[7257 chsccmccctucc Resolutions on Cuba, thc’Monroe Doc- trine and Coast Fortifications. . SQUIRE’S N OTE, OF WARNING. Ila Says We Carry a Chip on Our Shoul- der In Blissful Ignorance of the Con- dition of Our Ports—Speaker Reed and the House Committees. WASHINGTON, Dec. 5,—As soon as the senate assembled today Mr. Mitchell (Rep, Oregon) rose to a question of priv- Ilege and presented the following letter: “To the senate of the United States: “The undersigned hereby claims the right to be ldmitted as a senator from the state of Delaware under an election by the legislature of said state on the 9th day of May, 1895, to fill the term of six years commencing on the 4th day of March, 1895, and herewith‘ presents evidence in support of his claim. “H. A. DU FONT.” Accompanying the letters were volu- minous documents from the officers of the Delaware legislature, reciting the circum- stances of Mr. Du Bont’s election. The documents included a certified copy of the proceedings of the legislature, affidavits by the speaker and clerk of the Delaware house of representatives. At this point Mr.‘ Gray (Dem., Dela— ware) submitted a request that, pending the determination of the case, Mr. Du Pont be accorded the privileges of the floor of Ihe senate. This graceful courtesy was acceded to without dissent, and the papers Were referred to the committee on privi- leges and elections. . Mr. Du Pont entered the chamber short- Iy after, accompanied by ex-Sonator Hig- gins cf Delaware, and was introduced to many of the Republican senators. Mr. Chandler (Rep, New Hampshire), presented a mass of petitions alleging election frauds in Alabama, and claiming .the election of Reuben F. Kolb as govern- or of that state. Petitions for the recognition of the Cu~ ban insurgents were offered by Mr. Sher- man (Bep., Ohio), Mr. McMillan (Rep., Michigan), Mr. Call (Dem.. Florida), and Mr. Quay (Rep, Pennsylvania). A Chip on Our Shoulder. Mr. Squire (Rep, Washington), intro- duced a. bill for fortification of Atlantic, Pacific and lake ports. On introducing this bill, Mr, Squire said the senate was being asked to extend recognition to Cuban belligerents and to firmly reassert the Monroe doctrine. “We are talking of these matters as though we had a chip on our shoulders,” said Mr. Squire, “and We go along in blissful ig- norance or inaction as to the unfortified condition of our ports.” Mr. Hoar (Rep, Massachusetts), offered the following: Resolved, That the senate will support the president in the most vigorous action he may deem necessary to take for the protection and security of American citizens in Turkey and to obtain redress for injuries committed upon 'such citizens there. . Resolved, That the president he desired to make known to the government of Turkey the strong feeling of regret and indignation with which the people of America. have heard of the injuries inflicted upon persons of the Christian faith in Turkey, and that the Amer- ican people cannot be expected to View with Indifference any repetition or continuance of such wrongs. The resolution went to the committee on foreign relations. ' Another resolution by Mr. Hoar, request- ing information from the president as to the correspondence with Turkey, was passed. The Cuban question was then taken up, on' Mr. Allen’s resolution for the recogni- tion of the Cuban insurgents, the strong assertion of the Monroe doctrine, and the annexation of outlying islands. Mr. Allen spoke of the strategic as well as the commercial value of Cuba. He urged the recognition of the rcvolutionists and the annexation of the island. Mr. Allen declared that the foreign policy of the United States had been a “hiss and a byword for the last 25 years.” He speci- fied the inaction in the case of Mrs. May; brick and ex-Consul Waller. The senator strongly urged the reasscrtion of the Men- roe doctrine, so broadened as to secure the ultimate withdrawal of monarchical dc- pendgencies