The programme for the week in the Senate
sill depend upon the result of the meeting
[( h e committee on finance, called for
Tuesday morning. If it is then decided to
2. up the committee's reyenue measure
!t. Senate's eubautute for the Mill’s tarifi
Sit oending at the close of the last sission,
fi consideration will preclude the possibility
,| any other bill coming to the front until it
“ inftheVxpreu desire of Senators Morrill
■ Hi,on and Sherman to push the measure to

hill will be taken up. If, by any possibility,
L revenue bill should not come up, the
probabilities o[ the course of legislation are
™Th“ T |'iU» e ' most likely to receive prompt
attention with least opposition are those for
ihe sdmiesion of* North Dakota, Montana
and Washington Territory into the union.
The special order for Tuesday at 2 u dock
U the Union Pacific funding bill, popularly
wcalled. Uy a strange coincidence the
Untipccial order of the second session of
the fortv-ninth congress was a bill on the
ume subject.
IN TUB UOUSB,
There is a possibility that nftor the read,
tor of the messsge in the House there will
be an effort male to secure the use age of
the Nicaragua canal over the Oklahoma
bill under suspension of the rules. The
possibility, however, is very slight.
Tuesday and Wednesday wilt probably be
devoted to the consideration of bills on the
calendar in what ia called the ‘‘morning
boon,” the privilege of calling up bills
resting with the committee on Indian aOairs,
an 1 the pending measure being that for the
settlement of the claims of the Old Settler
band of Indians.
Thursday ia the day fixed by the demo,
cratic caucus resolution for consideration of
the direct tax bill, but it is still a matter of
inrulisc whether or net the emeus pro-
E rim me will lie adhered to. At a caucus
eld on the night ot April 11, the memorable
deadlock which had held the House in
continuous session from April 5, was broken
bribe adoption of the following resolution:
‘ Resolved, That on reassembliug tomorrow
the House shill adjourn with the under
standing that the committee on rules will re 1
port a special order setting apart Thursday,
Dee. fl, 18S.S, immediate y after the reading
of the journal, for const deration of Senate
bill No. 139, to provide for the refunding of
the direct tax levied iu 1881, in which order
reasonable lime, not to exceed three days,
via: Thursday, Saturday and Tuesday, shall
be allowed for debate and amendment, and
the time, for the vote on its fins! pat
shall be fixed at 4 o'clock on Tuesday."
THE UNDERSTANDING.
There were 125 members present at the
tanena, and the reeolntion was adopted with'
out a dissenting vote, after the declaration
by Ur. Holman of Indiana, that it ws> un
precedented in the history of the Demo-
cratic party that one-fifth ot its members
•hould control t:e whole, and thf statement
by Mr. Oates of Alabama, who had been
foremost in opposition to consideration ot
Iht m asuie, thnt while, if he followed bis
own views, he would consent to no proposi
tion that did not involve the absolute defeat
of the bill, he wae too good a democrat not
so abide liy the ilefcree of the party caucus.
The effect of the caucus action was the
adjournment of the Uonee on the following
day, with the understanding, implied by the
caucus resolution, but not esprcised by uny
action of the House, that the direct tax bill
•hon'd be u *r eci.il order for Thursday next.
it is generally understood that the pro-
gracame will be carried out, although there
has been no meeting of the committee on
rulei to formulate the order. The oppo
nent! of the bill, without any formulation,
have practically decided that it would be
bad faith for them to resort to dilatory tac*
ties should the order he reported by the
committee, or the bill be called up by a
democratic member, but reserve their light
to take any action they see fit in cut repub.
lican members call it up. Should the order
he made, Saturday will be consumed lu de*
hate and Friday will be devoted to consid-
•ration of private bills.

