Some of ?he Things Which May Be Ac-

comp'ished During the Present Session.

I Special 'orrespomlonee.

Washington, Dec. 5. Sixty-Gvc working days is not enough time it which to nct-oiijplisli till thiit has been maperi out: i,v general consent as tin prospective work of congress at 11k short session whieli began with a clay's adjournment on Monday. Tin appropriation bills, necessary to kee]

in motion the machinery of govern liient. have the right of way, and in long session 11 weeks would be con sidereri scant time in which to brin^ about I heir passage. It is com parntively easy to carry out it prepared programme in the house, but no tun can lignre out in advance just what is going to happen in the other end ol the capitol, where any sovereign sen .'itor has the right to begin reading tin Encyclopaedia I bit tallica tomorrow, and keep it going until .March -i at

high noon, if ho cares to do so. There is talk of the introduction of cloture in the senate, but the debate on that proposition would necessarily have go in under the present rules, and Mr. l-'et1 igrew could shelve the plan for the present congress by carrying on a series of readings from the dictionary or something equally as good. Taking for granted the desire of the adminis

tration to prevent' an extra session, it may be concluded that however important may be the measures which lite result of the recent election seems to have commended to the attention of congress, only the appropriation bills and a measure reducing the war taxes have clear sailing. Vet it is certain that something must be done in the way of army reorganization, else the military establishment will drop back, at the beginning of the next fiscal year, io ilie old peace footing. The Philippine situation will demand soldiers for some lime to, come, and newftlivpis!:!!ion must .be hud if they are to bi provided. Concerning the Xicit raguii.i) canal and its: at lent ant problems -of foreign policy, there are difVi'i'eH'H's of opinion in the senate which make a prolonged debate certain if the question is introduced. The ship subsidy bill is the question likely to- draw parly lines most sharply, since it was advocated in a plank in the Philadelphia platform. This is another measure -which is likely to pass the house quickly, and tloat about in the swirl of unlimited debate in the senate, more especially as there seems to be influential opposition

1 0

ihe

measure on Ihnt side of the capilol. .1 ttst what will happen at litis session is therefore a matter of extreme uncertaintv. Prom the standpoint of problems presented for its consideration. this session of congress is one of the most important convened in recent vears.

Senator Fairbanks, who is the only Indian senator of recent years to have a home in 'Washington, and Ui presetuat ive Steele, who was called to attend a meeting of the Republican members of the ways and means committee convened for lb" purpose of framing amendments to the war revenue act. were ihe advance guard of the Indiana delegation this year. .Messrs llemeiiway ami ()vcrst reel cane to Washington a few days in advance of the beginning of the session to loook after' departmental business, and Mr. Robinson also arrived early, beariniv easily the honors of being the only bridegroom in the house. Other men: bers of the delegation spetii Thanks-1 giving at home. I

Paul Liebhart. ihe superintendent of the dead letter ollice. is an Indianian— a resident of Milton. Wayne county— and his annual report, which has just appeared, is therefore of special inter-] est to Hoosiers. The report seems to indicate lhat carelessness is becoming in American characteristic, so rapid is the increase in the percentage of letters which iind their way to the correpotnlence morgue. Past year over 7.0(10,0(1(1 pieces of mail matter, an average of one to every 1(1 inhabitants of the United States, entered the category of letters that never came. Fifty thousand of these letters contained money— the amount aggregating nearly ijlo.ouo, of which nearly $12,000 could not be restored to its owners, and therefore goe* Into Uncle Sam's capacious pock-

ets. Eighty thousand letters, many ot them containing money, were mailed without any .address whatever. Mr. Liebbart is now invoicing his unclaimed packages, preparatory to the, annual auction sale, at which all sorts of articles, from horned toads Io I I crocheted ties, are knocked down to I people who let their curiosity get the. better of them.

Representative Ileinenway is a memher of the congressional committee on the centennial celebration of the District ol' Columbia, which is to be held in Washington on 1 H*c. 12. The 100th anniversary of the location of the seat of government at Washington will be observed principally by a parade, which is certain to he a long fine, as the governors of 20 states have promised to lie present with their staffs, and this in itself insures a pageant not only of unusual size, but one marked by a display of military haberdashery which for variety and "gorgeur." as a Tennessee congressman said in a celebrated (light of oratory, will be quite unlike anything else ever witnessed in the civilized world. Among the state executives expected is Gov. Mount of Indiana, wh.i attended the meeting of governors at which the celebration was projected nearly a year ago.

