Washington City, I>ee. 30. Both
bouses of congress will resume their
sessions on Thursday next »rd It is
expe\-ted that there will he a more de
termined effort to press forward the
wrk of the session for the next tw->
months than has characterized the pro
ceedings during the months which have
already elapsed. The necessary wsrk
of the session is the passage of the ap
propriation bills, «»f which there are
fourteen. None has passed the s nate,
arid only live hive received the sanction
uf the house. It is in order for the
senate to take up any report**! a-m>rc>-
prlatton bills at any tone, and whether
the Nicaragua canal bill, which stands
on the senate calendar as unfinished
business, shall continue to hold its
place of vantage will be dependent upon
Whether the appropriations committee
ahall desire to supplant it with the pen
sions and fortifications bills, or with
any other appropriation bH!s after the
other bills shall be reported from the
committee. The probabilities are that
the Nicaragua canal bill will not be
displaced for the present. *
Senator Morgan has been devoting
the holiday to the preparation of a re
ply to Senator Turple's attack on the
canal bill, and his friends expect hitn
to make a vigorous and exhaustive de
fense of the measure. Ha will proh; oly
speak an entire day, and possibly two
or three days.
Montgomery, Ala., Dec 30.—Governor
Oatjes, who has ju3t returned fr in
Washington City, says iu an interview
thit the C irlisle currency p* v tn will be
defeated, the Nicaragua canal bill will
fail to pass, and congress will do but
little this session.
INCOME TAX A I'l'ltOl'BlATlON.

Xot Caring to Fletit It.
Washington City, I>ec. 30.~As soon as
possible after the holiday recess Senator
Cockrell will call up the urgency, defi
ciency bill and press it for immediate
consideration. This is the bill that car
ried the appropriation for the enforce
ment of the income tax. It la not known
whether the senior New Vor'v senator
(HiU) will g> to the extent of .intagoniz
ing the bill. The best opinion appears to
tot* that he will content himself with mak
ing a speech against the enforcement of
the tax. Of the Republicans, Quay alone
seems to be willing to lend a hand in the
light, and it may be accepted as a cer
tainty that th« Republicans is a body
will <lo nothing to interfere wUh the pas
sage of the deficiency bill. This is the
attitu'le a&sumcl by Mr. Aidrlch and
other leaders.
The income tax was collected in the
United State* for the first time as a war
measure, an ! was in operation for eleven
yea if, from 1563 to 187:» inclusive. Thj
collections wore as follows:

Incomes a.nd ihe enormous increase in the

cannot be maintained, for the reason that
it was |«ossib!e to collect the money when
the amount paid was looked upon as a

the war, but now there is no su< h incen

It is said that if the urgency deficiency

this session fche president will tali an

Much of the speaker's adiresss was de
voted to a discussion of municipal affairs,
acd a plea for a reform that should put
all public works in the hands of the peo
ple and out of these of corporations.
Workmen were more to blame for the dis
graces exposed by the Lexow committee
than WAS Tammany, because the work
men had it in their power to elect honest
men to office. If the American people
would seroi a few carpenters, engineers,
brick masons, etc., to the sepate, Mr.
Burns thought, seme of the things done ia
England msght be done here.
In cocclusioa, Mr. Horns asked his hear
ers what w*s the good of their boasi.ng
of American ffbertte* acd privileges so
long as American labor was in the grasp
of capitalists, trusts and combines. He
urged t!icro to elect men to offi< e wh:>

ENIOKtI.NU THE POPW OKCSBC.
How th» ('ttho)lc Oiid Fellow* and
I'ytbUm Will B# ltemehcd,
Washington City, I>ac. 30.—The manner
of executing the Catholic church edict
against membership in the Knights of Py
thias, Odd Fellows and ether societies ts
now receiving the careful consideration of
tho ohurch authorises* Mgr. Satulll has
transmitted the decision to the heads of
ikll the dioce/es throughout the country,
and it remains for thtm to convey it to
parish priests an.i for the latter to give it
practical application and execution, each
having considerable latitude as to how ha
shall act. No time is set wivhin which the
heads of dioceses may act. Some have al
ready notified their parish priests to read
the prohibition to their congregations
with the announcements preceding the
massen. Other bishops have not required
a public announcement to the congrega
tions, as the comic unJca; ions from Rome
and from Mgr. Saiolli do not direct a
formai publication, and they make it ef
fective largely through the confessional.
It therefore may take some time for the
papal decree to become fully effective and
to reach those persoi-s who continue their
membership in secret societies after tha
order of the church becomes known. Com
munion is not taken necessaily more
than once a year, though it is customary
with most Catholics to take the com
munion, to which confession is an abso
lute essential, at Easter.
Other means, however, are at hand for
speedily carrying the papal order Into
pracJeal effect. There are publiched lists
of the members of Knights of Pythias
and oilier societies, nt that the Catholic
membcr.i of them pre readily ascertain
able. Should these members remain
away from confession beyond a year,
they would thereby cut themselves oft
from the church. If they attended confts
rion th?y would voluntarily abandon their
society conn-etions and receive absolu
tion, or else be examined on subject,
und If refusing to abandon their connec
tions, absolution would be withheld. This
would also operate to cut off the church
member from communion, and therefore
from membership in the. church. No
formal excommunication would be requi
site. It is pointed out that the church
decision will be more Important in keep
ing Catholics from Joining the prohibited
societies in the fixture, in this respect
the church authorities say the decision
should not be construed as against the
Knights of Pythias, Odd Fellows, etc.,
but only as a rule of conduct enjoined on
members of the church whereby the
church retains control of the conscience
of its members, instead of letting them
be bound by secret oaths.
Nashville, Dec. 30.-Dr. R. L, White, su
preme kcept-r of records and seals, of-the
Knights of Pythias, in an interview con
cerning the order ami the recent papal
edict ssys: "it seems that it is a matter
which each individual niu»it settle for
himself. The mad who considers himself
his own master in worldly affairs will re
main In the order if he is devoted to its
principles. 1 have talked with several
Catholic Knights <-f Pythias concerning
the question, and they all say they in
tend to remain ir* the order. The su
preme lodge had decreed that caeh mem
ber must be loyal to the sovernment un
d r which he lives. You can see wher®
that would fall to please the pope.

