Washington, Dec. 2, All Washington liioa (o the big capital building on open ing davr-, and today there was an added interest on account of the changes in volved and the large influx of new blood. It was an orderly crowd which camo through the rain in piivate conveyances, in streetcars and on foot. By 10:30 o'clock, an 'hour and a half before the time of meeting, tho public galleries of both houees were filled and the eager crowd had overflowed into tho outer cor ridors. The 'senate was called to order promptly at noon. The rice-president administered the cath to tho senators elect, and tho usual formal resolutions wero adopted. At 1:30 it was announced that tho president's message would not bo sub mitted today, and the senate adjourned. Tho republican senators caucused half an hour, but adjourned until Wednesday without taking action on reorganization. IN THIS IIOL'SE. The 54th house of representatives was called to order at noon by Clerk Kerr. The roll was called and tho clerk an nounced 341 of the 330 members present, and that no credentials had been re ceived from the tenth New York and first Nevada districts. Kerr then called for nominations for speaker. No nominating speeches were made, but Grosvenor of Obiu, named Iteed, Sayres of Texas, Crisp and Kern of Nebraska, Bell of Colorado. The result of the vote for speaker was : IteeU, 234; Criep, 05; Bell, 6; Culber son, (dexn.) 1. Total 330. The an nouncement of Heed's election was greeted with great applause, which was continued when he ascended tho ros trum, acd his tpeech was also punctu ated with applauee. It was as follows: '"It will not le unbecoming in me, I hope, if I acknowledge to tLia assembly that it is very agreeable to me to stand once more in the place I left four years ago. Of the past, however, I shall not speak, for tho past speaks for itself in terms more fitting and appropriate than any words which could come from my lips. No' shall I speak of the future, for we are nof putting off the harness, but putting it on. Yet, I think I can venture to say of the futuro, in tho light of the past, that if we do something which for the moment seems inadequate, it may be that time, which has justified it for us on many occasions, may do so again. Those who have acted with wis dom heretofore may be fairly exacted to act with wisdom heieafter. I am I the honor you have bestowed on me, an honor no American citizen can fail to ap preciate and for which I give thanks, lasts for but a moment or so, while the cares and responsibilitts extend over many days. "So far as the performance of my duties sflects tho whole people of the United States I invoke their considerate judgement. So far as it affects the members of this house, 1 ask from both chambers that cordial co-operation, with out which I cannot hopo to succeed, assuring tbem that no effort on my p art will be spared to aid them in the per formance of their duties by that entire impartiality which is their jnst due." The republican caucus nominees for house offi.crs wero promptly elected. By unanimous consent Newlands, of Nevada and Cummings of New York, whose credentials had not arrived, were swern in with the other members. The drawing of seats being concluded, the house adjourned till tomorrow. Powers Will Insis. CoNbTATiNorLc, Dec. I. While bo ng desirous of not doing anything which would in any way tend to induce disturb ances or to hinder tho work of restoring order, the poweis again appear unani mously resolved to insist upon their de mand for extra guardships. In conse quence, the ambassadors have arranged for a meeting tomorrow (Monday) to contider what action is necesiary in view of tho sultan's continued objection to granting firmans. In the meanwhile the impression is being conveyed to tho public that the sultan has won a great victory. This tends to make tho matter more delicate to handle, as to demon etrate that sucli is not the caeo is almost certain to lead to an outbreak even more serious than the oue which gave a pre ext for the demand for extra guard- ships. Turkish official, in discussing tho withdrawal of tho Driad, intimated that the lowers objected to any pon"cr taking tho lead in any action lin Turkey. In other words, if'action is to bo taken it should bo a combined action upon the part of the owers. Thus, it is intimated, if tho passage of tho Dardanelles is to bo forced it should bo dono by the warships oi an u.o powers interested. J Ins was the original understanding, hut Great Britain, it appears, was not dispoeed to delay matters beyond a certain point Another diplomat said it looked hb if Great Britain had attained tho object she had in view, namely, to show thu sultan and powers as well that while being tie slrouB of