BUSY DAYS FOR HOUSE.
Much Work To Be Done Before
adjournment Thursday.

Washington. Dec. 16-Both houses Of Congress
will adjourn on Thursday for the holidays. unless
the Senate should change the programme adopted
by the House. which is probable. The House
resolution calls for the reCo1veuiuE of the two
bodies on Thursday. January 5. There is some dis
position in the Senate to extend the time until the
following Monday, but it does not seem likely that
this will ne done
The House has laid out somewhat extended
prog1 anime for the time before the holiday adj
jourument Tomorrow will be devoted TO the con
sideraton of bills under suspension Of the rules,
and the rest of the time until Thursday will be
given TO legislation pertaining to the District Of
Columbia and to the bill making appropriations for
the conduct Of Indian affairs. There are twenty OF
thirty bills the District calendar which MI
Babcock, chairman of the District Committee, Is
anxious have passed and the Committee on
Rules has promised him time for their constdera-
ton. There will also be effort 20 obtain action
the Indian Appropriation bill and Chairman
Sherman of the Indian COMMITTEES is hopeful OF sue
cess. If there should be time left the Omnibus
Claims bill will be taken up.
The Urgent Deficiency Appropriation bill, which
passed the House Saturday is expected to receive
the sanction Of the Senate before the holiday ad-
jourument. The provision in the bill looking TO the
carrying into effect of the Pure Food law is re-
ga-ded by both the Senate and the House as really
urgent and it is not only expected tnat the Senate
will pass the bill. but that it viii dispose Of IL
early enough in the week to return il 10 the House
in time permit that body TO take action before
the adjournment Thursday on any amendments
which the Senate may make. II is possible that
the provision in the Deficiency bill 10 meet the eX-
penses of the Intervention OF this country IN
Cuba will provoke some debate, but otherwise the
bill is expected to pass after brief Consderatl ton
There is also a possibility of speeches by Sen
ators KittTedge and Gearn on their respective
resolutions providing for investigation OF the
lumber trust and inquiry into the Japanese sit
uatIon: but il seems probable that they viii post
pone their remarks until after the holidays There
is a general disposition IN the Senate 10 defer any
further consideration of important questions until
January The SmoOt question the Negro troops
question and general legislation. with the excep-
tiOns noted, will be thus postponed
Much interest attaches in both houses 10 the
various Presidential messages. which. it is under
stood will be sent TO Congress during the week.
The Panama message. detailing the President :
observations his recent visit TO the canal zone
and outlining his recommendations concerning the
work there is expected tomorrow.

Why M4TSON RESIGNED.
inOentor Tells of Alleged Slight to
L. S. by La PrOrence's Captain.

Harry Matson. formerly chief steward the
fEehch liner La Provence, who resigned because he
considered the French Line had committed af-
front to the United States. arrived here yesterday
on the steamer La Tourane.
Mr.. Matsou said that Captain Alix of La Pro
Nence mad been relieved of the command Of his ship
and that Captain Poirrot had taken his place. 1t
was said that Captain Alix was removed because
he mad offered affront TO Captain Ira Harris
supervising steamboat inspector of this port III
refusing to permit a test of the Matson life raft
from La Provence. The test had been prepared
especially for Captain Harris and representatives
Of the navy and the Department of Commerce and
La Dor.
Paul FasUet, local representative of the French
Line. said last night that Captain AIix had not
been relieved Of the command of La Provence but
had taken three months leave account Of i'll
ness.
Mr.. Natson showed copies of several letters writ
ten to Mr.. Faguet by Captain Harris relating to
the Incident of Captain Alx's refusal permit the
test. When told Of the contents OF the letters Mr
Faguet said he had no Knowledge Of receiving such
correspondence. and declined talk further the
controversy.

W. Morse had ordered two RATS from Havre to
be placed the Metropolitan Line, TO Boston, and
the inspection had TO be made before he could use
them After summing up the situation IN his letter
to Mr.. Faquet, Captain Harris, according TO the
letters yesterday shown by Mr.. MatsOn said:
This is plain statement OF facts. But one In
ference can be drawn. The captain Of La Provence
has aTronted the United States Steamboat In
spectors and the United States navy. Whether
you have any authority him not don't
know. II not. of course, consider him
responsible II you have such authority. it seems
that you should have ordered him to pre-
pare the test IL an American captain announced
that ne could get his Hfesaving equipment
ready for inside of tWenty-fOuT hours. the con-
diton of his ship and his personal efficiency would
be investigated. 7 believe the test could have
heen made at any time. but that the captain pre-
ferred furnish his gratuous insult to the United
States authorities rather than allow an inspection
which would be of benefit TO the chief steward Of
his vessel.
