WASHINGTON. Dec. 1.-The two
houses met at noon yesterday and opened
the second and last session Of the Fifty
sixth congress of the United States. The
weather was propitious, and the usual
c"owds fockcd to the capitol to witness
the event.
1t had been the purpose of the senate
TO announce the deaths of Senators Gear
of Iowa ana Davis of Minnesota imme-
diatcly after assembling and then to adj
jOuin and to receive the message of the
president today, but us this had been
announced by the leaders of both branch
es of congress to be II quiet business
session" it was determined to receive
the message and thus gain one day in n
session when that much time may be of
immense importance.
Aside from the reading of the message
and the administration OF the oath of Of
fee to William Il. Dillingham;, the new
senator from Vermont, who succeeds the
late Justin :. Morrill,. no business was
transacted.
The opening of the session in the house
was brilliant. but not exciting There
were the usual throngs in the galleries
and the usual display Of floral pieces on
ly formal. consisting of the rapping to
order by the speaker, prayer 10y the chap
lain. the roll call of members The APP
pointment of the formal committees to
notify the president and the senate that
the house was ready to do business and
the reception and reading of the prcsi-
dents message. Despite the fact that a
great presidential campaign had con-
cludod within Il month the best of feel
ing seemed to prevail between victors
and vanquishcd. The reading of the
message which naturally was the fca-
ture of the day, occupied over two hours.
1t was listened to with respectful inter
est by both sides
The deaths of the late Representatives
DAILY of New jersey and lIolIecllcr of
Delaware and Senators Davis of Mime
sofa and Gear of Iowa were announced.
and as Il further mark of respect to their
memories the house adjourned until to-
day.
The Republican senatorial committee
on order of business decided that the sh p
subsidy bill should di>placc the Spponcr
Philippine bill as the unfinished business.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.


WASIIINGTON. Dee. 1.-The prcs-
dents message delivered to congress is
an able and exhaustive document of some
$4,000 words. We give below the main
features:
AT the outgoing Of the old and the in
coming of the now century You begin the
last session Of TIL Iifty-SiXth congress
with evidences on every hand of indvidu
al and national pros porty and with proof
of the growing strength ana increasing
power for good of republican institutions.
Your countIymcn viii join with you in
fclicitation that American liberty is more
firmly established than ever before and
that love for it and the determination to
preserve it are more universal than at
any former period Of our history.
I'm our foreign intercourse the dom
nant question has been the treatment of
the Chinese problem Apart from this our
relations with the powers have been hap
py.'
The president then rehcarses the origin
and growth of the recent disturbances in
China, the fighting mt Taku. the siege and
relief of the legations at Picking and the
occupation of Ticn-tsin and outlines the
policy of the United States as follows:
OUR POLICY IN CHINA.
Inc policy OF the United States
through all this trying period was clearly
announced and scrupulously carried out.
y circular note to the powers dated July
3 proclaimed our attitude. Treating the
condition in the north as one of virtual
anarchy. in which the great provinces of
the south and southeast had no share,
we regarded the local authorities in the
latter quarters as representing the Chi
nese people with whom we sought to re-
main in peace and friendship. Our de
clarcd aims involved no war against the
Chinese nation We adhered to the legit-
innate office of rescuing the impcrilcd le
CATION, obtaining redress for wrongs al
ready suffered, securing wherever posi-
Bile the safety of American life and prop
erty in China and preventing spread of
the disorders or their recurrence.
AS was then said, 'rhc policy of the
government of the United States is to
seek a solution which may bring abOu
permanent safety and peace to China,
preserve Chinese territorial and admins
trative entity, protect all rights guaran-
teed to friendly powers by treaty and in
ternational law and safeguard for the
world the principle of equal and Impair
tial trade with all parts of the Chinese
empire

That is what is required by every organ
OF the body, for the proper performance of
Its functions.
1t perfects all the vital processes.
1t prevents biliOusness, dyspepsia, consti-

tarrh, nervousness, weakness, faintness, pim-
pies blotches, and all cutaneous eruptions.
1t is assured by taking Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla which acts directly and peculiarly on
the blood.
This statement is proved by thousands
of unsolicited testimonials.
W. p. KEEToY, Woodstock, Ala, writes:
"When l began taking Hoods Sarsaparilla
my blood was impure and had not been
feeling well for some time. was bothered
very much with that tired feeling. When
/ had taken the medicine a few days be-
gan to feel better, and after taking two
bottles I felt like another person. That
tired feeling was gone and could do my
work."

A DEFENSE FUND.
Considerable Talk Of Establishing
One and Making 1t Permanent.

Following out the idea expressed by Pres
ident Mitchell in his annual address, Chris
TOPPER Evans. of Ohio, national organizer
for the United Mine Workers Of America,
will introduce a resolution providing for the
establishment of a permanent defense
fund" This has been talked Of for some
years among the miners, but no national
convention has ever had the temerity to
adopt the plan. Many fear the necessary
per capita tax would cause some miners
to drop out of the union. Mr.. Evans, how
ever. will maintain that the power which
a large fund of this kind would give the
organization will enable the miners to de-
mand such wages that the burden of the
tax would not be felt. There is a single
district which has demonstrated the past
year the advantage of the plan. The Illi-
nois district has such fund. It at pres
ent contains $50, 600, and has been drawn
upon freely on account of the Virden and
other strikes. The resolution TO be intro
duced in the national convention has not
been drawn, but II will be so drawn that,
If adopted, a large fund win grow up
within few months. After that the per
capita tax for its support will be reduced
TO the lowest possible point-just enough
TO pay current demands on the fund The
Der 80 cents a mouth for six months. This
would raise fund Of about 500, 900. which
would be large enough for the permanent
fund. After the six months the assessment
could be reduced 10 10 cents a month or
possibly 81 a year.