from this continent. The resolution was temporarily laid aside and at 1:25 p. m. the senate went into executive session. The executive session lasted but ten minutes, after which the senate, at -1135 p. m., adjourned. ' The president today sent to the senate a number of recess appointments. They are all judiciary appointments that have been made since congress adjourned. ' One is William I. Marbury to be district attorney of Maryland, who failed of” confirmation in theiast congress, by reasdn of Senator German’s opposition, but was immediate- ly reappointed. THE HOUSE couuirrsss. Some of the Dimcultie’s With ‘Vhich Speaker Reed Has to Contend. Wasnmeron, Dec. 5.—-Members of a... house who have had interviews with Speaker Reed during the past two or three days on the subject of committee appoint- ments believe that thecommittee list will be announced before or not later than the 15th of the month. Formerly speakers have not been able to make their selec- tions before the Christmas holidays, as a general rule, but Mr. Reed has had the advantage of a ~year practically in which to make up his mind. He has said to sev- eral that he is anxious to have congress finish-its business and adjourn as soon as possible, and all the time he can save on committee selections will tend _to that re- sult. That he has not yet finished his list is apparent, because today he told- two or. three congressmen who talked with him about their committee assignmentsthat he wanted another interview with them. It is understood that one of the chief difliculties Mr. Reed is contending within: the appointments from his own state. Messrs. Dinghy, Boutelle and Milliken would caeh be entitlgito a chairmanship undbr o‘r’di’nfi’ry‘ cdnditions, because their are among the'oldest members in point of service. The naval affairs chairmanship would fall to Mr. Boutelle and public buildings to Mr. Millikan, but to have the speakership‘and three chairmanships given to a state with four'members might provoke feeling in the less favored dele- gations. ’ ‘ How to make an equitable adjustment of this matter and incur no resentment is about the most knotty problem with which the speaker has to deal, apart from a de~ cision of the .relative claims of Messrs. Dingley, Cannon and Henderson to the chairmanship of appropriatiOns, and nayne and Dalzell to ways and means. BRUTALI‘I‘Y 0N SHIPBOARD. 'Alleged Reasons \Vhy the American Sail- or VVill Soon Be Unknown. CHICAGO, Dec. 5.—A pamphlet called “The Red Record,” and containing 64 cases of brutality to, seamen by masters and mates of vessels, has just been issued by the National Seaman’s union, and is to be distributed among congressmen and senators at the present session. Out of the 64 cases recorded 14 deaths are reported under circumstances which are said to justify the charge of murder. Many cases are said to have resulted in the loss of limbs, eyes and teeth and other injuries of apermanent character. Only three con- victions were secured in the trials of chi cars. The remainder of the' cases were either “exonerated” or dismissed on the ground of “lack of evidence, ” “justifiable discipline,” or, in the case of the seamen’s death, because “no official" charge had been made. ” It is charged that cases of cruelty to boys are 91‘. especial frequency, and that for this reason young Americans refuse to go aboard ships, and the ultimate result will be that the American sailor will soon be unknown. . Secretary Elderkin, over whose signa- ture “The Red Record” is printed, says that every one 'of the cases mentioned has been fully investigated, evidence of both sides being heard, and that their truthful- ness cannot be questioned. French Duty z... Wheat. LONDON, Dec. 5.'—A Paris dispatch to The Times says that the tariff committee has agreed upon a bill which will empow- er the government to apply a sliding scale to the import duty on corn proportionate to the market price.

