Tin- house will undertake nothing 'more than the passage of soma of minor Importance nnd the comple te i of Its work on the iistrlct of Colum- Tl, a appropriation hill, which already has ccen under consideration for twa or three (lays. It has been hoped that tho army supply bill might be taken np and disposed of be for adjournment, but that program lias been abnndomd In the face of the departure of so many members. It Is expected that very little time will be necessary for the disposal of the District bill, and with It out of the way the house.

Lurton to bo associate Justice of the su preme court of the United States. The nomination will be reported favorably to the senate on Monday and an effort will be made to have It acted upon. The pres- ent Indications are that there will be no ob jection to such a course and that Mr. Lur ton's confirmation will take place before the beginning of the holidays, thus enabling him to take his scat on the supreme bench upon the reconvening of that body after the holidays. It Is not expected that a quorum will be present either Monday or Tuesday, and If such should prove to be the case a call for an aye and no vote would have tho effect of postponing action until January. No one seems willing to accept this responsi bility, and Senator Bacon of the Juldlolary committee, wha has charge of the nomi nation, la hopeful that the expediency of such a call will not be resorted to. Undoubtedly there are a number of sen ators Wh6 consider' M r. Lurton's age' to "be against him, but their objection does not BO to the extent of pronounced opposition. I.nrton's Corporation Leaalnffs. Some Investigation Is being made of Judge Lurton's decisions as a circuit Judge, with a view to determining the foundation of the charge that they arc in the interest of corporations, and a statement covering this phase of tho question probably will be presented to the senate when the subject in taken up for consideration. In the main, the disposition is to allow , the president to have his way In the selec tion of a successor to Justice Peckham, but many of the senators are disposed to make a record regarding Mr. Lurton's ihortcomlngs. If he has any. If It were a question of success or de feat, Mr. Lurtoti would have many cham pions and there Is no doubt that he would be confirmed on a vote. The only question Involved at this time Is the advisability of lelay. He would be confirmed soon after the holidays, even though the question ihould be deferred so long. Iloth houses will adjourn on Tuesday for two weeks, the day for the reconvening being fixed for Tuesday, January t.

O., Dec. 19 The fishing tug I'ennlope of Cleveland burned this after noon four miles off shore. The crew of three escaped, after a battle with Ice floes In the bitter cold which almost cost them their Uvea. The boat, which belonged to A. II. Lang- ell of Cleveland, was bound for Its winter quarters at St. Clair, Mich. This afternoon Captain Charles Inches discovered fire In the woodwork above the engine room, and In oly a few moments his position and that of the engineer and fireman became un tenable. While they were endeavoring to east loose the larger of two yawls the yaw caught fire. They were forced to take refugo In the other, a smaller one, where there was barely room for the three to crawl Into. The sides of the tug were In flames be fore they launched their little craft. There had been no time to don extra wraps and t the day was one of the coldest of the winter. The men. their oars and theii beards were crusted with Ice before thej had gone a mile. Two miles off shore then encountered shore Ice too thin to beai their weight, but thick enough to Impede the progress of the boat. Through this they were compelled to break their way.

On the other hand, the association of support against the effectB of any unfavorable In fluences was taken to prove that the con trol of the market was still strongly en tret ched In the hands of the coterie of powerful capitalists wMch has been credited with the direction of the specula tion for many months. It was with the probable future plans of this element that speculative surmise and conjecture concerned th mselves princi pally, ns betweon a determination to push the price advance further In the coming year or an effort to distribute heavy hold ings on the first favot-able opportunity af forded by an awakened general demand for stocks. The fact of enormous undis tributed accumulations In the hands of market organizations Is generally assumed An Interruption to their plans for market operations during the fall by the recall of foreign credits and the policy of thi Bank of England Is Inferred from the known course of events. Various con Urgencies that may serve as obstacles to the completion of their plans are taken account of In the estimate of the future. There Is much discussion of the pending supremo court decisions in the American Tobacco and the Standard (XI cases and it Is feared the uncertainty surrounding tbe expected decisions may harm the stock speculation, and even In some degree regu lar business activities. The strength of the foreign exchange market pointed to an outgo of gold direct to London during the coming week. A rpeclal demand Is due to the payments to be made to foreign holders of American securities. The action of the London mar ket raises a new question, In addition, whether the effects of the English polltl cal crisis had been sufficiently allowed for, The possibility of continued withdrawals of gold from New York In January is canvassed. The labor problem Is kept in view by the formulation of demands for Increased wages by railroad employes, tho declara tion of war against the United States Steel corporation by the Pittsburg labor confer ence and by the general consideration of the high cost of living. The purchases of several independent telephone lines bv J Pierpont Morgan kept alive the conviction that extensive capital combinations were still being worked. Aged Man is Burned to 'Death Thomas V.

