Among | the notable Senatorial absentees were | Renators Davis, of Minn., Frye, of Me., and Gray, of Delaware, who are detain- ed in Paris by their work as American Peace Commissioners, but who expect, to complete the treaty of Peace and start for home in a very few days, the difficult part having been accomplished when the Spanish Commissioners agreed to our terms, a week ago. No man is better authority on things than Senater Allison, Chairman of the Committee on Appro- priations. Ilis opinions carry weight because of his long experience and the correctness of his judgment in the past. Ie said of the session of Congress that opened today: “In my opinion, the session will be an interesting one. and many of the debates will be of great importance.” Of the prospect of legis- lation he said: “It can be laid down | as a rule that if any measure pro- | posed is antagonized by a determined | i | | 3 | Congressional safe minority, it will be withdrawn. There vill be great pressure in behalf of leg- islation for the Nicaragua Canal, and if any important measure is passed, outside of the appropriation bills, it will be the Canal bill. That subject has been so thoroughly threshed over that it ought not to provoke much de- bate.” Of the Treaty of Peace with Spain he said: “It will be ratified be- yond a doubt, and exactly as it comes to us from the Peace Commission. We cannot afford to stultify ourselves in the face of the world by refusing to ac- cept the work of the Commissioners. They have been very careful and de- serve the endorsement of the country. I shall be in favor of prompt action, because we ought to dispose of the mat- ter and not let it remain in a state of uncertainty. We want to settle as soon as possible our relations to the Philippines, and this we eannot do un- til the treaty is ratified.” ii: Secretary Alger’s annual report is a very interesting document, embracing, as it does, a brief but comprehensive sketch of the conduct of the war, with KooNTZ.

Mention has often been made of ex- President Cleveland’s devotion to field sports. - An eastern journal, referring to his recreations, says: Ile often varies the ordinary round by appearing directly after breakfast in hunting boots and broad-brimmed hat, with a gun Then he will tramp away across the fields and hills, returing at night with perhaps three or four rabbits as the day’s spoil. Mr. Cleveland was always an ardent sportsman, and his propensity in this direction more marked thot he has more leisure to indulge it. The section of New Jersey in which he lives is not particularly fertile in this direction, the only game being a few rabbits, squirrels and partridges, but Mr. Cleveland is not easily discouraged. He has tramped all over the central part of the state; and will walk patient- ly all day long for the sake of a shot or two, stopping and then to chat with some hard-handed old farmer whom he runs across. All the latter gentry for miles around know the ex- president. Though they are inveterate enemies of the city sportsmen who oc- casionally overrun their fields, they are all delighted at a chance to ex- change a few words with their distin- guished neighbor, and are hugely hon- ored if he will consent to pass an opin- ion on their home-brewed applejack or hard cider. Mr. Cleveland has an occasional op- portunity to indulge his fondness for fishing.
