FEW NEW LAWS PROBABLE Appropriation" Measures Will Take Up Much Time, RIVERS AND HARBORS SAFE Senate Will Probably Adjourn Mon; day Out of Respect to Hanna and Hoar, and President's Mes sage Will Go in Tuesday. WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec 2.-On the Btroke of 12, Monday, the second session of the 5Sth Congress will bo called to or der by President Pro Tern Frye In the Senate, and by Speaker Cannon In the House. "When the gavels of the-presiding officers summon the Senators and Repre sentatives to duty nearly every member will bo In his eeat, but only routine busi ness will bo transacted. The Prcsldent'sniessage generally is. re ceived and read the first day, but the Sen ate is punctilious in certain matters and Is almost sure to adjourn as a tribute of respect to the late Senator Hoar, of Mas sachusetts, and the late Senator Quay, of Pennsylvania. The message, therefore, probably will not be read until Tuesday. There Is Plenty to Do. After the opening day, when the mes sage of the President is read, the regular business of the session will begin and the legislative wheels will grind steadily un til March 4, 1905. There is plenty to do. The calendars of both Houses are loaded with bills of all kinds; hundreds of new bills will be Introduced and committees are ready to report enough to keep Con gress busy for 12 months, but in the three months Congress probably will do little moro than pass the regular annual appropriation bills. There has been some talk of a possible extra session. The only reason why such a session should be called Is because there is a demand in certain quarters for a re vision of the tariff, but many of the in coming Congressmen during the past two weeks have made it plain ' they do not want tariff revision and further that they do not want an extra session. There is one feature of the tariff revision talk that has some substance. More rev enue must be had, or there must be a cur tailment of expenditures. With the in creasing annual appropriations, a river and harbor bill, increase of the Navy, the Manama Canal and other features of ex traordinary disbursement, there will be -need, ofvjnore money than present customs ancUinternal revenues provide. An intima tion has been made that curtailment will satisfy many Congressional leaders, but the majority may determine otherwise, In which event some revenue legislation may be necessary, and an extra session for that purpose may be called. But this is said to be a remote contingency and the probabilities, according to the leaders who are here, are that there will be neither tariff legislation nor an extra session. Coupled with tariff legislation discussion is the subject-of reciprocity. A number of proposed reciprocity treaties have been and still are reposing in the pigeon holes of the Senate. During the coming three months there may be some talk about these treaties, but the indications are they "will not be seriously considered. So strong has been the opposition to them that it has never been considered worth while, to report them from the committee on foreign relations to which they were referred. Bills for Philippines. The unfinished business in the Senate is a bill passed by the House providing for the construction of railroads In the Philippine Islands by a guarantee of 5 per cent income upon the money Invested in such roads. The bill also provides for is suing Philippine "bonds for other' internal improvements in the islands, and in sev eral other particulars amends the Philip pine laws passed by Congress. The bill met with a great deal of opposition dur ing the last Congress, but Senator Lodge, who has it in charge, says that he will press it from the beginning of the session, and hopes to secure its passage. Another bill for the Philippines, which has bceri urged by Secretary Taft and the President, aa well as nearly every one interested in the Philippines, provides for a material reduction of the duty on sugar and tobacco as well as other Philippine products. -In fact, free entry of these products has been recommended. The BUgar and tobacco Interests were strong enough in tho past to defeat any substan tial reduction, and tho law provides for a duty of To per cent of tho Dlngley rates. A demand for a reduction to 25 per cent lias; been quite frequently presented to Congress. It is somewhat doubtful if a vote will be reached In the Senate in the case of Sen ator .Reed Smoot, of Utah. A score or more of witnesses are yet to be exam ined, and the defense has not even begun, so that it is evident that before a report is made to the Senate the session will bo