Two City Councils, representing the

the old Board Of Aldermen shall continue
In office. While this decision disp0ses for
time Of the difficulty presented by the
elections of two boards Of the City Coun-
Gil, IL does not give satisfaction to the
friends Of the candidates chosen by either
party.
Congress was brought TO a close on the
18th, when President Juarez made o
speech, in the course OF which be said
that q treaty OF commerce and amity be-
tween Mexico aud Italy had been signed
by the latter power. The Speaker Of Con-
gress subsequently, remarked that both

HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, January 6.-Mr. White
more introduced a bill tC create an addi.
tional collection district in Texas, and to
make the city of Sabine Pass a port OF
/ entry; and bill relating the survey OF
the Nstehez and AqueIino .ivers in Texas,
The House resumed the consideration
! Of the resolution reported by the Com
! mittee on Foreign Affairs in refer
| enCe to a dispatch between Minister
! Washburn and the Government Of Par
| aguay.
Mr.. Banks, Chairman Of the Committee
I on Foreign Affairs, said the resolution
| had been drawn very mild by the Com
mittee in regard to any naval officer. The
/ language was that these officers failed to
discharge their duty. The reason Why
they failed to discharge the duty was the
fault of the Navy Department, ana il was
against the policy of the Department that
the Committee on Foreign Affairs pro-
tested most sOlemuly. The Committee
did not censure Admiral Gordon or
Admiral Davis, but the practice and poll
cy Of the Navy Department, which set
itself up against the State Department,
against the Government and the country,
and assumed to hold itself as Judge Of
what should be done for American citi-
zsns in foreign countries.
Mr.. Maynard offered an additional resO-
luton censunng the fleet of Captain
Ramsay and Lieutenant Commander
Kirkland, for going to the camp Of Lopez
and assisting the inquisitors, who ex-
tOrted q false confession from Bliss and
Msstermsu, in which they were guilty Of
a grave Offense.
Mr FarnswOrth offered an additional
resolution, requesting tho Secretary OF
the Navy to institute proceedings by a
court Of inquiry or cOurt-martial, for the
trial of Admirals Gordon and Davis, for
the o6enses described in the report.
Mr.. NOOrhies said he would vote for the
resolution because he had long been i'm.
pressed with the fact that the foreign
policy Of the Government was weak and
contemplate, and he wished It reformed.
He wanted 70 have something else to
which the country could refer besides the
Martin KOsseta sffsir. he did not want
the navy to live forever on the fame &C.
quired for rescuiDg one citizen from for /
6ign oppression and outrage.
The resolution offered by Mr.. Farms |
worth; also, the one offered by Mr.. Orth, |
and that Of the COmmitte, were adopted /
Mr. Msynard's resolution was rejected. |
Mr. Julian offered a resolution instruct !
ing the Commissioner or Public Lands to /
inquire into the eXpedisncy Of providing 1
every Oihcer, soldier and sailor, who /
served ninety days in ths war for the /
Union, snd was hOnOFably discharged, /
with one hundred and sixty acres Of 4
the public lands as a homestead, the |
actual term Of service to count as past |
Eve years, as required by the homestead /
act Of 1852. Adopted.
The House then adjourned.
The session Of tomorrow will be for
general debate only.

BISMARCK.
His Declarations as 10 the Proposed Re
sulls Of ths War,

The following are a summary OF the
declarations OF Bismarck made last
November. This publication has here
tOfOre been delayed, because it was
feared a public knowledge Of them
would have intertered with the plans
of the Prussian government:
/. The Latin races are used up;
their destinies are accomplished. They
viii diminish by degrees until they
reach total extinction. The future be
longs to the people of the North, and
they are only making their debut in
the glorious role which they are des-
tined to fill for the good of humanity.
The choice of a German prince for
the Spanish throne is a guarantee of
regeneration; it is the best means
TO infuse into the degenerate peoples
some Of the German sap-yOung, Wig
OrOus and full Of virtue, and initia-
tive, as tits.
2. Ii is already quite decided in the
viii Of the King to enter the capital
for the second time, surrounded by the
glorious veterans who entered with
him in 1915. We will wait ten years
il necessary, but we viii enter into
Paris. 1t is only at Paris that peace
can be signed.
3. The aim Of our policy ought to
be TO weaken as much as possible,
and entirely 70 ruin France, so as to
render her incapable of disturbing the
general peace for a long time 70 come.
4 TIE viii Ct the King is 70 annex
Alsace snd Lorraine. We know that
the peace, whatever may be its cOndi-
tiOns, can only be a treaty. France is
too vain ever to forgive US her de-
feats. Did we agree tomorrow to
ev8Custe their territory without an
indemnity, her 1DlnltT- prODr6 would
not suffer less, and she would pro-
woke Us 10 new war as soon as she
could. We viii occupy Paris and
France As long as may be necessary.
France has nothing Of an army left.
She won't have that long. The bat
Gali0Is Of the Loire are more like
bands OF men than regular troops.
8. As to the neutral powers, they
are at least as much our friends as
Frances. Besides, ii appears to me
that every country will shortly have
enough Of its private affairs. At the
worst We would never accept any for
eign intervention in a war which we
undertook alone and at our own risk. /
With US lin the Prussian empire) there
Is 10 ether sovereign viii than that Of
the King. The King only wills be- |
cause the King only has the right to |
viii. Highly placed as l am, am /
on y the instrument Of his political |
will, like the generals are the instru- /
ments Of his military will.

take action on the subject before the ad-
jOurnment of the present session.
