A MESSAGE TO THE SENATE.
The President to-day sent to the Senate
and House the following message in regard
to the vacanoy in the treasury:
The sudden death of Hon. William Windom,
Secretary of the Treasury, in New York on the
eveafing of Jan. 29 has directed my attention to
the present Rtate of the law as to the filling of
the vacancy occasioned by the death of a head
of a department. I transmit herewith an
opinion of the Atttorney General, from which
it will be seen that under the statutes In force
no officer in the treasury department or other
person designated by me can exercise the duties
of the Secretary of the Treasury for a longer
period than ten days. This limitation, I am
ure, is unwise, and necessarily involves in such
a case as that now presented undue has to, and
even indelicacy. The President should not be
required to take up the question of the selection
of a successor before the last offices of affec
tion and respect have been paid to-the dead. If
the proprieties of an occasion as sad as
that which now overshadows us ire
observed possibly one-half of the
brief time allowed is gone before,
with due regard to the decencies of life, the
President and those with whom he should ad
vise can take up the consideration of the grave
duty of selecting a head for oDe of the greatest
departments of the government.
OTHER HAD EFFECTS.
Hasty action by the Senate is also nec
essarily involved, and geographical limitations
are practically imposed by the necessity of sd
leeting soma one who can reach the
capiml and take the necessary oath
of office before the oxplmtion of ten days
It may hea very proper restriction of the power
of the President in his conviction that he shall
not designate for any great length of time a
person to discharge important duties Who has
not been confirmed hy the Senate, but there
would seem to be no reason why one of the as
sistant secretaries of the department, wherein
a vacancy exists, might not discharge the
duties of a secretary until a successor
is selected, confirmed and qualified. The
inconvenience of this limitation was made ap
parem at the time of the death of Secretary
President Arthur in that case aUowed
one of the assistant secretaries, who had been
designated to act in the absence of the secre
tar), to contioue in the discharge of such duties
for a further term of ten days, and then made a
temporary app o j ntm9 n t as secretary in order
the consideration that he needed in
nlling this important place.

