ROBERTS GETS A SEAT.
Bat He Was Not Allowed to Take
the Oath of Office.
0A8E EEFE2EED TO COMMITTEE.
Mr. MeRae, itn Arkanaaa Democrat,
Joined With Mr. Taylor In Object
ing to the Administering- nf the
Oath to the I tnh Representative.
Washington, Dec. 5. Enormous
crowds witnessed the opening scenes
In the bouse yesterday. The objection
to the administration of the oath to
Mr. Roberts was entered by Mr. Tay
lor, of Ohio, as predicted, and he step
ped aside without protest, except to
ask if by doing so he wuived any of his
rights. To this the speaker respondpu
in the negative. There was not a pro
test from any quarter against the ob
jection to the administration of the
oath to Mr. Roberts. But on the con
trary the only voice raised except that
of Mr. Taylor's was that of Mr. lie
Rae, a Democrat, of Arkansas, who
Joined with Mr. Taylor in his protest.
Mr. Taylor offered his resolution to
refer the case to a special committee,
but by mutual arrangement the con
sideration of the resolution was post
poned until today, In order that the
routine business in connection with
the organization might be transacted.
Although Mr. Roberts was not sworn
In, he secured a seat. This, however,
was by an accident, pure and simple.
In the seat drawing lottery no pro
vision had been made for Mr. Roberts,
but when the drawing was completed
two others as well as himself had not
been provided with seats, and the
speaker asked and secured from the
house general permission for those
members who had not drawn seats to
make such selections as they could.
Under this authority Mr. Roberts got
a seat In an obscure portion of tin'
hall. Mr. Roberts was the observed
of all observers throughout the day.
His daughter sat In the gallery and
watched the proceedings from begin
ning to end.
The election of Speaker Henderson
and his Induction into office, the ap
pointment of the usual committees to
wait upon the president and the seat
drawing contest, with the usual amus
ing features, went off without a hitch.
The only other feature out of the or
dinary was the adoption of the Reed
rules for the present congress.
Appropriate tribute to the memory
of the late Vice President Hobart was
paid by the senate at Its first session
of the Fifty-sixth congress. The ses
sion lasted only 33 minutes and only
the most formal and necessary busi
ness was transacted, After the adop
tion of the usual routine resolutions
and the administration to the new
members of the oath of office, Sena
tor Sewell, of New Jersey, presented
resolutions upon the death of the vice
president The resolutions were or
dered to be communicated to the house
of representatives, and the session, on
motion of Mr. Kean, of New Jersey,
was suspended. Senator Quay, of
Pennsylvania, appointed by Governor
1 Stone, was not present to be sworn In,
and those who expected a protest were
disappointed.
POSTMASTER GENERAL SMITH
Point Oat the War For SbtIbk
Twenty Million. Annually.
Washington, Dec. 4. The annual re
port of Postmaster General Charles
Emory Smith was made public last
night. Its chief feature is a plea for
congressional action to stop the abuse
of second class mail privileges, which
he says results In an annual waste of
upwards of $20,000,000. The financial
exhibit for the fiscal year shows total
expenditures of $101,632,161 and total
receipts of $95,021,384, the deficiency
being $2,422,747 less than last year.
C The postmaster general says in part:
There are many Improvements and
advances waiting development and ap
plication; opportunities for speedier
transmission and delivery; fields for
broadening the scope of the mall ser
vice and bringing closer home to the
people possibilities of reduced postage,
but above and beneath and beyond all
is the redemption of the special con
cession which congress granted for a
distinct and Justifiable object from the
fungus growths and the flagrant evils
that have fastened upon it.
"The postal deficit for the current
year is $6,610,776. But for this wrong
ful application of the second class
rate Instead of a deficit there would
be a clear surplus of many millions.
H Is not now proposed to restrict the
privileges of legitimate publications
or to modify the design of the law,
but only to bring back its application
to Us original and Just scope. It Is
believed that fully one-half of all the
matter mailed as second class, and paid
for at the pound rate, is not properly
second class within the Intent of the
law.
"If there Is to be a favored class, let
it embrace all the people. With this
class paying properly even penny post
age, with reasonable limitations, could
be applied to letters without entailing
a deficit larger than that of the last
few years, and possibly with none at
all."

