(From a Staft Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Dec (Speclal | gram.)—Senator Allison, who in many | spects is the best cquipped of the many sirong men in public life today to speak of a president's message, said of the one which was read today: “I like the mes- | sage because of its conservatism. It leaves | to congress the things which belong to con- gress. It is well written and shows a broad and comprehensive knowledge upon many subjects. There are a number of tersely put phrases which will be used in public | prints for some time to come. Ot course, | while I think the president’s utterances as 10 trusts are most timely, yet 1 know what diversities of opinion prevail in the senate over the trust question. Should the house {pass an anti-trust bill or any amendment to the bill of 1890 early in the session, 1 am of the opinion that the senate would { take the matter up and probably enact some legislation. Should the house, however, fall to reach any conclusion untll after the hol- idays, I doubt very much if any legislation could be enacted at this session because there are almost as many views in the sen- ate regarding the trust question as there are senators, and it would mean a good deal of speech-making. The message meets with my hearty approval. I bel country will regard It as a timely utterance and will look to congress to fully meet the responsibilities which it places upon the national legislators.” This s the concensus of opinion among republican leaders in congress. There is, however, a deep seated feeling that con- gress will fail to meet the president's ieve | wishes as to some of the subjects recom- mended for correction at this session owing (o tne widely divergent views held by re- publican leaders. “I look for little legislation this session" was Senator Allison’s laconic answer to a question. Presents Lincoln Plan. today presented proposition of the city of Lincoln to buy the present federal building in that cit Mr. Burkett, realizing the responsi- bility that is placed upon him, today pre- sented the ordinance to the secretary of the treasury and asked to be advised if new legislation would be necessary to bring about the proposition contained in the city ordinance, or whether the sale of the prop- erty could be consummated without lation. Realizing the shortness of the ses- sion, Mr. Burkett has already seen several members of the public bulldings and grounds comittee and has fnterested them | in the project. The serious difficulty to the enactment of any legislation of this char- acter lies in the fact that should a bill of Representative Burkett the To determine the strength of the opposing | squadrons the department has given a ba tleship the value of 20 points, a heavily | protected cruiser 8 points, a smaller pro- tected cruiser 5 points, a gunboat 3 points and a torpedo boat or tender 1 It 1s estimated that Admiral Higginson has 126 points and Admiral Sumner 66 points. | It is believed that Admiral Higginson has | arranged with the United States consuls| 1 weather observers in the West Indies the appearance of Admiral Sum- | vessels The squadron s constantly engaged in target practice, in order to make a record off Culbera Island Towa will have finished coaling tomorrow | and then the squadron will be ready to sall | STRIKERS WILL WORK FREE | French Seamen sengers to Algeria Without Wa, to report ner's “offer te Carry Pas- MARSEILLES, Dec. 2.—The only change In the strike situation has been for the worse, though mo outbreak has occurred. !

Rural Routes in First. today that the present Congressman Burkett stated he had secured an order from the superin- | tendent of the rural free delivery order- ing Inspector Llewellyn into the First dis- trict for the purpose of establishing a number of rural free delivery routes which have been inspected and reported on favor- ably. He stated that in all probability a special deficiency appropriation bill would be passed in the next few days for rural free delivery service to cover the pay of carriers on new routes ordered, the gen- eral appropriation for that purpose having been exhausted. Congressman Burkett today made the following recommendations for posimas- ters in the First district Fred L. Ames, Smartville, Neb., vice John Riffle; L. C. Schnell, Preston, Neb, vice Willlam Rieger. Hinshaw is Busy. Congressman-elect Hinsbaw of the Fourth district has been putting in a num-| ber of busy days since he has been in Wash ington. Mr. Hinshaw is evidently a b liever in doing things or trying to do things and paigning for his constituents, even though he does not become a full-fledged member until after March 4. Today he called upon the postmaster general in relation to the postmaster at Fairbury, his home town. It is understood that Senator Dietrich will recommend a man for the place who is the personal choice of D. E. Thompson, tbe senator having pledged this place to Mr Thompson more than a year and a half ago. Mr. Hinshaw, on the other hand, b lieves that he has the right of making the | postmaster in his own home town and will, when the time comes, recommend the man whom he says is the personal choice of nine-tenths of the business men and r publicans of the city of Fairbury. There is no feeling between Senator Dietrich and Mr. Hinshaw over the matter, and it Is be- lieved that the whole question will be amicably adjusted before the time comes (o act Mr. Hinshaw called today upon the fourth assistant postmaster general to as ertain why the commission reappointing Thomas A. Healy as postmaster at Mil- ford, Neb., had not been received, Senmator Dietrich having recommended his appoint- ment some time ago.

Such a nation, so placed, will surely wrest success from fortune. As a people we have played a large part in the world, and we are bent upon making our future even larger than the past. In particular, the events of the last four years have definitely decided that, for woe or for weal, our place must be great amoug the nations. We may elther fail greatly or succeed greatly; but we cannot avold the endeavor from which either great fail- ure or great success must come. Even it we would. we cannot play a small part.

Oure is not the creed of the weakling and the coward; ours is the gospel of hope and of triumphant endeavor. We do not shrink from the struggle befors us. There are many problems for us to face at the outset of the twentieth century —grave problems abroad and still graver at home; but we know that we can solve them and solve them well, provided only that we bring to the solution the qualities of head and heart, which Were shown by the men who, in the days of Washington, founded this government, and, in the days of Lincoln, preserved it. in possible, two a we Whence Prosperity Spri No country has ever occupied a higher plane of material well-being than ours at the present moment. This well-being is | due to no sudden or accidental causes, but | to the play of the economic forces in this country for over a centary; to our laws, our sustained and continuous policies above all, to the high individual average of our citizenship.

Never before has material well-being been so widely dif- fused among our people.

The evils are real and some of them are menacing, | but they are the outgrowth, not of misery or deecadence, but of prosperity—eof the progress of our glgantic industrial develop- ment This industrial development must not checked, but side by side with it should go such progressive regulation as will diminish the ovils.