Tne ConaularHand Diplomatic Appro-
Discussed.
Washington,,! Jan. BL—ln the House
this morning the- military academy appro
priation bill pasted without further opposi
tion.
Mr. Richardson of Tennessee, from the
committee on printing, reported and the
House adopted a resolution for printing
30,000 copies of the constitution of the
United States for the use of the House.
The House then went into committee of
the whole, with Mr. Payton of Illinois in
the chair, on the diplomatic and consular
appropriation bilij
Mr. McCYeary of Kentucky eulogized the
diplomatic and ofcusular service of this
country, contending that it was the oheapest
and most effective in the world. It waa
pleasiug to him to be able to state that our
country was enjoying such peaceful rela
tions with foreign nations; that our diplo
mats had time to indulge in literary pur
suits, as many of them were doing.
After brief criticism of some of the
details of the bill, Mr. McCYeary in
veighed against the treatment accorded the
committee on foreign affairs by the com
mittee on rules. Never before, in his expe
rience on the committee on foreign affairs,
had that oommittee been refused a day for
the consideration of bills reported by it.
This be attributed in part to reluctance on
the part of the committee on rules to allow
the House to pass upon the reciprocity ques
tion.
THE BARRDNDIA AFFAIR.
Mr. Hooker of Mississippi, referring to
the Barrundia case, said that everybody
must concede to tho present distinguished
Secretary of State the credit of promptly
recalling and dismissing Minister Mizner.
who he thought had not properly repre
sented the rights, honor and dignity of
the American flag. The Secretary of
the Navy had taken the same
action in recalling and reprimanding the
officer who had failed to protect Gen.
Barrundia. He was gladto say this, be
cause he believed that the consular and
diplomatic system should never be a politi
cal system, but that the method of conduct
ing great international questions should
rise above the plane of party, aud attain
the level of patriotism.
RECIPROCITY WITH CANADA.
Touching briefly on the subject of re
ciprocity, he quoted, in terms of com
mendation, the speech delivered last night
before the Boston Merchants’ Association
by Sir Riohard I. Cartwright, the,‘opposition
leader of the Canadian parliament.
After further remarks by Mr. Chip man
of Michigan and Mr. Vandever of Califor
nia, the committee rose.
On motion of Mr. McKinley it was ordered
.that the House shall meet at 3 o’clock Mon
day in order to enable the members to
attend the funeral of the late Secretary
Windom. Public business being suspended
tho House proceeded to pay a tribute to the
memory ot the late Lewis Watson of Peniv
svlvania. After eulogistio addresses by
Messrs. O’Neill of Pennsylvania, Stone of
Pennsylvania, Holman, Boutelle, Herbert,
Payson, Mutchler, Hall, MoAdoo, Lacey,
Brosius, Ray and Maiib, the House, as a
further mark of respect to the memory of
the deceased, adjourned.
BURIAL OP THE FORUB BILL.
All Danger of an Extra Session of
Congress Passed.
Washington, Jan. 3L—Senator Aldrioh
returned to the Senate to-day,and if Senator
Hoar had bean here would probably have
announced this afternoon that no further
attempt would be made to take up either
the cloture rule or the force bill, but Sen
ator Hoar did not appear at the cauitol to
day, and so the announcement will not be
made until Tuesday, for the Senate will
probably not sit on Monday, the senators
generally attending the funeral. Senator
Aldrich satisfied himself v%ry quickly that
nothing more could be done with the dead
measure. His only hope was in converting
one of the eight republicans wbo voted
for Senator W oloott’s motion. He found
that this couldn't be done and so abandoned
the attempt.
THE DEMOCRATS NOTIFIED.
He frankly told Senator Gorman the sit
uation, and Senator Gorman told him that
the democrats would do nothing more to
impede the progress of business. Whatever
ord?r of business is agreed upon by the re
publicans will be aUowed to go through
without factious opposition on the part of
the democrats. The Senate republican
steering committee has not as yet agreed
upon a programme, but it will in all proba
bility include the pure food, copyright and
bankruptcy bills.
LONG DEBATES TO BE AVOIDED.
Nothing that gives rise to prolonged de
bate will get through, however, for it
will be laid aside as soon as the prospect of
debate becomes apparent. Senator Aldrich
said to-day that the appropriation bills
would all become laws before March 4.
Speaker Reed on behalf of the House gives
similar assurance. Both say that there will
be no extra session, although they charge
the southern democrats with trying to
bringing one about for the purpose of elect
ing a southern man speaker, and getting a
tariff reform bill aud a free coinage bill
through next summer. The southern demo
crats indignantly deny this, and state that,
Senators Gorman and Carlisle having
assured them to lay that there was no fur
ther danger of the force bill movement, they
will not obstruct any longer, b
A GREAT ARTIST QB kD.
Meiseonler’s Master Hand Will Hold
the Brush No Mqffi-
Paris, Jan. 31.—Meissonier, the painter,
died in this city to-day. Hfi was born in
Lyons in 1812.
Jean Louis Ernest Meissonier was one of
the most noted painters of France—in fact,
of the world. Bis piotures Ar© of small
size, but of exquisite finish, and command
high prices. .
His “Friedland” in the 'Metropolitan
Academy of Art in Central 1 Park. New
York, cost $60,000. It represents a dash of
cavalry past Napoleon during the famoui
battle, and is one of the most
inspiring battle piece i pn canvas.
Each trooper’s saber is flashing
high in the air above his head, and tne
whole regiment is cheering the ’soldier-em
peror with a wild enthusiasm that is delin
eated in every line of their features.
Another of the dead painter’s master
pieces is on the opposite wall in the same
room of the academy. It is a spirited rep
resentation of the defense of tho famous
farm house that played so memorable a part
during the battle of Waterloo

Pierre, S. D., Jan. 81.—The senatorial
situation continues unchanged, with a possi
bility that no election will be held this ses

Moody for two years. The independent

republican to hold the position for two
years rather than be compiled to vote for
any republican.