To th Senate and House of Representative-:
The Fifty-sixth consroim convenes In Its
first recnlnr session with the country In
a conlltion of unusual prosperity, of unl
Venal rood will among the people at
home, and In relations of peace and
friendship with every government of the
world. Our foreign Commerce has shown
igre:it Increase in volume and value. The
combined Imports und exports for the
year are the largest ever shown by a
' sliik'le year In all our history.
Government receipts from all sources
for the flCl year ended June 30. In-
cludlns jii.V9s.3i4 11. part payment of the
I Central Pacific railroad Indebteuness, ag
gregated MtO,Wa,004.3S. Customs receipts
were JCnO.128.tM. 78, and those from In
ternal revenue $273. 4.17,161. SI.
For the fiscal year the expenditures
I were i7ito.09a.Mt.o2, leaving a deficit of m,
iu.tn.ff,
The present gratifying strencth of the
treasury shown by the fact thnt on Pec.
l. ISM, the available cash balance was
I27S.UW.S37.72. of which ttaS,744,M6.M was In
Kold coin und bullion. The conditions
j of confidence which prevail throughout
, the country have brought Bold Into more
general use and customs receipts are now
almost entirely paid In that coin.
The strong position of the treasury
with respect to cash on hand and the f;i
i vorable showing made ly the revenues
I have made It possible for the secretary of
the treasury to take action under the
provisions of section 3,filM. revised stat
i utes. relating to the sinking fund, Ite-
j eelpts exceeded expenditures for the first
i five months of the current fiscal year by
HM13.RS.91, and the, secretary of the
treasury estimates that there will be a
surplus of approximately $4O.0(t0 at the
end of the year. The treasury depart-
' Blent, therefore, offered to purchase dur
ing November 2i..K(,ufp0 of the 5 per cent
! loan of 1904, or the 4 per cent funded loan
j nf 1907 ut the current market price. The
amount offered and purchased during No
vember was 118,108,600. The premium paid
, by the government on such purchases
! was $1,288,521 ami the net saving In In
terest was about 12,885,000. The success
of this operation was sufficient to indue
the government to continue the offer to
, purchase bniuls to and Including the -3d
I day of December, unless the remainder
of the 115,000,000 called for should be pre
sented In the meantime for redemption.
, In Its earlier history the national bank
ing ac t seemed to prove B reasonable ave
nue through which n edful additions tn
' the circulation could from time to time
be made. Changing conditions have ap
parently rendered It now Inoperative to
that end.
The attention of congress Is respectfully
j Invited to this Important matter, with
! the view of ascertaining whether or not
such reasonable modification can be
made in the national banking act as will
render Its service more responsive to the
pople's needs. I again urge that the na
tional banks be authorized to organize
with a capital of 125.0110.
I urgently recommend thnt to support
the existing gold standard and to main
tain "the parity In value of the coins of
the two metals (gold and silver) and the
equal power of every dollar at all times
In the market and In the payment of
debts," the secretary of the treasury be
given additional power and charged with
the duty to sell United States bonds and
to employ such other effective means as
may be necessary to these ends. The
authority should Include the power to
sell bonds on long and short time, as
conditions may require, nnrt should pro
vide for a rate of Interest lower than that
fixed by the act of Jan. 14, 1875.
1 repeat my former recommendations
thnt u portion of the gold holding shall
be placed In a trust fund from which
greenbacks shall be redeemed upon pre
sentation, but when mini redeemed shall
not thereafter be paid out except for
gold.
The value of on American merchant
marine to the extension of our com
mercial trade and the strengthening of
our power upon the sea Invites the Im
mediate action of the congress. Our na
tional development will be one sided and
unsatisfactory so long as the remarkable
growth of our Island Industries remains
unaccompanied by progress on the seas.
Combinations of capital organised Into
trusts to control the conditions of trade
among our citizens, to stltle competition,
limit production and determine the prices
of products used and consumed by the
people nrc Justly provoking public dis
cussion, and should early claim the at
tention of the congress.
It is universally conceded that com
binations which engross or control the
market of any particular kind of mer
chandise or commodity necessary to the
general community by suppressing nnt
ural and ordinary competition, Whereby
prices are unduly enhanced to the gen
eral consumer are obnoxious, not only to
the common law, but ulso to the public
welfare. There must be a remedy for the
evils evolved in such organisations, If
the present law can be extended more
certainly to control or check these mon
opolies or trusts It should be done with
out delay.
