The bill only comes up on each day after the disposal of the morning busi- ness. and it will surrender this place tem- porarily on Thursday to permit of the cor- emonies in ctunmcmoration of Webster and Stark by the unveiling of the statues which have been placed in the capitol. There is also a probability that the com- mittce on appropriations may ask consid- eration for the urgent deficiency bill to- ward the last of the week. It is under- stood that Senator Cockrell, chairman of this committee, will put stress upon the importance of getting this bill through before the holidays. and that he will ask the committee to 1m upon it today or to- morrow. There is little probability, how- ever, that any of the other appropriation bills will receive the attention of the sen- ate during the week. ' The disposition among senators is favor- able to an adjournment on Thursday un- til after the Christmas holidays, but it is probable that the house will not consent to this arrangement and that the ad- journmcnt will be delayed until Saturday. The programme, therefore, with reference to the holiday adjournment, so far as one has bean arranged, is to adjourn on Satur- day, the 22d inst, until Thursday, Jan. 8. Some senators predict that the final .vote on the Nicaragua bill will he reached _ this week. but the friends of the bill scarce iy hope for this result. They realize that the precedents of the senate are all against action so speedy on a measure of such im- portance and presenting so many points for debate and [set speeches, and they are also prepared to encounter opposition which has not yet taken definite shape. , Senator Caffery’s Oldeetiesa. Senator Gallery's objection to an agree- ment for a vote on the bill on Wednesday next is understood to have been made upon constitutional grounds, and it is quite probable that he, with several other senators, including Teller, Vest.

This week promises to he an exciting one in the house The banking and our- rency committee has arranged to bring forward the Carlislc banking bill and will today prefer a request to the committee on rules for a special order which will set aside the remainder of the woelr. begin‘ ning on Tuesday. for debate on the Car- llslc bill, with provision for a final vote on Friday next. The banking committee dc- sircs to prolong the masslcns so as to begin at ii a m. and coutinuc_until 10:80 at night, with a mess from 5 until 8 p. in ’The terms of the special order will be silly mitted to the committee on rules today. There is considerable opposition among the Democrats of the house to the short limit it is proposed to set upon the debate. Many of them feel that c "unsure involv- ing such gigantic interests. contemplating as it does a revolution in the entire banks ing system of the country, should not be crowded through in haste. This feeling is shared by sortie of the most prominent Democratic lenders of the house, and it seems a large possibility that the banking and currencv committee will be overruled, ahd the spec ial order will give this week to dolmio, with provision for a filial vote after the holiday recess. Today the house will take up and dia- posc of the army appropriation bill. ., The adjournment for the holiday nieces will probably occur on Saturday.

Wasnmorroa, Dec. l'l.—ln view of the disinclinatlan of congress to take up the sugar schedules of the tariff act, and the consequent improbability of any action, as was recommended by the president. look- ing to the repeal of the duty of one-tenth of one cent on sugar produced under the bounty system, the future action of the German government is being awaited with some apprehension in this country. The speech of the German chancellor in the reichstag. in which he made a strong point of the discrimination imposed by the United States toward German sag» ar, is believed to indicate a strengthening of the policy which the government has adopted directed to the exclusion or severe restriction upon American products sought to be imported into Germany. At present Mr. Runyon, our minister to Germany, is working hard to secure an amelioration of the rigid order of exclusion in the case of American rattle. and Score- tary Gresham is in almost daily consult» tion with the (lemma minister hem upon the same subject. as well as open that of cottonseed oil. which has just suffered a scrercblow from the increase of the 1m port tax to 900 per cent, practically exclu- sive.

Hen- dricks, one of the employees of the bank, in the regularroutlne of business. The check was lost. and Cromwell and Bay- den came on to investigate. Messrs. Cromwell and Hayden arrived in the city last Friday and took rooms at the Grand hotel. They examined each of the bank employees through whose hands the missing cheek had been passed, and among the rest Huntington. They claim- ed tc have discovered that he had been spending more money than the salary of tit a month which he was receiving Would warrant, and on this, together with the fact that the check had been last seen in his bands, they based their suspicions. Huntington and the representatives of the Fidelity company met Saturday night and made arrangements for another meeting at the bank .Sunday morning, when the investigation was to be resumed. At the hour appointed they were there, and‘Crcmo well and Hayden commenced to put the young man through arunnlng cross flrcoi questions. President J. D. Edmundson and Cashier C. R.

The revolver he used was a 42 caliber that belonged to the bank and had been kept in the desk of G. F. Spanner, the pay- ing teller. The first three shots were fired at Cromwull, who had taken the lead in the interrogation, and all three took effect. The fourth struck Hayden, and than Hunt- ington raised the weapon to his own head and fired. He fell to the door unconscious and mnmined so until his death. The two wounded men ran out. of the bank down First avenue and to the Grand hotel, blood dripping from them at every step Neither was dangerously wounded. MORTON’S INAUGURATION.

Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson war born in Edinburgh on Nov. 13, 1860. He was educated at private schools and at the University of Edinburgh andvvas called to the Scottish bar, but traveled and de- voted himself to literature. One of his earliest works was an account of his trav- els in i allfornia, but tbo work which es- tablished his reputation as a writer oi fiction was“’1‘rcasure Island,” published in 1883. Among themost popular of his workr is “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," which war dramatized and played at the Lyceum the- ater In London in 1858 and subsequently in the United States Among his other works are "Kidnap ed.” “The New Arabian Nights” and “The Black Arrow." Some time ago Mr. Stevenson, who war suflering from lung trouble, went to thr South Pacific for his health. He became cur-apturod with the Samoan islands and . decided to take up his residence and spend the rest of his days there. He took a clear MRS.
