THE CITIZEN 1 . WILLIAM C. NF.GLEY -- Publisher THURSDAY, DECEMBER 7. i*99- MEETING OF CONGRESS. The fifty-sixth Congress of the United States met at Washington D. C , Mon day noon. In the House 33# members answered when their names were cilled—2l were absent Representative Henderson, R*p of lowa, was elected Speaker over Rep. Richardson. Dem , of Tennessee, by a rote of 177 to 153. Popnlist Bell re ceived 4 votes and Silver Rep. Newlands 2 votes. The Republicans bave a ma jority in the House of 14 over all. When the members presented them selves at the Bar of the Honse to take oath of office Mr. Taylor, of Ohio, and Mr. Mcßae, of Arkansas, objected to Mr. Roberts, of Utah, being sworn in, and the Speaker directed Mr. Rob ert? to stand aside, and the case was re ferred to a special committee for con sideration next day. The formal memorial and protest against the admission of Roberts was circulated in printed form and placed on the desks of members during the day. The main points are that Roberts is not a citizen since, "at all times after 1883 he was and now is a bigamist and polygamist," contrary to the law that he has been prosecuted and punished for "unlawful cohabitation with more than one woman;" that he was born of British parents within the British realm and has never renounced his allegiance to Qneen Victoria. After reciting the legal and moral objections to Roberts, the petition aaks that he be not allowed to take the oath of office or to have a seat in the House; that a special com mittee investigate the subject and that Roberts seat be declared vacant. The document is signed by Josiah Strong, New York, president of Leagne of Social Service, and many others. The monster petition, said to consist of 7,000,000 names, consisted of 28 rolls of names, each about two feet in di ameter, encased in the American flag. These rolls were stacked up in the area in front of the clerk's desk, and were viewed with great curiosity. The Democratic members have framed an amendment to the Taylor resolution providing for an investigation of the moral character of every appointee of the present Federal administration in Utah. It is said that a number of these appointees rest under the same charges an Roberts. For hours before noon, the hour for the Honse to meet, people streamed through the corridors to the galleries, which looked down upon the arena where the statesmen were congregating. By 11 o'clock a brilliant gathering had assembled. The galleries were black with people, and through the swinging doors oonld be seen pushing hundreds | who were unable to gain admission. Entrance was obtained only by card, for which there was an enormous de mand. The women's and members' galleries were filled with brilliantly gowned women, the wives of members and their friends. The executive gal lery was filled with high dignitaries of the Government, and the diplomatic gallery was resplendent with the repre sentatives of foreign governments. Alex McDowell was re elected Clerk of the House, and the old rules were drawing oi seats me r.epuon can leaders were singularly unlucky. Representatives Dalzell, Grosvenor and Payne barely escaped being compelled to leaye the solid Republican left and take seats in the "Cherokee strip' on the Democratic right, while Represent atiye Hepbnrn had to take a seat there or stand. Two members of the Penn sylvania delegation—ex-Speaker Grow and Representative Hariner were by unanimous consent permitted to select their seats in advance of this drawing. Representatives Graham, Jack, Ache son, Showalter and Thropp secured eligible seats in the center of the Re publican side, while Representatives Sibley, Gaston and Hall were equally fortunate on the Democratic side. When the Honse settled to business Representative Dovener of Wheeling introduced a bill appropriating $1,000,- 000 for a new custom house and public bnilding at Wheeling. Capt. Dovener says he will make a determined fight for the passage of this bill Mr. Showalter reintroduced his bill of the last congress to reimburse to Joseph B. Orbison of Butler the #3OO that he gave during the clyil war to escape the draft. Ashe was an ex slave and not a citizen he could not have been drafted. Representative Sibley will introduce a bill authorizing the secretary of war to give dne recognition to the officers and men of the Pennsylvania militia who were (tailed into service by (iov. Curtin in to repel the confederate!*. They served faithfnlly and even went outside the state, bnt were never mus tered into the service of the United States. The bill carries no right to pension bounty or pay from the govern inent. The Senate. The Henate wan called to order at noon Monday, by Senator Frye, Pres ident pro. tetn. hy yirtue of hid election an such last winter. The roll call show ed 87 present, and the Republicans have a majority of 14. When the credentials of new mem bers were called for Mr. Penrose, Re publican, Pennsylvania, presented the credentials of Matthew Stanley appointed Senator from Pennsylvania by the Governor. On motion of Mr. Coekrell, Democrat. Missouri, the ere dentials of Mr. ynay were referred to the Committee on Privileges and lilec tions. Mr. Chandler, Republican, New Hampshire, offered a 'resolution that Senator Quay be admitted. This resoln tion also went to the Committer on Privileges and Elections. Remon strances and memorials against tin seating of Mr. Cjuay were presented by- Mr. Burrows, Republicim, Michigan, and Mr. Jones, Democrat, Arkansas The Democratic protest had 7H and the Republican protest 57 signers, h total of 135, being a majority of the membership of the Legislature. On the two last ballots at Harrisbnrg last spring the vote was as follows: 9!!, Jenks. 