endf sunny, but it closed In rain and
culd. Nevertheless the Christmas trade
was admitted to be good. if not the best
ia the last few years. The Christmas
festival in the new p.tla ? in Potsdam
ripened on Christmas eve with the tus
ncnary presentation of Rifts. Kvery
member <»f the imperial family had an
individual fir tree, cut In the Potsdam
wiM park and set up in the Shell hall
under the emperor's personal supervis
ion. The Kise of 'the trees were gradu
ated carefully, according to the import
ance and age of the possessors. The em
peror's, as also the empress', was twerf
ty feet high, the crown prince's ten feet
high, Eitel Frederick's nine feet high,
and so en down to ifte liitie princes,
who had a sprig hardly above three
feet. Late in the afternoon the family
dined in the Apollo hall. The party con
sisted of the Empress Frederick, the
older princes, Alexander and George of
Prussia, the ladies in waiting, the offi
cials of the court, and the children's
tutors. All joined the imperial family iu
a hearty merrymaking, un marred by
the restraint of court etiquette. After
an hour at the table the party went di
rectly to the Shell hall, which was
ablaze with the light of the chandeliers
and numberless tapers. The trees had
been decorated and lighted under the
emperor's eyes. He had pissed the
greater part of the day in. preparing the
spectacle, and smileu complacently over
the wonder which his work excited
among his children. The little company
sang the carol "ileilize Xacht." and the
emperor and empress distributed the
presents. The adults had a romp with
the imperial princes during th? examin
ation of the bundles, after which they
left ttiem in the Later the em
peror and empress entertained a few in
timate friends at a dinner in their pri
vate apartments. On Wednesday, at the
emperor's command, a matin® ? perform
ance of "llunsel and Gretel" Was given
at the opera house for the amusement
of the imperial princes and the other
children of the court. Although the
house was ojjen to the public, it was
not filled. The action of the opera was
followed with keen interest by the em
peror's boys, who did not hesitate to
make loud and frequent demonstration
of their delight. "Wednesday was the
emperor's last holiday, since then he
has been absorbed in his state duties,
and his family has been left to seek its
own amufrrnents.
Capt. Von Pluskow of the First foot
guards, had the honor of giving the im
perial couple, in accordance with a
time-worn custom, the Chris tun a pa
lter cakes, which all Germans, rioh and
poor, associate with holiday festivals.
Thv emperor received the cake® with
dignity, and had them piled in proper
order on the table before him. The Em

The first national congress of Her

debate, the abolition of child and female
labor, the suppression of the syr.'em of

their hostility to the Christian Miners'

Tho Storm in Europe Cnatlnnoa.
London, l>ec. SO.—The Pritish bark Os
seo was wroeked in a gale at Holyhead
early this morning; and with her per
ished her entire crew of twenty-six men.
The Osseo was driven ashore baok of the
Holyhead breakwater. Her signals of dis
tress were first heard by the coast guard
about 4 o'clock in rhe morning. At that
tune ii was pitch dark, and great waves
were washing o\er the breakwater. In
spite of the danger of being washed into
the sea the guard proceeded along the
breakwater and, having rigged up the
rocket apparatus, began firing life lines tti
the direction of the wreck. The f.iint
light of the rockets soon disclosed the
fact that the vessel hftd broken in two
amidships, and that the mainmast had
fallen, crushing the lives out of several of
the crew. A few survivors oould b«* seen
clinging to each half of the vessel, an l
their piteous cries for help could he heard
above the roar of the alorra. After mtiny
failures the coast guard succeeded in fir
ing a line over, the wreck, but hy tluu
time all on board had perished. A 44ft
boat vainjy tried again and again to -ap
proach the wreck. Not a vestige of th?~
bark could be n»et» today, and there is no
prospect of any salvage. Several bodies
have been washed atfhore.
The Otiseo was commanded by Captain
