it
is expected that within month the
bulk Of General Nogis army, no longer
needed at Port Arthur, will be on the
japanese lines in Manchuria.
Rear Admiral Botrovsky's division OF
the second Pacific squadron sailed from

Gen. Stoessel and other officers who
gave parole, with the women and child
reD, left January IL. There are no
signs OF privation at Port Arthur, and
the food was sufficient for two months.
The surrender is attributed to the lack
of ammpnition, the loss of warship,
and the death or the real defended of
the fortress, Gen. Kondrachenkom; the
severity of the japanese artillery fire,
and the difficulty OF maintaining order
smong the workmen in the fortress.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT yesterday
evening, in a special message to Con-
gress, transmitted the report of the 18th
mian Canal Commission and a letter
from Secretary Taft, recommending that
the commission be reduced from seven
members to three, aud that the admins
TRAITOR Of the canal zone also serve as
Minister to Panama. Secretary TAFT
says the present plan for building the
canal has proved "unelastic." The
President asks that in forming the new
commission he be left entirely free to
choose the men he considers best fitted
tor the work, and that the requirement
that two of the commissioners shall come
from the engineer corps of the army and
navy be removed, and as he is all pow
erfuI now, his ideas will probably be
adopted. He has discussed his reduc-
ton plan with the leaders of the House
and Senate, who are in full sympathy
with it, ard the legislation which ne
recommends will probably be passed with
out delay.
