Mr. Blaine Expected to Write a Letter De- lining to Be a Presidential Candidate. THIS TO FOLLOW THE NOMINATION OF STEPHEN B. ELKINS TO BE SECRETARY OF WAR—THE PROGRAM SAID TO HAVE BEEN AGREED UPON AFTER A CONFERENCE YESTERDAY. ‘There seems to be an extraordinary and never- ceasing desire among republican legislators at the Capitol to know something of the presi- dential mind in connection with the looked-for appointment of Secretary of War. More of a favorite than any of the possibilities mentioned is ex-Gov. Cheney of New Hampshire. The movement in his favor is a strong one, but the persistent effort of its supporters has as yet failed to secure from the President anything that looks like the shadow of a promise. A few of thore states- men whoare credited with knowing something about the interior mechanism of the ad- ministration seem to be satisfied today that “the logie of the situation"—whatever that is—points to Stephen B. Elkins.

The House Takes an Adjournment Until Saturday. SENATE. Immediately after the reading of the journal Mr. Sherman, from the joint coramittee to wait on the President of the United States and in- form him that Congress was ready to receive any communication he might choose to make, reported that the committee had performed that duty and had been informed that the President would send a communication in writing. THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. Ten minutes afterward the annual message of the President was presented by Mr. Pruden, one of his secretaries, was laid befure the Sen- ate and was read by Mr. M2Cook, its secretary. The reading of the message closed at 1:45, having consumed exactly an hour and a haif. It was listened to throughout with close inter- est and attention by Seuators and by a small audience in the galleries, comprising five gen- temen who occupied seats iu the diplomatic gallery and who feft as soon as the mensage be- Gan to treat of exclusively domestic matters. The message was ordered to be iid on the table and printed, and the Senate adjourned till tomorrow. HOUSE. After the approval of the journal of yester- day's proceedings the committee appointed to wait upon the President, through its chair- man, Mr. Blount (Ga), informed the Speaker that it had performed the duty imposed upon it and that the President would send a com- munication in writing this morning. A recess was taken for fifteen minutes. THE MESSAGE IN THE HOUSE. After the recess Doorkeeper Turner per- formed hus first public duty in his new field of labor by announcing the presence of Mr. Pruden, one of the President's secretaries. Mr. Pruden’ delivered the annual message of tho President, which was immediately read by the clerk. The reading of the annual message in the House never receives much attention and the last one proved no exception to the general rule. Many of the members left the bail and those who remained attended to their correspondence or engaged in merry and at times hilarious conversation. The only men who showed any interest were Messrs. Herbert of Alabama, Miller of Wisconsin aud Otis and Simpson gf Kansas. On the comple- tion of the reading the message was, on motion of Mr. Outhwaite of Ohio, reierred to the com- mittee of the whole and ordered printed. A RESOLUTION AS TO COMMITTERS. Mr. Miller of Wisconsin offered # resolution requesting the Speaker, in appointing the committees, to apportion the same among the several states and territories according to pop- ulation, and to appoint at least one chairman from each state and territory. Mr. Milliken (Me.) sarcastically expressed the hope that the Speake: would not be em- barrassed by any new rules. ‘On motion of Mr. Holmaa the resolution was referred to the committee on rules when ap- pointed. On motion of Mr. Holman the House then adjourned until Saturday, with the understand- ing that a further adjournment should be then taken until Wednesday. CAPITOL TOPICS, The New Men to Go on the Seuate District Committee. A week or more will probably elapse before the republican caucus committee of the Senate announces the committee assignments, but those people who are interested in the makeup of the Senate commitice on the District of Columbia need not wait until the final report is made. A goodly number of Senators have endeavored, and some of them are still endeavoring, to secure a place on the District committee, but only three can be gratified. Who these three fortunate ones is practically settled today. They are Senators Plumb of Kansas, Wolcott of Colorado and Gallinger of New Hampshire. These will fll the vacanics created by the retirement of Ingalis, Spooner and Farwell. The committee as reorganized will be as tol- lows: Senator McMillan of Michigan, chairman; Senator Higgins of Delaware, Senstor Plumb of Kansas, Senator Wolcott of Colorado, Sen- ator Gallinger of New Hampshire, Senator Har- ris of Tennessee, Senator Vance of North Caro- lina, Senator Faulkner of West Virginia and Senator Barbour of Virginia. TWO SPECIAL MESSAGES EXPECTED. Two special executive messages are looked for at the Capitol during this week. One of these will be devoted exclusively to the world’s fair; the other will discuss interna- tional relations with Chile. The world’s fair message is expected to be a lengthy document, in which detaiis as to the great exposition will be dealt with. SENATE COMMITTEES. The republican senatorial caucus committee was at work this forenoon endeavoring to ar- range the committee membership. Fair rogress was madé, and while the work was ay completed aoe feel confident that they will be able to make a report satis- factory to nearly all the republican Senators. WHY REPRESENTATIVE HOAR DID NOT VOTE. Mr. Sherman Hoar of Massachusetts when asked why he did not vote for Speaker on the roll call yesterday said: “Last fall in an inter- view which I had during our campaign in Massachusetts I stated that in the coming con- test for the ship I would vote ‘for no candidate i fused to todo, nemely, use his influ- ence as against the consideration of measures to the extension of the coin- age of silver. I feel sure that such will be his action, but as I not get bis promise he could not get my vote.” A DIGEST OF ZLECTION CASES.

