shoulders, but upon Congress. This view OF the
case seemed to upset the reasoning OF Blaine ana
Dawes in the Presidents mind, and the impression
left upon Morton was tnat the President would send
In the proposed message. Ii is stated however to-
night, that he has again changed hrs
mind and tnat he viii not communicate the
message. He Will, however send message
asking for an appropriation OF million and
q nalf dollars to be used In following out the y
recommendations OF the St. Domingo Commission.
According to Blane's argument about the strength
OF the democratic majority, the President stands
less chance OF getting this through the House tnan
he does OF securing the passage OF Ku Klux bill.
Should ne refuse to send In message on the con-
diti0n Of the South, Of course there will be imme
diate adjournment II such message Is communi-
Gated, however Congress will remain long enough
at least to give 1t a thorough discussion.

members OF the Ku Klux Kan held meeting to-
day for the purpose Of finishing and revising their
report. The majority report is q document OF some
fftysix pages Of legal cap, ana abounds In start
ng facts relative to the condition Of affairs at the
south. As the testimony taken by the committee re-
fers manly North and South Carolina, the facts set
forth In the report are drawn chiefly from those two
States The report is introduced, however, with
general reference to the operations OF the ku KluX
in other parts OF the South. 1t shows that the Ku
Klux have succeeded IN inauguratlng sucn reign
of terror IN many portions OF the South that the
civil authorities confess their inability to enforce the
laws by the usual process Calling upon the state
authorities for aid does not appear to mend the mat
ter for the Governors are In many instances as pow
erless as the judges. The committee recommend
thotp n
ish and suppress the Ku Klux. 1t was the IN
tention OF the committee to have presented their
report tomorrow The democratic members how
ever-Messrs. Bayard and Blair-after hearing the

ther.
