MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT.

President Cleveland submitted 10 con-
gress Monday special message on the
financial situation. The document was
listened TO with the keenest interest. A
leading feature of the presidents recon-
mendations is the reception al par Of the
coin note for he new bonds, 10 be can
celed by the secretary Of the treasury.
He also indorSeS the old proposition 10
permit the national banks 10 issue eircu-
laton To the par va Ne OF the bonds, in
stead OF the 90 per cent limit at present
existing, thus paving the way for taking
up the governments notes and getting
the national banks TO fill the gap. He
also goes back To the plan OF opera ton
during the war, the payment OF customs
duties in gold coin, in which manner the
treasury was at all times in receipt OF
sufficient gold 10 meet the interest accru-
ing on the public debt. Mr. Cleveland
insists upon the maintenance OF national
honor in matters fnancial; admits the
practical ia lure Of the two recent bond
issues. and suggests that the secretary
of the treasury be granted powers sutii-
cient for emergencies. An important
bill from the finance committee accom-
panied the message.
When the gist of the message had been
understood there was great deal Of
comment in both the senate and the
house. The silver men in both bodies
were undeniably disguised at the fact
that the president had apparently ig
nored them entirely. On the other hand,
the representatives OF sound money con-
stituencies were without regard 10 party

craftsmanship. Among the eastern re-
publicans especially favorable comment
on the message was general, but at the
same time the leaders Of the party were
as rule unwilling TO be quoted. They
said they did not care TO commit them
selves on a financial scheme which was a
mere proposition and they wished 10 see
whether il would be taken up by the
democrats.

not so much needed As the retirement Of

In the senate the expression OF opinion
was much more cautious, as that body

introduced by Mr.. Springer. which was
drawn up at the treasury department
and undoubtedly represents the prest-

amendment. but that il j., hardly proba-

the inn at Newton Square, and when
not keeping the inn he kept store, so
that there were always people to see

people To be seen were members of

"One day Benjamin was left to watch
his sisters baby. which had been rocked
to sleep. and lay in wooden cradle.
He thought it tiresome business to sit
quietly and keep HES oil baby, when

presently the baby smiled in its sleep,
and he thought she looked very pretty,

slept well and the portrait was quite

When she saw what Benjamin had done
she caught up the paper. exclaiming
dehghtedly to her daughter:

her 6-year-old boy in her arms and
kissed HIM"
At this point Helen usually inter-

Nellie BLY, Was welded.

New YORK, April 13.-''Nellie Bly,"
who is one of the best-known newspaper
women in this country, is no longer Miss
Elizabeth Cochran. She is now Mrs.
Robert Seaman. Her husband is one of
the directors of the Merchants Exchange
bank and 'multimillionaire. He IS
nearly 20 years old. In business and
financial circles he is as well known as
his wife to the devotees of the Sunday
newspapers. The reports of the mar
riage, which came from Chicago, were
quite correct. It occurred April at the
rectory of the Church of the Ephiphany,
on Ashland avenue of that city. The
Rev. T, III. Morrison performed the cere-
mony. The contracting parties had met
at dinner in the Auditorium hotel two
weeks before, and formed an instant at
tachment.
Miss Cochran did her first newspaper
work on the Pittsburgh Dispatch, which
was when she was 15 years old. She has
been engaged in similar work in New
York for eight years, and became famous
for the sensational character of her con
tributions to newspaper literature. One
of her first exploits was to feign insanity
and have herself incarcerated in the
Blackwell island asylum for the purpose
of describing her experiences. Her trip
around the world in 72 days in 1890 gave
her considerable notoriety.

Secretary Carlisle will deliver two
speeches on the subject of the currency,
but largely devoted to silver. He will
probably speak once in Kentucky and
once in Tennessee in May. His Ken
lucky speech may be at Louisville, al
though there have been requests from
his old home in Lexington to talk there.
In Tennessee he will speak at Memphis
or Nashville. Other members of the
cabinet will speak on the silver ques-
tion, although no place has been fixed
on. They believe that a campaign of
education on the money question will
have the effect of checking the move
ment toward free silver, which they be-
lieve has been a serious menace to the
integrity Of the democratic party.

