Reception of the President’s Long
Message. '
NEW MEMBERS SWORN IN
{Crowd in the Galleries and a Good Attend-
ance on the Floor. Scenes at the Open-
ing. Gen. XVhecler Greeted “’ith an
Ovation in the House.
Vv’ashington, Dec. 6.——Congress con-
vened promptly at noon yesterday. The
galleries of both houses were crowded.
.There was a good attendance of sena-
tors and representatives.
In the Senate the galleries filled ear-
1y, many of the spectators being visi-
tors to Washington, who had embrac—
ed the opportunity to witness a con—
gressional opening.
On the Senate floor the members’
desks were loaded, as usual, with mag—
nificent flowers. Chrysanthemums
were the ruling variety.
Mr. Morgan, Democrat of Alabama,
was the first senator to enter the
chamber, and was closely followed by
Mr. Morril], Republican of Vermont,
the oldest member of the body. The
members then came in rapidly in twos
and threes.
Above, in the diplomatic gallery, just
before the Senate convened, appeared
Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British am-
bassador, Mr. Wu Ting Fang, the
Chinese minister, and attaches of his
legation and many other members of
the diplomatic corps.
On the floor was Lord Herschel, the
chief representative of Great Britain on
the joint high commission, accompan—
ied by Mr. T. Jefferson Coolidge of
Massachusetts.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Sir Richard
Cartwright, Sir Louis Davies and Mr.
C. Charlton, members of the commis-
sion, were also on the floor.
Promptly at twelve o'clock Vice Pres-
ident Hobart entered and rapped for
order. The Rev. Mr. Milburn, the blind
chaplain, offered prayer. He said:
“we pray that thy blessing may be
with the queen regent of Spain and
her young son, and on her nation. May
thy heavenly grace come to secure and
uplift and uphold that stricken people.
Grant that all good may be given unto
us, to our motherland, and to all na—
tions; and may we walk hand in hand
with our brethren across the sea to the
heights of Christian civilization.”
A call of the enate showed the
presence of sixty-seven members. The.
usual resolutions were offered and
adopted.
Mr. Merrill. Republican of Vermont,
offered that to appoint a committee to
inform the president that the Senate
was in session.
Mr. Hale, Republican of Maine. hat
fixing the hour of daily meeting at 12
o’clock noon.
Mr. Mth‘ide, Republican of Oregon.
presented the credentials of his newly
elected colleague. Mr. Simon, Repub~
lican. to whom the vice president ad—
ministered the oath of office.
Pending the receipt of the president’s
message, the Senate, on motion of Mr.
Allison, Republican of Iowa, took a re-
cess of thirty minutes. .
At 1.25 p. m. the committee returned,
and Major Pruden, executive clerk of
the president, presented the message.
Vice President Hobart laid it before
the Senate at once, and its reading
began at 1.28 p. m. The text of the
message was given our readers last
evening.
In the House.
Exactly at noon Speaker Reed called
the House of Representatives to order.
The floral decorations on the desks of
members were as abundant as usual.
The galleries were crowded fully an
hour before the opening of the session,
and the corridors were filled to over-
flowing by noon.
Even the private galleries were crow-
ded an hour before the hour for com
vening. They contained many persons
distinguished in social and official life;
The members began arriving just
before eleven o’clock. For those who
had been defeated in the November
elections there wcrc 11.12 usual expres-
sions of sympathy; for those who had
been victorious the usual words of
congratulation. .
Some of the members held regular
levees as they appeared. This was
markedly true of ‘W. A. Stone, Repub-
lican of Pennsylvania, Mr. Sayers, De—