WALDERSEE RESIGNS.
THE COUNT UNABLE TO AGREE
WITH THE EMPEROR.
The Withdrawal of Gen. Leczynekl also
Attributable to the Same Cause—The
Emperor's Favor Disappeared After
the General Had Dined with Prince
RBismarck.
Copyright , 1991, by tin Sew York Associated
Frets.)
Berlin, Jan. 81.—The resignation of
Count von Waldersee from his position as
chief of the general staff is not associated,
•s was reported, with his appointment as
commander of the Ninth army corps, which
was made vaoant by the Withdrawal of
Gen. Leczjnski. Like the latter, Count
von Waldersee retires from his position as
chief of staff through his inability
to agree with the emperor. The members
of the court and official circles are past be
ing surprised at anything that may happen
in the emperor’s administration. Gen.
Lecsynsky, six months ego, was a favorite
of the emperor. He was almost appointed
minister of war. He was openly
spoken of by the emperor as
among the cacst able of the German
generals.
HAD DINED WITH BISMARCK.
Gen. Leczynski a short time ago dined
with Prince Bismarck. The next time he
had to attend the emperor was upon the
occasion of his majesty’s recent visit to
Cuxhaven. He was then treated with
studious coldness, the emperor affecting to
be exclusively occupied with the attentions
of tho Hamburg officials, and according
Gen. Leczynski only the curtest necessary
notice. The causes of Count von
Waldersee’s retirement are repeated differ
ences with the emperor and Chancellor von
Caprivi in regard to army questions. His
uuflir.chlng adhesion to the set of ex-court
Chaplain Btoecker ha, however, irritated
the imerial temper more than any military
dispute. Count von Waldersee was present
Thursday at the annual meeting of the
Young Men’s Christian Association, in
which Dr. Stoecker is u shining light.
OTHER CHANGES.
Besides these changes, Minister Maybach
has offered his resignation to the emperor,
but the imperial acceptance has been de
layed. Gen. Albcdyli will retire from the
command of the Eighth army corps April
1, after he celebrates the jubilee of bis
entrance into the army. Baron Meer
scheidt will also retire from the oommand
of the Guards, and will be plaoed
upon the superannuated list. The baron’s
retirement is the genuine result of old age.
Gen. Albedyll, however, is still fit for good
work. The emperor’s restless nature, spells
of irritability and uncertain moods are due
to physical causes, whioh make him a diffi
cult master to serve.
von waldbrsee’s successor.
The Post states that Count von Waldersee
desired to command an army corps. The
emperor in the meantime has given to him
only the chain of the Order of Hohenzollern.
His successor as chief of staff will probably
be Gen. von Haesler, who has the highest
reputation as a strategist. He was for a
long time a member of the general staff be
fore be went to Metz to command the corps
garrisoning Alsace-Lorraine. He is devoted
to the work, and occupies the isolated dill
traction in the army of never taking wine
and as very rarely smoking.
the kaiser smokes too much.
The emperor’s entourage concur in the
opinion that it would be better for his maj
esty if he smoked less. Those in intimate
oontaot with him fled, without bis being
really ill, plain signs of recurring nervous
suffering. The court physicians have
strongly advised him to cease tne use ot to
bacco. The emperor persists in smoking a
dozen huge cigars daily.
KOCH UNDER FIRE.
The Koch method of treatment has re
ceived some damaging criticisms during the
week. Prof. Virchow has written to the
National Zeitung denying that be has re
tracted the expression of his opinion that
pneumonia might develop as a result of in
jections with lymph. He adheres to the
report he made to the medical
society, in which he demonstrated that
severe inflammatory diseases of the lungs
might arise from injections. Dr. Hankln,
the British medical delegate, partially sup
ports Prof. Virchow. He states that bis
observations prove that patients, under cer
tain conditions, are apt to develop new
tubercles after receiving injections of
lymph.
EXCITES INFLAMmATORY SYMPTOMS.
Dr. Hutchinson, one of the most eminent
British surgeons, reports the case of a pa
tient who reoeived injections here and who
seemingly improved, but wbo has since suf
fered a marked relapse. Dr. Hutchinson
says that the lymph exoitee local inflamma
tory symptoms, similar to those arising from
the use of other known remedies when
applied in the treatment of lupus. The
lymph, he says, possesses remarkable powers
of rapid aotion. He advises the suspension
of judgment on the exact value of the rom
edy. Other physicians, including Drs.
Hand, Gutman and Prof. Eriicb, in
formed a meeting of the medical
sooiety that microscopic examinations
of the blood of twenty-eight patients who
had received injections of lymph disproved
the theory that tho lymph caused tha forma
tlon of tubercle bacilli in the blood, no
baoilli being discovered in any case.
T,lough attacks upon the niothod of treat
ment have lessened public confidence,
the congress of the socialistic
relief societies sent an address of
congratulation to Prof. Ko©h, to which the
professor responded, saying that be specially
appreciated the testimony in recognition of
hts work from classes suffering the most
from tuberculosis, and that be hoped they
will profit most from the advantages of the
new treatmest.
The Prussian budget allots 165,000 marks
for the Koch institute. Only 20,000 marks
are allotted as Prof. Koch’s salary as direc
tor. Tha other heads ef the departments
will receievo 6,000 marks each.