UNITED STATES. CHILE AND THE How the Negotiations Over the Bal- timore Incident Stand. FREE COINAGE DISCUSSED. The Tariff and the Industrial Con- dition of the Country. THE NATIONAL ELECTIONS, The President Suggests a Commission to Devise a Uniform System, OTHER MATTERS CONSIDERED To the Senate and House of Representatives: The reports of the heads of the several Ex- ecutive Departments, required by law to be submitted to me, which are herewith transmit- ted, and the reports of the Secretary of the Treasury and the Attorney-General, made di- Fectly to Congress, furnish « comprehensive view of the administrative work of the last fiscal year relating to internal aflairs. It would be of great advantage if these reports coud. have an attentive perusal by every member of Congress and by all who take an interest in public affairs, Such a perusal could not fail to excite # higher appreciation of the vast labor and conscientious effort which are given to the conduet of our civil administration. ‘The reports will, I believe, show that every uestion has been approached, considered, and decided from the standpoint of public duty and | upon considerations affecting the public in- terests alone. Again I invite to every branch of the service the attention and scrutiny of Congress. ‘Our Foreign Relations. The work of the State Department during the last year has been characterized by an unusual number of important negotiations and by diplomatic results of a notable and, highly beneficial character. Among these are the reciprocal trade arrangements which have been conciuded, in the exercise of the powers conferred by section 3 of the tariff law, with the Republic of Brazil, with Spain for ite | West India possessions, and with San Domingo. Like negotiations with other countries have been much advanced, and it is hoped that be- fore the close of the year further definitive trade arrangements of great value will be con- cluded. THE BERING SEA CASE. In view of the reports which bad been re- ceived as to the diminution of the seal herds im the Bering Sea I deemed it wine to propose to Her Majesty's Government in February Inst that an agreement for a closed season should be made, pending the negotiations for arbitra- tion which then seemed to be approaching « favorable conclusion. After nbs ence, and delays for which this Government Was not responsivle, an agreement was reached, and signed on the 10th of June, by which Groat ‘Britain undertook, trom. that date and until May 1, 1892, to prohibit the killing by ber subjects of "seals in’ the Bering Sen,sua the Government of the United States, during the same period, to enforce ite existing tion against’ pelagic sealing and to limit the catch by the Fur Seal C would have been more effective; but, coming even as late as it did, it unquestionably re- sulted in greatly diminishing the destruction of the seals by the Canadian sealers, In tay last aunual mesmge I stated that the Dasis of arbitration proposed by Her Majesty's Government for the adjustment of the long- pending controversy as to the seal Was not acceptable. Iam glad now to to announce that terms satisfactory to Government have been agreed upon au agreoment as to the arbitrators ts all necessary to the compietion of the convention. Jn View Of the advauced position which Government has taken upon the subject of ternational arbitration, this renewed expression of our adherence to this method for the settle- ment of disputes such as have arisen in the Bering Sea wall, 1 doubt not, meet with the con- currence of Congress. Provision should be made for a joint demare- ation of the froutier line between Canada and the United States, wherever required by increasing border settiements, and especially for the exact location of the water boundary in the straits and rivers. I should Lave been glad to announce some favorabie disposition of the boundary 10 between Great Britaiu and Venezuela, the western frontier of British Guiana, but the friendly efforts of the United States in that di- rection have thus far been unavailing. This Gov- ernment will continue to express its concerm 5 Fi * disputed boundary is easily attainable by amicable arbitration, where the rights of the respective parties rest, as bere, on historie facts, readily ascertainable. REMOVAL OF DISCKIMINATIONS. ‘The law of the last Congress providing « sve- tem of inspection for our meuts intended for export and clothing the President with power to exclude foreign products from our market im case the country sending them should per- petuate Unjust discriminations against any product of the United States, placed this ernment in & position removal of such discriminations meats.
