PURELY A PRIVATE TRIP.
Public Business Did Not Take Mr.. Jor-
dan to England.

SOUTHAMPTON, Nov. 24.-Among the
passengers on the American steamer Ber-
lin, which arrived here this morning, was
Mr.. Conrad N. Jordan, assistant United
States treasurer at New York. Several re-
ports have been circulated regarding the
object of ahls visit to this country, one
being that he was to negotiate a gold loan,
and another that his mission was connected
with the American tariff.
A representative of the United Press in
terviewed Mr. Jordan at Southampton to
learn definitely what he had come to Eng
land for. He stated positively that his visit
was purely private one, and declared that
he was merely taking holiday. He knew
nothing about the alleged gold loan. He re-
fused to talk about the conditions prevail
ing in the United States.
Mr.. Jordan left Southampton Immediately
upon the arrival Of the Berlin and pro-
ceeded to London

II Is now said that Col. j. Hampton Hoge
OF virginia, consul at Annoy, China, will
not return to Washington to answer the
charges filed against him at the State De-
partment, but instead will proceed to his
nome at Roanoke Va, and forward his
resignation to the President. The report
that Consul Hoge's appointment has been
revoked is contradicted at the State De-

MESSAGE
Intense Interest Felt in What the
President Will Say.
PARTICULARLY AS TO HAWAII.
The Communication Expected on
the First Day Of the Session.
CONG RESS ORGANIZED.

Washington has settled down into the
belief that the first authentic news as to
Minister Willis instructions In the Ha-
waiian complication will be laid before the
country in President Cleveland's message
TO Congress, when it reassembles on Mon
day week in regular session.
All preliminary dead wood in the matter
OF organization and election and installa-
tion Of officers of both houses of Congress
having been cleared away by the extra
session, 1t is regarded as highly probable
that the Presidents message will be sent
In on Monday. instead of being delayed
until the second day Of the meeting. as on
FORMER occasions.
Can Get to Work at Once.
This year there is nothing to prevent
both houses Immediately on their as
sembling appointing a joint committee to
wait upon the President and inform him
that they are ready to receive any COM
munication he may have to make to them
And apparently there is no reason why the
President should not authorize the joint
committee to reply that he will immedi-
ately communicate to them "a message in
writing"

his long years Of faithful silent service has
never carried from the White House a

Interest In the Message.
Interest In the Presidents financial mes
sage OF August last was confined to the one
topic OF silver, and was to a great extent
discounted by previous intimations, more or
less accurate, as to its probable contents
The celebrated tariff message of Mr..
Cleveland in 1887 was a surprise, and there
was little preliminary anticipation of its
contents. This year the message is ex-
pected to cover not only recommenda tions
as to the tariff and further financial legis-
lation, but also dramatic disclosures as to
Questlons OF foreign policy as to which
tne whole nation has been strung I'D to a
pitch OF excited interest
Former Messages on Foreign Affairs.
Several important matters affecting our
relations with foreign powers have first
reached the public through presidential
messages in recent years. President Har-
rsons announcement in 1890 of his re-
movai Of Minister Miner for his conduct
In regard to the killing of Gen. Barrundia
BY the Guatemalan authorities on board a
Pacific mail steamer was a scoop" on the
press So, also, in less degree was his
communication of the critical character of
our relations with the provisional govern
ment OF Chile in regard to the attack on
tne sailors OF the Baltimore in the streets
OF Valparaiso.
The Hawaiian Question.
But there has never before been a great
question of foreign policy involved in such
dense obscurity at the opening of Congress
as Is the action which the United States
may or may not have taken by this time
In regard to the provisional government of
Hawaii MIR. C1eveland's message on this
point will have an interest greater than

THE sanitary condition of Van street.

On the north side of the street is a row of

partly wood of the same character, all un-
fit for habitation. On the south side is a

The largely increased size of Ro-
