Baltimore Ban. The first half of the message is devoted to a comprehensive review of all the foreign relations of this country, and of every ques tion which has recently arisen, or is likely to arise, to affect in any way those relations. The President seems to have anticipated all the criticisms and complaints which the jingoisUof either paty are likely to make in regard to the foreign policy of the admin istration, and disposes of them in advance by a simple, clear and candid statement of the facts'. No fair and p prejudiced person, Democrat or Republican, can read this por tion nt the message without being impressed by the perfect fairness and firmness with which the President has upheld all the rights of this country and the traditional and accepted doctrines of American diplo macy. His thorough A mericanism upon all these questions is in fact one of the marked and distinguishing characteristics of President Cleveland's policy. upon tue financial question it has been generally expected that the President won Id be clear, sound, explicit and strong. His message, wit not be fonaa e disappoint the public expectation in any one of these par ticulars. Every word of this portion-of the message deserves to be read, and doubtless will be read, with attention and interest by every intelligent American who takes an interest in the material welfare and finan cial honor of Phis countiyr. Abroad it will be accepted with increasing respect for the high order of statesmanship and financial wisdom that governs the present adminis tration of the Government so far as its exec utive department is concerned. To the sober, hard headed and sturdily honest American people at large the mes sage will come as an exposition of their own ideas and a demonstration of the truths which they hold at heart, if tbey never before found them expressed in such forcible and fitting words. - icamond Times.lv There have been few more comprehen sive messages sent in by our Presidents than that read in C egress vesterdav from Mr Cleveland. It treats a ereat variety of topics, snd treats all of them interestingly. On the subject of paper currency the President is learning as all the rest of the jcountry is He almost recommends turn ing the matter of paper currency over to the State banks, where it belongs. KiciinaorJd Pis-at h. Then comes what we must pronounce an able discussion and explanation of all the matters involved in the currency problem. We cannot ray that he presents any new ar guments but we may sav that behandltstbe old ones with marked ability. He tells how he has managed to keep gold and silver at a parity. He advocates the retirement of the greenbacks, or United Stages notes. How? By exchanging United States bonds, bearing a low rate of interest, for bonds of large as well as of small denominations. Just here let us say that Mr. Cleveland, like so many other statesmen, indirectly hintstbathe beleives that the free coinage of silver at 16 to 1 might be accomplished if the leading commercial nstions of the world would unite in an effort in that behalf. 'Mt York Bveni- g Post It is a blessing to the country that we have a President capable of holding np the truth before Congress and the people in this manly way. His teVm of office is more than half finished, atsd he will soon take his place in the walks of private life, but th-s message makes an-ineffaceahle record in the inserst of sound money and business sta bility. Presidents and Congresses may come and eo, but tbey will never get away from this record except by acquiescing in the truths which it contains. WasMngt n P- 81 Mr. Cleveland has discussed but one as pect of our national affairs, and be has pro claimed afresh the Monroe doctrine with a blunt, direct, and straightforwsrd earnest ness as to which there can be no two opin ions It means that no European nation shall be permitted to make territorial en croachments upon the Western hemisphere so lorg as the United States has strength enough to draw a sword. CHICAGO AND THE SOUTH CHICAGO-SOUTHERN STATES COTTON EXPOSITION.

Augusta, Ga., Dec. 4 - At a meeting of the presidents of the cotton mills in Augusta, and other prominent citizens, including ex Senator Patrick Walsh, ex-Congressman George T Barnes; F. B Deberard, of the New York Dry Good Economist ; D. B. Dyer, president of the Augusta railway, and others, the following resolutions were adopted: Whxbias, The South has been eminently successful in the manufacture of cotton goods, having in fifteen years increased the capTtal Invested 500 per cent., from f 22,000, 000 to 1110 000,000, and, W hxbbas, A diversity of products would secure new mills and largely increase the cotton industry, and, Whibsas. With new outlets, the South could produce and distribute all classes of cotton goods much more cheaply than at present.' Jtesolved, That it is for the interest of the South to encourage the production of all classes of cotton goods not now made by Southern mills, especially the production of the highest erads. Betolved, That the complete development of cotton working in the South will be greatly aided bv the immediately establish ment of Southern bleacheries. print works, starch works, and Similar industries. Betolved, That to fully-ehow these onpor tunitien in a manner that should bring them o the knowledge of the whole people of the United States would be a reasonable method for inducing the location of such industries in th Sxtuth. Resolved, That the citizens of Augusta con sider that a cotton exposition in Chicago would be a proper and effective means for the ru'pose named, ifcrofoed.'That a committee on permanent organization be appointed to report to this meeting a plan for such an exposition, said committee to com prise Mes-rs W. B Young, Geo.T Barnes D. B Dyer, Patrick Walsh, James P.

