Tempore at Caucus.
RY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, December 10.-Both
branches of congress moved slowly
during the opening week of the short
session, while legislation was being
whipped into shape, but they will get
down to actual work this week.
The senate program is dependent
on the meeting of the democratic
steering committee tomorrow and
while the interstate commerce COM
mittee is celebrating on plans to ex-
pedite the presidents railroad legis-
lation program, the District of
Columbia prohibition bill, immigra-
ton bill and corrupt practices bill are
ready for immediate consideration.
The passage of the last two by the
senate is regarded as probable be-
fore the March adjournment.
Friends of Senator Salisbury of
Delaware say he has enough votes to
make him president pro tempore of
the senate when senate democrats
hold caucus Wednesday.
The house for the present has
shelved the proposed railway and

probably will take up this week Pres