Whiio it, was a source of deep regret to the people of Indiana lhat the most conspicuous figure in the Cuban postal scandal was an Indianian. the fact that an Indianian was chosen Io run the whole malodorous affair to the ground, and thai he has done his work with conspicuous thoroughness audun-q-ueslioned honesty, is just cause for pride. A. T,. Lawshe. deputy auditor (or the postollice department, who was designated auditor of posts in Cuba for the purpose of investigating the postal accounts of the island, on Monday submitted to the secretary of war a report which completely covers every phase of the subject, and embraces the results of a lung period of incessant labor. Mr. Pawshe made a complete re-audit of the Cuban postal accounts from the time of the organization of the system under American control to (lie date of Mr. Rathbone's removal as director of posts. The report would make, if prinled, a book of 300 or -100 pages, and much of. it is doubtless decidedly interesting reading. It was stated in some newspapers at: the time of Mr. Pawshe's appointment that another Indiana man had been chosen to flo a job of whitewashing. How well founded this charge was is indicated by the lact that the most convincing evidence of the criminality' of Xeely was turned up by the Indiana auditor, and his Investigations resulted in the nrrest of Director of Posts Rathbone. who is now in Havana under bond, The comment: of Gov. Gen. Leonard! Wood, which appears as an indorsenient transmitting the report, is: "I desire to express my appreciation of the energy, and fearlessness with which Mr. Lawshe has conducted his in) tori ant and ditlicult work."

A story floats--up from Philadelphia concerning the strange adventures of -Deputy Register of the Treasury Leo

Chow of Noblesville and Revenue Collector David Henry of Torre Haute, during the Republican national convention. The story litis been it longtime geti ing out. bur Philadelphia is it slow town. Law Clerk Fen ton of Ihe postollice department, another Hoosier. who hails from Hammond, t"Us it. As treasury oiiicials, Messrs hew and Henry felt obliged to pay their respects to the Philadelphia mint. 1 and expected a reception adequate to

Iheir rank. The only oliicial in evidence when they brought up at the government's money foundry, was a I haughty doorkeeper, who. after listenI ing to explanations as lo the official .''haraeter ol ihe visitors, .asked them to i-all later in the day. when they would be shown through. Keeping their appointment, the Indianians found on guard another janitor who knew them not, a nl was apparently not much impressed with iheir credentials. Finally they insisted with so much velienience on entering the building that the doorkeeper was unable to determine in his own mind whether they were really the high mightinesses they claimed to be. or whether they were I unposiors seeking by devious means to 1 ge! a chance at the coin of the relm. lie compromised Ihe matter by sending ahead, wf them a guide, and behind them a watchman, who was prepared for the worst in case a holdup was attempted. No sooner had ihe pair encrged from the mint llian a gov oi'iintelll deteclive was placed on ilu-ir rack, and for all these two lloositr functionaries know he may he on il yet. The mailer was made 11 subject of oliicial reports by various and sundry supernumeraries of the mini, and it is perhaps still grinding somewhere among tin? cogs of red tape officialism. .. ....

The eilieieni work of tin Indiana of-lie'-r the regular army. Lieutenant Colonel .lames Allen of South Henri, is made the subject of commendatory foiiniient in the annual report of Chief Signal Otlieer A. W. (Jreele.v, which lias just been made public. It will be remembered that 'Vlonel Allen was the principal signal ollieer connected with

Ihe expedition airainst Santiago, and Llurin^- ihe several days of fighting there succeeded so well in keeping the I telegraph wires up with the firing line, that the public was more promptly informed of the details of that campaign than of any which litis ever been conducted. As (leneral (ireeley says, the construction, operation and maintenance of a system of military tele-

graph and telephone lines carried on in the Philippines, "as to their importnee. extent and elliciency. have no equal in the history of warfare." I OEOROE Ii. LOCKWOOD:
