FOR FREE COINAGE.

Advocates of the White Metal Prominent
in the Transmississippi Congress.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 2S.-The develop
ments of the second days session of
the transmississippi congress have not
been without interest for the advocates
of the free coinage of silver. who have
been anxious to secure definite expires.
sion from the congress in favor of the
white metal
Not alone have the minor features,
such as warm applause when free coin
age was mentioned, been encouraging,
but the organization of the committee
on resolutions, with Congressman w.
j. Bryan of Nebraska as chairman and
R. A. Marshall of Texas as secretary,
has been highly delighting. Neverthe-
less there is as yet no certainty that the
matter will 60 beyond this. In the
convention there is strong element in
favor of international free coinage only
and another opposed to any expression
whatever upon the subject by the con-
gress. Whether the bimetallists will
be strong enough to overcome both
these elements cannot be told. Yet
there is certainty that the main
struggle will be upon this portion of
the resolution committee report and
the battle will not be of brief duration.

PAY THE POOR FIRST.
Certain Claims Against a Defunct Invest

Certain Claims Against q Defunct Invest-
ment Company Made Preferred.
DUBUQUE, Ia, Nov. 30.-''Pay the
poor first" is the spirit of the order is
sued by Judge Shiras to Receiver
Allen of the American Investment
company of Emmetsburg, Ia. June z,
when the receiver was appointed,
claims aggregating 100000 had been
filed FOR collection on the mortgages
which President Ormsby had failed to
remit to the mortgage holders. Judge
Shiras Thursday night heard the COM
plant of Eliza CARROLL, whose little $500
was invested in one Of these mortgages,
and he ordered the receiver to prefer all
such claims. The assets applicable to
this purpose are just about sufficient.
A Scheme of Capitalists.
The mortgages held by the Mercan-
tile Trust company Of New York are to
be sold i'll that city Dec. IA, to redeem
the debentures. If Judge Shiras had
not made this order it would have been
practicable for New York spectators
holding most of the debentures to carry
out a plan they had formed to buy
these mortgages below their value and
present a claim to the receiver for the
remainder necessary to satisfy the de-
bentures. Now, however, the re-
sources of the receiver will be used
first in paying the preferred claims.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

Synopsis of the Recommendations to Con-
gress.
WASHINGTON Dec. 3.-The presi.
dents message to congress is in large
measure made up of review of the
reports of his cabinet officers, and en-
dorsement of their recommendations,
together with review of our foreign
relations. The China-Japan incident
is not touched upon
The financial scheme of Secretary
Carlisle. providing for more elastic
currency is endorsed. The plan as
elucidated contemplates the establish
ment of state banks under Proper re.
strictions which will be allowed to is
sue bank notes.
He recommends also that coal and
iron be placed on the free list and that
the differential Oh sugar be abolished.
The workings of the civil service law
are commended and its further extern
promised.
In regard to the recent strike Presi.
dent Cleveland recommends that the
recommendations of the commissioners
who were appointed to inquire into it's
causes and results be given force by
appropriate legislation.
Some changes in the postal laws re-
lating to second class matter (periodi.
cals) he thinks absolutely necessary.

NEW WARsHIPs.

Secretary Herbert Wants Congress to Au.
thorize Their Construction.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3O.-The most
important recommendation made by
Secretary Herbert in his annual report
is that congress authorize the construc-
ton of three great battleships of about
10000 tons displacement each, to cost,
exclusive of armament, not exceeding
1000, 600 each, and IL torpedo boats OF
from 100 to 300 tons each, at the discre.
ton of the secretary, to cost not ex-
ceeding an average of $4,000.
Since his last report five splendid
ships have been added to the naval list,
three of which are capable of speed in
excess of 81 knots, while two of
them are the fleetest cruisers in
the world. The five vessels are
the Marblehead, Columbia, Olympia,
Montgomery and Minneapolis. One
important change of naval policy is
noted in connection with the ADVERTISE
ments for three new torpedo boats,
soon to be issued. The secretary SAYS
that no speed premiums will be allowed
Oh these boats; that the premium sys-
tenn undoubtedly had it's advantages
when adopted, but the department is
now convinced that the time has come
when, with the experience gained, it
may with profit be abandoned.
In conclusion the secretary submits
estimates for the next year, aggregat-
ing $27, 1856, 914, exceeding the current
appropriations by 5,4o5, 1913, caused
mainly by the necessity of paying for
vessels now under contract. 1t is
stated that after this year the appro-
priations on this score will rapidly di-
minish-falling from $13, 1913 next
year, to $3.50. 900 in the following year.

THE NEXT CONGRESS.
UNOFFICIAL LIST OF MEMBERS SENT
TO THE PRINTER.

