Democrats and Populis's. Promi nent among these were Senators Teller.Stew art Call, Allen, Tillman and Mantle. The comerence was called for the purpose of enabling those favoring silver to discuss the subject in an formal way'. No effort was made to outline a formal plan ' of campaign.

The President's message in hound, Mr Teller says to open up a dis cussion of the financial" question and there can be no discussion of that question, he as serts. without a discussion of the free c in- ageqnes ion. It was agreed that no point should be waived, and that in a general manner the silver question should be. forced to the front whenever the opportunity pre sented itself. Another conference will probably be held later in the session. There was some talk on the part of a few of the more ardent silverites of attempting to r organize the Senate on a silver basis, but this was not taken seriously. It is not thought prohable that such aa effort will be made. The silver men will content them selves with the capture of the Finance com mittee, thev having held this committee during the last Congress. The Republicans will enter no protest t5 this plan, for the reason that the majority of the Senate is favorable to free coinage and any action the committee might take if it were made bv the gold standard men, would meet with prompt revision in the Senate when the h -dv took a vote. The Western silver men appear to favor the selection of Senator Wi cott. or (Joioraao. ior me vacancv caused by the retirement of Senator McPher son. of New Jersey. The Republican Senatorial caucus, alter a bi let session oi nair an nour, auj'mrueu until Wednesday without having acc m- Dlished anvthii g heyond the conunui'ion in office of Senator Sherman as chairman am,!

The suggestion was made that a candidate tor rresiaenc pro tern, ot the Senate De maue, out, una waa comhatted on the grounds that when that was done the caucus should be ready to put forward candidates for the other eleven ffiws nf the Senate. 1 here appears to d a disposition on the part of the Republicans to nominate a ticket ior au me ouices, ami it is believed that this will be done at the next meeting. The silver Kepuoncans ana Kemocram this morning informed the i'opujists mat they could not join in any vote to -organize rm ilver lines, and as soon as the Populists, who are the main advocates ot mis pian, re convinced thev cannot be successful . it is claimed that they will divide accor .

Some persons were killed, the report says, but order was restored within three hours. Details of the rioting at Harooot. show that on November 10th the Kurds made an attack upon the place, but were easily re pulsed On the 11th a party of the soldiers and leading Turks met the Kurds in a conference, during the' progress of which a: bug'e was sounded, t which signal the soldiers with drew, TheKurds thereupon advanced, with yells. There - as no effort on the part of tne soldi rs and Armenians to resist, and the iurKs joined in the kiliii g and plundering The Armeni n school was burned, and then began the attack upon the Christian quarter, the buildings of whichspere also Set on fire. The Christians were without weapons of any sort, and trusted entirely to the Government to protect them. The Ameticans remained in the girls' seminary until that building was set on fire, and then they appealed to the Governor for protec tion. They obtained a guard of soldiers, all but two of whom afterward deserted. These two remained, and earned out the orders is sued to them to fight the fires which had been kindled The burning continued for three days The Americans were stripped of everything but their clothiog. All of the Christian yillages around were burned by the Kuidg. . -. a.. .w i.'.- - The outrages continued unchecked until the Government at Constantinople ordered twe troops to take action. Fourteen Kurds were then shot, when the murder and pil lage ceased instantly. Boston, Dec. 2 Word was received by mail this mornings at the rooms of the American Board, stating that there had been a terrible dori.-ine among the Moslems atOorfa, a station of the Central Turkey mission. Christians and a few Moslems had been murdered in what proportion is not stated Pillage and murder occurred all day on October 28th. The premises of the mis sion of the American Board were surrounded by armed Christians. The only "missionary at Oorfa is Miss Corinna Shattuck, of Louis ville, Ky. THE NEW CONGRESS. PROCEEDINGS OF THE FIRST DAY OF THE SESSION. FRANCE AND BRAZIL Dispute Over Territory In Gnlana. Hostilities of the Uncrowned Kin Veija Cabral The Situ ation Critical. Geoegktown, Demerara, Nov. 19 Latest advices from thecontested territory between Brazil and the French Guiana report that Vega Cabral, the uncrowned King and auto cratic ruler of Counani. Carsevnne and Mapa, continues his open hostility toward all French subjectsand- has now a number of them in captivity. It is now announced that Evariste, who piloted the French guL boat Bjngoli to Amapa and who, it W8S reported had been "burned at the stake by order of Cabral, did not die It appears that 'abral han given the order for the man to be burned and he was prepared for exe cution He was tied to a stake, the wood about him was lighted and he became un conscious from his torture, which gave rise to the statement that he had perished. It appears, however, that when he lost con sciousness Cabral ordered the fire quenched nd that tfforts he mde to restore Evariste These effons were finally successful and Evariste was committed to prison. The situation is now considered most critical and the official, a well as the public opinion is tat how at ail points of the con tested territory the lives ot t rencn euDjects wi'l be seriously imperiled if the Govern ment does not take resolute military steps to occupy the whole of these regions r to at least break the power of Cabral Should the National Government- at Paris deliy much longer to take the necessary steps in tr.ii matter the people of Cayenne will themselves undertake the task of taking vengeance upon Cnbral and an expedi tion, the cost of which will be defrayed by public subscriptions and probably aun mented by colonial funds. will be dis patched to Mapa to avenge the death of those who have been sacrificed by Cabral. to liberate, if p si-ih e, those French subjects now held as prisoners by Cabral and. to assert the rights of theGuianese to inhabit.on equal terms at l-ast, with Brazilian subjects, the contested territory. Senate Adjourns 4 feter Qualification of New Members-New Faces inT the Senate Election of Officers by the House Kales of the Fifty-First Congress Adopted Youthrul Appearance of the House. Washinqtoh. Dec. 2 The Fif ty-fourth Congress began its sessions at noon to-day, with crowded galleries and many jother manifestations of acute interest in its pro ceedings, including of j course the inevitable floral decorations. For the third time in the last twenty five years, the popular will found expression in a reversal of political dominance, and the new Congress was called to order with Democratic ascendency in the Senate on the point of disappearing and the House overwhelmingly Republican. There were fifteen new faces among the Senators,, not counting Chilton, of Texas, who re-occupies a seat he once held before by appointment, and there were in addition thirteen re elected Senators to be sworn in by Vice President Stevenson, as their own successors. Of the hold-river Set a tors whose terms will expir. two -yerfrom 4 now, some of the most prominent, includ ing Senators B'ackburn, Brice, Hill, Voor hees, Vest and Peffer, took their seats to-day with the shadow hanging over them of strong probability that their : places may be filled by others when this Congress expires In the House of Representatives changes were still more marked One of the features which provofced commentfrom the galleries was the youthful appearance of many of the new memtiera Several States have sent as representatives men who are still in their twenties Probably two score of others are under 40 years of age. In paint of age the present House is the youngest known to the history of American legislation. These boy ish-appearing memrers bright-faced, intel ligent looking, well-groomed, well-mannered and well-dressed, college men most of them, presented striking contrast in their youttif ul appearance to their veteran asso ciates, such as Grosyenor of Obi , whose flowing white beard gives him a venerable appearance disproportionate to his age; to ex Speaker Galusha Grow of Pent sylvatiia, hale, hearty and vigorous, desoite his 70 and odd years; to Cu berson of Texas now entering upon his eleventh term, and other of the House veterans whose political pros pects were not temporarily submerged in the November elections of 94.