so far spent that no serious attempt will be mado to reach a vote upon Senator Smoofs title. Tho last session passed a bill providing for a commission composed of Ave Sena tors and five Representatives to investi gate -and report a measure for restoring the merchant marine of the United States. The commission was instructed to report on the first day of the coming session, and.lt is expected that this will be done. Chinese Exclusion. Some doubt exists among the members of both houses as to whether additional Chinese exclusion legislation is necessary. It has been held that the law would ex pire this month, as It was founded upon a treaty which also expires. A new treaty Is being negotiated, and an exclusion law to meet Its terms may be necessary. The people of the Pacific Coast have been In sisting upon more rigid exclusion than that known as the Piatt law, and If the question is brought up there will be quite & long debate. Currency legislation will be talked about, but It probably will not be enact ed. A number of bills are pending "before committees, but no one has shown any particular desire to have them passed. Reduced representation in Southern States which have by one form or an other disfranchised negroes, will be a theme of discussion, but hot action, -during the "Winter. It is well understood that to bring about anything like a re duced representation would require much more time than a three months' session of congress which expires by limitation. The trusts will receive attention, at least in debate, although some doubt is expressed about any effective legislation being passed. Following a campaign in "which the trusts were made 9. vital issue, it is natural to expect that there must And Now For Your' Christmas Piano "We wish to call your attention to our stock of pianos, specially selected for the holiday trade.

ALLEN & GILBERT- RAMAKER CO. Cor. 6th and Jbe a great deal of talk on the subject whenever there is an opportunity. A bill which has agitated Congress for a number of years providing- for eight hours work only on all Government con tracts, no doubt will bereported from the Senate committee on labor, which has given much time to hearings. A bHl of similar character was lost In the last Congress by being crowded out by other business. Tho same fate may await this measure should it be reported from the committee. Senator Heyburn, of Idaho, has given notice that ho will call up the pure food bill' during the first week of the session and the friends of the measure hope to have it passed. But there is strong op position, which will take advantage -of the Senate rules to attempt to defeat the measure by delay. Senator Fairbanks, who .has only three months to serve as a Senator before he becomes Vice-President, and who as chairman of the committee on public buildings and grounds has endeavored to secure a "bill providing a building for the Departments of State, Justice and Com merce and Labor, will try to bring about favorable action on tho bill In the 90 days he is to remain a National legislator. There are other public building bills pending, but it is not expected any gen eral omnibus bill will be pushed at this session. Irrigation. Irrigation lias become a permanent leg islative topic Several measures Intend ed as amendments to the irrigation law have been suggested and are before Con gress. If the "Western men were united they no doubt could secure some legisla tion, but being divided. It Is quite likely that nothing will be done. Two years ago in the long session of Congress a river and harbor appropria tion bill was passed, but It was omitted In tho session, which ended last April. It Is the Intention to pass a bill at this session and the men having it in charge, remembering that four years ago Senator Carter, of Montana, talked a river and harbor bill to death, will make every ef fort to have it. presented early and gotten out of the way of another such con tingency. It is not yet known whether there will be any legislation relating to the Panama Canal, although it may be necessary when Secretary -Taft makes a report of his personal Investigation of conditions in the canal zone. Among other bills of public interest pending in the Senate or House are the following: Prorviding for the transpor tation of naval and other stores in Amer-Ican-bullt ships; for the protection of for est reserves and the creation of addi tional reserves; for the payment of $200, 000 to ex-Queen Llluokalanl; to amend the act for the suppression of lottery traffic subject to the laws of the state where it is sold. One day during tho momlng session will be