acting in accord with the other powcrB, bur majesty's government was prepared to act alone- if necessity should arise, and if the powers desiro concerted action they must act promptly or Great Britain will take the initiative. The so-called firing on the British shii Loch Rannocli in thu Dardanelles is said by Turkish ofllcials to ho easily explained Thoy say tho Loch Ranuoch arrived after sundown mid instead of uuchuriug attempted to proceed and was signaled from tho shoro by n guu shot to bring up As sho did not do so a second shot was fired, und the Loch Rauuoch let go her anchor. If tho mutter had beeu as seri ous as thu Odessa correspondent of tho .Daily Nows made out, tho captain of thu Loch Rannoch would certainly havo made complaint at the British embassy A great deal of excitement was caused here today by tho report that ex-Sultan Mohammed Murad, who was disposed on tho ground of idiocy, August 31, 187G, had escaped from tho Yildiz Kiosk, where ho is kept a close prisoner. Tho report, it appears, grew out of the flight of Murad Bey, tho imperial commissioner of tho council of public debt, who was also suspected of having relations with tho young Turk party. Murad, it seems, had been watched by the police, and was suddenly summoned to the palace to ex plain his conduct. Ho gave the sultan what appeared to be a satisfactory ex planation of tho charges against him, but the matter being pressed further, Murad fled on board a Russian ship. The First Thing to Do. Nkw Yokk, Dec, 2. A dispatch to the Herald from Vienna aays : The ambassador of a great power Baid to a correspondent last night: "The first thing to be done is to strengthen tho position of the sultan, as the question or the additional guard ships has lessened lib authority with his subjects and may cause an outburst of fanaticism. Austria has changed the direction of her policy and is now march ing hand in hand with Englaud." The sultan has complained to the Eng lish ambassador of the false reports that have appeared in the English press. There is no truth in the report that Austria is massing troops in Bosnia. The Czar's Opinion. New York, Dec. 2. A special to the Herald from St. Petersburg says : The czar, who takes a keen personal interest in Turkev, as in all other impor tant questions, said while speaking very earnestly on the subject at the palace of Czarskoeseto : "The sultan should be givea time to carry out the prumised reforms, which, under the circumstances, are not easy of accomplishment." These few words throw more light up on the question than the reams of haute politique which are being daily pub lished. Notwithstanding contradictions, the news sent from hero that there was an entente by Russia, Germany and France to pieventthe disintegration of tho Turkish empire remains perfectly true. CALAPOOIA. Obey the golden rule and never trust a fool. J. B. Farnsworth and mother of Little Tennessee were vititini; relatives here last week. 0. A. McGee and wife of Roseburg pent Thanksgiving on tho Calapooia, CHatleyliaa an eyB-for-busfncsaand id ways welcome among his numerous Calapooia Iriends. Charlie Stevens of Tycc, who has been attending school at Roseburg, wis shak ing hands on the Calapooia last week. E-Jward Ellison of Roseburg is looking after his father's interests here during his father's illness. The correspondent of the Review, K. 0. of Tyee, has seen fit to take exception to the items we occasionly send to the Flalndkalei: and gees at it in an under handed nay, saying our neighbors say so and eo. Now any one that will use the columns of a paper to hurl forth such is well down on the road of sinners and when lie gets to hades the devil will takeoff his tail and hook it onto the young gent and say to him: "Wear this ornament of authority and rule over this pit, you are a worse sinner than I, and I, who have ruled for thousands of years, yield to you." A lot of petty thievery has been going on in this neighborhood for the past month which we have tefraincd from mentioning as it was supposed it would stop after the turkeys had been gathered up, but they only seem to be encouraged and are now visiting the grain bins and fruit cellars. Enough is known that the parties are not stealing for reason they are iu want, but because they were born to steal and are just fulfilling their miss ion in this mundane spbeic. rtianksgiving day was generally ob served here as each saw fit. Some in- ited in their neighbors and had a good timo eating turkey and while tho poor was remembered by those who felt able to give. Taking all into consideration wo consider our Thanksgiving day spen in a very creditablu way. Mrs. R. Stephens of Millwood was looking after her interests ou the Cala pooia last week.

