WASHINGTON, Nov. 20, 1894.
No message ever written by President
Cleveland was more attentively listened to
than That sen. in today. The general top
ic' treated by the message, including the
foreign relations Of the government, were
al 'hat any democrat could desire. and the
financial recommendations cannot be fully
understood until considered in connection
| with Secretary Carlisle's annual report. to
DC sent to Congress tomorrow, which con-
'ains The details of the plan for a reform Of
the currency of the country which the
President so strongly endorses in his mes
sage. What will he the result of these
haaneiai recommendations i, will be i'm

Speaker Crisp looked quite as good
natured when hs wrapped the House to
order as he could possibly have locked had
majority of the House been cs fortunate
as himself in getting reelected, and his
own reelection to the Speaker ship been as
sured. Indeed, the most noticeable fea-
ture on the democratic side Of the House.
aside from The entirely too numerous
empty chairs. was the prevailing good
nature OF those who were defeated Last
month. If the republicans expected to see
an array Of long faces they were disap-
pointed.
There have been number of informal
conferences of democratic Senator's and
Representatives for the purpose of discuss-
irg the probability of reaching an agree
ment on programme for the session. and
there is some talk Of holding a joint eau
Gus and requiring every man Who attends
to pledge himself 10 stand by whatever
programme The caucus adopts. IL pledges
could be secured from sufficient number
to control both House and Senate that
would be an excellent idea, but IL is Ger
tain that there are six or more democratic |
Senators who would not pledge themselves. |