85, B. F. Jones. *ii» The total opfsisition vote was 154. Objections were also made to seating Clark of Montana, who is acensed of bribery. His credentials are said to have cost him half a million dollars. Several new Senators were sworn in and then the death of Vice President Hobart was announced and the Senate adjourned until next day. On Tuesday the President's lonic mrs ■age was read in l>oth houses It took ths clerks nearly three hours to read it. and it tills eighteen columns of lb. or dinary daily newspaper Its more im portant recommendations are That (Congress pass the legislation necessary to support the existing gold standard as he recommended a year ago and as he proposed in the cuirency bill now pending. That the merchant marine be built up through the means used by other na tions—namly. subsidies. That the Sherman anti-trust law be extended so as to more certainly check trusts, and that without delay. That there be no delay with regard to action of legislation that will result in the construction of the Xicaraguan Ca - I nal. j That a commission be appointed to consider the opportunities for and the obstacles against the enlargement of the markets for our products in China. That a law be enacted giving the Fed eral conrts jurisdiction to try the lynch ers when a citizen or subject of a for- , eign State is murdered by a mob That attention be given to the subject of a cable to Manila. That early action be taken to give an ; thority for buying armor plate for nav l al vessels already under contract and for those authorized by the removal of the S3OO per ton limit. That a soldier s widow be not debar red from pension unless her income ex ceed $250 per annum. The limit is now $96. That better government be provided for Hawaii, Puerto Rico and Alaska as qnickly as possible, and that Puerto Rican goods be admitted to this coun try free of duty. No recommendations are made with regard to the Philippines or Cuba. The President deems it inadvisable to make any recommendations for the Phil ippines while the insurrection is in pro gress. He says the policy of suparess ing the rebellion will be pursued un flinchingly nntil the Tagalos realize fhat they have been misled Th -n he will communicate his ideas. The history leading up to the Philip ' pine insurrection is recited at length to answer the Atkinson charge that the hostilities resulted from breach of faith on onr part. The President announces that he does not recommend that municipal govern ment of Cuban citie-i by Cubans be in augurate'! as soon after Aprirl 11 n~xt as possible. On that day the Spaniard-i in the island mast choose their alleg iance, whether they will remain Span iards or Cubans. When they have made choice it will be possible to say who shall and who shall not vote. The recommendation for Puerto Rico is for a Governor General, appointed by the President, and a legislature compos ed of Puerto Ricaus and Americans, which is the form of the first govern men t provided for the territory of Or leans, or, as it became more generally known. Louisana. By association with the Americans the Puerto Ricans art expected to learn the ways of Americans in government affairs. After the reading of the message the the Roberts matter was again taken np, and after a lively debate was ref erred to a special committee of nine by a vote of 802 to 30. The President's message was general ly commended by Republican Repre sentatives, several of whom were quot ed in yesterday's dailies, and among them Rep. Showalter, as follows: "The House will undoubtedly concur in the recommendations set forth "n tin- President's message submitted to us. It is a very able state paper, and shows the country to be in a very prosperous condition. The views expressed in it regarding onr colonial possessions are all that could be asked by Congress,and way to setTTeThe qf,e"n?i*<7i'A now 'in it"' pute. The President is to be congratu lated upon such a complete statement of onr foreign relations." Daring the day 801 bills and 30 re-o lntions were introduced in the House, and also a constitutional amendment prohibiting polygamy the latter by Dr. Showalter. In the Senate, Senator Penrose was quoted as saying that Quay's ca?' wonld come np in a day or two, while Senator Jones of Arkansas ways it will be at least 10 days "before anything is done. Ono of the most prominent Re publican Senators said that Quay tvas putting his personal friends in the Sen ate in a very unfortunate position by asking them to snpi>ort him against all precedent, many of them, in order to show their personal regard for him.hav ing to reverse themselves and vote con trary to their action on similar questions in the past. He further said that he could not see how Senator Penrose,after voting against the seating of Mr. Cor bett of Oregon, a case in which Quay himself paired against Mr. Corbett, could consistently ask Senators to now vote to seat Quay. It is said that some Senators, Ijoth Republicans and Democrats, who favor the seating of Qnay, are begining to tear that shonld he l»e admitted in the face of the conditions attending his defeat before the Legislature it will arouse popular indignation and lead to a renewed demand for the election of Senators by a popular vote. This in a method of election which few Senators favor, ard they do not care to strength en the jsipnlar feeling in its support. There will be a determined fight on the question when it comes to the Sen ate. The opponents to the seating of the Senators appointed where Legisla tures have failed to elect say that they will filibuster to the end. him self effectually showed how the Senate could be tied up by his celebrated speech on the Wilson tariff bill, and could hardly complain if the same meth od was used against him.