Rxpendllure. of nnd Estimates for the De-
partment— Desertions— Coast Defense*
Washington, Not. 2.—Secretary Kndi-
•ottmade his report to the President of the
administration of the War Department dur-
iQ g the fiscal year ending June 30 last.
Total expenditures were $41,166,107. The
Appropriations for the current fiscal year
•mount to $39,07993,4, and the estimates for
toe fi lca i year ending June 30, If 90, aggre-
gate $44,632,607, as follows: Salaries and
contingent expenses, $1,978,890; military
establishment, support of the army and the
military academy, 4*25.293,372; public works,
including river and harbor improvements,
* ! w»Uewll«neouaobiecls.S3.G75 t OlO.
The estimates for river and harbor im
provement represent the probable cost of
•ach improv ments, if approved by con-
tiir kxilkd apacueh.
The secretary gives a brief review of the
doubles with Chirichua Apache Indians
from the Mexican war to the present time,
ud discusses various plans suggested for
w»«ir future treatment. The sudians are
bow confined at Mount Vernon barracks, Ala.
*od maay appeals have been made for their
release. In regard to their disposition the sec
retary says; ••Various plans hare been sug-
gee;e<J, t tie most promising one by Gen. Arm*
•J r °ng, to place them on a farm near Fort
^•nroe, but there are seriou* objections,
Vf*d from many quarters, and
11 wia deemed impracticable. It is
T «nr deni rable to secure some place

The secretary renews the recommendation
contained in his l ist annual report in regard
to examinations for promotion, and says
that the necessity for such examina
tions grows more' and more evident,
desertioa from the army continuing in large
numbers, as in previous years, but from in-
estigations recently made it appears that
‘percent, of the desertions occur before
e expiration of the second year of service.
In discifssing various plans suggested to
prevent desertions, the secretary siys: “It is
worthy of consideration whether the officers
command ot troops at miliUry posts or
captains of companies should not be author
ized to impose punUhment for minor of
fenses, but in granting such authority it will
be necessary to specify the extent and char
acter of the punishment for each offense, as,
otherwise, there would be no uniform rule,
nor would it be wise to repose so large a
discretion in a single officer.
lie reviews the report of the board of visi
tors to tne military academy and indorses
their recommendations for new buildings for
soldiers’ quarters, for a new academic build
ing, a new gymnasium, etc.
8TATK MILITIA.
The secretary says that all the states and
territories now have an active militia, suffi-
cient under the regulations to entitle them
eceive ordnance and quartermasters’
stores from the United States except the
state of Arkansas and the territories of Ari
zona, Idaho and Utah.
It is hoped that very soon practical in
struction iii sea coast defenses aud the hand
ling of heavy artillery may be given to the
miiitiA and that the offices of the army may
be relied upon to give zealous and cordial
assistance by a generous supply of ammuni
tion fer target practice to colleges where
army officers are serving as instructors.
The secretary says: “It is possible that
i ompeiiiive routed in rill<* thootii g might
in time become ns popular with some of
these inland colleges ns boat racing now is
at the universities of our seaboard.’’
The secretary says he has directed that, in
preparing plans for some of the mw mill
tary posts provided for by congress, provis
ion should be made for maasiog the troops
by commands iustead of by companies.
OUR DEFENSELESS COAST.
Tbe attention of congress is again invited
to the defenseless condition of the sea coast
and take frontiers, and liberal and immedi
nte actl m is recommended looking to the
effective defense of our principal sea coast
cities.
The secretary says: “It'will appear now
more important than ever that such action
should be taken at the second session of the
present congress, In view of the fact that as
the last session gave appropriations for the
construction rf heavy ordnance without
proper provision for permanent placement,
these f uns and morters, when finished, will
be of comparatively little use. The build
ing of modern guns And mortar batteries re
quires a larger outlay than the construc
tion of regulation armament. It would ap
pear to be the part of wisdom that the
prep iratioii of these important cninpo
uents of well-equipped defense shonld pro
ceed simultaneously. For the beginning
of the construction of such defenses, an
appropriation of $2,840,000 is asked for.”
Two hundred thousaud dollars is asked
for repair and preservation of existing
works.
For the purchase of torpedoes and sub
marine mines and necessary appliances for
operating them, for experimenting to ascer
tain the best of the many torpedo inventions,
and for the continuing of construction of
the necessary casemates, cable gallies, etc.,
for working the submarine mine and torpedo
system, $1,890,000 is recommended.
MANUFACTURE OF ARMS.
Discussing the operations of the ord
nance department the report states that
during the fiscal year, ended June 30, 1888,
41,130 rifles and carbines were manufactured
at the national armory, and that Investiga
•lone have been completed to detensiue
charges and project for arms of smaller
calibre than the present service piece. It is
the intention to use compressed and per
forated cartridges, but as vet the powder
makers have not succeeded in producing
u satisfactory powder, the desired velocity
being accompanied by too great a pressure.
Thi* matter of suitable powder is still under
study and trial.
Land has been secured as a site for an
arsenal at Columbia, lean., and the title is
now being examined by the Department of
Jaatice.
The manufacture of the two twelve-inch
breech-loading rifles was resumed in the
spring. One has been finished and sent to
tue proving grounds and the other is nearing
completion.
Reference is made to the appointment of a
board of ordnance and fortification and the
recommendations of the board are briefly
reviewed.
Tbe secretary states that he directed the
board of orda&ace officers to convene At the
Watervliet arsenal in October last to pre
pare the necessair plans and specifications
lor the erection of an army gun factory. Ad
vertisements were published on Nov. 22 in
viting proposals and bids, to be opened on
Dec. 24, 1885. Under the provisions of the
army bill for the procurement of pneumatic
dynamite guns, tne necessary specifications
are now being prepared and advertisements
for proposals will be issued early in De
cember.
The secretary commends the suggestion
of the inspector-general that some of the
work now done by paid inmates of tbe
Soldiers’Home be done by daily detail of
inmates who are competent for it, as better
Cotton Futures Advance Four

