Washington, Deo. 6. The curtain rane up at noon today upon the closing KesHlnn of the Fifty-fifth congress. The and the fruits of the American victory carry In their wake many prob lems which thfl national legislature must solve. But though many ciues Hons may prpss for solution, the brief space covered by this session, which expires by limitation March 4, pre cludes the possibility of much being; accomplished beyond the passage of the regular money budgetB, the legislation for the Increase of the regular army. which the administration deems ncces sary to meet the obligations Imposed upon the government by the result of the war, nnd probably the enactment of a law to give a permanent territorial government to the Hawaiian Islands. This covers all the Important legisla tion which tho congressional leaders expect to see enacted at this session. It is almost the unanimous sentiment of the leaders that no attempt should be made to legislate concerning the possessions acquired by the war with Spain at this session. There are earnest advocates of the Nicaraguan canal bill who will strive to secure Its passage now, and they may possibly be successful, but neither It nor any one of the other measures, like the pooling bill, anti-scalpers' bill, etc., which have strong friends, will be allowed to Interfere with the bills the passage of which Is deemed absolutely necessary. The leaders at both ends of the Capitol havo put their heads to gether, and tho work of the Besslon Is to be entered upon with the Idea of avoldlne an extra session. With this purpose In view, the appropriation bills are to be given the road at both ends of the Capitol and pressed through with all possible haste. Two sub-committees of the appro priations committee of the house have been at work for a week, lhe ue flciency bill to meet the extraordinary expense of the army and navy during the six months from Jan. 1, 1898, to July 1, Is ready to submit to the full com mittee today, nnd the regular District of Columbia appropriation bill will be ready by the end of the week. It is necessary that the former should be come a law before the holiday recess, which this year is to be shorter than usual, and Chairman Cannon hopes to see It through the house and Into the senate before the end of the present week. The Democrats of tho house have not disclosed their position, but It Is not believed they will seek to obstruct an appropriation bill necessary for the maintenance of the army now in the field. Should there be a disposition to open up and prolong a debate upon the conduct of the war upon this bill It Is safe to assume that the committee on ruleB will be invoked to bring In an order to close debate. Intense Interest Is manifested In the president's message, which was sub mitted to congress today, on account of the great Importance of the many questions with which It deals, and no presidential message In years, it is safe to say, has been listened to with the eagerness and Interest with which the reading of President McKlnley's message was heard today. Tho first thing In order after Speaker Heed called the house to order today was a call of the roll to determine the presence of a quorum. A quorum hav ing been developed, committees were appointed to wait upon the president and the senate to Inform them that the house Is ready to proceed to business. Pending the arrival of the president's message several new members elected to fill vacancies caused by deaths or resignations were sworn In, and Im mediately after the reading of the mes sage was completed the house adjourn ed out of respect to the memory of Messrs. Love of Mississippi and North way of Ohio, who died during the re cess. Tomorrow, or Wednesday at the latest, the house will plunge Into Its work. Chairman Cannon will have the deficiency 1)111 ready, and It will occupy the attention of the house to the ex elusion of everything else for the re malnder of the week. Senators express a determination to take up the work of the session vigor ously In the beginning, with the hope of having It well advanced before the holidays, and they are counting upon taking up the appropriation bills at a very early date, for the purpose of pre venting an extra session due to any failure of part of the national budget, It Is expected that the army deficiency blTl will reach the senate during the present week, the understanding at the north end of tho Capitol being that the house will dispose of it within a very few days after assembling. Tho com mlttee on appropriations will bring It in early for the double purpose of hav Ing It passed quickly and of testing the feeling of senators on questions con nected with the war. The first day'i. session was given up almost entirely to the presidents messagu. -Alter the reading of the message the senate ad Journed until tomorrow. It is Impossible to say wnat mat ters will follow the disposal or me messnge, nut It is pronauie inai some speeches may be delivered upon the policy Indicated by the message, anu also that the calendar may be taken up. There are many measures which havo been reported, and there will be no dllllculty to find employment If the senate Is disposed to settle to routine so early in the session. During the closing days of the last session Senutor Morgnti gave notice of his Intention to call up the Nica ragua canal bill at the beginning of the present session. He unquestionably will redeem this promise, and would doubtless seek tho llrst opportunity but for the possibility of change of sen timent In favor of having the govern ment undertake the entire responsibil ity of building the canal. All the In dications aie that this question will be one of the most prominent subjects under consideration during the session. DESPERATE Conduct a Safe BOUND AND GAGGED THREE MEN.

