HEARS THE MESSAGE.
But Little Other Business Transacted
in Either House.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The information
furnished by the press that the President
would to-day send to congress his anxiously
looked-for message relative to the Chilean
troubles had the effect of bringing to the
capitol large number Of visitors. At pre-.
cisely noon Speaker Crisp assembled to the
chair, and his colleagues, without regard to
party, warmly greeted him as he reassumed
the reins of authority, laid down SO long on
account of sickness. The chaplain in his
prayer, feelingly alluded to the death Of
Justice Bradley.
During the call of the states, Mr.. Pruden.
one of the Presidents secretaries, appeared
at the door of the House and was announced
by the assistant doorkeeper. He elivered
the message of the chief executive relating
to the Chilean troubles, and the call having
been suspended, the message was immedi-
ately laid before the House. The buzz of
conversation which usually prevades the
chamber was instantly hushed and every
member dropped the work upon which he
waS engaged and became an attentive
listener. The spectators in the,galleries, too,
evidently appreciated the gravity of the
situation, and there was none of that noise
which so frequently interrupts the DELI
atoms Of the House.
