Program of the Senate.
Nothing- but preliminary work will en
gross the attention of tho session the first
week. The sen-ite is already organised, as
It Is a. continuous body, and besides, there
was a special session last spring when
the new senators were sworn In. Senators
Brandudge of Connecticut, Warner of Mis

Felletto of Wisconsin have not yet taken
their oaths. The two former had not

. 'Monday will be a very short session and
the senate will adjourn out of respect for
the late Senator Piatt of Connecticut as
soon as the necessary formalities for the
beginning of a :rw congress have been
concluded. Tuesday the president's mes
sage will be received and read and is
likely to be dovcted to the Introduction of
bills, A short session will be held and
the senate will adjourn until the . follow
ing Monday.
It Is quite likely that a republican cau
cus will be held Tuesday or Wednesday
for the purposu of organizing a committee
to fill committee vacancies and the ap
pilntment of a steering committee for the
sesvlon. It is not expected that the com
mittee vacancies will be filled early In

pressing Stories of Atrocities

LONDON. Dec. J. iSpoclal Cablegram to
The Bee.) Mr. G. V. Macalpine. president
of the Baptist Missionary society, has made
an official explanation of the charges
brought apnlnst the society In connection
with the Congo utrocitlos. Going back to
the time when the attack on the society
and its missionaries began, he related In
detnll the facts concerning the memorial
presented to the king of the Belgians '
thanking him for a remission cf taxation
to all religious, charitable and scientific
Institutions in the Congo Free State. At
the t' he memorial was tiresenterl the

frequently appeared In the newspapers
even before they were presented to the
committee. It warn absolutely false to say
that tho letters had been suppressed by
officers of the society, and It was equally
false to Infer that Ihe mouths of the agents
of tho society had been cloned. As to the
Indictment brought against the society that
Its protest was 11 tardy one, it was not
surprising that with the knowledge of King
Leopnids Interest In the work of the mis
slon'tlie commit toe came but slowly to the
conclusion that their conHd'-nce In the
Conpo government was misplaced, and that
with the absorbing greed of gain due to
rubber fever the policy of tho Congo ad-
ministration had undergone a disastrous
change. Nevertheless, their society took
the Initiative and annealed to other so-
cietles interested to demand A searching
Inquiry, promising cordial co-oncratlon.
After commenting on the society's present
attitude, Mr. Macalpine said that the at-

miserable attempt at falsu representations '

CANTON, Iec S.-(Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) The derelict ship which wag
found high and dry on a shoal In the
China sea has been identified as the
British steamer Claverdale, which was
given up for lost six months ago, and
the Vladivostok Salvage company hopes
that they will bo able to float It in the
spring.
Not one word has ever been heard of Its
crew,, nor can any trace of them be dr .
covered. The Claverdale wn. commanded
by a Cardigan man and of its total crew .
Of twenty-seven all but two were British. ;
While It is possible that they went ashore
It is more likely that the ship was boarded
by Manchurlan pirates and that they were
thrown overboard.
The Claverdale, a fine ship of 4.000 tons,
830 feet long, woa owned by Messrs. E.
Haxelhurst & Co. of Bllllter House, and
was the pioneer ship of the Claverdale
Steamship company. Eighteen months ago,
during the war. it waa cruising in eastern
waters. In October, 1304, it called at Hong
Kong ror orders and round awaiting a
charter to convey coal to Vladivostok,
which was supposed to be a blockaded
port. The cruise was expected to last
six months and tho owners agreed to give
everybody on board double wages for the
perlod. Six months passed. No news was
heard of the vessel and the underwriters
paid, on a total loss. On the strength of
this the owners, Messrs. E. Haselhurst &
Co.. communicated as far as possible with
thc relatives of the crew and paid them
through the Board of Trade the amount
I due each man for. wages, together with a
bonus equivalent to a month's wages, and
compensation for the loss of , proporty.
that is to say, personal belongings amount-
Ing tn one case to as much aa S400.
Finally It was reported that a lurge
British vessel was ashore on a desolute
point on the Manchurlan coast in the Gulf
of Tartury, some :! miles north of Cape
Olgl. The salvage company organised an
expedition and tliev now report that the
ship la the Claverdale, Unit It had been

left giving the slightest hint as to what
became of the crew, and that saving for 'and that she came here from British Co

and unconscious, lay upon the floor. Miller
fell to his knees and begged her to say she
had shot herself, but there was no rc-

a doctor, he found the woman dead and
Miller gone. An all-day search hod failed
to locate the man.

