THE NEW SENATORS’ TERMS. RESULT OF THE DRAWING BY LOT. A Number of New Bills Introduced, Including One For a Public Park in the District. The Senate. The credentials of Mesérs. Pierce and Casey as Senators from the new state of North Dakota were presented, read and placed on file, and then the two Senators, escorted by Messrs, Cullom and Washburn, advanced to the desk and took the oath of office, CLASSIFICATION OF THE NEW SENATORS. Mr. Hoar,from the committee on privileges and elections, reported back the resolution offered by him on Monday providing a mode for ascer- taining by lot the classes to which the Senators from the three new states, North Dakota, South Dakota and Washington, shall be assigned (a8 to their respective terms of service). Mr. Cullum thereupon presented certificates from the two houses of the North Dakota legis- lature designating Mr, Pierce as the Senator for the long term. THE LEGISLATURE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. Mr. Hoar remarked that that action had been taken by the two houses of North Dakota after the election of the two Senators, and he inti- mated that, under the Constitution, the legis- lature had nothing todo with the matter, which was expressly devolved on the Senate. Mr. Gorman remarked that identically the same case had been presented in regard to the first Senator from Minnesota, when the legis- lature designated Mr. Rice as the Senator for the long term, and when the Senate decidédd that that action could not be regarded by it. Mr. Edmunds—That is the way it was. = Mr. Cullom explained that he thought it roper that the action of the two houses of North Dakota should be placed on the records of the Senate as an expression of their desire in the matter. i Mr, Call argued in favor of the right of the legislature in the matter. THE DRAWING BY LOT, The resolution was agreed to, and then the drawing by lot (as provided by it) was pro- ceeded with. The result of it was that of the two Senators from the state of Washington Mr, Squire was assigned to the class of Senators whose term expires March 3, 1891, and Mr, Allen to the class expiring March, 1893; of the South Dakota Senutors Mr. Moody's term expires March 3, 1891. and Mr, Pettigrew’s March 3, 1895, and of the North Dakota Senators Mr, Pierce's term expires March 3, 1891, and Mr. Casey's March 8, 1893, VARIOUS MATTERS.

What the London Papers Think of the President‘s Message. THE DAY'S BUDGET OF WIRE NEWS. a COMPROMISE IN MONTANA. Possibility of Electing One Republican and One Democratic Senator. Hexexa, Mont., Dec. 4.—Both parties are getting tired of the long dead-lock and there was general talk last night of a compromise, each party selecting one Senator. One combi- nation suggested is W. A. Clark and W. F. Sanders, another B. Platt Carpenter and Martin Maginnis, The friends of Col. Sanders are openly urging this ticket since the Hershfield and Power men united on Carpenter. The ma- jority of the democrats. however, are not favorable to Clark. Many of them are for Maginnis, but if a compromise is arranged they will be more likely to select Hauser. The republican senators yesterday morning notified the democratic senators that they would like to have a conference, looking to the breaking of the dead-lock. Yesterday after- noon the democratic senators held a caucus and decided to adhere to their policy of re- maining away from the senate chamber until the Silver Bow case is settled. They then agreed to appoint a committee and mect one selected by the republicans, the two to jointly investigate the tuinel precinct case. eee ACROSS THE DEEP. What the London Folks Think of the Message—Other Foreign Notes. Loxpon, Dec. 4.—The Times, commenting on President Harrison's message, welcomes the extradition proposal and expresses surprise that the western states do not revolt against the heavy exactions of taxation imposed for the benetit of the cotton and iron workers of the Atlantic states. President Harrison prob- ably had this in mind when he suggested that the protective principle should be applied to farm products, The Standard thinks that tariff reform may mean something real a couple of years hence, Halt the present expenditure is mere extrava- gance that cun be dispensed with when the peo- ple decide to crush tie spirit of Tammany hall in Washington as they ecotched it in New York.

