stated that he thought 1t was fair
compromise. He pointed out that 1t
was the democrats who were MAX
ing the offer of compromise, where
as the republicans had made no ef-
forts towards ironing out legislative
organization difficulties. at all.
He complained that republicans
are adopting an attitude of letting
the democratic members of the
house take what they have, which Is
nothing. He also pointed out that
only four states In the U. s. A. have
joint rules and committees in their
legislative bodies. He also referred
to the fact that in 1918 when Gov
ernor Simeon E. Baldwin was in
Office the senate was controlled by
democrats and the house by repub-
licans and separate rules and COM
mitteeS were necessary.
Lawlor Points Out Facts
Senator Joseph H. Lawlor of Wa
terbury, president pro tenn, this noon
issued a statement as q member OF
the legislative committee which was
named last week to affect a COM
promise form Of organization in
which he pointed out how demo-
Gratis actually in the minority, so
far as numbers are concerned, in the
house, really represent the majority
Of Connecticut voters.
He said that there are 100 demo-
Gratis In the house representing l.
10000 people, while 1877 republicans
only represent 100000. Every $4,000
democrats in the state thus have
only one representative, while every
5000 republicans have represen-
tativc.
AS further evidence of need of
greater representation for demo-
Gratis he said that thirty-two Of the
largest towns OF the state, repre-
sented by democratic legislators,
paid over $2l 100000 In taxes in
1885 while 1877 towns, represented
by republicans, paid only 100000
Thus three-fourtns OF the 1885 taxes
were contributed by democratic
towns.
Senate Delayed
Owing to the controversy over the
organization Of the house the SEN
ate had not convened at an early
hour this afternoon. 1t awaited the
outcome Of the roll-call vote on the
Thoms amendment to the Swayne
motion on adoption Of 1885 rules.
The senate expected to defeat the
house motion when presented and to
proceed to adopt its own rules.
This would mean separate hear
ings for the democratic and repub-
lican committees with consequently
slower action on the passage Of bills
through committee channels.

| including the Civilian Conservation
corps. At the present time, as re-
suit OF an exhaustive review Of the
needs of the families of workers on
the works program, we have found
that 1t will be necessary, during the
winter months, to provide employ
ment for at least 2,580,000 workers,
of which number $4,000 will receive
employment from funds appropri-
ated in the emergency relief appro-
pratt act of 1885. This repre-
sents a net reduction Of more than
100000 since last March. Further
reductions will be made in the
spring and summer, at the time OF
seasonal increases in private en-
ployment. ~
Unforeseen Factor
An unforeseen factor IN federal
expenditures for the relief of desti-
ution has been the drought, which
laid waste large areas Of the coun-
try, and brought disaster to hum
dreds Of thousands Of farm families.
uring lagt summer and fall, an efner-
gency program was developed to
provide employment for the most
destitute of the stricken families.
With the advent Of winter, about
250, 200, 900 of these families are be-
ing transferred from work projects
to the resettlement adrninistra ton,
which will provide them with direct
grants for subsistence through the
winter, and make other provisions
to get them started on an independ-
ent basis when the planting season
arrives.
Balance Not Sufficient
Since the balance of the present
appropriation of $l,42,000 for relief
ond work relief will be barely suffi-
Client to finance this program
through the month Of January, I
recommend that the congress pro-
vide for a supplemental appropria-
ton of $3.50, 000, 900 for this purpose
for the remainder OF the fiscal year
1897.
We have promised that the men,
women and children Of America who
are destitute through no fault of
their own shall not be neglected. Be-
fore the end of this fiscal year I
shall make specific recommendations
to the congress, defining in detail
my views relative to the continuing
problem Of unemployment relief and
its administration in 1888.
Respectfully,
FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT.

nation to do so. Vienot then out-

Reply Of France @
It was said In reliable quarters
that France had delivered a prelim-
mary reply to the British volun-
teer note simultaneously with its
delivedy yesterday. ~
The French reply was understood
to say: Cd that Premier Leon Blum
was ready to introduce In parlia-
ment Thursday or Friday a bill to
forbid Frenchmen to go to Spain to
volunteer; (2) STIMULATING that II
other nations delayed action or vio-
lated any agreement France would
recover liberty of action; 60 sug-
costing that powers which forbade
dispatch of volunteers should con-
suit among themselves concerning
measure by which to enforce their
agreement. t..,.
The third item was interpreted as
hint that II Germany and Italy
failed to meet French conditions,
France would desire to see other
countries institute control syS-
tenn without the countries consider
ed guilty Of delaying an agree
ment.
Asks Report On Germany
Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden
instructed G. e. A.. G. Monck-Mason,
British consul general at Tetuan,
Spanish Morocco, to send full re-
port regarding reported activities Of
foreigners" In the Spanish Moroc-
can zone.
It was understood that Monck-
Masons instructions are to pay
particular attention TO reports Of
the presence Of German engineers
in Morocco and to find out whether
they are, as alleged, really military
experts.
Though the government has pro-
visionally rejected a French pro-
posal for a French British naval
demonstration Off Spanish Morocco,
In warning to nationalist Spain and
Germany alike, 1t was noteworthy
that four British admirals were now
at Gibraltar, while the home fleet
is soon to 60 to the Mediterranean
to Join the Mediterranean fleet.
The admirals are Admiral Sir Al
fred Pound, commander in-chief Of

Griff Escapes

today. But the incident almost
