BOTH HOUSES ADJOURN. A Few Bills Offered in the Senate, but Business Other than the Announcement of the Committees ‘Transacted in the House. SENATE. If the roll of the Senate had been called at the closing of the morning prayer only twenty- four Senators would have responded. And thoue were divided pretty equally between the two sides of the chumber. In the absence of the Vice President Mr. Manderson occupied the chair. He presented 8 communication from the municipal convolida- tion and inquiry committee of New York in opposition to the Senate bill (introduced by ir. Hiscock) to authorize and regulate the construction of bridges across the Hudson and East rivers at the city of New York. GEORGIA'S APPEAL Mr. Cockrell presented three memorials, all | E of them, he said, on printed blanks sent out by the representatives of Savannah, Ga., entitled “Georgia's appeal to her sister states.” These blanks had been filled in, he said, by the board of trade of St. Joseph, Mo., by the mayor and aldermen of that’ city the Commercial Club of Kansas City. They were un indorsement of _ the movement (which svemed to be quite extensive from the number of blanks sent out) in Georgia for securing congressional legislation for deep water. Among the bills introduced and referred were the following: By Mr. Sherman—To amend the Nicaragua shi m canal act. Mr. Frye—Authorizing the porchene ot Herbert H. Bancroft’s library concerning the western half of America. To protect the wages of seamen. To amend the laws defining registered ton- nage, to provide for the supervision of vessel measurement and to insure accuracy in the computation of rea To amend the law relative to the shipment, Paymeut and discharge of seamen. ‘o regulate the changing of the names of vessels. ‘To increase the safety of life and ships and at sea by establishing Talos for “tree oard. “In reference to the latter bill Mr. Frye enid that it was a very important one and he hoped that boards of trade, maritime associations, ship owners and ship builders would send to the committee on commerce any criticism which they might have to make concerning it. By Mr. Harris (by request)—Authorizing the Postmaster General to adopt devices for can- celing postage stamps to prevent peculation and fraud. By Mr. Gibson (La.)—Making an appropri- ation Tor improving the berlor of Rew Or. leans. By Mr. Proctor—Amending the law viding for the attendance of witnesses courts-martial. (By request)—Amending the act of October | J. 1, 1890, for the examination of certain officers of the army and toregulate promotion therein. By Mr. Hansbrough—To extend the free pos- tal delivery system. THE PRACTICE OF MEDICINE IN THE DISTRICT. By Mr. McMillan—To regulate the practice of medicine in the District of Columbia. Mr. Dubois offered a resolution (which was agreed to) calling on the Agricultural Depart- meut for information as to the artesian well system. Two messages from the President of the | J. United States were presented, read and ap- propriately referred—one as to the arrange- ment and operation of electric wires in th District of Columbia and the other as to aw form usage by all the departments of the go ernment in the spelling of geographical names. After a short executive session the Senate at 12:40 adjourned till Tuesday, January 5. HOUSE. The democratic sections of the House were this morning early filled with members, upon whose faces there was a look of anxious expect- ancy and curiosity. Little groups gathered here and there discussing the probabilities and possibilities of the committee composition. Although a great deal of credence laced in the predictions heretofore made y the press, there was a general feeling of uncertainty, which could be di only by the official announcement of the Speaker. That gentlemar. was late in ar- riving at the Capitol, being evidently desirous of escaping from the pressure for favorable assignments which would be brought upon him even in the eleventh hour. Every- where there was an air of anxiety, except among the republican members, who gazed complacently around, and now and then bantered some democratic col ho, ac- | J. cording to rumor, would not be a favorite of fortune. ‘The general curiosity exhibited upon the floor soon spread to the spectators in the galleries, and speculating among was almost as animated as among those more per- sonally interested. When precisely at noon the Speaker called the House to order he was very much wearied by the arduous he had just completed. REMEMBERING SENATOR PLUMB. In his prayer the chaplain eloquently referred to the death of Senator Plumb of Kansas.

Arcmisos, Kax., Dec. 23.—In a conversation with «correspondent on the death of Senator Plumb ex-Senator Ingalls said. “Plomb'+ place cannot be filled. The state is not wanting in men of genius, capace ity and learning, who can add luster to ite fame, but the knowledge and skill, the familiarity with methods of legislation obtain- able with long practice and experience, the ecquaintance of public men, 80 essential to Statecraft, these are not endowments, but ac- qQuisitions. The Senator who succeeds Plumb must begin where he began fourteen years ago, leaving the state meanwhile without prestige or station till they have been earned again. The governor must fill the va- cancy by appointment till the next mecting of Jegisinture elected in 1892, which will choose @ successor for the fraction of the term from 1893 to 1895. ‘This precipitates a political con Vulsion in the state of loug duration aud whose Tesult cannot be foretold. ‘The campaign for the legislature will begin atonce. The people's party Will endeavor to secure auother representative mn the Senate, and they may have the assist ance of the democrats again as they had a year ago in their effort to reduce the republican majority in that body. ‘he republicans bave the advantage of the pendency of a promdental election, which will tend to allay discord and bring the old and young crowds together.” —— THE au A's MEN, Departure Frow Southampton of the Officers and Crew.
