CONGRESSIONAL SYNOPSIS.

The details of Congress onal proceedings
are as yet SO unnteresting in their character
that they receive no more than brief and
passing notice from the papers of the coun-
try. Oar dates of last week brought us up
TO the 18th inclusive. The proceedings of
the 18th have no importance. A bill aulho-
rizing the payment of $40. 900 out of the
public treasury, 10 the heirs of Robert Full
ton, passed the Senate and was sent 10 the
House. A lengthy discuss;onwas had in
the House on the tariff.
The proceedings ofthc 10Th, possess some
interest, and we copy the following Synopsis
from the N. Y. Evening Post:
Correspondence of the Evening Post
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10, 1914.
Mr.. E. J. Morris, Of Pennsylvania, asked
and obtained leave to introduce resolution
10 inquire into the expediency of conlinu-
ing Prof. Morse's magnetic telegraph to
Philadelphia and New York. Mr.. Weller,
of Ohio. having given the requisite notice,
introduced series Of joint resolutions for
the annexation of Texas to the U. States.
1t was moved 10 refer the resolutions TO
the Committee Of tho Whole, and that they
be printed, on which the yeas and nays
were called-ayes 100, nays 90.
The long-expected message from the
President, of the y. States, on the Mexican
difficulties, was announced it was read,
and referred 10 the Committee on Foreign
Relations. and ordered to be printed. The
message is firm, and, under the circum-
stances Of high provocation, which it re-
capltslates, may be esteemed moderate

numerous unfriendly acts toward the U.
States, and her spoilations on our private
citizens, committed by Mexico; announces
the fact that an instalmen: Of the indemnify
due by her to US has been long withheld;
alludes in strong language TO the pending
invasion, and unrelentlng war threatened
by Mexico against Texas, in consequence
of her participation in the late negotiations
for her annexation to the Union, and con-
cludes by very earnestly recommending
the imme date incorporation Of Texas with
the United States; and by so doing, if war
is 10 ensue, TO throw Inc responsibility and
the odium o. the act upon Mexico.
The reading of the message was listened
to by the House wa very perceptib'e in
terest and made az undoubied impression.
Nevertheless, must repeat my former
conviction, that tho steps recommended
will, from various considerations, be post