THE SENATE. There was an unusually large attendance of Senators when the Fifty fourth Congress conveued to daythe only recorded absen tees being Senators Hill of New York, Lind say of Kentucsy, Woirvtt of Colorado and the two Senators from Louisiana. The only interesting feature of the. pro ceedings was the. swearing in of the new Senators. Being unofficially advised that the Presi dent's message would not be delivered till noon to-morrow,' the Senate immediately thereafter adjourned till that t'me. The cordiality with which Senator Gor man, of Maryland, was received by his as sociates on both sides of the chamber whs one qf the marked features of the day. He entere 1 the chamber closely followed by Senator Brice, of Ohio, nd as the two stoo l taikiug and j oking. Senator Frye .f Jlaioe, and others joined in the bandinage. and Senator Frye, in an audible voice remarked: "They have not downed this mat yet.',' Senator Sherman entered alone nd took little part in the ger.eral congratulations. H0.USEOP REPRESENTATIVES. The machinery for the organization of the House of Representatives worked to day in a very satisfactory manner, without the slieht jar. Mr Reed of Main, in pu'suace i "f the unanimous decision of the Republi ; can cau-us, was elected to the Speakership oy a vote of 54. as against Sto for Mr. risp of Georgia, the Democratic candidate; 6 for Mr Bell of t'oiorado, the Populist candi date, and 1 for Mr. Culberson of Texas, Democrat. The 6 votes for the Poputi-t candidate were given bv Messrs. Baker of Kanas, Howard of Alabama. Keru of Ne- hraska and Shuford. Skinner and Strand of Sorth Carolina. The 1 yo'e for Mr Culber son was given by bis colleague, Mr. Grain, this being the only deviation from party programme. Mr. Reed's speech in taking the chair waa brief and incisive He would not speak for the past, be said; the past c -uld speak for itself. Is or would he speak for the future, as thev were not now putting off the har ness, but putting it on. But he suggested that those who had acted with twisd-m iu the past might be fairly expected to act with wisdom in the future After the oath of office had been admin istered to the Speaker and all the members, the next step in the Republican programme, the election oi House officers, was taken, and Messrs. McDowell of Pennsylvania, Russell of Missouri, "Glenn of New York, McElroy of Ohio, and Conden of Michigan, were chosen as clerk, sergeant at-arms. doorkeeper, postmaster and chap'ain, re spectively. The ruies of the Fifty-first Con gress popularly knowuas the Heed-rules were adopted for the government of the House in the present affairs, will an assur ance f rom Mr Cannon, of Illinois, who had offered the resolution, that they would here after be referred to the Committee on Rules and that the House would have ah opp6r- tunitv to discuss the report of the commit tee. That assurance seemed to satisfy Mr Crisp, who had raised the question, and the matter went through without further con tention. After some preliminary proceedings and a drawing for seats in the U3ual manner, nnd in which drawiDg many of the prizes fell to ome of the leat known of the mem bers, and many of the blanks to some of the most distinguished, the House at 1:35 o'clock o. m. adiourned until to morrow at noon and the clerk gave notice of a Democratic caucus immediately. Mr. Linton. Republican, of Michigan had the honor of introducing the first bill in the Fifty-fourth 'ongTess. ; The measure provides for a re-classification of railway postal clerks. Uridef It : they are divided into ten classes. Those of the first clas are to receive & salary of $800 per year f 'om which sum their salaries are graded, up to $1 800 per year, tor the tenth year.

