WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The opening day
of the regular session in the house passed
without unusual incident of any character,
The formalites attending the Inauguration
of the session were dry and except as a

thronged the public AMI private galleries.
Yet, with few exceptions, the visitors stayed
through the whole proceedings.
Mr.. Dingley. the floor leader of the ma
iority; Mr., Bailey, the recognized leader OF
the minority, and Mr.. Grosvenor of Ohio
enjoyed the distinguished honor OF being
appointed to wait upon the president, whose
message was, of course, the event of the
day. Its reading was long and tedious, but
1t was followed with close attention by the
members and the spectators in the CALLER
les. There was no demonstration until the
reading vas concluded, when the republicans
joined in hearty expression of approval.
Immediately after the reading of the mes
sage, the house adjourned out OF respect
to the memories of Senator George of Mis-
sssippi and Representative Wright OF Mas
sachusetts, who had died during the recess.
At fifteen minutes before noon the fooI
was cleared Of all persons except members
and officers. Soon afterward Mr.. Bailey oil

BERLIN Dec. 6.-When Emperor William
received the president of the Reichstag,
Baron Won Buol Won Berenberg, and Herren
Schmidt and Palm yesterday, his majesty
spoke of the momentous labors to be ac-
complished by the Reichstag and pointed
out that on that very day his only brother,
Prince Henry, had bid farewell to the grand
duke of Baden and his mother. the eX-Em-
press Frederick, in order to devote his ener-
gles to the service OF the fatherland in
Asia,
His majesty then emphasized his de-
termination to extend the most complete pro-
lection to the German missions in foreign
countries. alluded to the recent events in
Hayti. and to various political and economic
questions, adding that he trusted the Reich
stag would become convinced of the necessity
for the naval increase demanded.
Replying to the suggestion that apprehen-
slons We're entertained in parliamentary cir
cles about prejudlcing the action of the new
parliament by fixing the naval expenditures
for number OF years, Emperor William said
future Reichstags would in no case dlsavcw
the present one, IL the latter was convinced
that the proposed increase must be com
pleted in seven years.
Finally his majesty spoke OF the general
position OF the affairs OF the world, which
he said admitted of no delay in the mat.

PORT AU PRINCE, Dec. 6.-The trouble
between Germany and Hayti, as a result of
the arrest and Imprisonment OF Herr Lue-
ders, reached crisis today. Two German
cruisers entered this port during the morn
ing and an ultimatum from the German gov
ernment was delivered to the Haytian gov
ernment giving the latter eight hours in
which to grant the demands of Germany for
an indemnity to Herr Lueders.
The members of the diplomatic corps here
believe the government of the republic has
decided to accept the conditions of Ger
many
In anticipation of trouble the citizens of
German nationality sought refuge yesterday
on board two steamers which were at this
port and the French steamer Vile de Mar
seille has been requisitioned by the French
minister in order to serve as a place of
refuge for French citizens. The Vile de
Marseille has arrived from Port Orico.
The population of this place is in state
OF great anxiety, but the Haytian govern
ment has strong forces of troops at its dis
posa and resolved to maintain order.
PEOPLE ARE CALM

cabled earlier today that the government
will accept the conditions imposed by Ger
many SO far as money indemnity is con-
cerned and 1t is also probable that yielding
to superior force and in order to avoid in
ternal troubles, the government will accept
the other conditions.
The exact nature Of Germany's demands
on Hayti is as yet somewhat in doubt but
It Is understood that the German govern
ment asks:
for Herr Lueders
Second, the promise that Herr Lucders
may return to Hayti and there sojourn
without danger of any kind.
Third, a letter to the German govern
ment, In which Hayti will express apology
for the proceedings toward the German
government in the whole transaction.
Fourth that the president of Hayu shall
graciously receive the German charge d
affaires at Port au Prince.
1t Is this fourth demand to which the
most serious exception has been taken by
the Haytian government, as affectne
Hayti's honor and involving n deep humil
iation for 1t was Count Schwerin, the Ger
man charge d affaires at Port au Prince
who went before President Simon Sam ant
rudely submitted the demand for indem
nifty and apology.

lister for foreign affairs, said referring Il
Hayti: 1--WE are not satisfied with the mere
release of Herr Lueders, and have demanded
satisfaction and compensation for his illega
Incarceration, which was contrary to Haytiai
and international laws. We hope the govern
ment of Hayti will accept our Legitimate
and moderate demands, as in addition to tn
justice of our claim we have the will ant
the power to enforce it,"

says the negotiations OF the Austrian premier,
Baron Won Gautsch Won Fmnkenthurn, with
the various parties are progressing toward
an arrangement on the language question.
The young Czechs, It appears, are willing to
agree to a division OF Bohemia into three
language territories-Czech, German and
mixed. The premier made proposition on
this baels to the German parties. The
greatest difficulty, II is added. is found in the
fact that the Czechs insist that the officials
throughout Bohemia must speak both
languages. To this the Germans are
opposed.
