rt'AFIHN'ITON,- Jii. ItAfter a reoosi
of more thfiii two weeks the senate will
resume business tomorrow, without any
Cotlnllo pingram. Indeed, It may he stated
that the MtMtc has no program for the
entire session bevond the passage of the
uppiopriutiou bills, the conslili ration of
th" Panama canal treaty, the de.-tei mlna
tlott of Suminr Snmnt's ciiw, anil the dls
J.o. ltton of some othe-r comparatively un
important matters.
Only one of' tho appropi latfon bills,
namely, the pension bill, has re-a"hod tho
si hate, and lint bus not yet been consid
ered In committee. It In probable, how
vrl that it will bo reported at an ofriy
ei.it v The Panama, omil treaty also In in
committee, uni It also prooubly will be
reported to tho senate during the present
pik. The Bmoot cm: will bo proceeded
vilh y the committee on privileges nnd
eloe lions, but the Indications are, that some
k vci-kK will rlapso liefore tho question can
Jr. brought before the Semite In rcrular
funlcr.
Notwithstanding the ftict that the canal
treaty l not at present In the senate, there
Is llttlo doubt that the canal (mention will
form the leading topic for dIsoiiMfim dur
ing the we?k. Senator lode will apek
on UiIh HtitijHct on TueH.lny. and It in quite
ertaln that he wlU be followed by other
ecnatorn, eKpeclally by some who antUKO
Iilzo the attitude of th BdminiHtratlon.

will be mnde. 8enulor Morgan Is prepared
lit any time to ppeak,- rut Ida preaent In

Knrly Action an Trent y.
Tho committee la expected to report the
f canal treaty by the mlddlu of the wek
und it Is the Imeiition (If the friend of
. the administration to preen consideration of
the treaty by the senate us rapidly as pos
sible. wKh the idea of Getting speeches out
of the way and having the treaty disposed
of as early nn possible in the session. With
the treaty once reported, they will make an
effort toconllne the discussion to the exec
utive sessions In the hope that by ao doing
t'.iey will shorten the consideration of the
(4UHtioi. I
Thrt committee on military affairs prob
ably will report the nomination of General
Leonard Wood to be 'major general at the
tlrst executive seywlon of the senate. A
meeting of the committee has been called
for tomorrow with the understanding that
a vote on the nomination shall be taken
Immediately. There will be an effort to
secure consideration of this nomlnutlon as
soon as possible after It Is reported, with
the hope of also having it disposed of be
fore the aiwslon shall be far advanced.
The nomination probably will lead to much
(lebnte In executive session, ns both the
Mends end the opponents of-Ceneral Wood
lire quite determined to UIhcuhs It at length.
Hunan Una Little in Mulit.
When the houe reassembles tomorrow
. ter Its vacation it will be confronted by
uu almost bare calendar. Only a few Items
of legislation have been reported by com
mittees and nil those are of oomparaflve
instgnltlcunco. ' It therefore will be 'neces
sary for the houie to wait for u few days
upon Its committees liefore POiCinnlng the
tninactlnti of Important ' businods.
The U1hhkMIou In tho house is to tuke
Up no matters of general Interest outside
of npproprtution bllla and there is no Im
portant measure, in ti'iupe to I reported
from committee. Tho, "executive, 1'kIMu
tKe and judicial bill will be the first to re
ceive, attention by the huuse, but there Is
Iio'expeclHtlon that it will be reported from
the appropriation committee before Friday
or (tuturduy. In Die meantime the house
will consider private pension bills and other
questions of not much Importance, unless
some, matter should be taken up for general
d'scusslon. Tho week, however, will be
one of great activity in the committee
rooms and the eeucral understanding Is
lhat after the present week there will be
moitgh business before. the bouse to keep
Its members occupied.

