Disagree on AdJournment WASHINGTON , Dec. 1G.-The Nicaragua canal bill holds its place as the unfinished business on the senate calentr , and the general understanding appears to be that It will continue to occupy the attention of the senate with few interruptions , and these by consent , unt after a vote Is taken The bill will come up each day after the disposal of tile morning business but It will surrender the place temporarily on Thursday to permit the ceremonies In commemoration of Webster and Starke and tile un\'eilng of theIr statues , which have been placed In the capitol . There Is ale I probability that the committee on appro prIatons may ask consideration for the urgency - gency deficiency bill toward Lice last of the week I Is understoO that Senator Cock- rel , chnlrman of Ihls committee , wi lay stress upon the Importance of getting this bill through before the holidays , and that ho Will ask the committee to l'ass It on Monday or Tuesta ) ' . There Is little prob- abIlity. however , that any of the other apProPriation - propriaton bills will receive the attention of the senate during the weele. The disposition among senators Is favorable - able to an adjournment on Thursday tsidii after the Christmas holta"s , but I unt Ilrobablo that the house will not consent to this arrangement , and that the adjournment - mont will be delayed unt Saturday. The program , therefore , with reference to the adjournment , so far n one has been arranged - ranged , Is to adjourn on Saturday the 22d Instant , until Thursday , the 3(1 of January. Some senatcrs predict that the final vote , on the Nicaragua bill will be reached this week , but the friends of the bill scarcely hope for this resuit. They realize that the precetents of the enato are all against a conclusIon so speedy on a measure of such Importance and presentng so many points for debate ant set speeches , anti they are also Prepared to encounter opposi- ton which has not yet taken definite shape. Senator Caflery's objection to an agreement - bent for ! vote on the bi on Wenesllay next Is understood to have been . male upon constitutional grounds , and It Is - consttutonal I quite prob- able that he. ' with several other senators , Including Vast , Telor , George and Vilas. will desire to be heard In opposition to the measure before It shall be disposed of. Senator Culcm wi tomorrow open the speaking for the week with I speech on this nuestion. EXCITING WEEK IN THE HOUSE. This week , the last before the holIday re- c esO , promises to be an exciting one In the h ouse. The banking and currency committee has arranged to bring forward the Carlisle banking hill , and will tomorrow proffer a re- . quest to the commlteo on rules for a special specal order which Will set aside the remainder of . the t week beginning on Tuesday , for debate on the Carlisle bill. with a provision for a Inal vote on Friday next. The banking commitee Ct desIre to prolong the sessions so as to t begin at 1 a. m. and contnue until 10:30 : , at night , with a recess from 6 until 8 p. m. The terms of the special order will be sub- mited to the committee on rules tom rrOv. There Is considerable opposition among the temocrats of the house to the short limit It b proposed to set upon the debate. Many of hem feel that a measure InvolvIng such gi- g antic Interests , contemplating as It does a r evolution In the entire banking system tos the country , should not be crowded through In haste. This feeling Is shared by some of the most prominent democratic leaders VOf the ' house , 'and It seems a possibility th't' ' the 'I banking and currency committee wiiI'be over- ' ruled and the special order will then leave this week to debate , with provIsion for a fnal vote after the holiday recess ; Tomorrow the house will take up and tls- poe or the army appropriation bill. The adjournment for the holtay recsss wi probably occur on Saturday. The talk of contnuing the session without tile customary recess seems to be based on very slight foun- d ation. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ slght LITTLE SUCCESh WITH OIU UANY.

Dc. - view of the I dIsinclination of COngress to take up the' ' sUgar schedules of the tariff act , and , the consequent Improbability or any action such as was recomrhended by the president lookIng - Ing to the repeal or the tuty of one-tenth of I cent per pound on sugar produced under the bounty system , the' future action of the German government Is beIng awaited with some apprehension here. The speech of tile German chancellor In the Relchstag , In whIch be made I strol point of the discrimination - crimination Imposed by the United States toward German sugar , Is believed to Indl- cato a strengthening of the policy which that government has adopted directed to the exclusion or severe restriction upon AmerIcan - can products sOlsht to be ImportE 1 Into Germany. At present r\ ' r.

Up to this time no appreciable ! degree of success has attended these efforts of our government , tile character - actor of the negotIations appearing to Indl- cato a purpose on the part of the German government to procrastinate until congress decisIvely announC03 Its Intention In the mater of the sugar duty. As long as these conditions obtain our government Is likely to walt patenty , but should there bo any fresh attacks by the Germans upon AmerIcan - can interests there Is good reason to believe that the administration will have recouto to the retaliation act of 1890 and single out some German artcle , the Importaton of which Into the \ 'nited States about equals In volume the normal Amorlcn cattle and meat trade with Germany , and forbid Its Importation.

