THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE.
Reception In House and Senate—A Mon-
. roegDoctrine Resolution Introduced .
as Well as One Giving Recog-
nition to Insurgents.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-—The excitement
and confusion attending the opening ses-
sion of the house yesterday had almost en-
tirely vanished when that body met at
noon today. The crowds in the galleries
had thinned out, the flowers had disap-
peared, members lolled and chatted easily
in their revolving chairs and the house as-
sumed something like a normal appear-
ance. The Rev. H. N. Coudon, the new
chaplain of the house, delivered the invo-
cation after Speaker Reed had rapped the
members to order.
' The Rev. Mr. Coudon is a Universalist
minister from Port Huron, Mich. He is
tall and gaunt, and the tones of his deep
voice are clear and pleasing. Like the
present senate chaplain, who for so many
years looked after the Spiritual welfare of
the house, Rev. Mr. Coudon is totally
blind.
At the conclusion of the reading ofthe
journal Mr. Payne (Rep, N. Y.), chain
man of the committee appointed to wait
upon the president, reported that Mr.
Cleveland had sent his respectful saluta-
tions to congress and would communicate
in writing. Immediately thereafter Mr.
Pruden, the president’s executive clerk,
appeared with the message, which the
speaker forthwith Laid before the house.
As the clerk commenced its- reading the
house became quiet and the members lis-
tened, some intently, but all respectfully,
to the words of the chief executive.
As the reading of the message pro-
gressed interest in it seemed to flag. Not
during the reading was there a single man-
ifestation of approval or disapproval, but
at the conclusion of the‘reading, which oc-
cupied an hour and a half, there was a
slight scattering of applause.
Five thousand copies of the message
were ordered printed.
In the Senate.
The senate galleries were again well
filled, but there was not the struggle for
place incident to the opening. The floral
offerings continued to come in, Mr. Bur-
rows being remembered with agreat clus-
ter- of yellow Chrysanthemums and Mr.
..‘Call with a. large standing wreath of pink
and red roses. ' .
As soon as the formal proceedings Were
over Mr. Vilas' and Mr. Allison, the com-
mittee appointed to wait on the president,
stepped together into the middle aisle,
where Mr. Vilas addressed the presiding
officer and said, “The president desires
us to convey his respectful salutations to
the houses of congress and to say that he
will immediately communicate his views
in writing to congress.”
Then Mr. Pruden, the executive clerk,
stepped forward with the message in hand
and made the. formal transfer of it to the
senate. The clerk of the senate, Mr. Cox,
at once began reading the document. The
senators showed marked attention and in-
terest during the reading of the message.
The treatment of the British-Venezuela
question received marked attention. The
statement of the status of the Cuban con-
flict was specially interesting, as it gave
the first official utterance on the subject.
There was a thinning out of the attend-
ance on the floor after the first half hour
of the reading, as senators had printed
copies. .
Mr. Lodge (Rep) introduced a‘ resolu-
tion in the senate forcibly approving the
Monroe doctrine, and Mr. Gall (Dem.,
Florida) introduced a resoluiton directing
that the insurgents of Cuba be accorded
belligerent riglms.

The Venezuelan Episode.
WASHINGTOQI, Dec. 4.——The first move-
ment in congress upon the Venezuelan
boundary dispute came today in the form
of a resolution introduced in the house by
Representative Livingstone, the Georgia
Democratic member whose name has been
somewhat identified with the question by
reason of his resolution recommending
arbitration, which was adopted by the last
congress, and his recent visit to Venezuela.
The resolution recites that by a resolution
of the last congress it was recommended
that the boundary dispute be submitted to
arbitration, that the action was brought
to the attention of her‘ rita'nnie maj esty’s
government by the president, ceurteously
and with kindly intent, and declares that
her majesty’s government “has failed to
give the prompt consideration to the im-
portant request contained in that joint
resolution or to answer the same in any
manner, such as was due and becoming to
the dignity of the United States as a great
nation and to the friendly. relations exist
ing between the two governments.”
The resolution continues that after this
communication the colonial secretary in-
structed the government of British Guiana
. to take forcible possession of certain terri-
tory of Venezuelainvolved in the dispute,
“an act which has been ofiicially declared
to be the manifestation of an unfriendly
disposition toward the United States.”
In conclusion it provides for a. joint
committee of two senators and three
members to investigate the facts and rec-
ommend proper action to congress, to vin-
dicate and preserve‘the dignity and rights
of the United States in the premises.

