Special Dispatch to the Post-InteDlgencer. WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-The fifty-fifth congress will assemble In regular session on Monday. December 6, and many sena- tors and representatives have already re turned to the national capital. The gen eral opinion of those already here seems to be that the coining session will be of the usual length and that an adjournment will not be reached before next July or August. Many of the older members are expecting some warm debates on ques tion* <>f national importance, and especi ally tn regard to our foreign relations. The Cuban question and Hawaiian annexation will take up a great deal of time, and a very vicious onslaught is to be made on the civil service law in both houses of con gress. The old fisrht on the bankruptcy law will be renewed and there will al most as many schemes to reform the cur rency legislation of the country as there are member? of congress. Business will beg;n from the very day GOVERNMENT FACTORY FOR ARMOR PLATE. Special Naval Board Favors a $3,000,000 Plant, With ati Output of 6,000 Tons. WASHINGTON. Nov. 23.-The special naval .board appointed to examine Into the cost of armor making will present to con gress details of a plant which it has de signed. It will cost more than $3,000,000 and will have a capacity of 6,000 tons of armor per annum, which is about the combined capacity of the two armor plants now supplying the navy. The process of manu facture will include the very latest devel opments In the art of metallurgy, ar.d while the plans contemplate the manufac ture of Harveyired nickel steel armor ac cording to methods used in the reforged process, they will admit of easy adaptation to the new secret Krupp process of hard ening armor by the use o? gas. The plans are s.ild to be perfect In every dttall and. of the opening of the session. The com mi!tees ircrf appointed by Speaker Reed Just before the extra session closed, and several thousand bills have already been Introduced and are now waiting action by the various committee" to which they were referred, The clerks of many of ' thest- committees have been harii at work j during the summer ind- x:ng ,-*nd arranging [ the bills, preparing calendars, etc-., ready for the opening of the regular session.

GAG EON CURRENCY REFORM The Secretary Dlseasses the Qae»- tloa Before the Xew York Chan ber of Commerce. NEW YORK. Nov. 23.-The l»h annual dinner of the New York Chamber of Com merce was triven at Pelraonico's new res taurant tonight. Men distinguished in pro f* ssional and commercial life were pres ent, and the l»eaiitiful banquet hall was taxed to its utmost capacity. Secretary of the Tnwurary Lyman J. Gage was the guest of honor and the chief speaker. He spck- to the toast "Currency Reform: Now or When?" He said in part: "Thanks to the wise instincts of our peo ple. and to their roice. uttered in November last, assurances have come to lift doubt?, to banish fears, to brace hope and to lend courage. This happy re action in enterprise now witnessed—the stimulation of industry which has follow ed this new assurance—ls confirmatory evidence of the blighting of that fierce propaganda for free silver which met its just rebuke in 1*96- "Speaking broadly. I believe that the shape anil destiny of our life as It may be affected by financial legislation is to be determined within the next four years. Four years is a period so short in a peo ple's history as to t>ar all idea of futurity, and to require In substitution the more im mediate. omnipresent now. "It Is said that under present conditions it is j>ossible that obstructionists can hin der and defeat the popular will; that agi tation on so delicate a subject as the mon ey standard is disturbing: that we have the best of guarantees that for four years the present status will be maintained; that the revival of business will be best assured by the policy of inaction. "That the condition of our currency and banking system is 'bad enough' is certi fied to by the deliberate judgment of the great body of economic students ana by a general consensus of opinion among busi ness men. "The establishment of our currency and banking system upon more secure foun dations is' the one thing lacking to the things which make for a permanent condi tion of reasonable prosperity. "In a word. 1 commit myself to the fol lowing proposition: At a cost too con temptible for serious consideration. the de batable condition of our currency and banking system may be put on clearly safe, if not theoretically scientific, foundations. This may be secured without any neces sary contraction of the circulating medi um of exchange, and with no danger of an undue expansion, and, best of all. this de sirable end may carry in its effect potential relief to those districts in the South and West which, though rich in possibilities of soil and climate, have been held back having been drawn under one of the lead ing experts of the country, the specifica tions are said to be so well defined that no difficulty is expected to arise in securing straight bids. The board has prepared the form of advertisement calling for bids for erecting this plant, as congress desired that information. Secretary Ix»ng will soon issue the advertisement. It ts the purpose to have al! of the plan* In the secretary's hands by the first of next month, and if the advertisement is promptly sent out it is hoped that within three months at the latest congress will have before it full inforamtlon as to the cost of an armor plant, as well as offers from existing plants to sell out to the gov ernment. throueh the absence of capital and credit facilities." Oev. Elack. Gen. Merrltt, Commodore Bunce, Mayor Strong and President Oil man, of Johns Hopkins University, re sponded to toasts. NAVAL MILITIA A SUCCESS.

CAS ADA VILLM6 TO CO-OPERATE WITH THE (.'SITED STATES. Sir Wilfred laarirr and Secretary NEW YORK. Nov. 8.-Secretary of War Alger, speaking of the plans for the re | lief of Klondike miners in case of a fam ine, said today:, "I met Sir Wilfred while he was in Washington, and wo had a talk in re gard to the Yukon country. We agreed to work together if it becomes necessary to send relief to the people in that froaen region, who .ire seeking gold. The co-oper ation of Canada being assured, 1 believe that we could manage to get provisions to Dawson in »om? way before the sunwncr opens the Yukon river. "Capt. Rea, who represents the war de partment, his gone to Alaska to report, but just where he is I cannot say. He left St. Michael on Auguet 29. and in the mid die of September I heard from him at Fort Yukon, about 1,300 miles up the Yukon river and 500 miles from Dawson. "The Yukon river is froren and it if not easy to travel on the rough ice. Therefore to send relief in midwinter by that route is not practicable. The government has about 1.100 reindeer in Alaska, but they are scattered. Mr. Bliss, secretary of the in terior. has placed at the disposal of ths war department 100 reindeer that are with in 500 miles of St. Michael. It Is Just possi ble that with the reindeer and with the aid of Indians a small expedition might be sent by this route. "My idea is, however, that In March an expedition will be sent over the Chiikat pass by the Dalton trail. There are pro visions In plenty at St. Michael. The last I heard was that 5,000 or 6,000 tons of pro visions were there and as steamships ply betweeen and San Francisco the dan ger of starvation 4 s not great." "Do you think Alaska ehould be made a territory?" "I do, because by next summer I think from 100.000 to 200,000 people will be tn the Yukon country. My idea. la that two territories should be made, and the Yukon country should be on« of Them. A terri torial form of government will bo much better than the present method of govern ing Alaska. In my opinion. The state of Nevada has about inhabitants, and the Yukon country alone will have three or four times that number next spring." Mr. Alger said he favored a change in the duty imposed by the Dlngley tariff law From Seattle. on whKe SmportiNl from Ciraiia r v ; .fit :h# nr.* of tS a thou* ml f«t as ! at present, is exft-*siv».