The churc\has ) ben without a pastor since tile removal of le\ ' . J , Id. Pat- terson , and the arrh'at of his uccessor has been anticipated wih considerable Inleresl. Mr. McCormick docs not present a striking appearance In the vuhidt. lie appears 10 bo a man of Inasumlng manners , whose Ilrlnclpal strength lies In the fact that lie Is thoroughly - oughly In earnest , and Is Rnlmnle by an Intense desire to fulfill his mission In ltuiiil- fled log . UII tile church with which ho Is Itent- fcd.As As an orator ho Is pleasing. lie has nc- qulre(1 a remarkably distinct enunciation , which makes every word plainly audible In ) the furthest corner of the auditorium , and whlo his rhetorIc Is not brilliant , It ant marked by an earnestness that colnIllands the interest anti sYl\athles of the llcarer. lie USM no notes whatever , and talks to his congregaton as easily uncI simply as though ho was simply expressing sentiments that were a Part of his being. The subject of the elseours yesterday was , "The Condiion at SUccessful ConqucsL" For the basis of Ills remarks the speaker reclcd 1 Ilorton of tile history of the COIIIUCt ( dl the promised land by the children of Israel ant threw the conclusion that God hal prom- Isel to the Christans of this generton just as great things ns the material bicncslngs whlel he vouchsafed to tile blesslng . Hut , as In the former case there was a con- cn- diton nUachell ( , and God did not uroiose 10 Ilrolose give anything that his children were not ready to receive. What conception the IndivIdual - vIdual hal of a Christian life would deler- mine very largely the extent of his bless- Ings. Some \eoplo regarded religion ns a great realty , others looked at It as merely an abstract thery , and still others held I to b3 simply a thing that would come In at the gloaming of tim judgment and save them from being 11llshed for their sIns. Those who wished 10 ChallIs ! the promises of God i must realize their extent all ( value or they might just as well have never been offered to them. orered ReferrIng to Christan service , the preacher said that constant exertion was an essential essental to conquest. He believed In the gospel of worle. The Lord never dil for Individuals or congregations that which He intended that they should to for themselves. Par success- 'ul Christian servIce there must always be a direct purpose In view , all a form and meth- o of work by which to accomlllsh this pur- p000.

This subject Is probably best explained by Mr. M. Id. Garland , president of Amalgamnted Association 01 Iron and Steel Workout , who says : "Slllug scales , as they have been termed , are In our estmalon a step In advance of any s'stem now In general use. The wages of the Iron and steel workers have been based on and determined by this plan for twrnty- eight years , and In fact the Iron and steel workers dams to be the caim originators of the sliding scab system. ! As n test of Its om- clency , when fair employer are concerned , I recall sore of the most successful firms In the Iron and steel trade oo'k.s , have been Ireat- lag wih labor In this way ( luring nil that period ; or time and who partclpate,1 , In draw- ing up the conditions or the Irst eliding wage scale Sluce the time of the find adoption by the Iron and steel workers new features have hon introduced from time to time , just as I was necessary to perfect the system to new conditions arising. Under this system of a slding scale a rate or wages Is agreed upon for each position ! to be covered hy the scale , and tllrn a seling price for the material Is selected - lected as being a air mlnlmul prIce while that particular rate or wages Is paid. A percentage of advance In the selling prIce of material Is then listed a requiring a slight percentage ot advance In the wages of the len In the several Jusltons , Tile ratios of advance In wages are thus listed wih the advance In materIal unt the probable highest figure the material will sell at haa been reached. A corresponding reduction In wageb I agreed to aB the material recedes In selling II rice. Hut a minimum IJrlce Is agreed upon ) as representng a stollllJng Jolnt In lIsa de- clime of wages , and although tbe employer Is free to sell his materIal below the minimum be Is not Jermlted a reduction II wages be- loW , Certainly there can be no plan pro. Josed to the average mind that bears a more equitable IJhase than that when Ihe price of materIal or goods goes uJ the laborer's Ilrlce should advance lS well . One of the chief advantages of the eliding scale system Is tile I brInging together of employer and employe3 I In conference and discussion of trade , dutIes , conditions , Ilrospcts and ablJy to pay a fair wage. The many IntrIcacies and details at Ute sliding eeale require tul Investigation into sill these points and many otben. Arer all , It Is the getting together or employer and I employes with' fair Intention that cultivates I reason and conciliation on both aides. We are loath to believe the oft-repeated aserton of capital and labor bJng at war , hut the greateretrangers they continue the more one Is convinced that the other 11 antagonistic bit it .