Cortland, 3sT. Y., Dec. 2 The wreck of the Ne w York and Philadelphia night ex press on the Dele ware. Lackawanna and Western railroad at Preble at 11:05 o'clock last night was the result of a most deliberate plot on the part of persons unknow n. The train was due at Preble at 11:01 p. m., but does not Btop there. It was four minutes late in passing and had ten miles of straight track on a down grade, where the train is usually run at the rate of sixty miles an hour The train consisted of the engine, the "Sam Sloan," the largest passenger locomo tive on the division; an express car arid a car of scenery for the show troop. "A Bowerv Girl;" a baggage car, a smoker, a day coach and aPuU nan sleeper. Ten rods north of Preble station there is a switch which side tracks cars behind the station. There i a wter tank a few rods north of the switch, so that the switch can not be see i from the north till the water tank has been parsed The switch is an automatic ball affair and must be he'd np to open it The ball leyer was propped up by an iron bar and a piece of fence board.

The business of the court has so increased that the marshal's office now yields $6,000 a year and the district attorney's $5,000, while the amount of the clerk s fees has doubled. The statement is made, relative to the much talked of "graveyard insurance" cases at Beaufort, that a few years ago this same business was carried on at Newbern.

Miss Hilda Clrh.!u Success. Washington, Dec. 2 A young Southern girl who recently made 'her debut in New York achieved another success in light opera to flight at the Lafayette Square opera house. Attracted by favorable press notices in the Metropolitan journals, a large audi ence, of whom a liberal i proportion were Southerners, and among whom were Vice President Stevenson and Secretary oriisje and their families, came to see Miss Hilda Clark as Princess Bonnie in Willard Spen cer's comie opera of that Dame. Her success here : was even more pro, nounced than, in New York". Mis Clark is a' native of Kansas Citv. MO., where her father waa once a wealthy oanxer. isne is cioseiy cou- nected with distinguished Southern fsmiiieg, her mother ben g a Miss wmston, who was a granddaughter of Col.

The Sun's Cotton Kevl-w. New York, Dec. 2 The Sun's cotton re view says: t;orton ieu 7 pomi, recovered 6 points of this, then dropped 8 point3 net and afterwards recovered 3 to 5 points. making the actual decline for the day 4 to 5 points, closing steady, with sales of 226,200 bales. " '' To-day's features were: Weighed down bv unfavorable Liverpool news, large re ceipts, declining spot prices, dullness of dry- goo's owing to tne mno weamer, seinng for local and Southern account partly on stop order, bear hammering and an ab sence or aggressive s.pecutation in tbe inter e t of betterprices, the market fell to day At one time there was a rally, owing to the covering of shorts and some new buy ing by the South, but' later on the price again dropped under the w eight of liqui dating sales, otvt later, there was. however. a rally which left tbe net decline for the day comparatively small. It is true that the ports and tbe interior towns got more coton thz-n expected; tat te estimates for New Orleans and Houston to-morrow wee large; that the European politicHl news was more or lesa distarbing and that there is at. th" moment no activity in the speculation nor any mempson me part oi tie mends or cotton to force the price'upward. Yet the fact remains that there are still plenty of friends of cotton and t jey do not regrd the sitnation as unpromising by any meat s the reason mat while the receipts may temporarily increase, the movement in Sep tember is not likely to be lsrge. The total receipts ev-n for this week are not eti ma'ed at over 215,000 bales, against aoa.uou a year ago SI1rt 313 (100 in 18,93 n.rtHSrmore, it is areued that the quantity to be brought into s-ght this week cannot vey well exceed 300,000 ba'es against 367,- 000 in 1892, when the crop was onjy 6,700. 000 bales Still the fact that the pott receipts this week are expected to be 20,000 bales larger than last" week and that those at the interior towns promise to be perhaps a little larger than last week, is not without in fluence at a time when tbe speculation is at a low ebb and smaller holders show signs of discouragement. However, the bulls look for a better state of things in the not very distant future and as yet the South shows no great anxiety to sell spot cotton. PADM-.