mac-rat of Texas, and Mr. McMillin,
Democrat of Tennessee, each of whom
was chosen governor of his respective
state 521:3 the recent election.
Here and there through the throng
was an oilicer in full uniform. an un—
.wonted figure on the floor, and a vivid
reminder of the war. 9,
At 11.45 the floor was cleared of all
those not entitled to the privilege. The
leaders, as a rule, were late in arriv-
ing, but as they appeared they were
surrounded and cordially greeted.
Mr. Ilitt, Republican of Illinois. the
chairman of the committee on foreign
affairs; Mr. Dalzell, Republican of
Pennsylvania, one of the members of
the committee on rules, and Mr. Hen—
derson, Republican of Iowa, of the
same committee, were each given an
ovation.
Mr. .lfling'ley, of
Republican Main e.
the“ floor leader of the majority, and .
Mr. Bailey, Democrat of Texas, at
present the minority leader, came in
simultaneously from the lobbies or:
their respective sides.
Mr. lailcy went immediately to his
seat, and Mr. Dingley, as soon as he
could disengage himself from the
friends who crowded about him, cros-
sed over to the Democratic side and
shook hands with Mr. Bailey.
As soon as tht session was called to
order the blind chaplain offered prayer.
Just after the prayer General W‘heeler
Democrat of Alabama, came in, and
took his seat in the row immediately
in front of the speaker's rostrum. He
was instantly surrounded by half a
hundred members, and received the
ovation of the day.
The roll call developed the presence
of 267 members, 179 being a. quorum.
Three new members were sworn in.
Mr. Grosvenm, Republican of Ohio,
presented Charles Dick, Republican,
elected to fill the vacancy caused by
the death of Mr. Northway; Mr. Allen,
Democrat of Massachusetts. presented
Thomas Spight, Democrat, elected .to
fill the vacancy caused by the resigna-
tion of Mr. Sullivan, who was elected
.. l
to the Senate, and Mr. Grow, Republi-
can of Pennsylvania, presented Wil-
liam H. Graham, elected to fill the va-
cancy caused by the resignation of Mr.
Stone, recently elected governor of
Pennsylvania. '
Mr. Dingley offered the customary
resolution for the appointment of a
commmittee of three to join a similar
committee of the Senate to wait upon
the president and inform him that the
House was ready to receive any com-
munication he had to make.
It was unanimously adopted and the
speaker appointed Messrs. Dingley,
Cannon, Republican of Illinois, and
Bailey, Democrat of Texas.
A resolution was also adopted infor—
ming the Senate that the House was
ready to proceed to business.
The House then took a recess until
1.30 to await the arrival of the presi-
dent’s message.
When the House reconvened after
the recess the committee appointed to
wait upon the president reported and
Major Pruden, the president’s execu-
tive clerk, announced the message of
the president. ,
the message was contained was bro—
ken by the speaker himself and it was
immediately laid before the House.
The members on the floor and the
spectators gave the reading their most
earnest attention. '
{FARMER’S NATIONAL CONGRESS.
Its Eighteenth Annual ”Meeting to be Held
in Fort Worth, Tex.
Fort Worth, Tex., Dec. 6.———The eight-
eenth annual Farmers’ National Con-
gress convenes here to-day. This con-
gress has, according to Hon. William
Hatch, for many years chairman of
the house committee on agriculture,
more influence with the Congress of
the United States than all other agri-
cultural bodies combined, the reason
of this being because of the method of
selecting delegates thereto and the fact
that its findings and recommendations
are non-partisan in nature.
The governors of the different states
and territories have selected twelve
thousand delegates to this meeting,
comprising the flower of the Union’s
agricultural class.

