New York, Nov. 30-The Sun this
morning prints interviews with leading
democrats in the g. A. R., in various
paris of the country. In q review OF
these interviews it says: The movement
for the withdrawal of democratic mem
bers of the g. a. r., on the ground that
the organization lie used to further the
political views OF the republican party
seems to meet with little sympathy OUT
side Of Indiana, where it began. A re-
volt has been organized in Indiana
polis, but In no other states are
steps IN that direction reported
and interviews by Bun correspondents
with many prominent democrats in tho
Ct. a. r. show that they will not join
the revolt, and that they have no idea
that it will be important. They dis.
timothy contradict the assertion of Gen.
Palmer that tho Grand Army is ON adj
Junct OF the republican party, and deny
thst as o organization it has any parti-
san bias. They also say there is not
room for another successful organization
OF veterans. In fact the interviews seem
to indicate that az a rule the result of
the election has not shaken the fealty of
the democratic veterans to The Grand
Army.

MA
the American safiors say, behaved like a
lot of sayages, and many of The steam
er's crew bear marks OF b~ayonets on
their persons fer not having obeyed some
slight order quickly enough. The wife
of Capt. Compton, and her niece, who
were on board the Hayden Republic,
were not free from the insults of the
Hayden soldiers, and were subjected to
many indtgnities during the seven days
they were compelled to remain on the
vessel.
Complaint Is also made that the Off
GERS of the United States cruiser Boston,
which, arrived in the harbor during the
captivity of the Hayden Republic,
treated their appeals for assistance with
Indifference, and even refused to aid
them In making comfortable one Of their
number who was suffering from a slight
attack of yellow fever. Capt. Compton
remained at Port-au-Prin to look after
his vessel until some disposition is made
of her. Capt. R~odernakel, Of the Prinz
Frederick, says the representatives of
this French and English governments at
port-an-Prince were to leave on the Goth
inst. for the north Of the island to hold .
conference with the insurgents. They
went with the consent of Gen. Legitione
to arrange for peace, If possible. Capt.
Rodernakel thinks that by this time the
two armies have met and fought a
battle. Two thousand government
troops left Port-au- Prince to march on
st. Marc Just befoye he sailed.

WIN BE a Review of the Important
Questions Before the Country.
WASHINGTON, Nov. Y0.-The Post saws.
II is understood that in his message that
IS TO be transmitted to congress next
week, the president will explicitly re-
affirm the recommendations made in his
tariff message of 1887, but he viii nos
confine himself to that one topic. To a
large extent the document will review
the most important questions with
which the present administration has
had TO deal, and pertinent suggestions
will be submitted looking to the settle
ment OF some of those questions
that are still open. Much
space will be given to our
foreign relation especially in respect to
the efforts Of the state department to
bring about an adjustment of the fish
esles dispute, which were thwartsd by the
acuon OF the senate, and q renewal of
aaRRsssfons that an adequate power OF re-
taltAsion be given the executive. Special
mention will bs made of the administra-
tion OF the civil service law, and its support
Snd oxtenstons recommended. Allusions
VIII be made to reforms In the admins
tfRtion OF the postal service and extern
sion OF Its benefits, especially as to Inn
proved facilities in the foreign mail serv-
Ice, by which several days may be made

Important topics that will be treated

which generous appropriations will ba

The Fifty-drst Congress
OUR LAW MAKERS WILL REAs-
sEMBLE. NEXT MONDAY.
STRICTLY BUSINESS MEN
Politics Win Be Given a Cold Shoulder
and the General Welfare of the
People Looked To-The Parnell
Inyestigation-Netes.

WASHINGTON, Nov. @~.-Congress re-
convenes on Monday, and from q bust
ness visw the short session is likely to
be more Important to the general prog
ress and material interests of the
country than was the unprecedented
session which adjourned in October.
Politics are likely to be relegated to the
rear, a the business interests of the
people brought to the front. There Ia
every reason why measures of national
Importance, free from partisan or sem
tional prejudices, should receive the
prompt and patriotic consideration Of
congress in the spirit of promoting the
general welfare of the people and adj
yancing public prosperity. There are
many measures of such general char
acter already favorably reported from
committees, which failed to became laws
by reason of the pending tariff bills alb
sorbing the time and attention of con-
gress.
There * little probability of tariff dis
cussion interfering with other legislation
during the closing session of the Fiftieth
congress.
Owing to the approaching inaugural
little is heard about the converting
OF congress, and while the change of nd-
ministratfon Is more than three months
away, che probabilities and possibilities
are being constantly discussed among
che politicians. The personnel OF tho
next cabinet Is the all-absorbing topic,
but, AZ the president-elect has kept his
own counsel in the matter, the greater