"DER KOBOLLTJS MYSTICAL
Megfrle'il Wnarner'a ew Opera Snld
to Up Far from
Perfect.
(Copyright, 3904, by Press Publishing Co.)
UEULIN, Jan. 3 (New York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram.) The World
correspondent is able to state that Sieg
fried Wagner's coming opera, "Der Kobold"
(the Gnome), Is founded on the popular
belief in some places that the souls of mur
dered children are only redeemed from
purgatory through the death of some one
who is ready to sacrifice himself to save
the soul of a child. It Is a redemption
story, like "The Flying Dutchman," "Tann
hauser" or Parsifal," crammed full of
fantastic languuge, u.ystorle and religious
symboilsm. ' . ,
A clear Idea of what Siegfried alms at Is
Impossible. The' soul f a child wandering
around looking for its redeemer appears
o a village girl named Verena, a (laugh
er of tho village Innkeeper, and asks her to
die for him1. Hut she Is fond of life and
lovea a youth named Frledet, a vagabond,
the star In a troupe of actors. Frledel Is a
scamp and as he Is about to be murdered
by bailiffs Verena dies for him and thus re
deems the Kobold. The lsist act shows a
sort of upotheosls of the Kobold, full of
startling theatrical effects. There is it
taltsmanlc stone In the piece and frequent
references to Christ, which are In very bad
taste and wholly unnecessary and Impossi
ble to understand. The best parts of the
muslo are those In which the strolling
players and their fif are shown. 1

LONDON, Jan.. 8. (New York World Ca

founded by the familiar device of Inviting
200 fashionable men to Join, paying a
thirty-gulniri subscription.
It caught on slowly, but now, when tale
of high gaming are going around, there
Is such a rush fur membership by the
gilded youth that a heavy entrance f,.fl
has been put on In addition to the dues.
Itrldge and baccarat are played for big

young lelluws to play until 6 o'clock In
the morning, having a bath und change.
take tho 7:30 a. m. train for the hunting
center, get back to town for dinner and
repeat, the same performance, f with only
a few hours sleep snatched, in railroad
cars.
There are several American names on the
membership list, but as yet Americans are
seldom aeon thorc. It is the "smartest"
club In London at present, with a splendid
chef, unimpeachable wines and luxurious
rooms. But the pace Is too swift to last.
There Is sure to be trouble about the
heavy losses of some foolish young fellows
bearing noted names.

fliitod Stales that a mei ling of the Amer
ican holrarehy of th" Catholic cbutcu
would bo held In Washington January
for the purpose of discuHslna the project
of creating a primate in the I nited Stales,
probably originated from the ' rumor llv.il
the pop had been considering the conges
tion of work at the Vatican, especi.il'y ot
such work or come under the Conjuga
tion of the Propaganda, nnd tli.it he de
sired to put Into execution some form of
ili-eentrallxation of this work. 1'roui thin
rumor the eoncluslon has been drawn that
besides the primate of all Ireland, which
nominally exists In tho person of Ordinal

Itritaln, the t'nited States 11 ml Australia
and that these' primates were to bo re
spectively the archbishops of Westmlusttr,
Unltiinoie and Sydney.
Tho Vatican authorities, however, dis
claim that any such plan has la n con
templated null tin y add that the primates,
even after their Institution, in the sixth
century, exercised merely nominal powers
and were not considered satisfactory.
The only eharige which so far has 1eon
introduced by Pope Plus X. for tho purposo
of dealing with the congestion of wor
has consisted In the appointment of extra
clerks for tho Congregation of the Propa
ganda. The project for projecting tho
work of the Catholic church in the I'uiteel
States was studied for a long time bJ
Pope Le(), who partially solved tho prob
lem by Increasing tho powers of the apos
tolic elelcgate at Washington, giving him
control of certain oucsttons of discipline.
Tho Vatican authorities at that tune went
so far 11s to ask for a list of piominent
American prelntes, the Intention ls-Ing to
form a kind of advisory board to assist
the apostolic delegate In arriving nt his
decisions. This project) however, was not
carried out.
