Washington, Dio. 7—The United
States senate began the second session
of the fifty fourth ooagrsss with crowd-
ed galleries and with that the aoocm
panlmsnt of activity and greeting that
usually attends the reassembling of
congress. But tha upper branch of
congress never puts aside Its dignity
and tha meeting developed no demon-
stration or dramatic incidents.
The reading of tha president's mes-
sage was the proceedings and beyond
this no attempt was made to enter upon
tbe business of the session. Many
foreign representatives occapying tbe
diplomatic gallery, tbe message had
a special Interest and significance,
owing to the part they had taken in
conspicuous foreign even's to wblob
the president referred. Sir Julian
PannotfcPe, British ambassador, and
the new Tnrklt b minister, Monstapba
B»y, were present, tenor Dapay de
Lome, Spanish minister, was not
present daring the day, bat two of the
secretaries or the Spauisb legation
osrefnliy noted tha reference to tha
Ooban oocfllot, Minister Hatch, of
Hawaii, and Cooper, Hawaiian minister
of foreign affairs, were listeners, el
though the messege contained no
reference to tbe Hawaiian islands.
Tha diploma'to gallery wae vacated
as soon as tbe foreign questions refer-
red to In the message had been read.
On the floor of the senata piloted
copies of tbe messsge were distributed
and these gave senators sn opportunity
to read the salient features Instead of
listening to them. As a resale there
was scent attention after tbe reading
had proceeded beyond the first halt
honr. The reading of the message
covered one hoar and fifty mluates
and at its conclusion tbe senate ad-
journed. _____
The House
Washington, Deo. 7—While the
scenes at,lending the opening of the'
bonse today were both brilliant and
Interesting, in the orowds that thrpng
ad tha gallaries and oonsploaons
personages present, the proceedings
tbemseivis were dnll and spiritless,
being distinctively routine.
The house me', the chaplain invoked
Divine blessing on tbe work of the
sesaloo, tha roll was died and a com
mlttee consisting of Cannon, of Illi-
nois: Payne, of New York, and Tarner,
of Georgia: was appointed to wait on
tbe president and tha latter's annnal
communication was read. The read
log consumed abont two boars. It was
Olevtlafid's farewell message and there
was muob cariosity as to bis views, on
Onba especially, bat there was no
demonstration, either of approval or
dleant throughout its reading.
The holiday nature of the day was
saddened by tbe announcement of tha
death of ex Speaker Crisp, wblob Mr.
Tarner of Georgia, formally made to
hta associates Out of resp.ot to the
memory of thadlstingulfhed Georgian,
the house, attar adootlrg approprla
tlons Immediately adjiurned.
Keep Tinman)'. Door. Open.
New York, Deo. 7—Not for years
has tbere bean so large an attendance
at tbe m n'hly meeting of the Tam-
many society as tonight. Rlobsrd
Oroker was tbe attraction and was
treated enthusiastically. It ia ra
ported that ou his return from En-
gland Mr. Oroker frowned upon the
suggestion to discipline Bourke Coch-
ran and other members of tha aooiaty
who had bolted tha Obloago tloket.
This is the langnsge Oroker is reported
to have u‘ed:
“Tha munlolpal campaign must not
be fought on national Issues. To win
we must have the ail of all our friends.
Keep the doors of Tammany Hall wide
open. L*t us only try to control looal
politics and not man’s oonsoienoes ”
The death of Ool. John R. Fellows,
for maoy years a member of tbe
sooiety, ilfjrdtd an opportunity to
extend tbe oilva branch to bolters, and
Thomas F. Grady presented a tribute
to the dead, which was spread upon
tha rcoords. Tha sentiment of tha
meeting was strongly for tha oonollla
lion of racsadlng Democrats.
English Pres. Opinion*.
London, Deo. 7—All newspapers this
morning havo editorials on PrsBident
Cleveland's message. Most of them
regsrd the massage as one of rather
minor Importance, except so far as it
oonoerns tbe Cuban question, to whloh
phase the bnlk of comment le devoted.
The Dally N»ws, Liberal organ, says
of tbe Caban portion of the message:
“President Cleveland'! argument is
clear enoogh tbat do oountry possesses
tbe right to foster a perpetual source
of trouble, and tbat Spain must either
grant autenomy or sail. Spain, how-
ever, will probably refuse to do any
thing of tha kind. Her proverbial
pride will be much hurt by Amerioa’e
interference. She will be disposed to
insist upon bar right to wallop her own
negroes as long aa aha pleases, and
Europe being very sensitive just now
on tha eubjeot of tha Monroe doo'rlne
Spain will probably ba influentially
supported if (beholds out. Wa hope
the will not prevail, beoause autonomy
la beat, for Ooba and the beat fer
Spain ”
Tha Chronicle saye: “Wei believe
the time has passed when tha Cabin
insurgents will accept any eolation
plaolng Spanish officials over them,
even ncmtnslly. There is no mistake,
however, about tbe warning of Pres-
ident Cleveland's addresses to Spain,
and Spanish statesmen should be aware
that the Democratic gavarnment is tar
more pao'flo and oonservatlva In Its
foreign polloy than tha coming Re-
publican government is likely to be.