England is aggressive. She is de termined to enlarge her national phy lacteries. Her intense greed knows no bounds, She bows to no principle but that of expediency. She is pragmatic in the extreme. She is continually reaching out her tentacles like the octo pus to draw in everything that offers sustenance. Her policy is self aggran dizement, no m atter what nations rights are assailed, if the way to the ac quisition of new territory bids favorable to success. By her ainrressiveness she has extended her dominion to every quarter of the globe. It is time the other enlightened powers of the earth combine to put a check upon her. The United States should rigidly enforce the Monroe doctrine. She has been med dling with Nicaragua to induce it to annul the contract with citizens of the United States for the construction of the canal across its territory. This inter fering with our interest on this conti nent ought to be rebuked forthwith and she given to understand that this gov- e rumens has rights that must be re spected and that we will tolerate no further meddling in our affairs. She is also trying to gobble up a large slice off of Alaska. She is ' 'bulldozine" the Venezuelans, determined to force that weak government to relinquish a slice of territory which she covets. If the United States would show a little spirit by way of self protection and give that blustering bragadocio, Johnny Bull, to understand that she has en croached on American rights far enough, and give her also to nuderstand that we mean it, she would stop to consider whether or not it is good policy to press her claims further. We demand a vie- orous foreign policy, of "hands off" of American soil. The American Economist furnishes some important statistics on labor strikes for the year 1891-04. These figures are the more important, as they show the difference in the number and costs of these strikes under a protective tariff and when the country was afflicted with a free trade administration. During 1891- 92 the country was nnder an administra tion favorable to protection. In that time there were 3.010 strikes which made idle 503,733 employes, with a wage loss of $29,314,033, and a loss to employ ers of 13,C34,937. Durintr the later period to June 30, 1894, the country was under the Cleveland administration with all its free trade tendencies, and in eigh teen months of this period there were 5,202 strikes, causing the idleness of 747,930 employes, with a wage loss of $45,203,151, and a loss to employers of $20,594,265,. Tnese figures show that in the jear and a lialiaaderva-irse .trade demccractic administration there were 242,245 more men idle by strikes than in the previous two years under a republi can administration, and that the loss of wages to employes was $15,979,318 greater. There is good reason for the people wanting to return to the good days of republican protection. Tho Grant's Pass Courier says: The pine needle mouey $500 el it, has been deposited in tbe bank here and cannot be taken out except for the purchase of pine needles at $5 a ton. Tbe plant is expected the last of the week, and shortly after will begin grinding St. Jacob's oil out of Josephine county's evergreens and drying the pulp for medicated mattresses and pillows. Some delay has been encountered in get ting up the necessary machinery in San Francisco, but the factory will no doubt be in successful operation by the 15lh of December. Owners of pine needle or chards are beginning to look down on bop men, watermelon raisers and conn try editors. John T. Hammond and W. B. Has brouk, representing the letter-carriers of the United States has approved tbe rec ommendation that tne order of the postmaster-general, granting the carriers a hearing on charges before removal, be enacted into a law. Tbe report of first issistant Postmaster-General Jones makes this recommendation. The McKinley Tariff law may have not been perfect. No human law is, and yet thero never was a time during the time it was in operation when the gov ernment had to borrow money to pay its running expenses. Tho Republican Record. Edison looks for a gold mining boom in this country as a result of the fact that new methods secure a profit in mines that have been closed because they were too expensive to work. The Kaffir excitement has served to call at tention to the far greater gold resources of the United States. The official statistics prove that the excess of our imports over our exports during the first ten months of the present year was about $125,002,000 greater than iu the corresponding period of last year. This shows the practical result of the Democratic tariff pohev, and at the same time helps to explain the outflow of gold to Europe-. Special Notice.