A review of our relations with foreign
states is presented with such recommen
dations as are deemed appropriate.
The long pending boundary dispute be
tween the Argentine Republic and Chile
was settled In March last by the award
of an arbitral commission, on which the
United States minlmer ut Huenos Ayres
served as umpire.
Progress has been mnde toward the con
clusion of a convention of extradition
with the Argentine Republic. Having
been advised and consented to by the
United States sennte and ratified by Ar
gentina. It only awaits the adjustment of
some slight changes In the text.
It is gratifying to be utile to announce
that the Belgian government has miti
gated the restrictions on the Importation
of cuttle from the United States.
Having psea Invited by Helglum to par
ticipate In a congress held at Brussels
to revise the provisions of the general act
of July 2, 1K90. for the repression of the
African slave trade, to which the Uni
ted States was u signatory party, this
government preferred not to be repre
sented by a plenipotentiary, but reserved
the right of accession to the result. No
table changes were made, those especially
concerning this country being In the line
of the Increased restriction of the dele
terious trade In snlrltuous llauors with
the native tribes, which this government
has from the outset urgently advocated.
The amended general act will be laid be
fore the senate, with a view to Its advice
and consent.
Then follows references to our relations
With the governments of South and Cen
tral America, the work of the Isthmian
cannl commission under Renr Admiral
Walker Is commended, nnd then the
president discusses our Interests In China,
as follows:
In view of the disturbances In the popu
lous provinces of northern China, where
are many of our citizens, and of the Im
minence of disorder near the capital and
toward the seaboard, a guard of marines
was landed from the Boston and stationed
during last winter In the legation com
pound of Peking. With the restoration
of order this protection was withdrawn.
Adequate protection has been secured for
our missionaries und some Injuries to
their property have been redressed.
American capital hue sought nnd found
various opportunities of competing te
sarry out the Internul Improvement
which the imperial government Is wisely
encouraging, and our trade with China
nnnoi
res con., .ed to crow,
i The extension of the area open to Inter
national foreign settlement ut Shanghai
and the opening of the ports of Nanking,
I Tslng-Tao (Klao Chaol and Ta-Llen-Wun
I to foreign trade und settlement will
doubtless afford any enterprise additional
facilities and new Helds. of which It will
not be (low to take advantage.
I renew the recommendation made to
the speaker of the house of representa
tives by the secretary of the treasury on
the 14th of June, 1VIK. for an appropria
tion for a commission to study the com
Sterctal and Industrial conditions In the
Chinese empire and report as to the op
portunities for, and the obstacles to, the
enlargement of markets In China for the
raw products and manufactures of the
United States.
Referring to our exhibits at the Paris
exposition the president says:
I am Informed by our commissioner
general that we s'nill have In the Ameri
can sections at Paris over 7.0110 exhibitors
from every stute In our country, a num
ber ten times as great ai those which
were represented ut Vienna In 1873, six
times as many as those In Paris In 1S7S,
and four times as many as those who ex
hibited In Paris In 1SS9. This statement
does not Include the exhibits from either
Cuba, l'orto ltlco or Hawaii, for which
arrangements have been made.
Oi.r relations with Germany continue
to be most cordlul. The Increasing In
timacy of direct association has I n
marked during the year by the granting
permission In April for the landing on
our shores of a cable from Itorkum Km
dcm. on the North sea, by way oi the
Azores, and also by the conclusion on
Sept. 2 of a parcels port convention with
the German empire. In all that promises
closer relations of Intercourse and com
merce and a better understanding be
tween two races having so many traits in
common, Germany can be assured of the
most cordial co-operation of this gov
ernment and people.
The several governments of the empire
seems reluctant to admit the natural ex
cellence of our food productions and to
Sccept the evidence we constantly tender
of the care with which their purity Is
guarded by rigid Inspection, Our sys
tem of control over food staples invites
examination from any quarter.
it is to be hoped that In time the two
governments will act In common toward
the realization of their common purpose
to safeguard the public health and to
Insure the purity anil w holesoineness of
all food products Imported by either coun
try from 'e other.
