QUIETLY RECEIVED.
How Congress Listened to
the Message.
SOME SENATORS ATTENTIVE.
But nore Paid No Heed, and Many
Went Away Before the Reading
Was Finished.
Special to THE MORNING CALI.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Tn the Senate, as
soon as the Secretary finished reading the
journal, messenger handed him the Presi-
dents message, which he proceeded 70 read.
The commercial and business statistics
given in the first part of the message and
his sarcastic paragraph as to the supposed
effects of the tariff for revenue seemed to
meet general approval on the Republican
side Of the chamber. They attracted little
attention on the other side. During the
reading Democratic Senate were for the
most part chatting listlessly with each other
or attending to correspondence, while the
Republican Senators paid the President the
compliment OF giving the message their un-
divided attention. The various other sub
jects discussed in the message, however,
seemed to have very little interest for Sem
ators on either side. The Democrats made
no pretense of listening and tbs attention of
the Republicans showed a marked falling
off. The seats In the diplomatic gallery
were occupied throughout the reading of
the message by the Spanish Minister and the
first secretaries Of the German and Russian
legations.
4 petition was presented By PETER from
citizens of Kansas alleging the existence OF
combination between the elevators, mill
eTs anu railrOauS AT Mlnn6ap0lfs ana St.
Louis to depreciate the price OF grain. II
was referred to the Committee on Agricul-
ture.
Chandler introduced a bill for the sus-
pension Of immigration for one year.
Vest introduced joint resolution which
he said he would call up tomorrow for the
appointment by the President of three CON-
missionels to confer with the proper au-
thorities OF the five civilized tribes of In
dian Territory with view TO making such
agreement and arrangement as to Undue
them to take homesteads in seyeralty and
sell the remainder Of their lands TO the
United States.
Vest also offered resolution reciting the
allegation in the public press charging gross
misconduct on the part Of census employees.
and especially of the enumeratoIs, in the
State OF Missouri, who are said TO have
taken lists of voters for partisan use ;and also
charging that certain clerks of the Census
Bureau were sent to the State Of New York
during the recent election TO perform part-
san service, and directing that an investi-
cation Of such charges be made by the Sem
ate Committee on Census. This started a
political discussion, which lasted for some
time. and the resolution went over.
The Senate then, on motion Of Sherman,
went into executive session, and immedi-
ately aGterward adjourned.

SMACkS OF RETALIATION.
Senator Frye Introduces a Bill Aimed
at Canada.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 6-The bill intro
duced by Frye in the Senate to-day smacks
strongly Of retaliation. 1t amends the laws
regulating the transportation Of goods by
declaring that the carrying Of merchandise
from one part of the United States to
another In vessel belonging wholly or In
part to the subject OF any foreign power via
any foreign port shall be deemed viola
ton OF the law. Thelsailing OF any foreign
vessel from one United States port to
another Is not prohibited. provided no mer-
chandise other than that imported In such
vessel from some foreign port be carried.
The bill provides that the President may by
proclamation suspend the right of carrying
merchandise in bond through the United
States as provided for in the bill In case the
Dominion Of Canada should at any time
deprive American citizens of the use of its
canals on terms of equality with its own
Citizens.

Halcyon returned to British territory and
landed the cargo near Victoria, and was
afterward seized by the revenue officers.

garded as the firm friend of the people of
Utah and Idaho as opposed to the Mormon
hierarchy, is now found Narrayed on the
side OF the Saints. In the caucus OF Re-
publican Senators yesterday afternoon he

Utah, expatiating upon the resources of the

have great hopes of being able to induce
Senators Sh0up, Carey and Warren TO join
Dubois In voting for the admission of Utah.
Several other Senators. including STAN
ford, are expected to favor the Mormons,

the admission of Utah at this session, along
with Arizona and New Mexico. Some Of the
Republican Senators believe that 1t might
be good politics TO anticipate the action O.
the Democrats by admitting these two last
named territories. believing that they are
close Territories politically, and that their
admission at this time would increase the
Republican strength.
Concerning Utah. however. there are very
few Republicans who would be willing to
vote for its admission, and 1t is believed
that enough Democrats would oppose 1t to
Offset these few Republican votes.
