Washington, Dec. 1S-Several senators
are thoroughly in earnest about the Presl-
dents message and propose to back him
up in the most substantial manner. There
have been numerous conferences of sena-
tors, and there appears to be somewhat
practical unanimity that an appropriation

London, Dec. 1S.-United States Ambas-
sador Bayard was a guest this evening at
the dinner at the actors benevolent fund,
and responded to a toast which was
warmly given by Comyns Carr. the art

toast was received standing, and with
loud cheers.
Mr.. Bayard was enthusiastically re-

ground. There was no sea between them

Carr, who had spoken of the impossibility
of certain divisions. He thanked God that

SELECTION OF THE COMMISSION.
Congress TO Insist on Their COnfrma-
ton by the Sennte.


Washington. Dec. 1S.-The bill which
the House passed to-day with such una
nimity and enthusiasm, providing for the
commission TO Venezuela, in accordance
with the recommendation of the President,
will be laid before the Senate tomorrow.
Contrary to the general expectation it
will not be passed by that body. In
addition to this the resolution passed by
the House for the holiday recess to begin
next Friday, will not be agreed to by the
Senate. Congress will be in session until
next Tuesday at the present outlook, and
it may be here until even a later date
The republican senator's and, indeed, many
of the democrats are averse
to the nga giving which the wolG IFesiqent ba vested
in him by the House resolution. 1t will
be insisted, i'm the first place, that the COM
missioners shall be nominated to and
confirmed by the Senate, instead of having
them named by the President, without
any check whatever upon his selection
In view of the important and responsible
duties which the commissioners will per-
form, the senators feel that there should
be some investigation into the character
of the men who are chosen In addition
to this, there is in the House resolution
the commissioners should report; and this
was felt to be an oversight which should
be remedied.
Other considerations antagonistic to the
resolution were also brought forward,
and the republican senators heard with
considerable relief the announcement that
in the Senate tomorrow Senator Nor
gan would move that the House resolu-
ton would be referred to the committee
on foreign relations. This motion will be
carried
Before the resolution again makes its
appearance ii will have been consdera-
bly, changed, but it will be submitted
privately to senators for their approval,
so that when public action is asked, the
vote of the Senate upon it will be unan-
imous.

FRANCE WOULD NOT AID ENGLAND
The GaulOis Shrin1xs at the Possible
Consequences of War.

Paris, Dec. 1s.-The Gaulois says that
the consequences of a war between the
United States and England are altogether
too great to admit that they are possible.
The writer contrasts the position of an
American pre-empowered TO invoke the
country to war with that of the president
of France who is under restraint Of the
chambers.
The Republique Francaise, the Presse
and the Soir, while they do not endorse
President Cleveland's Interpretation of
the Monroe doctrine, gioat over Eng
lands dilemma and warn her that she
need not look for any help from France.