AS Port Arthur is within the limits of
the great province OF Mantchura, this
demand. if persisted in, would conflict
directly with the Russian ultimatum de-
livered at the very beginning of hostili-
ties, and repeated more than once since
in a semioficial manner, to-wit:
That she could not permit the acquisi-
ton by Japan of any portion of Mant-
churia.
officials of the state department are
confident that within the last few DAYS
the Japanese demand on this point has
been modified SO as to permit only the
temporary occupation of Port Arthur,
perhaps only SO long as the war indem-
nifty shall remain unpaid. To such
stipulation, it is said, no reasonable OBJ
ton could be made, as it would be based
upon the precedent set by Germany in
imposing terms of peace upon France
when she retained the great French
fortress of Belfort until the indemnity
was paid. The practical effect of this in
that case was to cause the French to pay
the war indemnity in a space of time
far shorter than was allowed by the
treaty, in order to escape the humilia-
ton of foreign occupancy of French ter
ritory.
OF course, if Japan follows a similar
course in respect to Port Arthur, the
Russian government will make sure that
she has ample guarantee that the occu
pied port will be evacuated within fixed
period of time. 1t is also pointed out
that Japan may Justly make such de.
mand for the temporary possession of
Port Arthur, as the means of insuring
herself against retaliatory war by
China, until the feeling of resentment
may have worn away, for, by the oc-
cupancy of this strategic point, the
Chinese would find it almost impossible
keep their communication open be-
tween Peking and the sea in case of
renewal of hostilities.
On the whole, officials here, assuming
that Japan pursues policy of modera-
ton, see nothing in this news from Rus
sia calculated to prevent the consumma-
tion of peace, unless it should perhaps
encourage the Chinese to endeavor to re-
cede from the terms already practically
agreed upon, in the hope of securing
better treatment from Japan while the
latter nation is under apprehension of
Russian Intervention.

AsH1NaroN, April 19.-The Shanghai

AsHINGToN, April 13.-The Shanghai
cablegram, stating that japan had pre-
sented to Ii Hung Chang an ultimatnm
to accept or reject the final peace terms
by tomorrow, is conceded by diplomats
to present the latest phase of the ques-
ton and clear up Misrepresentation on
the subject. The cablegram was shown
to the secretary of the Japanese legation,
who said that, while the legation had
nothing further than the advices of yes
terday, yet the Shanghai report appeared
consistent with the status of affairs as
understood at the legation. The armis-
tice ran many days more, he said, yet
Japan doubtless did not want the final
agreement postponed until the last hour.
The army would be held in allegiance
until then, but it would be quite desira-
BILE that an agreement should be def
nitely reached beforehand, in order that
there should be no embarrassment in
holding the army dependent on a sudden
determination seven days hence. The
negotiations had first brought out what
Japan expected and what China was
differences between those positions,
Japan finally made some concessions.
These represented the largest conces-
sions possible, and were in the nature of
an ultimatum.
At the Chinese legation it was said
that no news had been received regard
ing the report cabled from Shanghai,
that Japan had given China one day in
which to accept or refuse the terms of
peace. Neither had the legation received
any confirmation of the advices from
Japan, that an understanding had been
reached, and there is a strong disposi-
tion on the part OF the Chinese to regard
the report as premature. An ominous
lull has occurred since the first brief dis
patch came from Japan that an under
standing had been reached. Yet the
concessions leading to the agreement
have not been reported, and it is stated
they will not be made known for week.
There is no doubt China has appealed to
Russia and other European nations
against the terms Japan originally pro-
posed.
An interesting question arises as to
whether the unmistakable threats of
Russia, and the appeal of that nation for
Intervention by the powers, was ante
cedent or subsequent to the peace under
standing reported yesterday between
japan and China. The view of the state
department officials is that the adyices
from Russia are really based upon the
status of the peace negotiations several
days ago, and that since then the Japan
ese conditions have been materially
modified, and are now assuming such
shape as to make them more agreeable
to Russia or to other powers. AS offic.
tally stated, among the original japanese
demands was one for the absolute ces
sion of Port Arthur. Although no
