ersass and othsr Important Meas.
urss viii Bs Defeated Before Final
Adjournment Saturday.

Washington, Feb. 2s.-The accomp-
lishments Of the present short session
Of congress. to adjourn March I. have
been almost nothing aside from the
agreements carried in the great appro-
priation bills. Many Of these bills
have not been adequately considered,
owing to lack of time. The only per-
Torrance Of Importance thus far is the
ratification by the senate OF the new
japanese treaty last week. The more
important matters still pending and
their probable disposition are as fol-
lows:
Direct Election Of Senators-Wnl
come up for vote in the senate today
ard will be defeated. owing to the
adoption by the senate Friday OF the
Sutherland amendment retaining in the
hands Of the federal authorities con-
troll over these elections.
Canadian Reciprocity-Has gone thru
the house. Its fate in the senate Is I'M
certain. but it is likely that the senate
will defeat 1t by refusing to permit roll
call.
Canal Fortincation-The house de-
clared In favor OF fertilization.
Tariff Board-The bill to expand its
duties will fail, but congress will vote
funds to continue its work along pres
ent lines.
Conservation-Nothin done.
Senator Lorimer-The senate may
not vote on the question OF unseating
him. His opponents are now in the MI
nority, and want the question carried
over to the next congress. when they
think they wifi have a majority.
Reapportionment-T house has
passed the bill providing for a house
membership Of 1873. This bill will be
passed by the senate before adjourn
ment.
Pensions-The senate IL still consid-
erinE the Sulloway pension bill. passed
by the house. What will be done is
uncertain. The president has threaten
ed to veto the Sulloway bill, n passed
because Of the large appropriations 1t
will make.
Ship subsidy-The bill has gone thru
the senate. but appears doomed to de-
feat In the house.
Postage 1ncrease-This item has
been offered by way OF amendment to
the posto1ice. appropriation bill in the
senate. and will provoke much debate.
Its passage 10 unlikely.
Injunctions-No legislation Will be
enacted at this session.

The Baggage-Smashing Season,

From the New York Times.
If Congress had not already on hand
so many Investigations of other matters,
dragnet for evidence OF a combinat ton be-
tween the trunk manufacturers and the
baggage smashers. The evidence might be
difficult to find. We are not sure that
such a combination exists. But when the
brand-new trunk Of May or June is trans
formed by October into a battered. un-
hinged. unserviceable box. it is clear that
the trunk makers must thrive. One may
cross the Atlantic and travel all over Eu-
rope year after year with a fairly good
trunk which will be practically as good as
new at the end of ones travels tf the
owner does not foolishly disfigure it with
hotel labels. But a single summer trip
to a New England coast resort or the
Adirondacks will serve to convert an ex-
penSive trunk into an unsightly object.
The baggage smasher knows nothing of
scientific efficiency. The trunk might be
taken from the wagon and deposited on
pier or platform, easily. in two motions by
two men. But one Of them lifts and hauls
it, with many superfiuous motions, and
precipitates it on the pier, while the other
takes hitch in his trousers belt or lights
his pipe. The trunk may fall four or five
feet If it lands on corner it may be
broken, but that does not disturb the
smasher's complacency. He likes best,
however, to have it fall bottom up with a
great noise. He enjoys the fall of pile
of trunks in hopeless confusion. He is a
child of nature, the baggage smasher,
who takes pleasure in struggle. And in
all his struggles he and the trunk resem-
BILE the toreador and the bull; neither the
trunk nor the bull has chance for it's
life
