Washington, Dec.4.—The Senate worked to-day while the House en joyed a recess, but most of the bus iness transacted w'as of a routine character. Mr. Hoar showed a disposition toward co-operation with the President in dealing with the Turkish question by offering a resolution denouncing the recent atrocities in Turkey and assuring the executive branch of cordial en dorsement by Congress of a vigor ous course for the protection of American citizens in Turkey and the suppression of the barbarities against Christianity. Hoar did not ask immediate action on the resolution, but he secured the adoption of another resolution re questing the President to submit to the Senate all correspondence relating to Turkey. The resolu tion made specific inquiry as to what American Consuls are absent from fheir posts by reason of the disorder prevailing.

Penny & Co. for the next fifteen days is one of the sales which give people of small means an opportunity to obtain an excellent grade of goods at prices which ordinarily they would have to give for cheap grades.

The stock is full and if you call at once you can be easily suited. Everybody knows the stock of goods carried contains ar ticles for ladies, men, and boys, girls and babies, and when such great inducement is offered every body and their relatives should call and purchase.
