Congress May Make Changes in Se* eral Important Laws. Washington, Nov. 27.— The indica­ tions are that the short session of con- grass that opens December 3 and ex­ pires by limitation March 4 next, w ill not go down in history because of any particular achievement. It w ill be a busy session; nil short sessions are, for thret* months is none t«xi much time ill which to perfect and pass the ragular appropriation bills. Aside from tiiis legisltaion, lit tleof'iiut tonal importance is likely to result. Following out recommendations made by tiie president in his annual message, tiie house may frame, and possibly piss, some sort of hill lim iting inherit­ ances; some bill proposing changes in the rate law, the pure food law and the anti-trust law may lie propoHcdaud dis­ cussed! lint nothing of this character is likely to get through the senute. Nor is there the sliglit«*st |x>ssihility of the passage or even report of a tariff bill. These problems are of tixi great im­ portance to he disposed of in a short M'ssiou, but n limited discussion may serve to bring the various ¡topics fairly before the country, and may result in legislation at the long session of the next congress. This was thejeourse fol­ lowed in the case of the railroad rate bill, and it proved to lie a wise move on the part of the house lenders. BUT POSTAL STST Syndicate Oifers to Corne to of Uncle sam.
