WASHINGTON, D. O., Dec. 1.-Evident
ly the President understood that he
would have tho support OF the Republic
can Senators for the passage Of the Fed
eral Elections bill, which accounts iol
the strong ground taken in the message
for the immediate enactment OF that
measure. The message had only been
read before the Senate when the Repub
lican managers arranged for caucus to
discuss means to carry out the sugges
tions OF the President on the subject ol
a national election Law. The result oil
that caucus establishes the fact that an
effort will be made to have the pending
bill passed, if not before the holidays,
at least Immediately after.
The caucus discussed two features
The immediate changing OF the rulea, to
be followed at once by the passage OF the
bill, and tho advisabiity OF endeayoring
to pass tho bill, and then, il failure re.
suited, TO change the rules as matter OF
necessity. The latter plan was the one
favored by :hc conservatives, and the
one finally adopted. There were only a
few Republican Senators who appeared
to have any objection to the latter
scheme, and a5 such it became the sense
of the caucus. In short, the Republican
Senators will give the public to under.
stand that a change OF rules first becomes
necessary before any such attempt will
be made. The federal election bill, with
this understanding, comes up in the
Senate tomorrow morning. The fight
will thus begin over again just where it
stopped when Senator Quay made an ar.
rangement with the Democratic Sena-
tors. The Democrats will use every
effort to defeat the bill, and then make
the effort to defeat any change Of -ules
that may be proposed later on. They
say they can do this.
With the Republicans practically
united in tie Senate, and with the lev
erage furnished by the Administration,
the Democrats havo now a much harder
contest on hand than tho one of last
summer. It now looks possible to pass
the Elections bill, and the Republican
managers behind it are very deter.
mined.
HossE CAUCUS.
About thirty of the Republican Rep
resentatiees met in the room of the
Committee or Appropriations. Nearly

THE DARK CONTINENT.

The Conference Of lruasels, :c devise
means for sappressing the slave trade in
Africa, afforded al opportunity for a
new expression OF the interest the Amer.
ican people feel in that great work.
1t soon became evident that the meas.
ure proposed would tax the resources OF
the Congo basin beyond the revenues
available under, the general act, could
not share in its revision, but by a sep.
arate act the independent state OF the
Congo was freed from the restriction
upon a customs revenue. The demoral.
iziug and destructive traffic in ardent
spirits among the tribes also claimed the
earnest attention Of the Conference, and
the delegates OF the United States were
foremost iu advocating measures for it's
repression. An accord was reached, the
influence OF which will be very helpful
and extend over g wide regicn. AS
coon as theae meaaures shali receive the

Meanwhile negotiations have been open.

FORE{GN RELATIONS.


The friendly relations OF our country
with the nations Of Europe and the East
have been undisturbed, while the ties
OF good will and common interest that
bind us to the states Of the Western
Hemisphere have been notably strength
ened by the conference held in this
capital to consider measures for the gen.
eral welfare.
Pursuant to the invitation authorized
by Congress the representatives OF every
independent state Of the American con.
tinent and OF Hayti met in conference
in this capital in October, 1889, and con.
tinued in session until the 10Th OF last
April. This important convention
marks most interesting epoch in the
history OF the Western Hemisphere. It
is noteworthy that Brszil, invited while
under an imperial form OF government,
shared as a republic in the deliberations
and results OF the conference. The rec.
concentrations Of this conference were
all transmitted to Congress at the last
session.
The international marine conference,
which eat at Washington last winter,
reached a very gratifying result. The
regulations suggested have been brought
to the attention OF all the governments
represented, and their general adoption
is confidently expected. The legislation
Of Congress at the last scssion is in con-
formity with the propositions OF the
conference, and the proclamation there
in provided for will be issued when the
other powers have given notice OF tn hsir
adhesion. ~
