It is not expected at the White House that the Senate will be in session long. CRITICIZE INAUGURAL SPEECH. Varied Comment of French and Ger- man Newspapers. PARIS, March 6.—La Gaulols, deallng with President McKinley's inaugural ad- dress, says: “Daily it becorhes more plain that President McKinley tends at the | present time to repudiate the policy of ex- pansion and imperialism and to return to the moderation which accords better with his temperament and ideas.” BERLIN, March 5.—President McKin- ley’s inaugural address has not yet been eommented upon by a section of the Ger- man press. The National Zeitung, how- ever, says: “The mere fact that the Pres- ident mentioned reciprocity treaties proves that there exists a strong liberal current.” The Berliner Tageblatt says: ‘*Accent- uating reciprocity is a clear hint that the United States will strive to enlarge their foreign market, but will sooner relinquish new commercial treatles if full reciprocity is not granted. This will hardly meet the approval of our Agrarians, who think the United States will never dare undertake a tariff war.” The Tageblatt disapproves the passage in the addfess dealing With China, Cuba and the Philippines. The Lokal Anzeiger describes the United States ‘‘as threatening economic and po- litical dangers for old Europe,” and then, referring to the address, says: ‘‘President McKinley has disappointed the world. The China and tariff passages of the ad- dress are general phrases and the Cuba and Philipplnes passages are optimistic and self-deluding.” The Vossische Zeitung says: “We see traces that the United States will not fol- low high protectionism hereafter, as it will no longer be possible when the United States have become emphatically an ex- porting industrial country; but President McKinley will hold all the United States have recently acquired by imperiallsm."” s £ DISPLAY OF FIREWORKS. Brilliant Illumination Continues for More Than an Hour. ‘WASHINGTON, March 5.—The inaugu- ral display of fireworks, postponed from last night on account of the inclement weather, took place to-night. The dis- play was made from the grounds sur- rounding the Washington Monument and was one of the finest pyrotechnic fea- tures ever attempted in the capital city. The tail and imposing shaft of the Wash- | ington Monument formed a fitting back- | ground for the brilllant {llumination | caused by the explosion of rockets, bombs, cascades and fountains and bat- teries of jeweled mines, which continued for an hour or more. The programme included lance fire portraits of President McKinley and Viee President Roosevelt. P oA ia AN INSPECTION OF HARBORS. Members of Congress to Visit the Gulf and Coast Ports. WASHINGTON, March 5.—The House Committee on Rivers and Harbors to-day arranged the detalls of two trips of in- spection which they will make. The first will be to Havana. The members will | leave to-morrow evening. In June they will make a trip to the Pacific Coast, go- ing' first to Galvestcn and other gulf ports, then on to Los Angeles and north- ward, visiting all (he harbors as far north as Puget Sound. The committee has no officlal existence and the members go as private individ- vals. All, however, are members of the House and doubtless will be on the com- mittee in the next Congress. Some of the members of the Military Committee have | decided to visit Cuba and Porto Rico to inquire into conditions there and will leave In a few days. The members of the | Naval Committee of the House, it is un-| derstood, also have a similar trip under | contemplation. Although the.btll to cre- ate a speclal committee of the Insular i | neea of the first-hand information is Im- perative. No definite decision, however, has been reached. INSURGENTS ATTACK FORCE OF AMERICANS Three Members of the Signal Corps Killed and Two Macabebe Scouts Wounded by Fierce Filipinos. MANILA, March 5.—A wagon train and a detachment of the signal corps, together with six Macabbee scouts, were attacked by thé insurgents about midway between the town of Siland and Das Marinas, in Cavite. Three Americans were killed and two of the Macabebe scouts were wound- | ed, while one man is missing. Four horses and one mule were killed. Captain Malr, with detachments of infantry and cavalry from Silang, arrived at the scene of the surprise too late to intercept the enemy’s retreat. WASHINGTON, March 5.—The port Legan safled from Manila on the 1st with Generals Young and Hare, 25 officers and 769 men of the Thirty-third Volunteer Infantry and 21 officers and 755 enlisted men of the Thirty-fourth Volunteer In- fantry.

ST. PAUL, Minn.,, March 5.—The Dis- patch says: J. J. Hill is said to have a plan regarding the elopment of the iron and steel trust which the latter con- cern hardly figured on and the proposed increase in the Great Northern capital stock of $25,000,000 is said to have some- thing to do with Mr. Hiil's scheme. The trust is said to have left one por- tion of its far-reaching plans rather care- lessly guarded and it Js through this en- trance that Hill is expected to slide in. It was a Guestion of riw material for fu- ture use. An officlal declares that Hill has latel secured options on an immense tract of mineral land in Northern Minnesota. It is also said in the ethereal world from which all these “straight tips” come that Hill intends to build an Immense smeiter on the iron range and ship his own mig iron East, instead of {ron ore, in his own boats.

ADVANCEMENT ‘ FOR ADMIRALS NOT POSSIBLE The Only Reward That Congress Can @ive Sampson and Schley Will | Come After Their Re- tirement. Spectal Dispatch to The Cail CALL BUREAU, 4% G STREET, N, W., WASHINGTON, March 5.—Recogniz- ing the impossibility of obtaining action by the Sendte, the President will nat re- transmit to that body the nominations of Rear Admiral Sampson and Rear Ad- | miral Schiey for advancement on account of services during the war with Spain. As Rear Admiral Schley will retire on October 9 next, and Rear Admiral Samp- son <hree months later, It is evident that the only reward that can be given these officers in future is for Congress to au- thorize the President to appoint them vice admirals on the retired list.