Lower all Around.
New Yore, Dec. 1.—nubb&rd, Price *i
Co., in their cotton circular today, say:
Dispatches from New Orleans indicated that
receipts there would probably amount to
only 6,000 bales, as against 16,000 this day
last year. Upon this much more firmness
was displayed, and an advance of from 4 to 6
points was established. The bears of the
past few daps were not, however, conspicuous
buyers.

New York, Dec. 1.—The stock market
was active, feverish and weak today through
out the entire sefsion and the resnlt of the
two-hours’ session is to leave the entire 1 is
materially lower than last evening.
The temper of the room was conservatively
bearish, hut London was doing nothing,
while the commission people were not factors
at any time in the course of prices. The
bears, under such circumstances, became
more aggressive as the day wore along and
the market became more active and the
weakness more pronounced. The pressure
was specially severe against Southwestern
stock, Grangers and a few others, such as
Louisville and Nashville and Cotton oil, the
latter being a marked feature of the market.
The Vanderbilts, and Lake Shore in par
ticular, were the strong features of the day,
although they were fractionally lower at the
close. Everything on the active list is lower
and Manhattan and Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe lost 2 per cent, rich; Northwestern
194, Omaha preferred, Missouri Pacific IK
each; Louisville and Nashville and New
England IK each; Canada Southern and
Richmond and West Point preferred 1 each,
and others in fractional amounts. The sales
aggregated 115,000.

There was a queer little wedding, in
the church *f the Bohemian mission, on
East Seventy-fourth street, last Sunday.
The only guests were four men and a lit
tle girl. The bride was young and | retty
and wore a brown traveling dress, while
the groom did not take off his overcoat.
Kain waa falling heavily without, but all
was u*pp*RC33 within. TU last 1 hauler

student in .Bohemia. IIU father, a
Hebrew, was and is today the riche l man

elegant residences, horses and servants, al- December.,

student, fell in love with a pre'ty gixl who

became engaged. The father threatened,
stormed and forbade the marriage. But
his boy was realty in love, and scraping
together enough money to come America
landed here six months ago and found
employment in the otlice of an express
company. He worked hard, and was able
in a short time to send for bis fiancee. She