devoted to counting the electoral vote cast for the President and Vice President. The ballots of Hectors of the different states are sent to tho President pro tempore of the Senato, and on the second "Wednesday In February the Sen ate, with the 45 ballot boxes, one from each state, will pijceed to the House, canvass the vote and declare the result. Two Senators are to take oath of office. Philander C. Knox, the successor of Sen ator Quay, from Pennsylvania, and "W. Murray, Crane, the successor of Senator Hoar, from -Massachusetts, both seats having been made vacant by death since tho last session. Two chairmanships of committees may be filled at the coming session. The Sen ate never filled the vacancy at tho head of the lnteroceanlc canals committee after the death of Senator Hanna, and Senator Hoar's death leaves a vacancy at the head of the important committee on the judiciary. In all prorbablllty Senator Piatt, of Connecticut, will be the acting chairman of judiciary, as Senator Piatt, of New York, has been the acting chair man of the canal committee. ' TO KEEP WIFE ER0K TALKING Chicago Man, to Defend His Own Name, Applies for an Injunction. CHICAGO, Dec. 2. Injunction to prevent hla wife from talking was asked today In tho Circuit Court by" Thomas P. "Wood, who is a carpenter. In defending his own name from alleged scandal, "Wood declares he is also acting for tho good of Mrs. Margaret "Watson. He fears, he- says, that his wife will tell things about him to the members of secret societies to which they belong. He also seeks to stop all utterances of his wife In Newton ville, O. In her "overheated imagination," "Wood declares, his wife has conjured certain visionary and absurd scandals. The com plainant parted from his wife four years ago, when he says she became possessed of "certain' religious delusions and theo logical vagaries." In a letter submitted to the court Mrs. "Wood threatens her hus band with exposure unless he complies with, certain demands as to changing his place of residence. Man Who Executed Robbery Dies. LEAVENWORTH, Kan., Dec 2. Fred "Whittrock, who In 1887 took part in the sensational train robbery in Missouri, Is dead here at the home of his mother, of grip, aged 44 years. "Whittrock, whoso family Is highly re spected, has been in business here sev eral years. "Whittrock planned and executed a robbery south of St. Louis on the Iron Mountain road in the "Winter of 1887.' He boarded the express car with a bo gus order, stating that he was to be assistant messenger, bound and gagged Messenger Frothlngham, robbed the safe of $124,000. Whittrock hid most of the money. Frothlngham was ar rested, charged with, the robbery; when Whittrock wrote a letter to the de tectives, stating that they had the wrong man. He signed the letter "Jim Cummings," and was arrested as Cummings. Bodies ef Sailors Washed Ashore. TILLAMOOK, Or.. Dec 2. (Special.)

HOTLY PURSUING JAPANESE Many Passes Have Been Captured Enemy Falls to. Show Its Old Time Form, Owing Probably to the Cold Weather. ST. PETERSBURG, Dec 3, 3 A. M. The situation of the armies below Mukden Is again attracting- attention, but the movements in progress are very puzzling. The War Office is inclined to reticence. Reports the last few days indicate that General Rennenkampff Is hotly following up the Japanese retreat, meeting with comparatively little resistance; but some fear is expressed that he may be running Into a Japanese trap formed with tho hope of cutting off his command. It is believed he cannot possibly hold a posi tion aa far south as tho Taitz River. General Rennenkampff has hotly pur sued a Japanese detachment below Sint alntln as far as the Taltz River and on the right Russian scouts have explored the Hun River below Liao Tang. All the passes fell Into RennenkampfTs hands. The Japanese apparently failed to show their old-time form, and official as well as unofficial dispatches indicate that the edge has been taken off the Japanese fighting capabilities by tho cold weather. The same reports say the Japanese threw away their "rifles, many of which were captured. Other reports say Japanese of ficers shot five soldiers who refused to faco tho foe. There was a heavy bombardment today along tho Rusalan center and right, which might indicate that General Kuropatkln Is preparing to assume the offensive. It is the general opinion in military cir cles that the present situation cannot con tinue much longer, but It Is argued that a frontal attack against fortified positions along the Shakhc River is bound to be dis astrous to whichever side attempts it. Any serious .advance, to be successful. It