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.

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.

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 CLUB BECOMES VERY WARM London Institution Intended for Americana betting Ileputntlon as naming Place.

The Atlantic! club, on Dover street, originally Intended to provide a meeting ground for the so cial and financial elect of America with l-ondon's leading men alsiut town, Is b- glnulng to get a racy refutation. It was 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 stakm. It la no uncommon thine for 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. URUGUAY HASA REVOLUTION State of Siege Declared la One Department of the lie public.
