LITTLE BUSINESS THIS WEEK I To-morrow's Session in Both Houses Will be Devoted to the Reading of the President's Message Senators May nave a Contest for Officers. Washington, Doc 2. Tho first wook of tho Fifty-fourth congress, which convuncil at noon today, promises nothing ntolthor end of tho Capitol In tho way of actual leg. lslntlou. Tho tlmoboforo tho Christmas hol idays Is usually devoted to preliminary matters,ahd tho work-of tho session doos not begin until nftor tho rocoss. Tho now congress will probably not bo anoxooptlon to tills rulo. Mr. Korr, clork of tho last houso, called tho liojiso to order. Aftor tho roll call enmotho olcctlon of tho ollloors nominated by tho Republican caucus on Saturday Mght. They aro: Speaker, Thomas H. Hoed of Malno; clork, Alexander Mc Dowell of Pennsylvania; sorgenut-ut-hrms, Benjamin V. Russell of Missouri; doorkeeper, W. J. Glonu of Now York; postmaster, J. C. McKlroy of Ohio; chap lain, Rov. II. N. Condon of Michigan. Tho ofllcors of tho Republican houso caucus, who will servo during tho sosslou, nro: Chairman, David B. Hoiulorsou of Iowa; secretary, Warren B. Hooker of New York, As soon as Mr. Rood was formally in stalled as speaker tho drawing of scats, which Is known as tho concrosslonnl "rafllo," was boguu. This Is n, somowhat tedious but amusing affair, and will oo- cupy tho romaindcr of tho afternoon. Tho reading of tho prosidout's lnossngo will consume tomorrow, and nt its conclusion tho houso will probably adjourn until Thursday, and on convening Thursday adjourn immediately until Monday. Thoso adjournments will coutluuo probably un til tho commlttoos nro announced. Tills is tho program, but tho unexpected might occur, as it so of teu does in tho houso, If somo aspiring member should lntroduco a sensational resolution and ask for its im mediate consideration. Spoaker Reed says that tho commltteos will not bo announced this week, with, perhaps, a single oxcoptlon tho commit too on rulos. This commlttco formulates tho rulos which aro to govern tho houso during Its sessions, and It is customary for tho speaker to name It during tho first week In order that it can immediately bo gin Its labors. Whilo it is bollevod that tho rules of tho Fifty-first congress, over which Mr. Roed prosldod, will bo reportod for tho guidance of tho present houso, It is Understood that a few changes will bo rnado, as a rosult of experience, which nro doslgncd to still furtherlmprovotho houso machtnory and tho facilitation of publto business. Reprosontatlvo Lawronco McGann, of Chicago, who hold a seat in tho Fif ty-socond and Fifty-third cougrossos and was chair man of tho commlttco on labor in tho last congress, will furnish to tho house tho un nsuul Bpectaclo of a member making a vol untary relinquishment of tho scat to which ho holds n certificate. Aa soon ns ho is ablo to securo recognition from tho spoakorMr. McGann will make a statomont to tho houso ta tho effect that ho thinks his Re publican opponent, Mr. If ugh R. Belknap, is ontitlcd to tho seat, and that ho (Mc Gann) walvos all claims thereto. Tills step will make It possiblo for tho commit tee on elections, as soou as It is organized, to report in favor of soatlug Mr. Belknap, nnd will reliovo that goutlouuiu of tho necosslty of making a contest boforo tho committee Mr. Belkuap is u son of Hon. W. V. Belkuap, who was secretary of war under President Grant. It is not probable that tho first week of congress will not witness much serious effort nt logislativo work in tho senate. If anything should bo accomplished boyond tho recolpt of tho president's message and ol tlio recess nominations and tho Intro duction of bills tho session would be an exception In tho history of tho senate. Tho proceedings of today consisted In tho swoaring in of tho newly elected mem bers who were present, uud tho appoint ment of a commlttco to wult upon tho president. Tomorrow tho senators will listen to tho rending of tho president's message, and tho brief sessions of Wednes day and Thursday will b uevotod largely to tho Introduction of bills, of which there will bo several hundred. Following precedents, tho senate will adjourn on Thursday until tho following Monday. Ono or two brief oxecutlvo ses sions for tho reference of nominations aro also among tho probabilities for tho wook. If tho sounto Republicans, ut thoir cau cus this afternoon, decldo upon an effort to reorganize, as is now gonorally oon coded, tho Democrats will follow with a conference tomorrow or Wednesday, at which thoy probably will decldo upon courso of aotlou. It now appears probable that all three parties will placo cnndldutos for president pro tomporo in tho Hold, and In that ovont tho wook will bo enlivened somewhat by a triangular contest for this and the officers of tiro senate.

Pay Day Orgies Resulted In a Number of Bloody Encounters, But Nobody Was Dangerously Injured Ten Cases Before Justice Toomey. Somo of tho 1'lrst ward Polish and Lithuan ian rosidonts re-established tho claim of that quarter of tho town to tho title of "Bloody" Saturday night, and in consequonco of their pay day orgies tho docket nnd oxchoquor of Justice Toomey wero put inn healthy steto.

Police man Hand and Constable Giblon heard the reports and chased tho fleeing form of a man down the railroad. At Cherry street they caught Gorman, with tho revolver still in his hand.
