| WAsuiNutf,x. December 3.-Immediately
after The reading of Yesterdays journal, a
message from the House was presented by
It's clerk, Mr.. Mcpherson. announcing the
organization Of that body. Then Mr.. Ed

to wait ON the President. reported that it
had performed that duty and had been in
formed by The President that he would COM
municate with the two houses by mes
sage In writing Immediately.
THE MESSAGE.
Thereupon message from the President
was announced U2;0S l.. NJ. The message
was received. and the Secretary OF the
Senate, Mr.. McCook, proceeded TO read il.
The reading occupied about an hour and
twenty-five m nutes. Ii was listened to
with apparently close attention by Senators
on both sides Of the chamber.
On motion Of Mr.. Sherman il was laid on
the table and ordered to be printed, and
then the Senate, mt 1890, adjourned until
| tomorrow.
mouse.
Immediately after the reading Of the
House journal the committee appointed 10
await upon the President and inform him
that the House was organized and ready to
proceed to business, appeared in the main
aisle. and through its chairman, Mr.. Nc
Kinley. informed the House that il had per-
formed its duty, and that the President
would communicate with the House in writ
ing forthwith.
MESSAGE IN TnK HOUSE.
Mr.. Pruden, one Of the Presidents secre-
taries, then delivered the message, which
was Immediately read by the Clerk.
But little attention was paid to the read
ing of the message, which consumed nearly
two hours. The message was ordered
printed and referred TO the Committee OF the
Whole.
CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION COMMITTEE.
Under authority given by the last Sundry
Civil Appropriation bill, the Speaker ap-
pointed Messrs. Bayne, Hit, Carter, Cul-
bersOn, of Texas, and Cummings as COM
mittee on the centennial celebration.
The House then, at 2;l5, adjourned until
Thursday.
About one hundred Democratic members
meeting tonight at the Capitol.
Mr.. Holman, of Indiana, was made chair
man Of the caucus to succeed the late Rep
resentatiye, :. ;. Cox, of New York.
The Republicans. in accordance with es-
tablshed precedent, had signitied their in
tention Of allowing the minority to select
for reapp0intment some attache of the door
keepers office, and the caucus decided Isaac
Hill. an assistant sergeant-at-arms, should
be retained as an assistant doorkeeper.
Nessrs. Wilson, of West Virginia. and
Blanchard, Of Louisiana, were reelected
secretaries Of the caucus, and then the real
business Of the evening was begun by Rep
resentative Oates. of Alabama, who offered
a resolution providing for the appointment
of a committee Of fifteen members, with ex-
Speaker Carlisle as chairman. to which
questions concerning the POLITICAL action Of
Democrats should be submitted for decision.
OPPOSITION.
This resolution brought ont bitter opposi-
tiOn from Mr.. Blount. Of Georgia, and he
started a spirited debate.
Mr.. Breckenbridge, Of Arkansas, was
also opposed TO the resolution, and moved to
table il.
Mr. Breckenridge, of Kentucky, followed
his namesake. He favored the appoint
ment Of committee ef three TO decide
questions OF party policy, from which ap-
peals could be taken TO a committee Of If
teen, like that suggested, but insisted that
the caucus should finally decide these ques-
tiOns.
AMER considerable discussion the resolu-
ton was finally laid over, and, after adopt
ing q resolution Of respect TO the memory of
the late :. :. Cox, the caucus adjourned
subject 10 the call of the chairman.
THE WORLDS FAIR.
The committees who are here as the rep
resentatiyes Of other cities that want the
Worlds Fair, find their efforts somewhat
embarrassed by the fact that many members
Of the Senate and the members OF the last
House are already pretty far committed
TO the national celebration of the four hum
dredth anniversary OF the discovery of Amer
lea. The Senate committee appointed TO
take this question under consideration by
the last Congress, is still in charge OF the
subject. and the composition of the Senate
itself is very little changed. During the
last Congress. the Senate committee made a
unanimous report in favor of the bill for the
celebration in Washington, and the bill was
passed through the Senate without the least
opposition. Ii then went over TO the House
and got n unanimous report from the
Foreign Affairs Committee, and was made a
special order in the House. IL failed only
through the fact that it was so late in the
session that ii was impossible for the orders
for special votes 10 be honored, and no vote
was ever reached on the bill.

Wool-Growers' Association opened at the

order, and briefly explained the objects and
purposes of the meeting. Mr.. Delano will
deliver his annual address tomorrow on the
conditions and necessity of the wool-grow-
ing industry.
George II. Wallace, Of Missouri, was to-
day selected to act as secretary Of the con-
yenton.
After the appointment Of committees on
organization and amendments TO the con-
stitution. the delegates called in body at

spects to Secretary Window and Assistant