The i- dent's civil service reform views do him credit and his recommendations concerning river and harbor improvements are good.” The Tribune, while finding much to commend in the President's message, confesses its disap- pointment that the President advocates the re- peal of the internal revenue tax on tobacco. The Tribune does not believe that the revenue released by the government would benefit in any appreciable degree any one but the middle men in the tobacco trade and urges that the to- bacco tax be continued as a fund to pay pen- sions. “If the dependent pension bill is put into operation any revenues that are still found in excess of the wants of the Treasury relief can be had by cheapent sugar to consumers and cutting the bounty of the Havemeyer trast down by one-half. That, Mr. President, is the thing to do, but by no means repeal the tax on tobacco, Let that and the tax on liquors stand.” ‘The Jnter-Ocean says: “President Harrison's © is, first, an exhaustive report of the state of the Union in ail its domestic and for- | eign affairs, und, secondly, a vigorous recom- mendation of certain measures which the re- publican party advocated in its platform and which the American people appr: by the election of a republican President.” ees VESSELS IN A GALE.

EXPENDITURES POR PENSIONS, The Sceretary says: A comparison of the expenditures of 1879 with those of 1889 will show that during the last ten years the increase of pensions has not differed very widely from the decrease of in- terest on the public debt: Pensions in 1879 Pensions in 1589 Interest on public debt, 1879... Interest on public debt, 1859... No patriotic American bas ever eomplained of the vast amounts of interest paid to the men who loaned their money to preserve the in- tegrity of the nation; much less will they com- plain of any just and proper recognition of the claims of men who, in the nation's hour of ex= treme peril, sacrificed their lives and health te “Un ae the sinking fund ruary, Juder the sin! and act of Feb: 1862, there have ulrcady been redocmed tae fiscal year fractional eurreuc: asury notes and bonds of the United states which had ceased to bear interest, amounting to $11,310, in addition to the purchase of o1 750 of the funded loan of 1591 and $27,695,600 of the funded loan of 1907. at a cost to the fand for premium of $7,556,058.37 on the former and 710,666.79 on the latter loan. BIG RECEIPTS. The total receipts of the last fiscal year have been exceeded but six times in the history of the government, The ordinary expenditures of the fiscal year ended June 30. 1889, exclu- | sive of premium on bonds, were also greater than in amy other year, except during the war | aes and the years which bore ite cost most eavily, being $42,542.696.93 greater than for the fiscal year 1985.

Notwithstanding the dimin- ished supply of bonds for sale in the markets the government has been abie to obtain at con- startly decreasing prices a sufficient amount of bonds to meet the requirements of the sinking fund for the current fiscal year and carry out the provisions of law respecting the investment of the surplus revenue, While it was neces gary to pay 108 for 4' per cent bonds of 189% purchased March 5, 1859, with a net premium of 7.97, they were offered and accepted October 31 at 105%, the net premium being 4.99, a de~ crease in actual premium of nearly 3 per cent, During the same Deageer or from ‘April 6 ¢ to Oo- tober 31, 1889, the price of 4 per cent bonds was reduced from 129 to 127 and the net premium from 28.93 to 26.66, a reduction im actual premium of over 2}¢ per cent, SURPLUS REVENUE. “It appears, from the foregoing estimates,” says the Secretary, “that after due provision shall have been made for meeting the ordinary ex] of the government, including the re= quirements of the sinking fund. there will re~ main, under the operation of existing laws, an annual surplus of revenue of about $44,000,000." ‘The first thing that occ: the Sceretary's muking @ statement of the re= ceipts and expenditures, actual and estimated, showing an aunual surplus of $44,000,000, is the subject of this accumulation o! plus and the discussion of a means of reducing it. “An accumulation of money in the Treasury beyond the necessities of the government,” he says, “endangers legitimate business, tends to excessive and wastetul public expenditure and In the presence of such conditions it is a mani- fest duty to wisely againsta future need~ less with ats fruitful train of evils. used to enlarge our foreign markets, and thereby advance our commercial and produc. tive interests, it is the part of wisdom to so it, The ing of our coast pk A up of our Reccner jects of national concern, offer further See eee ee money directly people. it, after _ sao dayne po for such expenditures as may proper and reasonable for these purposes. ‘operation of existing laws, Reduction the interest-bearing debt of the pec nataomt by the _ of bonds is Se expoinns co- sorted returning to the Secretary of the Treasury for money.