"We further recommend that a sufficient sum be raised by subscrntion to provide for the expenses of promotion, including the cost of the printed matter and the services of a general manager whose duty it shall be to act as executive offWr under the direction of the executive comittee.

Ooneid x A GENERAL SHAKING UP In tbe Mechanical Department of the Brooklyn Navy Yard l-'ore-men Dismissed for Incompe tency Competitive Exam inations to ba Held. Washington, Dec. 4 Secretary Herbert today gave a decided shaking np to the mechanical department of the Brooklyn navy yard. After careful consideration he has-detailed Naval Constructor Francis M. Bowles to take charge of the construction and repair department at the yard, and it is stated that this action wag taken because of the administrative ability and capacity of Constructor Bowles to secure a fair day's work oot of the force under , him at a fair dty'a pay. While the constructor was in charge of the p:nstruction department at he Norfolk navy yard, was found that the work there cost 25 per cent iess than similar work at tbe Brooklyn navy yard. Mr. Bowles has been in charge of the Brooklyn yard for abont six months, and there have been manv jnstances showing that he is gradually bringing the force un der him up to tbe standard that i desirable so far as erst of work and excellence of workmanship is concerned Mr Bowles recommended that a change be made in the positions of master iDside shiptittr. master painer,master shipwright and master sbipsmith in the department of rohinh fie hnsfcha-ee. stating generally that the men holding these position have not the force nor tne meobanica' ability to con duct the work and carry on its details satis f actor ily and that the interests of the eervire require men of more general capacity to administer the duties which are required f thm. ppon receipt o thi communication, which was'aprroved by the commandant vf the yard, the Secretary has Hrtnred thea nositions vacant and a com petitive . examination will be held at the Brooklyn navy yard on the I8t,h instant which will be open to all comers, for the purpose of securing foremen, who can dem--onstrat" to the eminipg board, to be com posed of naval officers, that they have the admini-trative as well as the mechanical ability to fill the positions named, satisfac torily. It is siid at the department that politics played no part in these changes and that it is not known with which partv the present Incumnents are affiliated, but that the change is a business matter to be carried opt on business principles. Advices have been received from Chicago of snhstantinl aid in the movement and it is sure to result in a magnificent exposition of Southern products, THE SENATE COMMITTEES. n Old Senate Bale Places the Ms jorities on the Committees in the Hands of the Kepoblfcans. Washington, Dec. 4 If thff Democrats should enter an objection to tb election of Republican chairmen for the Senate com mittees and the members of tft party can not get the necessary majority, it transpires that they can place a majority of their Sen ators on the committees anyhow. Some one in the caucus to-day palled attention to Rule 24 of the Senate. Th;s rule has been in force since 1829. and its pertinence to tbe present situation was unnoticed until this afternoon. What the Republicans may easilv do. is spparent upon reading the text of this rule which is as follows: "In the appointment of standing commit tees, the Senate, unless otherwise ordered, hall proceed by bf'lot to appoint severally the chairman of each committee, and then by ballot, the other members necessary .w complete the same. A majority of ,the whole number of votes given shall be nec i essary to the choic" of a chairman of s standing committee. Dm a plurality oi votes shall elept the other members thereof. All other committees shall be appointed by bl lot unless otherwise ordered. A plurality of votes shall appoint." Whatever of doubt may exist as to the power of the Republicans to command a majority there can be no qnestion of the fact that they haye a plurality over the Democrats, lis -enr to the Senate1, tw i the President to of '!!

For instance 70n 000 in gold was offered by Lonisville, Ky. banks The gold was light weigut and the banks wanted it accepted at itifrw and not at its bnllion value.

