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.

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.