THE PEACE NEGOTIATIONS.
liiodiiicntlon of Some of the
Tcrcms.
Paris, Dec. G.—The American peace
commissioners held a long conference
yesterday morning, beginning at ten
o‘clock, and only had a brief recess for
luncheon before going to the foreign
office to meet the Spanish commission-
ers at three o’clock in the afternoon.
The Americans, it is supposed, have
changed the form, if not the substance.
of some of their demands, as a result
of their deliberations during the last
three Secretary Moore of tht.-
United States commission was engaged
far into the night in revising the draf:
of the treaty of peace. I

leaving only the wording of: the treaty
for discussion.
Rapid V."-
Norfolk, 'Va., Dec. 0.—The dredging
of the channel from Hampton Roads
to the Norfolk navy yard was com.
pleted yesterday, seven months ahead
of the contract time.
The channel is now thirty-one feet
deep and 450 feet wide, permitting the
‘largcst vessels in the navy to come
i up for repairs.
The contractors had until June, 139’),
; to finish the dredging.
l Thirty—three vessels of war are now
, here, 2,500 men are employed, and the
monthly pay roll is $130,000. The me-
chanics have two thousand signatures
to their petition for extra pay during
the war rush for extra work, which
will be presented to Secretary of the
Navy Long.

CURRENT COMMENT.
Hawaii paid her obligation to Japan,
and retired with balanced accounts.
The life of the island republic was not
very long, but it was distinctly busi-
mess-like and honorable.
An emigrant from the blue grass
region to the Klondike gold fields has
written home that a man can live bet-
ter and save money by working for $1
a day in old Kentucky than be can by
digging for the precious metal] in
Alaska.
Sliaftcr is another of the exceptions
to the .rule that fat men are inert and
slotht‘ul. Shafter’s case is such a
startling exception that it would seem
to be enough to upset the rule. By
the way, are fat men really slothful?
What is your experience?
Medical treatment by music is the
system adopted by a woman practi-
tioner in New York. ' She 'clziinls that
the remedial influences of music are
important and that the nervous organ-
ization can be stimulated or soothed,
and permanently braced up, by the
proper selection of compositions and
instruments. That the nerves can be
irritated by music at unseemly hours
is a fact legally established. The
other theory ought to have a chance.
After all, the best “school for the
soldier” is in,the field when strenuous
figli'ting is on. Gen. Miles, the head
of the army, was a clerk in Boston
when he began his military career.
Gen. Shaffer was a farmer when he
went into the army during the civil
war. The best place to learn how to
fight appears to be not in a military
school, though that li'as its advantages,
but on the lines where real fighting is
in progress.
A novel‘ sensation to be soon ex-
perienced will be that of buying coffee
grown on American soil. No doubt
some differences of flavor will be
found in the product of Porto Rico,
Hawaii and the Philippines. There
are over 200 coffee plantations in Ha-
waii. IL 1896 Porto Rico exported
over 58,000,000 pounds of coffee, val-
ued c; 2:13.373000. The most of the
Portc Rican crop has hitherto been
consumed in Spain and Cuba.
Secretary of the Navy Lon-g an-
nounces that in awarding the cou-
tl'acts for the three new battle-ships,
preference will be given to bids offer-
ing to guarantee the greatest speed
and coal endurance, and each vessel
must be able to steam 5,432 knots at
a. moderate pace. That would carry
a ship to Europe and back again, or
from Honolulu to the coast of China.
Events of the war with Spain have
induced all navy departments to pro—
vide a higher speed for battle-ships
about to be constructed. The new bat-
tie-ship Missouri will be at least two
knots faster than any vessel of her
class in commission in our navy.
Moncure D. Conway, who has long
made a special study of \Vashington’s
life, says there is no truth whatever
in The tradition that Frederick the
Great transmitted a sword to Wash-
ington with the message: “From the
oldest General in the world to the
greatest.” Carlyle told Mr. Conway
that there is not the slightest founda-
tion for the story, though it had found
its way into several histories. Nor
was Frederick the first sovereign
to recognize the independence of
the United States. In fact, he never
recognized in but allowed the Hes-
sians to be sent to America in the ser-
vice. of King: George.
Some of the English sea captains of
the last century received immense
sums of prize money during the \vars
with Spain and France. Commodore
Anderson in one cruise captured Span-
ish vessels worth $5,000,000, of which
his share was $350,000. Two years
later Capt. James Talbot realized
52000.0()0 for himself in twelve months.
Capt. Powual's share from one Span-
ish treasure ship in 1762 was $325,-
000; his three Lieutenauts received
$05,000 each, and ., 320,000 went to the
Admiral and flag officers who were on
the station, though not present all: the
capture. Those were the days when
Spanish- ships were loaded with treas—
ure wrestcd from the always unfor-
tunate colonists.
Admiral Ccrvcra states in his official
report on the destruction of his ships
that the preparedness of our fleet was
fatal to lhis plans. This readiness was
based on the most vigilant work in
tile fire rooms. An officer connected
with the engineer corps of the battle-
ship Texas says the standing orders
were to be able to go ahead at a mo-
ment’s notice, which required the ut-
most care in watching the fires and
turning the engines occasionally to free
them fromlwater. But this long strain
was rewarded when the general alarm
sounded on July 3, and the engines of
the fleet soon worked at their maxi-
mum. The temperaturc in the lower
engine rooms of the Texas was 130
degrees, and in the upper 130 degrees.
When naval heroism and effectiveness
are the theme, the men below decks
deserves a full share of considera-