SENATE PBOOEEDINOa
Senators Stating Bow They stood on
tha Force Bill.
Washington, Jan. 3t—The Vioe Presi
dent laid before the Senate this morning
the credentials of Mr. Cameron for bis new
term, commencing on March 4 next. They
were placed on file.
Mr. Culloai|presented two resolutions of
the House of Representatives In the Illinois
legislature. He said that they instructed
the senators from that state to vote for tho
free coinage bill and against the force bill,
so termed in the resolution. He regarded
these resolutions, be said, as in the nature
of petitions, aud asked that they be filed in
the records of the Senate. It was so or
dered.
The House resolution for tne appointment
of a committee of nine to attend the funeral
of Secretary Windom was laid before the
Senate, and Mr. Morrill offered a resolution
for the appointment of a committee of seven
senators to join the House committee in
attending the funeral, and to take such
other action as may be appropriate in honor
of the memory of the deceased, and to man
ifest the respect and appreciation of con
gress for his publio services.i The resolution
was agreed to, and Messrs. Morrill,
Washburn, Sherman, Allison, Harris,
Payne and Gorman were Appointed. Mr.
Morrill also offered a resolution, which was
azreed to, for a meeting of the Senate Mon
day afternoon at 2 o’clock to enable the
senators to attend Secretary Wiodoui’s
funeral.
BLAIR ON TUB FORCE BILL.
Mr. Blair, rising to a personal explana
tion, eaid that he nad observed, circulating
in the newspapers of the couhtry, what par
ported to be a copy of an agreement alleged
to have been entered into by the republi
can senators with refereno to the oonsider
of the force bill—so called, c.r elections
bill, more properlv called. The
names of certain senators were given as
having violated their agreements, aud
allegations made that all the other re
publican so inters bad signed the agree
ment without oondition. As that allegation
was to broad and so general at to include
himself among those who had signed that
agreement without oondition he desired to
say that he bad never signed such an agree
ment except with a dear qualification that
it should not interfere with his efforts for
the consideration of the educational bill.
TELLER AGAINST THE BILL.
Mr. Teller said that be did not intend to
pay attention to newspaper reports, and, as
a general rule, never gave any attention to
statements made by newspaper cor
respondents. He only desired to say now
that the statement, pretty generally circu
lated, that he had been In favor of the
foroe bill, so-called (or election bill), at any
time, was incorrect; that the further state
ment that amendments Vfero made to that
bill in committee whenever he asked to
have them made, was also incorrect, and
that the statement that he had ever
agreed to support the bill, dlrectlv
or indirectly, was incorrect He
would say now, lest bu might have
no other opportunity, that his opposition to
the elections bill had never grown out of
bis attitude on the silver question. If the
silver question had been dlspatJß of early
last year, in aooordonoe with his wishes,
his course on the elections bill would not
have been changed. He had beau opposed
to that bill on principle, aud he had never
for a moment entertained au idea that it
would be so amended that he should be able to
vote for it; because that would involve such
a radical change in the bill that its friends
would not then care about its passage. He
said now, and it was all that he proposed to
say, no matter what might be said about
his attitude or bis relations to the bill, that
he had never promised to support it; that
he had never intended to support it, and
that he had never supported It.
BACK TO THE APPROPRIATION BILL.
The appropriation bill was then taken up
and the amendment of the oommittee on
appropriations which was under and scussion
last Friday, to strike out the provision that
government transports ton on land-aided
railroads shall not exceed 50 per cent, of the
charges to private parties was agreed to.
The question then came up on the amend
ment of the committee to insert a provision
that government transportation on land
aided railroads shall be paid for on such
basis as the Secretary of War may deem
just and reasonable, not to exceed 70 per
cent, of the charges for like service to pri
vate parties.
Mr. Power moved to amend the commit
tee amendment by reduciug the limitation
from 70 per cent, to 50 per cent, and on that
he demanded the yeas and nays. The
amendment was rejected—yeas 3 (Messrs.
Cockrell, Davis and Power); nays 42. The
committee amendment was then agreed to
and the bill was passed.
OTHER BILLS PASSED.
The following bills, among others, were
taken from the calendar and passed:
The Senate bill to authorize the construc
tion of a bridge across the Cumberland river
for tho use of the Chesapeake and Nashville
railway.
The House bill to promote tho construe
tion of a safe deep water harbor on the
coast of Texas at Corpus Christ! aud Fadro
Island (with amendments).
The Senate joint resolution for the use of
the appropriation In the last river and har
bor bill relating to tho Apalac.iioola river
in Florida—to the amount of $5,000 for
Lee’s slough.
The conference report on the bill to
amend the interstate commerce act of 1887,
so as to allow the taking of the depositions
of witnesses before notaries public.
Mr. Quay presented resolutions of the
Pennsylvania legislature lu favor of the
federal elections bill, which were read and
laid on the table.
PENSIONS BILLS PUT THROUGH.
The fortification appropriation bill was
then taken up: but it was laid aside in
formally, aud the pension bills on the calen
dar were proceeded with. There were 110
bills passed, among them bills giving
pensions of SSO a month to the widows
of Gen. Buell, Gen. Btarkwoatber, Maj.
Gordon of the Fifth cavalry, Geo. Pelouze,
Lieut. CoL Lee, Brig. Gen. Abraham
Duryee and Geo. Edward F. Noyes; also
the House bill granting a pension of SIOO a
month to Geb. Franz Sisgel. The bill to

