Washington, Dec. 20.-After being
in session for three-quarters of an hour
today, the house adjourned until Janu-
airy 3, 1907. Empty desks greeted the
speaker when the house convened, and
the desire to get away for the holidays
was superior to the inclination for bust
ness.
Mondell, Of Wyoming, succeeded in
passing the bill extending to May Is,
1907, the time in which entrymen may
make final settlement on the Shoshone
Indian reservation. Then Payne, OF
New York, called up his resolution re-
lating to the distribution of the presi-

committees in accordance with Gus
tom that has existed since the founda-
ton Of the government.
The house passed the resolution and

Washington, Dec. 10. - President
Roosevelt's message dealing with his
action in dismissing from the army the
negro troops of the three companies Of
the Twenty-fifth infantry furnished the
one topic Of interest in the senate's ses-
sion today A lively debate followed
the reading of the message as to what
should be done with it.
Foraker wanted it sent to the mill
tary committee with instructions to
make further investigation, should the
committee deem it necessary. He said
that in reality much that appeared to
be testimony was not testimony, as
much of it was not under oath. On
objection from Clay, the senate post
poned action until tomorrow.
The pension calendar was cleared by
the passage OF more than 200 private
pension bills.
AT the suggestion of Senator Lodge,
President Roosevelt's Panama message
will be printed for the senate in "nor-