PETTY ECONOMIES IN GERMAMV.
Racks f or Cigar Stumps \Vhere Smoking ll
Not Allowed.
An American in Munich writes 40 a
New York paper concerning “German
thrift." with examples of petty: econ—
omies he has seen in Germany, and
that strike Americans as emmordi-
nary. He tells of a stout German gen-
tleman who came into the lobby of
one of the picture-galleries of Munich
one day last summer puffing a cigar.
After depositing his hat and umbrella.
he looked around uneasily. Big signs
on the entrance doors to the gallery
warn-ed him that no smoking was al—
lowed. Finally llis face lighted up as
he strode over to one corner and de-
posited llis lmlf—linished cigar in a sort
of metal rack fastened to the wall.
“So!” he exclaimed with a sigh of re-
lief, cnd marched in to see the pier
tures. Almost art the same moment
another German, having “done” the
pictures. approached the rack'in ques-
tion, and, having scrutinized its con-
tents. selected a stump of a cigar as
his particular property, and proceeded
to light it before getting on his hat
and coat. This provision for saving
the stumps 'of cigars was a novelty to
the American. and he examined it
with some curiosity. A sign, “Clgarre
Ab'lnde,” placed above it in large let-
ters,‘ announced its purpose—a “leav-
lug-place" or “depositing-place" for
cigars.
fashioned something like a miniature
wirernck; there was a special groove
for each cigar, but no particular mark
or number by which one could iden-
tify one stump from another, and no
particular reason why the first-comer
should not help himself to the best and
biggest cigar of the lot. These clear
repositories are common all over Ger-
many in galleries, museums, and other
places where smoking is not allowed.
NECKLACE OF BLACK DIAMONDS.
The Only One Known in Existence. Rutlely
Valued at $65,000.
The only black diamond necklace
known to exist in this country or Eu-
rope is that owned by Mrs. Celia V5211-
lace, of the Auditorium. Mrs. “'al-
lace has been fifteen years collecting
their. and has searched for the per-
fect stones in every jewel market of
lhe world. They are found more oft-
cn in the diamond mines of South Af—
rica and in rare instances
America.
The black (limp-0nd. as its name sla-
uiiic-s, is as jetty as a. piece of coal.
perfectly transparent. and with all thlT
lustre and glisten and brilliant rays of
its white sister. It. is used as the
mourning stone of the Russian court
The necklace is composed of fourteen-
pendnnts. hung: on a fine platinum
chain. Each one has a black diamond
centre, set closely around with a row
of steel white diamonds from l‘Ilt‘
Jaegcr mine. South Africa.
The black stones in this larger pcu-
dent and in the two on each side of it
are eight karats each. The rest are a
trifle smaller. Between each pendant.
hanging like a pierced dcwdrop,‘ is a
single white diamond, while directly
above the. larger pendant is a nine-
knrat white Indian diamond of un-
usual benuty. For this single stone
unset Mrs. ‘Wallacc paid the neat sum
of $6.000.
It is almost impossible to estimate
the value of the necklace, as no two
stones were bought at the same time
and none of them was set, but it is
rudely estimated at $65,000.-—-Chicaga

He Would Not Be Insulted.
Jim O’Brien. :1 patrolman in one 01

into Stanley's shoe store on Christian
street to buy a pair of shoes. He was
:1 regular customer and wore a very
heavy style of shoe. Stanley was
busv at ihc time. but there was a
new clerk who mme forward to wait
upon O'Brien. “he latter picked out
a pair that suited Illlll and prepared to
try them on. It was a rainy day, and
the customer's socks were a trifle
dump. The clerk accordingly pro-
ceeded to sprinkle the insides of the
new shoes rather generously with
powdorcl'l soapstone that they mighi
slip on more easily. O‘Brien suddenly
changed his mind about the shoes. He
didn't. want them. he said. and pro-
ceeded to draw or. his old pair. As
he was walking out the proprietor
said: “Well. Jim, did you get suited?"
Jim turned upon him a face rr‘d with
anger. “No. Oi did not git suited, Mr
Stanley.” “\l’liat’s the trouble. Jim ’5”

A S'lmnsi missionary who went to
conduct a funeral the other day nar—
rowly escaped being present at a mar—
riage. The dead man was a bachelor
of 50, and fearing that his spirit would
wander companionless in the world of
shades, relatives had scoured the
country side for a dead maiden to
marry to him and bury with him. A
desirable bride had been found some
seven miles away and wasencoffined