ROYAL BAKING POWDER Absolutely Pur? , A triad from puro grip cma ol Uruf The Town Was I.clt In Darkness Last Night. Tbo snow, hall and wind storm of yester day was a most sovoro ono and it is surpris ing that great damage was not done, cs pocially last night, when the gales swept over the town with a fury that threatened to sweep everything hoforo it. A recapitula tion to-day, however, showed that compara tively little damage resulted. The borough presented a weird aspect last night and few pooplo vontured upon tho streets. Snow, ico and slush covered the pavements to a depth of several inches, tho sleet swept by tho gales fell with cutting force, and not a street light burned. So many of tho Citizens' Kloctrio Light Com pany's wires wore blown down during the lay and early ovening the entire system was put out of service. Workmen were busy to day fathering up tho lines aud getting tho lights In condition for to-night. Ono of tho stacks at the gas house was blown down last night. It was replaced to day. Two women who arrived at the Pennsyl vania depot at six o'clock last evening had an experience. Tho depot Is in a very much exposed placo and the gales sweep around that quarter furiously. A handsome, and ex pensive hat worn by one ot the women was torn from her head aud, when last seen, was sailing high in tho air, in tho direction of Turkoy Eun. The other woman gained en trance to tbo waiting room without loss. She loft her hat aud wrap at the station and went homo clothed In an overcoat and hat loaned hy one of tho employes at the station. A gentleman who arrived at the depot at tho same time lost a valuable gold ring by stumbling and falling while fighting the olomcuts in making his way along the plat form. Tho "Pennsy" waiting shed at Gllborton was carried several feet from its location yes terday and tumbled ovor. Conductor Mar shal lost his hat in leaning out from tho plat form to sco what had become of the shed. Sovoral planks were blown from tho tip of the Shenandoah City colliery breaker during the gales lust night, The Bon Ton store, on North Main street, met with considerable loss to-day, A bIiow case standing at the curb in front of the store was blown o(T hy a gale. Tho case was wrecked and tho millinery scattered over tho street. Safe blowers paid a visit to the store of J. C. Bright & Co. at Lost Creek and handled a job in genuine professional stylo, but failed to socuro sufficient booty for the risk they ndertook. The proprietors of the storo claim to have sustained practically no loss, asido from tho damage done to the safo. At 0:15 o'clock last night the watchman in tho store, B. It. Jones, heard raps upon the front door. Supposing tho bookkeeper em ployed at tho place desired admittance, tho watchman went to the door. As soon as ho unlatched tho door threo or four men forced their way in, seized tho watchman aud ran him backwards against a radiator. Thero the robbers bound and blindfolded him. Not content with this, howevor, they sandbagged tho unfortunate man and left him unconscious upon tlio floor. Simultaneously with tho events transpirin; in the storo others of the gang wero oporat iug outside. There were six or seven men in tlio sang. Two young men happonod to pass tho store. One is named Whalen and tho other Carliu. Tho former lives at Lost Creek and the latter at Rappahannock. One of tho robbors halted them and aimed : volvor at them. Whalen took the matter as joko and shouted, "Put that down. We know you." At the same instant he was felled to tho ground by a blow on the head from a sandbag aud rendered unconscious. Carlin was also seized, but was not struck Both young men were then carried into the store, bound aud gagged, and left upon tho floor besido tho watebmau. Tho road was now clear for tho burglars to pursue their plans, and they proceeded with out delay. They first broko the handle of the safe, then drilled a hole close to the com bination, inserted a small pipe, injected tho explosiou and then boom ! But tho chargo failed to do tho work expected and the burglars took another tack. Aftoi removing the rivets from tho bottom of tho safe they put a charge in tho opening. This time the explosion was effective and the contents of the safo wero reached. The burglars found a small amount of money In a tin box, a num ber of checks and some cheap watches. They left the checks behind. In leaving the place the burglars carried away a sixtecn-shot Colt riile. No arrests havo been made, and the de scriptions given of the burglars are so meager that some difficulty will bo experienced in tracing them. Although the proprietors of tho storo deny that tho burglars socured much money, it was learned from a reliable source this after noon that they carried away about $700 in cash. Some of the Cases Heard by them and Disponed of. Peter Sucklewicz was put under $300 lull Saturday night hy Justlco Shoemaker, on oath of Moses Fraczyuskl, who said Petar assaulted him whou he went into a house to collect a hill.