Spain has to face a humiliating dtlem
ma, but she oould not fight tha United
States twenty lour hours. Therefore
she should sell Cuba quickly, but ha
would be no friend of tbe United States
who would advise her to buy Cuba."
COMMENTS ON THE MESSAGE-
Only e Taw Senators Willing to Express
aa Opinion.
Washington, Dso. 7—Oommints in
senate on tha message ware generally
favorable to the tennor of tbe message
on the Caban question though there
are some opposing views expressed. A
large numbtr of senators including a
mejori'y of the members of the com
mltree of foretgo relations, excuse
themselves from expressing opinions
on the gound they had not given It a
careful reading.
Mr. Pettigrew, Republican, of Sooth
Dakota: It la the first time in onr
history an exeoatlve who is the repre
sentetlve of a defeated party ever
glorified as Cleveland does, In the first
paragraph of this massage, over the
suooess at tha polls of his party’s op
ponents.
Mr. Pngb, Democrat, of Alabams:
Tha message is sound on Cuba, snutd
00 tariff and especially sound on trusts
and monopolies.
Mr. Brice, Democrat, of Ohio: Tbe
president has bandied the question In
as diplomatic a manner as possible.
Mr. Nelson, Republican, Minnesota:
It Is a fair statement so far as regards
Cuba.
Senator Tillman, Democrat, South
Carolina: It is commonplace. Tha
best thing about it is tbat it Is tbe lss*
we will have from that source, at least
the last annual message.
Mr Mo gan—In the president’s re
cital of facts ard h's statement of the
moral duties of tbe United States to-
ward the Caban belligerents tbere is a
response to the sentiment of the peo-
ple, and I believe, of tha aenata. In
assartlog that no other nation must
interfere in the affaire of Cuba there
is tha most decisive and prabtloal
declaration cf tha Monroe doctrine
that has yet been made. Bat while
the present government warns eff all
other nations, the massage calls a great
oivii wer an Insurraotlon and on this
false declaration justifies aotlve aid to
Spain in furnishing all kinds of mill
tary munitions, while it refuses our
people tbe right to send anything, even
bread, or medicine, to the insurgents.
1 regret this national aotlon ts so
illogical and no jast and that it mast
still cost many lives and terrible suf-
fering to a people who are admitted by
tbe message to beat war for tha sake
of liberty, and as a means of gaining
power for personal ends.
L'btlere Sentenced.
Berlin, Deo. 7—Count Phillip Za
Eulenburg, German ambassador to
Austria, arrived bare today from
Vienna to testify at the trial of Herr
Liakert, Bareu Von Lutzow, Herr
Ploetz, Herr Barger and Herr Foall

libelling Count Entanburg, Baron
Marsohall Von Bteberstelu and Prince
Alexander Von Hohenloba. When the
trial was resumed Baron Von Tausob,
commissioner of deteotlves, was arrest
ad on the charge of perjury.
Count Phillip was the first witness
called. He testified he had but a alight
ecqnatntanoe with Von Tausob, addieg:
“1c la a calumny and malicious inven-
tion to say I had relations with Von
Tausoh and especially connection with
the artioia rsfarred to. I have nothing
whatever, to do with snob Intrigues. 1
spoke confidentially with Baron Mare -
ohall on matters oonmoted with this
trial. Apart from this, I know noth-
ing which oonld be pat in evldenoe
At the conclusion of the long spesoh
the pabllo prosecutor demanded Herr
Leokert aud Baron von Luetzowha
sentenced to one month's imprison-
ment and tha other defendants to short
terms.
Harr Leokert was sentenced to eigh-
teen months Imprisonment for llbalcui
aland.r. Harr von Luetzow was sen
tanoad for tha same period for simple
slander. H«rr Ploe'z was fined 100
marks, and Harr Berger sentenced to
one months imprisonment for lneult-
iog a foreign minister. Herr Feellmer
was fined 100 marks.
Bryan on the M’.inae.