these business complications, but the visit
o far appears to have been without avail
In this respect. In frfct. ,the situation is
becoming niore and more serious all tho
time. It has developed into excesses which
take the form of assaults upon Europeans.
This appears to be the casu particularly In
Calcutta, where the hostile attitude of the
natives ut times calls for stern repressive
measures.
The opinion Is- gaining ground that the
Bengal government has made a mistake In
adopting a lenient policy toward the lead
em of the boycott. Mr. J. B. Fuller, the
lieutenant governor of tho newly formed
province of eastern Bengal and Assam,
has warned the student element that If they
are found concerned In political agitation
they will be debarred from government em

LONDON. Dec. 4. Evidence, of the in
tention of the unionist party to force the
question of home rule for Ireland to the

is shown In a message sent by Premier

casting the return to office of Sir Charles

VESSEL HAS STORMY TRIP

DETROIT, Dec. 3. Sheathed In Ice the
steel steamer Angellne, over whose safety
there was for a time much apprehension,

off the Keweenaw peninsula and for two
days had a terrible battle ugainst the
storm.
Once the vessel was near Eugle Harbor,
but its master. Captain S. A. Lyons, was
afraid that It would be driven on the
rocks and he turned -about and headed for
the, open. In this maneuver the boat .was
necessarily in the trough of. the sea fur
a time, and tons upon tons of water fell
ou the decks, threatening to crush in the
hatches and flood the hold.
Captain Lyons, who remain! on the
j bridge during the entire forty-eight hours
; that the Angelina waa battling with the
tempest, said that the seas ran higher
than the vessel's smokestack.
CHICAGO, Dec. 1 The steamer German,
bound from Lake Superior to South Chi
cago, went ashore below Glencoe. fifteen
miles north of this city. In a blinding
snowstorm tonight. The agents of the
German at Chicago sent a tug to its re
lief. There. Is little apprehension of dan
ger to the crew, of twenty-five men. as
the wind is off shore and the crew la shel
tered by the bluffs. It was said It would
probably be necessary 'to Jettison a por

be pulled off.

Situation May fhanwe.
Furthermore, the government haa re
ceived leussurlng news concerning the new
outbreak of troops In the Baltic provinces.
M. Petrunkevltch, the aemetvolst and
president of the Moscow Agricultural so
ciety, and his colleagues" at ths Invitation
of Tremler Wllto participated In the sit
ting of the council of ministers this aft
ernoon, when the election law waa dis
cussed. This also Is Interpreted favorably,
but, nevertheless, It is realized that the
situation may at any moment change for
the worse should the leaders of the revo
lutionaries und social democrats, who seem
to hold the fate of the country In their
hands, suddenly alter, their plans.
Tho government version of tha arrest
of the soldiers of the guard at Tsurskoe
Selo places an entirely new complexion
on the affair. According to this version
the soldiers were incensed at the mutiny
in Scbustopol and at the public Insults to
which they wero constantly subjected, even
In the streets of TsarskiM Selo, and they
demanded to be led against the revolution
aries and intelllgencla In the capital. When
their officers tried to quiet them the men
became so obstreperous that they had to
be arrested.
j The reactionary influences at court ana
j the Imperial guard are making desperate
efforts to unhorse Count Wltte, to pro
claim a dictatorship and to fight tha revo
lution with bullets and bayonets. Their
candidates for dictator are General Count
Alexis Iguatleff and General Skallon, gov
ernor general of Poland.