PENSION VOUCHERS
Must Bear the Date of Feb. This
Year.

This year Feb. 4. when the pay
ment OF pensions shall begin. falls upon
Sunday. No paper executed on Sunday is
legal and this fact will be recognized by
the Pension Bureau. Consequently. no
voucher executed with the date OF Feb.
will be accepted. but will be sent back.
Pensioners should bear this In mind and
not execute their vouchers until Monday.
Feb. s.
The Pension Bureau is very particular
about these matters. For instance, IL a
pension voucher bearing the date OF Nov.
4 should bear a postmark of Nov. 3. such
voucher would be sent to the Pension Blu
reau at Washington by the rule OF the In
terror Department. This is to make certain
that no voucher is executed before the day
provided by law and printed on the face
of the voucher. Vouchers dated the Attn
OF given month. but mailed the Sd are
fraudulent and are so treated by the PEN
sion Bureau.
For the February payment. the voucher
must not be executed until Monday, the
9Th. This timely notice should prevent any
mistake regarding the matter.

FORECAST OF RESOLUTIONS.
The Committee Is at Work ON Them
The Scale Committee


The various standing committees ap-
pointed at yesterday mornings session held
meetings during the afternoon or evening.
Most OF them merely organized. Some of
the minor committees will be ready to re-
port to-day, but the committee on resollr-
tons will not be ready for several days It
was in session until late hour last evening
and tried to bring order out OF chaos by
arranging and classifying the large number
Of resolutions that had been handed in by
delegates. Among the important points
that will be covered by the resolutions as
they will be finally presented to the conven-
ton are the following:
Opposition to federal interference.
Opposition to the use of militia against
organized labor.
Uniform eight-hour rule.
Saturday half holiday.
Opposition TO Sunday work
More perfect affiliation with other trades
unions.
Restriction of the output of coal
1t Is too early to predict with any de-
gree or certainty what the scale committee
will do. A member of the committee, how
ever, Is responsible for the statement that
the enforcement of the "mine-run" system
will be urged; that an advance OF about 20
cents a ton for mining will be asked, and
that fixed differential will be demanded
Opinions vary as to what this differential
should be, but the purpose will be to fix it at
figure that will place machine and hand
miners on an equality. If an error is made
on either side the committee hopes it will
be in favor OF the machine men, for I'm that
case there will not be the incentive for
operators to introduce machines. Under
the present scale of wages, with a sliding
differential, the hand miners are better paid
than machine miners, and this has led to
the introduction of machines in many
mines.

MARTIN Is REELECTED.
1t Is Understood He Has Agreed to
Make Joseph Kelley Secretary.

1t Is Understood He Has Agreed to
Make Joseph Kelley Secretary.
AS was expected. terms of peace were
agreed to between Mayor Taggart and his
followers and Parks M. Martin and his fol-
lowers, and yesterday morning, within a
few minutes after the meeting of the DEM
ocratic State committee was called
to order, the latter was elected
elected chairman by reclamation and CIV
en- power to name his own secretary. This
latter feature was a big surprise, as II
was felt that number of the committee
men had little confidence in Mr.. Martin S
ability to select good man. An explana-
ton of the action was made when it was
announced by one of Mayor Taggart s
friends that before the votes of the 'antis'
were cast for Martin he had agreed to
name a Marion county man for his secre-
tary. 1t was also said that Joseph Kelley,
of this city, would be the man.
AS late as this morning it was admitted
that six votes was the extent of Martins
influence, but that there was no disposition
to unite on another man, and after few
pledges between the factions, the votes
were given to Martin.
Mayor Taggart was reelected treasurer
and the State committee gave Mr.. Martin
power to appoint all committees. With
regard to the secretaryship it is stated
authoritatively that A. II. Wampler will
not accept the place again, even If he were
to be chosen, and, as result, the scramble
for the place is hotter than ever.
The result of the election is taken TO
mean that the Silver Democrats are on top
again and will send a silver delegation to
the national convention solidly for Bryan
and free silver with antitrust and anti-im-
perialism planks added to the old Chicago
platform. II was said yesterday that there
was a strong probability that Samuel Raj
ston, of Lebanon, would be made member
Of the national committee from Indiana to
represent the silver men.
Among those familiar with the Democrat
ic situation in Indiana, the election of Mar
tin as State chairman is taken to mean
that Mayor Taggart made. his fight in the
committee to feel his strength as a guber-
Material candidate on the platform of those
who have been trying for some time to
turn the Democratic party in Indiana from
it's former close utilization with the free
slveriteS.
That the fight demonstrated the weakness
of the geld Democrats is taken to mean
that Taggart will not be candidate for
the governorship.

NOT A CANDIDATE.
AIOnzo Green Smith Has No Congress
sional Aspirations.

Alonzo Green Smith, who was at the
committee meeting yesterday. took occa-
sion to state that he was not candidate
for the congressional nomination from this
district. although he admitted having been
asked to run. Even IL Democrat had a
chance to win this time could not afford
TO make the race said he. Il have no
ambition to serve in Congress and never
have had any. In fact 1 may say the DEM
ocrats of Indiana have been very good to
me in the past and have had all the Of
fees care for. / will work for the party
the same as ever. but cannot allow my
self TO be led into any race for office.
Leon Bailey lost 5000 through his race two
years ago. / am not sure that 1 am even
fitted for Congress, and In any event
will not run and that is conclusive"