BAN ON INFECTED PRODUCTS Unlrf Herds of Nation to Come Under Ilnrenu of National Inspection Heads Give Information. (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON. Dec. 19. ((Special.) Twenty-five years ago the bureau of ani mal Industry was first established, with Dr. Salmon as ltB first chief. A careful exam ination of all the cattle In and around the District of Columbia was made, with the resultant discovery of hundreds of cases of pleuro-pneutnonia among the herds which supplied the m'lk to the Inhabitants of Washington. Those herds were slaughtered by wholesale and apparently this vicinity has been free of diseased cattle since. But within the last few days the veterinarians of tho Department of Agriculture, In con nection with the health authorities of the district, have discovered that the milk sup ply of Washington Is tainted to a very large extent caused by the presence of tubercu losis among the dairy cattle. The census figures show that there arc In the District of Columbia itself about 1,600 dairy cows, and it has been demon strated that at least one-third of these are afflicted with bovine tuberculosis to such on extent that they are being slaughtered by wholesale. The same condition Is said to exist on the farms of Maryland and Vir ginia, from which the milk supply of Wash ington Is largely drawn, and In consequence there Is a scare among tlie householders. Vigorous efforts are being made to stump out the diseasa and to prevent the sale of milk from Infected cattle. The highest medical authorities hold that bovine tuber culosis can be communicated to human be ings through the consumption of milk and dairy products, and that Is especially true in the case of infants and small children. Tuberculosis Hospital. There has been recently opened In this district a well-equipped hospital for the sold treatment of patients suffering from the "white plague," and It is natural, therefore, that the efforts to cure the disease should be supplemented by rigorous preventative measures. The tuberculosis germ makes itself manifest In Its early stage In the udder of a milch cow and It is known that the germ multiplies and spreads more rap Idly In the richer portion of the milk, par ticularly In the butter fats. As butter Is made by a simple mechanical process with out tbe aid of heat, It naturally follows that butter made from the produce of an I Infected cow la even more deleterious to lealth than the fresh milk. But butter may come from any portion (Continued on Second Page.)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19. A comprehen sive enlargement of the activities of the Department of 'Agriculture In the admin istration of the pure food act is contem plated in orders issued today. Their ob ject is to inaugurate for ports where the department has no chemical laboratory, a systematic inspection of foods, as Is done at the ports where such facilities exist. For this purpose there has been established a complete chain of laboratory districts, with headquarters, at the principal ports, to which will be sent samples of Imported goods when found necessary. By the application of this practice there will be referred to government chemists for examination all imports regarding the right to enter, which, under the pure food law, any doubt may exist in the minds of the customs Inspectors at the smaller places. Officials say the new method will tend to do away with any tendency to Import In violation of law at the smaller port where there ore no laboratories Instead of at the larger ports, although their ulti mate destination Is the same. Headquar ters are to be located among other places, at Galveston, Denver, Kansas City, Mo., Omaha, San Francisco and Seattle.

Two or thre acres of a chaos of packing cartes that Is all that remalns of the third National Com exposition. From the ends of the country on Sunday came Ward K. Meigh of Walla Walla, j Wush., and J. B. Slckels of Dcerticld. Maja., to see the corn show yesterday. They were welcomed In to see what remained by AnslKtant general Manager Paisley. The big exposition building resounds with the noise of the packers and the army which Is engaged In thd destruction of the decorative fabric of the show. The workers started when the gates closed at 11 'o'clock Saturday night and they will be busy for two days and nights more removing the exhibits and appliances of tho late exposi tion. About the exposition grounds yesterday a few of the officials lingered to see the last sad rites of the exposition which for two weeks had been the scene of so much gayety and activity. The packing of the dainty models of the government exhibit will take tho experts In charge five or six days. Each tiny wax representation and moled must be tucked away In its very own box or compartment. Tho government's display will be shipped back to the Department of Agriculture at Washington. Tho remnants of many of the exhibits have been given to charity. The needy of the city will get the benefit of many bushels of grr.in and bits of fuel. A bleak, sad scene Is presented by the music hall, stripped of the finery of decora tion In national flags which Gus Renz of Ak-Sar-Uen fame had designed. Tho rough work of the gaily illumined stalls and plat forms Is exposed and tbe glamor of the big show has departed. Most of the exhibitors have left the city. Yesterday Fred Palln and J. It. Overstreet of Franklin, Ind., the winners of the two foremost corn prizes In the world class competition, left for their homes. The dismantling of the exposition's tempo rary structures will begin as soon as the packing of the exhibits is completed. Clay Center Wins Debate, HARVARD, Neb.. Dec. 19. (Special.)