Republicans Will Have Twc-thirds OF
the Whole Number Of Seats Only
Thirteen Northern Democrats on the
Rolls ~ Twenty-eight Contests Likely.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 28.-Not until
1ow have the officials of the house felt
sufficient confidence in their unofficial
list of representatives to send it to the
printer. AS finally prepared the list
shows 244 Republicans, 1O4 Democrats,
8 Populists, silver, and Vacant.
The Republicans will constitute moro
than two-thirds of the house member
ship. Sectionally the Republican ma.
jority will be divided as follows:
New England states 26, Old Middle
states Sc, Middle Western states 90; Far
Western states %, Southern states, 80.
Few Northern Democrats.
The Democrats secure only 10 men,
bers in the Northern states. California
and Massachusetts contribute one each;
Illinois. Ohio and Pennsylvania two
each and New York five. The Demo-
Gratis secure six solid state delegations,
those of Arkansas, Florida, Georgia,
Louisiana, Mississippi and South Caro-
lima; the Republicans secure 10 solid
delegations, those OF Connecticut, Della
ware, Idaho, Indian, Iowa, Maine,
Michigan, Minnesota, Montana. New
Hampshire, New Jersey, North Dakota,
Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota,
Vermont, Washington, West Virginia
and Wisconsin.
Twenty-eight Contests.
In all 70 contests may be made from
the Southern states and a majority of
them are to be instituted by Republi-
can candidates against Democrats, but
it now appears probable that there will
not be so many. Mr.. Myers, who it
was expected would wage contest for
the seat from the Sixth Arkansas dis
trict, is now quoted as saying that he
will make no effort to secure the seat
in the face of the fact that his oppon-
ent is credited with a 5000 majority.
Late advices also indicate that Lee
Crandall will abandon the contest
against General Wheeler, for the seat
from the Eighth Alabama district.

IN THE HOUSE.
Little in the Way of Legislation Likely ia
BE Accomplished.

Little in the Way of Legislation Likely to
BE Accomplished.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.--Beyond the
passage of the regular appropriation
bills, it seems probable that little in the
way of legislation will be accomplished
at the short session of congress, al
though several important propositions
will doubtless be pressed to the front.
Among the members of the dominant
party in the house, over half of whom
were defeated for reelection, there is a
great deal of bitter feeling against the
administration for real or fancied
grievance. 1t will be the purpose of
the Democratic leaders to curb as far
as possible the display Of resentment,
but the Republicans will spare no pains
to provoke and goad their defeated adj
versaries into letting loose
Their Walls of Wrath.
In the course of the session it is under
stood the Nicaragua canal project will
ba brought prominently forward. The
impeachment of Judge Kicks of the
Northern district of Ohio will also
furnish diversion before the holidays
if the judiciary committee, which in
vestigated the charges, should present
resolution of impeachment and it
should carry. The trial would occur in
the senate, the chief justice presiding.
Impeachment proceedings are rare and
novel, and this one, the first since the
trial of President johnson, would at
tract national attention. No definite
programme has been arranged in the
house for the week. The committee on
appropriations, however, has two bills
almost prepared, the pensions and for
tifications bills, and they will be re-
ported at once.

CONGRESS IN SESSION
LAWMAKERS AGAIN GATHER At
WASHINGTON.

The Session Likely to he q Very Quiet One,
Little in the Way of Legislation Having
Been Mapped Out by Party Leaders
The Presidents Message.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 3.-The last SEES
sion of the Fifty third congress began
at noon. The senate session began
with full calendar, the result of COM
mittee action during the long session,
and it contains at least 200 items, COW
ering wide range of matters. Moth
ing has transpired to indicate which of
these 200 questions will receive first at
tention, whether they will be taken in
their order, or whether the calendar
will be followed at all.
There appears to be nothing outside
of financial or tariff questions likely to
excite ripple during the week, and it
is not certain that, whatever may hap
pen later in the session, there will be
much in these lines to disturb the gen.
eral serenity of the senate during the
next few days. When it gets to bust
ness the senate may take up the calen.
dar in regular order, or it may proceed
to consider out of order some of the
more important bills which have been
reported, such as those for the admis-
sion of Arizona and New Mexico or the
bankruptcy, anti-option or Nicaragua
hill

Boston, Nov. %. Further lnforma-
ton al to the massacre Of the Armeni-
ans near Bitlis, Turkey, has been re-
ceived by Secretary Guilson Of the
United Friends Of Armenia One let
ter dated Bitlas. Sept. 90, gives the in
formation that news has been received
from the region back of Moosh that AZ
villages are said to have been wholly
blotted out.
Another letter dated Bitlas, Oct. 8.
states that the day previous letter
from Moosh had been received which
told of the outbreak of virulent form
of cholera, which was killing from %
to 80 persons daily. It is caused, it is
said, by the stencil of carnage which
has taken place not far back in the
mountains. The number of massacred
will reach between 5000 and 10000.
The People Refused to Sign.
The government tried to get the peo-
pie here to sign petition to the sover-
eign expressing satisfaction with his
rule, and disclaiming sympathy with
the Armenians who have stirred mat
tiers up" The people have refused to
sign the address.
Another letter, dated Constantinople,
Oct. 81, 1894, states that from informa-
ton received from Bitlas, ~ villages
have been annihilated in Sassoum, and
5000 men, women and children have
been massacred by the troops
and Kurds. The massacre occurred in
the early part of September. The mas
sacre was the result of an ARRAY be-
tween some Kurds and Armenian vii
layers from whom the Kurds had stolen
their focks. The sultan ordered in
fantry and cavalry to the scene to put
down the Armenian rebellion.
