Sent Him TO Prison.

spiracy between his sister and her hus-
man, a man named GIBBS. Whiteman
declares he was decoyed to New York
by his sister and her husband on rep
reservations that his fathers estate
was about to be settled. Arriving in
New York, he was arrested and turned
over to the California officers.

United States abstain from taking any
part in it. The government must nee
cessarily be neutral and the citizens of
this country should be careful not to
do anything that is calculated to en-
barrass the government. The fact thai,
an American vessel has been wrong
fully fired on by Spanish vessel is
referred to, as is also the fact that
numerous American citizens have been
arrested in Cuba. In these matters
the United States has promptly taken
such action as the circumstances of the
cases demanded.
The situation in Turkey is referred
to. An attempt has been made by this
government to get positive information
as to the nature and extent Of the
troubles but without snccess. The
Turkish government has positively
refused to allow any investigation to
be made. So far, no American citizens
have lost their lives because of the
riots; but much mission property has
been destroyed. The government has
two vessels in Turkish waters and the
governments of Europe have agreed to
assist in the protection of Americans.
A scheme for the improvement of the
consular service is proposed, and it is
recommended that American ambas-
sadors in foreign countries be furnished
with official residences.
The balance of the message is devo
ted to the financial question. The presi-
dent reviews the history ofgreenbacks,
shows how they were originally issued
as war measure, afterward redeem
able in coin, and re-issueable. He at
length finds the government in the
situation of owing to the holders of its
notes gold. After the gold is paid, the
notes can be re.issued and must be re-
deemed again and again. He tells how
bonds to the amount of $l62, ,OOO,O 900
have been issued to maintain the gold
reserve at 100000, 900; hut on ac-
count of the $500, 100000 of greenback
still outstanding the gold can't be kept
in the treasury. He next attacks the
free coinage Of silver idea and in con-
clusion recommends as remedy for
the whole situation the issue of long
time bonds at low rate ofinterest and
the redemption Of all greenbacks, so as
to put the country squarely on gold
basis.

TILLMAN WAS SEATED.
Report That His Right Would BE Chal-
lenged Was Unfounded.

lenged Was Unfounded.
Just before the senate convened
Tuesday, there was reports circulated
TO the effect that Senator Chandler, of
New Hampshire, would interpose an
objection TO the swearing in of Senator
Ben Tillman, of South Carolina, who
succeeds the Ex.Chesterfield of the
senate, Matthew C. Butler. There are
several petitions or memorials pending
before the senate now, urging the
senate to investigate Senator Tillman's
right to seat IN that body, charging
that his election was illegal. The doc
uments were drawn by DR.. Sampson
Pope and other Anti-Tilmanites in
South Carolina, and they were presen-
ted TO the Senate by Senator Butler
and referred to the committee on cleo
tious.
Senator Tilman's friends in the
house were greatly agitated over the
report that Senator Chandler might
oppose the formal seating of their
champion and leader, for it was feared
that he would make scene that might
operate to his advantage. Consequent
ly when the name of Senator Tillman
MAS read out by the secretary among
the list of senator-elect, who were
invited to come forward and qualify,
interest at once centered around the
South Carolinian, while many glances
were directed toward the "peppery
Senator from New Hampshire. Sena.
tor Irby, who is the colleague of Sena-
tor Tillman, being absent, Senator
George, Of Mississippi, volunteered to
90 through the ceremony of escorting
the new senator from South Carolina
to the vice presidents desk, where the
oath of office was administered. So
much has been said and written about
Ben Tiliman that he was an object OF
considerable curiosity as he advanced
down the aisle, leaning on the arm OF
Senator George. Senator Chandler
apparently paid no attention to the
proceeding and Senator Tillman was
sworn in without a murmur of objec-
ton. Then, to the surprise of all pres
ent who had heard the original report,
Senator Tillman went over to Senator
Chandler and greeted him as though
they were old acquaintances, and the
incident, so far as Senator Tillman is
concerned, was closed.-News and

SPARE MoMENTs.-A boy, poorly
dressed came to the door of the princi-
pal of'a celebrated school one morning,
and asked to see him. The servant
eyed his mean clothes and thinking he
looked more like beggar than any
thing else, told him to 20 round to the
kitchen.
II should like to see Mr.. W" said
he.
"You want breakfast, more like"
"Can see Mr.. W." asked the boy.
"Well, he is in the library; if he
must be disturbed, he must"
So she bade him follow. After talking
awhile, the principal put aside the vol
ume that he was studying and took up
some Greek books and began to exam
inc the newcomer. Every question
he asked the boy was answered readily.
"Upon my word," exclaimed the
principal, "you do well. What, my
boy, where did you pick up so much ?"
"In my spare moments" answered
the boy.
He was a hard-working lad, yet al
most fitted for college by simply i'm
proving his spare moments. A few
years later he became known all the
world over as the celebrated geologist,
Hugh Miller. What account can you
give Of your spare moments?"

Has We overheard foreman in a
manufacturing establishment the other
day exclaim, as he looked about him
and found that one of his workmen
was missing, a moment before the hour
for stopping work: "Jim has gone, has
he? He watches the time very closely,
and usually throws down his tools
about three minutes before the bell
strikes, so as to be ready to start for

shall CO." The incident carries with

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
Synopsis of the Document Read to Con-
gress Last Tuesday.

The presidents message to congress
was read in the house and senate on
Tuesday. 1t is about 1000 words in
length, and if printed in full would
make over two pages Of THE ESQUIR.
ER. There is so much of it, however,
that is of so little INTEREST to many OF
our readers, that We have decided that
a brief synopsis of it will prove more
than acceptable.
At the outset attention is called to
the separate reports of the different
heads of departments, and the atten,
ton ofthe country is invited to them
He urges the adoption of the various
suggestions made in the reports.
The recent uprising of fanatical Chi
nese against missionaries and other
Americans is referred to, and the sue.
cessful efforts Of this government, in
connection with others, to have the
rioters punished are reviewed in de.
tail.
Congress is reminded Of the fact that
the lump sum of $525, 900 assessed
against the United States by the Paris
tribunal of arbitration for damages in
flicted on British sealers has never
been paid. The president recon.
mends that congress either appropri'
ale the necessary money forthwith OF
make such arrangement as may BE-
Necessary for further arbitration.
Several paragraphs are devoted to a
reference to the boundary line between
Alaska and British Columbia and also
the line between the United States
and Canada throughout the great
lakes. The Alaska country is grow
ing in importance, and the president
thinks that settlement of the boun-
Diary now will be the means of pre-
venting serious disputes hereafter.
The uncertainties of the line through
the great lakes gives a great deal of
trouble to American fishermen on &C
count of arrests for alleged trespass in
Canadian waters. Something should
be done to establish the line in order
that fishermen should know when they
are in the jurisdiction Of the United
States and when in the jurisdiction of
Canada.
The dispute between Venezuela and
Great Britain brings out some positive
talk. The president says without
equivocation that the United States is
committed to a policy that does not
allow a forcible increase of foreign
possessions in America. The State
department has asked Great Britain
whether or not she is willing to sub
NIT her dispute to arbitration. No
answer has yet been received but
the probability is that it will be in be-
fore great while longer.
The Cuban situation is dealt with at
length. The president refers to the
fierce and sanguinary character of the
war; recommends that citizens of the