THE BEIGHSTAG 0PEN ED.
The Speech From the Throne—Efforts Ex-
erted For Peace.
BERLIN, Dec. 4.—Tho reichstag was
opened today. The speech from the throne
was read by Prince Hohenlohe, the chem
cellor. After referring to the anniversaries
of the victories of 1870-1 and urging the
reiehstag, in conjunction with the federal
government, to continue to build up the
united empire, the foundations of which
were laid 25 years ago, the speech, refer-
ring to foreign affairs, says: .
“The friendly relations of the empire
with all foreign powers continue un-
changed. In conjunction with Russia and
France, Germany has endeavored to pre-
vent further complications which were
threatened, by the war between the two

great east Asiatic empires. Our endeavors
have been attended with success, thanks
to the judicious moderation displayed by
the Japanese government. and will con-
tribute‘ to preserving and enlarging the
field of peaceful labor for Germany‘s in-
dustry and trade.
"The deplorable events in the Turkish
empire and the situation created thereby
have our serious attention. Faithful to
its alliances and to the tried principles of
German policy, the empire is ever ready
to co-operate with the powers, when called
upon by their interests, to work for the
furtherance of the cause of peace; The
unanimity of the decision of all the'pow.
era to respect existing treaties and support
the government of the sultan 'in the es.
tablishment of the ordered state of things
justifies the hope that they will not be
wanting in success.”

c'o'd'e' ancestries of. bills intended to pro-
mote the welfare of the industrial classes,
including the establishment of artisan
chambers, the speech refers to the proposed

possible the influence of- dealings .on the
beerse in determining prices, the dangers
of which are frequently felt, to the detri-
ment of the national well being.

, RUFUS PI CREAM NAMED.
The Albany Judge Nominated For the
United States Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.—The president
today nominated Rufus W. Peekham of
New York to belassociate justice of the
United States supreme court to succeed
the late Howell E. Jackson of Tennessee.
He also nominated Richard Olney to be
secretary of state ’and Judson Harmon at.
torney general. - ' ,
Rufus W. Peckham is a resident of Al-
bany and judge of the court of appeals-of
New York. .His :npme has been men-
tioned frequently-for the ofiice to which
he was nominated today. It is believed
his nomination will be satisfactory to Sen-
ator Hill, whose opposition was éuccessful
in preventing the confirmation of Messrs.
' Hornblower and QWheeler Peckham, the
two N ew Yorkers whose names were’sent
in by President Cleveland for the supreme
White of Louisiana. ' Senator Hill on sev-
eral occasions has, spoken very highly of
the new nominee. The nomination will
first go to the senate judiciary' committee
which always scrutinizes closely the record
of persons named for the supreme court
bench, but in view 'of the high reputation
of Judge Peckham, it is believed confir-
mation will follow as speedily as consist-
cut with the importance of the office. ‘
Judge Rufus ng‘jPeckham was born in
Albany in 1837 and is consequently 58
years of age. He is a son of the late Rufus
W. Peckham of Albany, a former judge of
the court of apppals. and a brother of
Wheeler H. Peckham of New York city,
with whom Mr. Cleveland is also friendly.
Judge Peckham is a member of the ap-
pellate court of t e state and before his
elevation to that : osition in November,
1880, was active in Albany politics, being
at one time their: der of the Democratic
party in the city. {He was elected to the
court of appeals bdnch in Noyember, 1886,
and his term will not expire until Novem-
ber, 1000. The salary is $10,000. He is a
warm personal friend of Mr. Cleveland
and also of Mr. Cleveland’s friend, J udgo
D. Cady Herrick. ' ’
A SEGRETA RY ”WANTED.”
Lawrence Bur an $25,000 Are Very Much
In Demand 31:) Philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 4.-—Lawrence Bur,
who had acted as secretary for nine large
German building associations in this city,
has disappeared, :after making an ac
knowledgment to the solicitor of the asso-
ciations that he was short in his accounts.
The solicitor estimates the shortage at
$25,000. Bur wasTfnot under bonds. He
handled no cash legitimately, but many
of the association iembers had such con-
fidencevin hi" .' they paid money to
him instead of to the treasurers at the
regular meetings. It is supposed that
Bur’s method was to hold back the money
paid to him for the redemption of loans,
meantime continuing to pay the dues.
Two of the associations affected are the
Second German Southeastern and the
Columbia. The names of the others have
not been made public. The nine associa-
tions involved are said to have a member-
ship aggregating between 3,000 and 4,000,
and it is claimed that none of them can
be seriously enough affected to cause its
dissolution, although it might delay the
winding up_ of some of them. Five of
them are old series associations, and one
was to have wound up within three
months, and all the others within three
years.
A Minister Causes an Uproar.
MILWAUKEE, Dec. 4.—-Rev. C. H. Hed-
lor, pastor of the Second German Methodist
church, caused an uproar in the Minis-
ters’ association meeting by declaring that
ministers had no right to meddle in secu-
lar afi‘airs‘ and that the cause of religion
would be a. great deal better off if the
ministers would confine themselves to
preaching the gospel.