SENATORIAL CAUCUSE& Republicans A cing Upon the Snp- position of Controlling the Sen ateTo Fill Committee Vacancies Ihe Pop ulist Caucus. Washington, Dec - 4 The Republican Senate cancua thia afternoon was exceed ingly brief, not more than fifteen minutes being spent in the Marble room. Senator Sherman, chairman of the caucus, was authorized to name a committee of nine whose duty it shalj be to fill the vacancies in the Senate committees and designate the committee chairmen This committee will be reported to a caucus to be called when 8enator Sherman has made his selection. The Republicans sre proceeding in tbe mat ter of filling the committee as though there were no donbt abont their eventually taking full control of the Senate. - The eorn mittee appointed by Senator 8herman will confer with the Democratic managers and ascertain the preference of that party for committee ss-ignments Not a word was said to-day about the proposed reorganization of theelecive offices, and it is not proba ble that anything will be done in this mat ter until after 'be holiday recess. The caucas of Popnlist Senators last night does not appear to give the Republicans any concern The Populists determined , that they would not make any effort to reorgan ise along their own lines, but agreed to stand firmly together. Mess's Jones, of Nevada, and Stewart were present, but the binding force of their agreement is somewhat weak ened by the modification to the effect that they should vote solidly until such time as it was apparent thst the Republicans had determined upon a plan of reorganization, or the Democrats had decided to make a fight against giving up control of the Senate When that hour arrives it is be lieved that the PoDulists will divide accord ing to their affiliations for the two parties, which means that two W'U go to' the Demo crats and four to the Republicans. To be successful in any effort to remain in con trol, the Democrats would be compelled to command the whole. Populist yq.e in the Senate. A Boston Society Scandal. Boston, Dec, 4 Mrs. Francis L. Higgin son, wife of the famous banker, and a social favorite, has forsaken her home and family, leaviDg no word behind her. She has been gone over two weeks. There is also missing from the same social set Mr. James Wheat land 8mith. a young lawyer. Mrs. Higgin son is within a few months of 40 years of sgte, and the mother of four children. Her hnsbahd is about ten years her senior. Smith is onlv 26 vears of age. The two have been f riends in society for some months past, and the voring man's devotion to the matron has cuaed considerable comment. Mrs Higginson left here for New York, saying that she intended taking in the horse show, and that she would be bck in two or three days. Smith went to New York two weeks ago. He said be was going to meet his mother, who resides at the Hotel 8avoy in New York and that he would be back on Thanksgiving day That is the ltst definite information concerning him It is said that he met Mrs. Higginson in New York and attended the horse show with her. and' that both of them stopped at the Waldorf at least n part of the time. It is believed that Mrs. Higgomon and yourg Smith took passage on the steamship Columbia, for Genoa, Novem ber 23d. " ' , Society is mu"b wrought up over the dual disappearance and the families of the prin cipals sre besrtbroken. It is understood that the steamer Columbia will be met at Genoa by agents of the Htgginsons to detr mine whether or not the belief is well founded. i- - It is not thought likely that an arrest will be mad- if the couple should b found, but the Hlggtnsons will not Bay what they pro pose to do.

Like petitions were presented by Senator Call, of Florida. Senator Sanire.Renublican.of Washington. in introducing a bill to provide fortifications and other coast defences, alluded sarcas tically to patriotic speeches to be delivered to the Senate in favor of Cuban independ ence and other such subjects. "As if we were able," he said "to carry a chip on our shoulder the fact being that of the twenty eight coast cities of the United States only one of them. New York, bad any adequate defense, and even New York had only one tenth of the means of defense that aha nnsht to have.

He spoke of the importance of the island both in a strategic and in a commercial point of view, and declared his belief in the pro priety of promptly recognizing the revoln tionists of Cuba and assisting them, in all lawful ways to secure their independence and to establish a republic He would not have the United States Government plunge headlong into a needless quarrel with the Spanish Government, but he believed it to be the true policy and doctrine of this Gov ernment, wherever a people showed them selves desirous of establishing a republican form of Government upon adjacent terri tory, they should receive American encour agement and support. which thereupon went to the calendar, and as Senator Call, who was to sneak on the same subject, preferred to postpone his speech until tomorrow, the Senate pro ceeded to executive business, and at 1:30 o'clock adlonrned until to morrow.