Lincoln, Nab, Dso 7—A repres-
entative of tbe Associated Press oalled
upon William J. Bryan this afternoon
and ehowed him a oopy of President
Cleveland’s message. Bryan was over
whelmed with a press of work and a
oonstant stream of oailers, and after
repeated efforts, was compelled to
abandon an attempt to read the
message.
“Mr. Cleveland's massage,” said
Bryan “la too important a document-
either to ba commented on|io plaoemeal
i r briefly aa a whole- I do not oare to
express myself upon tbemeeeege until
I shall have had so opportnnlty to
oarafully read and dijeat 1c.

Washington, Dec. 7—For tha first
time within the memory of tha oldest
official the Btoretary of state has made
a regular report to tba president for
transmission to congress like tha re-
ports of other officers of the oabtuet
This report was laid before congress
today as an appendix to tha president’s
message.
It treats on many details of our rela
tlons daring the past year with foreign
governmanta wittier not touched upon
at all ia the message or more briefly
stated. Oiney gives in detail the
story of the growth of the Ooban re
hellion; the present evil state of eff-ilrs
on tha Island and other facts upon
whloh tha president bases his broad
statement and oonoluslons. No refer
eooa is made to tba report from Oonsnl
General Lea, but tha secretary in-
timates bis information comes prlnol
pally from United States consuls aud
so muBt be regarded aa ooDfldentlal as
to its source. The secretary's estimate
of the present situation Is disclosed io
the following paragraph:
"From whatever point of view wa
regard tba matter, it is Impossible oot
to (iltoern that a state of things exists
at our doors alike dangerous to good
relations, destruotlva to legitimate
oommeroe, fatal to the sources of in
teroal reeouroes of Ooba and most
vexatious and trying baoausa entailing
on this government axoeasive burdens
in tte domestic administration and to
its outward teUtlooe. This situation
cannot indefinitely oonttnne without
growing still worse and tbe time may
oot be fer distant when tba Uaited
States muetaarlously oooslder whether
ite rights and interests aa well as its
International duties, in view of its
peculiar relatione to tba Islands, do
not oell for some deolded ohenge In
tbe polloy heretofore pursued ”
As bearing upon the question of re-
cognition of tbe insurgents whloh la to
oome in some ebape before congress,
the following statement from Beoretary
Oiney la of lmportanoa in explaining
his reasons for declining recognition:
‘ So far B9 oar Information shows
t-hera Is not only no affective loo.l gov-
ernment by the insurgents in the ter-
ritory they overrun, but there is not
even a tangible pretense to establish
an administration anywhere. Their
operation is confined to the shifting
exigencies of military operations of
the hour; is nomadic wlthont definite
oontours and lacking moat of tha ele-
mentary faaturas of ruunlolpal govern-
ment. There nowhsre appears a
nuolaus of statehood. It la not poasi-
bla to disoaru a homogenous political
entity of possessing audexerolalog the
funottons of administration and capa-
ble If left to Itself of maintaining an
orderly government In its own terri-
tory and sustaining normal relations
with tba external family of govern-
ments.”
Touching negotiations for e general
arbitration treaty for tbe settlement of
all future disputes between tba United
S'atee and Great Britain saye tbat
both ooun'rles having given repeated
proof of their acquleeoenoe in tbe
great principle Involved not only by
treaties but severally by concluding
like adjustment with other powere for
adjudication of disputes restiDg on law
and faot. The subjsot was naturally
approached in a banevolent spirit of
agreement and negotiatlone have so
satisfactorily progressed as to fore-
shadow a practical agreement at an
early date upon the text of a conven-
tion to tbe desired end.
Tha report shows that negotiations
are in progress for a convention to
looa'e Immediately that part of the
Alaskan boundary Una along it 141st
Meridian by tbe governments aod a
joint survey, while tba prospects for
damarkatioo of tha ooast line boundary
is said to be good.
Under tbe head of Germany, tha re-
port tree's briefly of the exoluelon
from that oonntry of Amarloan meat
products. Tha situation apparently
remains unchanged, as there has bean
no amelioration of tha stringent
measures adopted bv Germany on as
samed grounds of public baal'h agaloat
our cattle. “On the contrary,” saye
the eeoretary, “the disposition of Ger-
many, visible for a number of years
past, to still further Impede and vlr
tually lohebit this legitimate traffic, le
•vldenoed by fresh raatrlotiva meas-
ures. The unjust!liability and tba
eronaouanasa of tba supposed premasea
on wblob they rest have beau again
pointed out and the bealthfalnaae of
our exoorte supported by oonoluelva
proof."
The seoretery says there are fair
prospeo'eof tha ultimata removal of
the iutardlotloo upon Amarloan life
