THE DAY IN CONGRESS
Keen Interest Taken in the
President's Message.
IT WAS HEARTILY APPLAUDED
Vied In Showing Their Approval of tha
' BenUmenti Contained Therein
Arrangements for Next
Jane'a ConTentlon. '
Washington, Dec. 17. The presi
dent's message reached the senate at
about 12:30. Senator Morgan, chairman
of the committee on foreign relations,
examined the message and then moved
to go into executive session, and at 12 :40
the doors were closed.
At 1 o'clock the senate resumed legis
lative session and the message' of the
president was laid before the senate.
The senators showed the keenest in
terest in the reading of the message.
There was " hardly a vacant seat on the
republican side, and but few 'absentees
on the democratic side. As the reading
closed there was a hearty hand-clapping
from alTquartera of the chamber, Chan
dler leading the demonstration on the
republican side. Veterans of the senate
say it was the most spontaneous demon
stration in their recollection.
The message and accompanying docu
ments were referred to the committee on
foreign relations, and at 1 :15 p. m. the
senate adjourned.
IK the House. .
Washington, Dec. 17. The house de
voted itself today to discussing the prop
psition to have two elections committees
instead of one, the Venezuelan message
meanwhile lying unopened.
This caused Crisp to exclaim : "There
is an important message from the presi
dent, relating to Venezuela, laying on
that table and yet this republican, con
gress enters upon "partisan action delay
ing the consideration of the president's
message.'"
Bulick was quickly on his feet with
the inquiry: "Is it this house or the
president's ducking excursion that has
delayed the message of the Venezuelan
question?"
There was a round of laughter and ap
plause from the republican side.
"There is the message," proceeded
Crisp. "It lies unheeled, and yet, it is
a frank, honest and manly support of
the Monroe doctrine."
Both sides joined in applause at the
mention of the Monroe doctrine.
AT ST.. LOUIS.
Arrangements Made for Accommodating
ConTentlon Crowds.
St. Louis, Dec. 17. The engagement
of rooms to be occupied by different del
egations and prominent republicans dur
ing the convention, has at last taker,
some definite form and the managers of
some of the hotels have prepared lists of
those who will be in their bouses. Dur
ing the past few days Colonel Swords, of
Iowa, sergeant-at-arms of the republican
national committee, and Mr. Dwight A.
Lawrence, of New York, who is repre
senting the interests of Senator Quay,
have been in the city and have com
pleted their arrangements with several
hotels.
The majority of the state delegations
have been provided for and a large num
ber of prominent republicans from a'l
eections of the country know the num
bers of the rooms there are to occupy.
The list of politicana and delegates at
the Planters', as given out by Manager
Weaver, will be:
Chauncey I. Filley and the Missouri
delegation ; General Clarkson, and the
Iowa delegation ; Matthew S. Quay, and
the Pennsylvania delegation: Colonel
Fesaenden and the Connecticut delega
tion; General Alger, of Michigan;
Chauncy M. Depew ; Colonel Trumbo, of
Utah; Thomas E. Piatt, of New York;
Hon. G. O. Hobart, of New Jersey;
Lieutenant-Governor Lyon, of Pennsyl
vania; Ben W. Andrews, of Pennsylva
nia ; M. H. De Young, of San Francisco ;
Warner Miller, of New York; Edward
Quackenbush, of Massachusetts ; the
Union Republican Club, of Philadel
phia; headquarters of the New York
delegation ; the Indiana delegation ;
Hon. H. C. Stickney, of Delaware, ac
coro pained by six friends: Messrs. Mc
Keei Flynn and George von Bammhotst,
of Philadelphia ; Dwight A. Lawrence,
of New York; Colonel H. L. Swords, of
Iowa; Messrs. Frank Hiscock, John
Cenyon, Hamilton Fish, Charles Hack:
ett and Reuben Fox. . '
The Union Republican Club has en
gaged 35 rooms-; Colonel Swords has
taken 45, and 30 have been placed at the
disposal of Mr. Lawrence. Mr. Swords
and Mr. Lawrence have not secured all
the rooms they will need, however, as
Mr. Lawrence will engage 75 and Colon
el Swords estimates that the people he
represents will fill nearly 2G0 rooms.
SENATOR ALLISON.
If suffering with piles, it will interest
vou to know that De Witt's Witch Hazel
Salye will cure them. This medicine is
a specific for all complaints of this char
acter, and if instructions (which are
simple) are carried out, a cure will re
sult. We have tested this in numerous
cases, and always with like results. It
never fails. Suipes-Kinersly Drug Co.
Be ' Is an Active, Aggressive Candidate
for the -Presidency.
Chicago, Dec, 16. A special to a loc
al paper from St. Louis, says :
Colonel H. L. Swords, of Iowa, ser- i
geant-at-arms of the republic national
committee, who is here to select the
committee headquarters for convention
week, said in discussing the presidential
outlook :
"Senator Allison is in no sense a .re
ceptive candidate for the nomination,
whatever that means. He is an active,
aggressive candidate. I saw him at
Washington Wednesday and had a long
talk with him. His campaign will be
managed by Ganeral James S. Clarkson
and Congressman Henderson, of Iowa.
Ours will be something of a waiting
policy. That is to say, we will hold our
forces in reserve until McKinley and
Reed cut one another to pieces, and
stop fighting from sheer exhaustion.
Then" we will plunge to the front with
our man.
"I am delighted that General Harri
son's friends have decided to enter him.
That . will, greatly relieve the intense
strain created by the etruggle between
McKinley and Reed. A great man is
General Harrison a great man and
there ia no telling at this juncture what
sort of a factor he is going to be in the
contest."

"The nse of 'Castoria' Is so universal and
its merits fo well known that it seems a work of
