at $50 p. M. after having been in ses-

recess at 1880 p. M, since 10 o'clock in

to consideration of diplomatic questions

efforts to ascertain whether it was in
the nature of reply to Germany or

ers outlining the policy of the United

addressed. It is supposed, however,
its contents will reach the public in a
