WORK OF CONGRESS

Washington, Dec: 6.-When the SEN
ate convened yesterday to begin the
closing session of the Fifty-ffth con-
gress the chamber presented notable
and beautiful appearance. BY IL
o'clock the public and private galleries
were filed almost to their capacity
with distinguished assemblage, in
GLIDING many ladies in brilliant attire.
On the floor of the senate the display
Of flowers was unusually beautiful,
even for the oueuing day of a session
Of congress- The odor of the flowers
filled the chamber The memorable
scenes enacted in the chamber during
the last session and the momentous
events that have occurred since con-
igress last adjourned, created a feeling
OF Intense expectancy, both by the
spectators and members Of the senate.
This was made manifest by the long
lines Of people in the corridors anxious
to gain admission to the galleries, and
by the early arrival Of senators on the
floor. Through courtesy of the vice
president the members of the joint
high commission We're admitted to the
floor OF the senate and were the re-
cipients Of much attention. During
recess Of three-quarters of an hour,
while the senate was awaiting the pre-
sentation of the message from the
president from the president, the men,
'bers Of the joint high commission held
an Informal levee, greeting personally
nearly all the members of the Ameri-
can senate. The reading Of the Dresi-
dents message. which occupied two
hours and eighteen minutes. was re-
ceived with very careful attention for
IN hour, but after that the senator's
drifted to the cloak rooms and to the
committee rooms, where they could
peruse the message at their leisure in
the printed copies which had been
furnished.

paris Dec. 13-The treaty of peace
was signed at $40 Saturday evening.
Tbn document was prepared by Secre-
torv Moore on behalf of the American
oommissi0n. and by Senior Villa Rutia
Cow Snoin. on account of the continued
illness Of Secretary Ojeda, of the
Cnonish commission. Each copy con-
tans the English and Spanish texts of
thp treaty in parallel columns. The
wording had been approved previous
" liz the commissions without a joint
meeting, SO there was no controversy
m thiS subject. The signing of the
treaty would have afforded subject
for 4 great historical painting. The
rronp gathered about the table In the
Stately chamber Of the foreign office,
was impressive in itself, while the fact
that the sense of the momentousness
of fine issues which the act decided was
deeply felt by all the participants,
povp an impressive and solemn tone to
tbe scene. Around the great mahog-

nifed the brilliant green and scarlet of
the upholstering in their gaudiness.
There was theatrical contrast between
the clothed actors and the scenery. To
the Americans 1t was a happy ending
of the epilOgue of war; fer the Span
iards 1t was plainly a bitter tragedy,
none the less painful because long fore
SEEN They sat silently as though all
most crushed, and none could with

were symbOlized by the clothes worn
by the members of the commission,

This finished, two copies were

Reading of the Message Followed
With Close Attention.
Washington, Dec. 6. = The opening
session Of congress yesterday was
spectacular occasion, animated and
brilliant. There were more than the
usual number Of distinguished per-
sonages in the thronged galleries, in
Guiding many representatives OF for.
eign governments, high officials and
ladies and gentlemen conspicuous in
social and political life. The greetings
of the members were most cordial and
there was no outcropping of partisan
rancor to mar the occasion. One OF the
most striking incidents was the cor
dial meeting between the floor leaders
Of the respective sides, Nessrs Ding
ley and Bailey. In view of the gossip
about the possibility of Mr.. Bailey be-
ing deposed as the minority leader IL
is significant that the speaker named
Mr.. Bailey as the minority member OF
the committee to wait upon the DreSl-
dent, an honor always bestowed upon
the recognized leader OF the minority
Speaker Reed received a warm wei
come from both sides OF che mouse
when he assembled the rostrum TO can
the house to order, but perhaps the
greatest personal ovation to any mem
Der was that given Maj. Gen. Wheeler
Of Alabama, who has not been seen by
many of his old colleagues since he
went to the front at the head Of the
cavalry division of Gen. Skaters
amy. Mr.. W. A. Stone of Pennsyi
yania. Mr.. McNfillin Of Tennessee and
Mr.. Sayers of Texas, who have been
elected governors of their respective
states since congress adjourned. were
also overwhelmed with congratula-
tions. The floral tributes were unusu-
ally numerous and made the hall
yeritable bower Of beautiful mowers.
The proceedings themselves were dull,
all interest centering in the reading Oh
the presidents message. For over two
hours the clerk droned through the
long document, but the interest of the
members and the spectators never
tagged. With rapt attention they fol-
lowed the presidents recital Of the
war. and listened eagerly to every sug-
eestion or recommendation he had to
offer. No expression Of approval or
disapproval interrupted the reading.

Washington. Dec THE first note
of the anti-expansioniSts was sounded
in the senate by Senator Vest of MS
souri. who introduced the following
resolution:
.Trhat under the constitution of the
United States no power is given to the
federal government to acquire territory
10 he held and governed permanently
ne colonies. The colonial system OF
E,1ropean nations cannot be estaD-
isbed under our present constitution;
but all territory acquired by the gov
crnment, except such small amount as
may be necessary for coa1inS stations,
correction of boundaries and Similar
governmental purposes must be ac-
6uired and governed with the purpose
of ultimately organizing such terri
tories into states suitable for admis-
sion into the Union.
hricf discussion of the navigation
laws was Drecipitated by the consld-
Grafton of a bill amending those laws
nv tba addition of a provision that for
zion built vessels wrecked in the
United States, purchased by citizens of
tbis country and repaired to the extent
of three-fourths OF their value shall be
subject to forfeiture If they engage
subsequently in the coastwise trade OF
The United States. Mr.. Vest, mem
her Of the committee on commerce ex-
messed his opposition to the bill,
PRINCIPALLY because it afforded protec-
tion 70 the coastwise trade which need
cd no protection. Mr.. Caffery OF
Louisiana. who is a member of the com
mittea on commerce, opposed the bill.
Finally it was made a special order
for next Monday. At 1:30 the senate
adjourned

The house was in session less thah
half an hour yesterday When the
deaths of Representatives NortlWay

Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1898-06-15

EX-SENATOR PETER was last week
nominated for governor of Kansas by
the prohibition party, at Emporia.
The INDEX has always admired Sena-
tor PETER; he enjoys the distinction of
having been the most serviceable and
the ablest senator the state of Kansas
ever sent to the US. congress; his voice
has always been raised in behalf Of the
weak, the oppressed, and the persecut-
ed; his pen has been potent factor in
bringing light to many dull and de-
generated mind; he has been a man of
the people and for the people in every
field in which he has labored. But, af-
ter all this is said, Mr.. PETER, like 9TH
ers as pure in thought and as independ-
ent in action, has, in our judgment,
been indiscreet in accepting this nomi-
nation, if, indeed, it is true that he has
accepted it.. We say that he has been
indiscreet for the reason that we see
below the surface coarse republican
job: and to substantiate what we say
we need only mention the fact that the
prohibitiOnlsts did not nominate candi-
dates for attorney general and associate
justice OF the supreme court but left
the impression that, the republican can
didates for these important positions
would be endorsed. In this the prohi-
bition party once more brands itself a
hypOcrite. If this party is only a sort
of republican aid society it ought to
be honest and come out from under
cover and say so. If its leaders think
that by serving Itself it serves God, and
by serving the republican party it
serves Mammon, they are entitled to
their opinion, but we surmise that they
Will wake up next November and find
that this so-called prohibition party
has lost the respect of both saint and
sinner. We profoundly regret that SO
good man as Senator PETER has per-
mltted himself to be used as a cats.
paw to rake republican chestnuts out
OF the fire.
