LITTLE W-ILL HE DONE. So aki pPrisp Predicts of the Short / t of Congress. Nil HOPE FOR FREE SUGAR, He Think* It Important That There SHonhl Be Legislation on Finance, but litoo* Not Predict What It May Be. \ Aorember Deficit — President'* Condition—Other News. Washington, Dec. I.—Speaker Crisp does not believe that the coining short session of congress will be productive •f much legislation. “It is very important,” he says, “that there should be some legislation on finance. lam not prepared to predict what, if anything, may be done at this ■ession, but it must be apparent to every ®ne that the present situation should not be permitted to remain long. Whatever suggestions the administration has to make will be awaited with great interest. Whether or not Mr. Carlisle will present a proposition which will meet with general approval no one can •ay until the message comes in. A financial system which puts it in the power of anyone to deplete the treasury of gold and to compel the government to increase its interest-bearing obligations by the issue of bonds is vicious and should be corrected as speedily as possible.” He refers to the majority report of the house judiciary committee of the last session differing with the secretary as to authority to issue bonds, though he is unable to say whether there will be any discussion of the recent bond issue. The house never passed upon the report, but the speaker thinks it may be considered. The speaker does not think there will be any tariff legislation during the session, except to correct the alcohol schedule of the present law. Further legislation, he says, rests with th,e senate. As to sugar he says: Little Hope of Free Sugar. “It seems to me that the same influences which during the long session put the duty on sugar will be able to prevent a repeal during the short time there is left for this congress to legislate.” Mr. Crisp does not think there is any necessity for any measure to raise additional revenue, as the present law when it gets fully in operation will raise all the revenue needed. He regards as absurd the talk about defeating the appropriation to put the income tax in operation. As to other legislation the speaker says: “It seems to me that there will probably be an effort made to do something with the Nicaragua canal. I am not ' familiar with the details of the bill reported by the committee, but think that that or some othey measure dealing'with this subject is very apt to be acted on. Then there are the bankruptcy and antioption bills, which the senate should dispose of before the close of the session. A number of things may be attempted, but there is no programme arranged and everything depends upon what the general feeling is when we all get together.”

THE RICKS CASE. Sustaining of Charges Means Impeachment Proceedings. Washington, Dec. I.—Representative Bailey of Texas, chairman of the judiciary subcommittee of the house which has been investigating xJudge Ricks of Cleveland, has returned. He states that the subcommittee has practically completed its inquiry, but that the work will not be closed until the defense shall have had an opportunity to reply to certain new charges. Mr. Bailey then expects to have the report prepared for the house. It is understood that special promptitude will be exercised in this direction in case the committee should decide that, the charges have been sustained. In that event and in case the house should adopt the report the matter will necessarily go to the senate, where the impeachment proceedings which will result will be conducted. In case the committee should decide to exonerate Mr. Ricks there will be no necessity for haste. Cost of Our Army. Washington, Dec. 1. —The annual report of Secretary Lamont shows a saving of $500,000 in salaries and contingent expenses in the administration of the war department at Washington, besides economies in the recruiting service, rents, etc. Expenditures for the last fiscal year were $56,039,009; appropriations Jor the current year are $52,429,112, estimates for the next year are $52,318,629. President Stays In Doors. Washington, Dec. 1. —Owing to the unfavorable weather yesterday it was thought best for the president not to venture out. The cabinet meeting was therefore abandoned. It is stated that there is no business that needs the attention of the cabinet. If there are matters upon which any of the cabinet members desire to consult the president they drive to Woodley. » Debt Statement. Washington, Dec. 1. — The regular monthly treasury debt statement today shows an excels of expenditures over receipts for the month of November of $8,156,367, which makes the deficiency for the five months of the present fiscal year $22,510,226.

sentatives, shows that for the year ending June 30, 1894, the salaries of members and other expenses of the house amounted to $930,980, of which $256,589 was for the hire of members’ clerks. ANTITOXINE. Detroit. Drug Firm I* Preparing to Make the Diphtheria Cure. Washington, Dec. I.—Officials of the marine hospital service have been notified that a leading firm of manufacturingchemists at Detroit is making preparations for the manufacture of antitoxine, the new remedy for diphtheria, which has created such widespread interest in Europe. This is believed to be the first house of its character in the IwiwxSf Her ('at PR. KOVX. United States to begin experiments, and already they have taken active steps to scientifically demonstrate its value. It is understood that this firm has established a bacteriological department, where the experiments will be carried on under the direction of competent scientists. Healthy young horses have already been inoculated with the toxine, | but it is expected that it will be three or 1 four months yet before the result of the experiments can be announced. In Germany two houses and in France the government, at the Pasteur institute, under the direction of Dr. Roux, the discoverer, have taken in hand the manufacture of antitoxine on a larger scale. HORRIBLE. New Chapter of Outrage* Committed Upon the Armenians. London, Dec. 1. —The following is an- ■ other chapter in the story of the Armen- ■ ian atrocities furnished by Dr. G. Thoumain, who was one of the Armenian ; physicians at Herrick College, Marzo- | van, Asia Minor, and who was sentenced to death and forced to undergo terrible, disgusting tortures, being finally released through the intervention of Great Brirain in July, 1893. These facts have just come into his possession. “I have learned that the chief of police i of Moosh, which is the headquarters Os , the Sassbun district, went with a num- < ber of gendarmes to the village of Thurig i and nailed the head man and some others head downward to posts, beat them and drenched them alternately with hot and cold water. ■. - “The chief of police then attempted,,to , dishonor the wife of one of his victims, | and the unfortunate woman, seizing a knife, plunged it into’the chief of po- I lice’s brain, whereupon the gendarmes made a general attack upon the peasants. A stubborn struggle resulted in which many of the peasants were wounded and 30 of them were taken to prison at Moosh. The whole village of Thurig was charged with sedition, and ! the gendarmes, naturally, were not reprimanded, as they were only carrying out the orders of their superiors. “I could give pages and pages of such horrors done to my people. None of these wrongs have been redressed, nor ■will they be so long as Bahri 'jPasha, himself a Kurd, remains governor general of Van. He is the greatest enemy of the Armenian race.”

I.—John Leidner, an 8-year-old boy, left his home in Frankstown avenue yesterday afternoon and while crossing the tracks of the Citizens’ Traction company, near his home, was run down by a trolley car. His head was crushed by the wheels and he died instantly. He was carried home. The mother was working in the kitchen. When she saw the mangled and bloody body she seized a butcherknife and drew it across her throat. The knife made a small wound. She drew it back for another slash, when men caught her hand. She is now a raving maniac. The boy’s father is totally blind, and is in the Mercy hospital having an operation performed. The physicians say the shock will kill the mother. HAS A BAD RECORD. Arrest In New York of a Man Who Robbed His Fiancee. Philadelphia, Dec. 1. —H. Granville Gray, who is wanted in Chicago, was arrested in this city last evening.