The Course of , President In the Co ’versy. »- LONDON, Dec. 5. —Th’e:§reply of the Man quis of Salisbury to the:. note of Secretary Diney on- the Venezuelan question is. on board the White Star line steamship Z—Bri- tannic due at New York on Friday next. It replies at length to?~ r. Olney’s argu- ment, but the essence o p the document is that Great Britain refuses to submit to’ arbitration any of the territory within the Schomburgk line. j _ Some surprise is expressed at the fact that the reply is not dent thrpugh the United States embassy," but the United States ambassador, Mr. Thomas F. Bay- ard, explains that this is in accord with diplomatic usage. Referring to President Cleveland’s mes- sage to congress, the St. James Gazette says: “There is nothing, whatever of“the jingo in Mr. Cleveland’s message. In spite of all assertions to the contrary, there is not the least probability that the United States will put fany obstacles in the way of a proper settlement in Venej zuela. ” I, The Pall Mall Gazette remarks: “So far as our relations with America are con-" earned, the message is not likely to raise- guy unpleasant questions; But we fail to see how Mr. Cleveland’s definition of Monroeism applies to Venezuela.” The Globe says: “There is nothing sur- prising in the fact that the Monroe doc- trine bulksrather largely in the message, nor in the hostile tone gadopted toward England. Isn’t the presidential election drawing nigh? Pulling the lion’s tail may look to the old world acurious way of trying to catch fish, but it has been found to answer in the turgid waters of Ameri~ can politics.” ' Some One Must Back Down. WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.—-;There is reason to believe that the president was aware before his message wentfito congress that Lord Salisbury’s response to Embassador Bayard’s representations touching the Venezuelan boundary dispute would be unfavorable, but the fa ' was probably withheld from congess 13‘ cause that por- tion of the message relati’iig to Venezuela had already been completed, and the pres- ident desires to make it the subject of a special communication that will give the matter the importance it deserves. If the reply is of the nature stated, then it is realized here that there can be but one line of action open to the president. He has in his note of instructions to Mr. Bayard simply carried out the expressed 'wish of congress as exhibited in the reso- lution adopted toward the close of the last session. He has presented the issue plain- ly and divested it of all of the extraneous issues that were sought to be included by the British government. The question of a claim for reparation for the arrest of British officials by the Venezuelans, being regarded by the presiv dent as directly dependent upon the main question of tho-solution of the boundary dispute, was not allowed to complicate the issue, nor was the attempt to assert juris‘ diction over the best part of the land claimed—namely, that~ lying eastward of the shifting Scliomburgk line. Having received a negative reply to his direct inquiry, whether or not Great Brit- ain was prepared to submit to arbitration all of the territory in dispute, for there can be no doubt that the president has been informed by cable of the nature of the communication coming by mail, there remains for him but one course—namely, to submit the matter to congress for its further direction. Beyond this point the president cannot go alone, for to be consistent he would be obliged to notify the' British govern- ment that any encroachment upon Vene- zuelan soil would be regarded by the United States as a hostile act, and that is so perilously close to an open declaration of war that it might be construed as an infringement upon the constitutional power of congress. ' Venozuhla Satisfied. WASHINGTON, Dec. 5. — Minister An- drade of Venezuela is highly gratified at that‘feature of the president’s message re- ferring to Venezuela. ’ The minister cabled the essential points on Venezuela to the government authorities at Caracas last night and mailed copies of the full mes- sage. Mr. Andrade says it is a clear and forcible statement, which will meet with the most cordial reception by the govern- ment and people Of Venezuela. St. Paul May Get the G. A. R. Encampment. ST. PAUL, Dec. 5.—Commander In Chief Walker, Adjutant Robbins, Quar- termaster General Burbank, Assistant Adjutant General Smock and the execu— tive committee of the council of adminis- tration of the G. A. R. arrived here yes- terday and met the local committee to discuss the encampment of 1896. The Hotel Ryan was headquarters. The plans have been gone over carefully and the lo- cal committee instructed as to its duties It was found that the St. Paul body had . already been actively at work, and that it was confident of its. ability to raise the ' $75,000 necessary to secure the encamp- ment.‘ The Fair Estate. SAN FRANCISCO,.DeO. 5.-—The Examin- er says the‘ collateral heirs to the estate of the late Senator Fair have sold their interests to the children for $400,000. By the terms of the sale the heirs abandon all of the rightsguaranteed under the trust clause of the will. The compromise is said to have been effected to give the di- rect heirs an important advantage in a trial before a jury. A Dry Goods Man Dead. ,_ SYRACUSE, Dec. 5.-—John B. Ginty of the firm of J. B.