The president declares thai although
our government has maintained an atti
tude of neutrality in the South African
war. It Is asserted that the good offices
of the United States to preserve the peace
would have been frridy given. The work
of our own consul as a guardian of
British interests is commended.
The president deals at length with the
lynching of Italians at Tallubth. I. a., and
urgently recommends action by the pres
ent congress to prevent "these distress
Ing manifestations."
The treaty of commerce and naviga
tion between the United States and Japan
on Nov. 22. 1K94. took effect in accordance
with the terms of Its sixth article on the
17th of July last, simultaneously with the
enforcement of like treaties with the
other powers, except France, whose con
vention did not go Into operation unl II
Aug. 4. the United States being, how
ever, grunted up to that date all the
privileges and rights accorded to French
citizens under the old French treaty. By
this notable convention reform Japan's
position as a fully Independent sovereign
power Is assured.
Without repeating the observations of
my special message of Feb. 10. 1899. con
cerning the necessity of a cable to Man
ila, I respectfully Invite attention to It.
I recommend thnt. In case the congress
should not take measures to bring about
this result by direct action nf the gov
ernment, the postmaster general be au
thorised to Invite competitive bids for the
establishment of a cable.
A chapter on our relations with Mex
ico is followed bjl, reference to the claims
growing out of fhe seizure of American
sealing vessel In Bering sea by Russia
with "the recent happy result of an
agreement to submit them to the decision
of a slngla arbitrator." Then comog ref
erence to Samoa. After referring tn ths
abolition of the kingship and the appoint
ment of the Joint commission and the.
new partition of the Samoan Islands the
president refers to the war claims made
by residents of Samoa, which will bo re
ferred to a neutral arbitrator.
The withdrawal of the authority of
Spain from the Island of Cuba was ef
fected by the first of January, so that the
full re-establishment of peace found the
relinquished territory held by us In trust
for the Inhabitants, maintaining, under
the direction of the executive, such gov
ernment und control therein n should
conserve public order, restore the produc
tive Conditions of peace so long disturbed
and build up that tranquil development
of the domestic state whereby alone can
be realized the high purpose, oa pro
claimed In the Joint resolution adopted by
congress, by which the United States dis
claimed any disposition or Intention to
exerclso sovereignty. Jurisdiction or con
trol over Cuba, except for the paclllcatlon
thereof, and asserted Its determination
when that was accomplished to leave the
government and control of the Island to
Its people. The pledge contained In this
resolution Is of the highest honorable ob
ligation and must be sacredly kept. I be
lieve that substantial progress has been
made in this direction. We must see tu
it that free Cuba be a reality.
Regarding our march In the Philippines
the president says:
Whntever the future of the Philippines
may be there Is no course open to us now
except the prosecution of the war until
the Insurgents are reduced to submission.
The course thus clearly Indicated has
been unflinchingly pursued. The rebel
lion must be put down. Civil government
cannot be thoroughly established until or
der Is restored.
The future government of the Philip
pines rests with the congress of the Unit
ed States. The suggestion has been made
that we could renounce our authority
over the Islands and, glvlrg them Inde
pendence, could retain a protectorate
over them. This proposltljn will not be
found, 1 am sure, worthy nf your serious
attention. Cuch an arrangement would
Involve ut the outset a cruel breach of
faith. It would make us responsible for
the act of the Insurgent leaders and give
us no power to control them.
The president urges speedy action on
the bill creating "the territory of Ha
waii." and calls attention to the necessity
for Immediate legislative relief for Alas
ka. The president ulso recommends ac
tion for the government of Porto Rico,
calling attention to the necessity of es
tablishing federal courts, ports of entry
and delivery, the extension of education,
etc.
After referring to the 100th anniversary
of the death of George Washington, on
the 14th Inst., the message concludes:
Preuented to this congress are great op
portunities. With them come great re
sponsibilities. The power confided to us
Increases the weight of our obligations
to the people, and we must be profound
ly sensible of them as we contemplate the
new and grave problems which confront
us. Aiming only at the public good, we
cannot err. A right interpretation of the
people s will and of duty cannot fall to
insure wise measures for the welfare of
the Islands which have come under the
authority of the United States, and in
sure to the common interest and lasting
honor of our country.