is believed at tho War Office must be accomplished by a wide strategic turning movement, as the armies are too close for tactical flanking operations. Among some of tho best-Informed offi cers a suspicion exists that Field Marshal Oyama is trying to work Kurokl around cast of Sintslntln, with, a view to striking tho Russians" above Tie Pass, with the object of again trying a decisive coup, but no positive evidence of such a move has yet appeared. Heavy Cannonading Heard. MUKDEN, Dec 2. From 2:30 o'clock this afternoon until late tonight sounds of a rapid cannonade have been heard on tho Russian southwest front, such as has not been experienced for a long time, but no excitement has been caused by the in crease in noise. General Rennenkampff, with bJs cav alry. Is following the retreating Japanese, giving them no time to occupy. a posi tion. It seems that the Japanese, In at tempting to seize Russian positions' so ex tended themselves as to deplete their re serves. Turning Russian Flank. ST. PETERSBURG. Dec 3 (8 A. M.) A special dispatch received here from Mukden, says: "It is rumored that General Rennen kampff has captured several Japanese guns and a convoy with 600 rifles, but that a force of 40.00Q consisting of Chi nese bandits and a reserve of S900 Japan ese, has started to turn his flank." RUSSIAN MOVE A SLY ONE. Boat Bought in Britain Taken Away to Show Japan Could Do Likewise. LONDON, Dec 3. Yarrow & Co., ship builders, in a letter to the Times, explain that, owing to the great success of the high-speed yacht Tarantula, now owned by W. K. Vanderbllt, Jr., they partly com pleted two similar boats which might be fitted finally as either torpedo-boats or yachts. They declined many tempting of fers to sell them as torpedo-boats, because it was suspsctcd they would be trans ferred to a belligerent. At the govern ment's request, In August they stopped negotiations for the sale of one of the vessels to a Paris Arm, but eold the Caro line as a yacht on September 23 to Mr. Slnnett believing that hi purchase was a bona fide one. As a precaution, however, the government was advised on September 24 and the salo was completed on October 3, the government not having Interfered or commented on the sale, and the Caroline sailed on October 6 without any arma ment, ostensibly for Hamburg, and to be towed thence to New York. The negotiations for the purchase of the Caroline arc said to have been conducted by Burke Roche, an ex-member of ythe British Parliament, and well known in the United States, who represented that he was acting for a resident of New York, who wished to race her against the Tarantula. In order that the identity of the boat might not be evident, he stipu lated that the hull should be disguised as much as possible until she could be land ed In New York. After leaving the ship yards the Caroline was coaled and manned with a crew secretly assembled, after which she was taken through the North Sea. passed through the Kiel Ca nal under the direction of German pilots, and thence reached Libau, where she was delivered to the Russian naval authorities. It is asserted that Russia Intended to base her defense of the Dogger Bank affair on Roche's exploit, contending If he could take a torpedo-boat out.of an English port Another Wonderful Hat Sale Today at A bit of good news outlined above which will be greeted with pleasure by the women who came too late to share in yesterday's bargains.

RUSSIANS HOPE TO "ESCAPE. Seamen at Shanghai Would Pilot th Ships Over Mine Fieldq. LONDON. Dec. 3. According to the Shanghai correspondent of the Daily TelegTaph, it is stated in that city that the officers and crew of the Russian tor pedoboat Rostpropny hope to escape from Shanghai in Ume to reach one of the ves sels of the Baltic squadron In order to pilot the fleet through the mine field In the harbor of Port Arthur. The general opinion prevails that If these Russian officers and men make good their escape, Japan will raise a protest of such force and vehemence that ".China will be placed In an extremely awkward position. In view of recent complaints of the Japanese that China 1? extending such extraordi nary privileges in Cbefoo that they can no longer consider that place as neutral ground.

The following was giv en out at the imperial headquarters this afternoon: "The commander of the Japanese forces at Hslen Chuang reports that on Novem ber 23 a detachment of our force attecked the enemy's position at Suchialoutzu and dislodged him, but discovering a large column of the enemy advancing from the rear our forces stopped and occupied Ma chlacheng and its vicinities.