to and wont over.
A message of the President in relation to
the vacancy created by the death of the
Secretary of the Treasury was laid before
the Senate, read and referred to the com
mittee on finance.
A CABLE TO HAWAII.
Mr. Edmunds gave notice of an amend
ment to the diplomatic appropriation bill to
enable the President to make engernents
for telegraphic oun-nunication between the
United States and Hawaiian Islands for a
period of not less than fourteen years, and
appropriating $3,000,000 therefore, not more
than $250,000 to be expended in any oue
year.
The Senate then adjourned until Monday

TROOPS TRY TO START A MOVE

Three Regiments Involved-The Bulk

In the Bud—The Ringleaders Apt to
be Shot
Oporto, Jan. 31.—A tremendous sensa
tion has been caused here by what may
turn out to be a revolution against the
authority of the government Three regi
ments of lnfautry openly revolted to-day.
The remainder of the garrison, including
the municipal guard, remains loyal to the
government. The populace of Oporto
hold aloof from the movement at present
It is alleged that tho object of the muti
neers is to establish a Portuguese
republic. The rebels and the loyalists are,
as this dispatch is sent, fighting in the
streets. Rumor has it that many have been
killed on both tides, and tbs citizens are
barricading their houses. A report is circu
lated that government troops are being
sent in haste from several points in this
city.
THE REVOLT SUPPRESSED.
Oporto, Jan. 31. 4:30 p. u.—The revolt
has beeu suppressed, and order is once more
restored in tne oity. Shortly after the be
ginning of the revolt the insurgent troops
and a portion of the fiscal guards,
led by two non-commissioned offloers,
seized the Hotel de Villa (town hall)
in Dom Pedro square, and proposed to
there and then dnelaro a republic. How
