C, December 12, In the prayer at today's session of Hie Bouse, Chaplain Couden referred di rectly to the bill passed yesterday,, for bidding the sale of liquor in the Capitol, and asked that the bill might Bpeedlly become a law to be never repealed. . The resolution extending until the end of ihe session the investigation by the joint committee of the use of free alco hol in the arts, was agreed to. The House, in committee of the whole discussed nine private bills till 5 p. m., . passed two of them and then took a, re cess until 8 p. m. to consider private pen sion bills, .:'-.''."" The first night session of this sessioL was well attended and resulted in tin advancement on the calendar, in com mittee of the whole, of thirty-one pri vate pension and relief bills. The are now ready for passage, by tin , Bouse.' ' v Semi-official advices from Madrid BtaU that government circles, as well as tin . conservative element generally, - an - entirely satisfied with thnt feature oi the President's message which related to Cuba. The first impression created by the meager reports cabled to Spain was not satisfactory and produced Borao irrita tion. : When the full text of the Cubau . chapter appeared in the leading papers of the kingdom there was. it is reported, a complete revolution of sentiment and ' the President's courteous and consider ate treatment of the subject received general approval. . The President's utterances are taken s on the whole to indicate a better under standing between the two countries. These advices contain the further infor mation that as it is the intention of the Spanish government, when certain oi the provinces are pacified, to give home rule to Cuba on the lines indicated in the President's message, little fear of ' intervention is now felt. " "A moderate measure" is the charac- . terication wbtch leading Republicans ol ' the Bouse give to the new tar ill bii - which it is proposed to frame this winter v- in anticipation of an extra session oi Congress. - V It is explained what is desired is a bill which will provide a sufficient revenue to cover the deficit now existing, furnishing - proper protection to home industries. It Is pointed out that conditions have con slderabiy changed since what is known at the McKinley bill became a law, and that rates of duty that were Justified ttieu an unnecessary at present. It is stated for example that the tin plate industry, which was enormously stimulated by the. duty of two cents pound imposed in the McKinley law, it now to well established that a return to the former rate is unnecessary. The sugar schedule promises to cause more mbarassment than any other in the bill. Borne of the Republicans of the Ways and Means Committee say that the thro. States which produce sugar, Louisiana, . Texas and Nebraska, gave their vote last month to Mr. Bryan, and this, in connec tlon with the position which the members of Congress from Louisiana and Texas have always taken with respect to a tarifl - bill, will be, it is asserted, a strong lnflu - ence against protecting this industry any further than the necessities of the case - require. . . ' ?, .. -. , v.' - The agriculturalschedulo will probably be fixed at the former rate of duty, while the woolen schedule, It is said, will re. ceive a sufficient protection to satisfy the manufacturers. The cotton and steel and Iron schedules are not " likely to be changed.'. The present ad valorem system will be changed to a system of specific i duties. r- v:, : The bUL It Is said, will contain a pro. vision that goods in bond will, when taken out, pay the rate of duty in force, and not tnejower rate, at wbicii tbey were ongi - nally brought to this country. An ar raugement will be made whereby dates will be assigned to certain Interests to be beard so that there may be some system attc method of giving hearings without embarassment. The date upon which the hearings will begin will be made pub lic when the full committee meets. . A bill offered in the House by Mr. Ray and referred to the Judiciary Committee is a recognition of the suicide mania that has prevailed through the country for a month past and shows at least that 1 Mr. Ray is up-to-date. It was not intro duced by request. . .. ' .''" - The bill's title is, "To prevent the niul tiplloation of suicides. " It reads as fol . lows: -, '. '. ; "That no newspaper or so-called po lice gazette shall be transmitted through the mails of the United States which contains any picture of a suioide, or say of the details relating thereto beyond the simple statemeht of death by sui f Bivl'lg name, date and place.

The Improving - trade, both In America and htirope, promises to more than absorb a supply that seems now unlikely to bo as lare as had been earlier anticipated by many, and widely pro claimed bv the bears. Despite this cotton has declined. The reason for tlie decline is that speculative holder of contracts for the future delivery of cotton bclnir, unable to margin their transactions, have been forced to sell in 'New York. The Stiesllon is thus raised as to whether p ro ues rs of cotton are likely most aubstantl. any to proiit ny purchases ol contracts, or by lioltliiic spot cotton. We invite correspondence upon the subject, and meantime solicit consignment of cotton to New York or to Liverpool to be held a loan us tho owners may desire. We are willing to pay sight drafts against the bills of lading for such cousigumonts within a reasonable limitation of their value, and will charge not over 0 per ceul. interest on such advances, Bpecial terms as to communions, etc., on largo consignments Will be maun ou application.
