fe.amembled to-day under circumstances of nnushal public interest.The same Congress aix months ago declared war against Spain, snd now, with thie wat fought and won, it came together again for legislative ques tions brought on by the eventfal months just passed.THe spirit of the occasion was not, however, one of immediate expectancy; for the few months left to the existence of the fifty-fifth Congress gave promise of little more than a beginning of the momentous policy and problems wing out of the war.As usual all Washington turned its attention to the Capitol for , that event which marks the opening day of a session, Exactly at noon Speaker Reed's gavel came down with a sharp crack, the great ebony mace, entwined with silver and surmounted by a silver eagle, was lifted into place upon its green marble pedestal, the spreading folds of the American flag were broken to the breexe above the brilliant stained glass ceiling and the House of Representatives entered upon the closing session of the memorable war Congress.The scene within the ball was animated, brilliant and pictaresqne.The sea of esks within the brass rails which cut off the lobbies, spreading in semi-circular lines from (he Speakers rostrum lke waves from à centre, were a veritable flower garden.The house seemed to feel that this was to be an epoch-msking session and for hours before Congress, met, a steady stream of people came from the corridors in the jes.Even the private eries were crowded an hour before the hour for convening.'he members began arriving shortly after 11 o'clock and the hall was soon a buzz, as they exchanged congratulations or made condolence.Un the Senate floor the scene presented was unusually brilliant.The desks of the members were loaded with magnificent specimens of the florist's art.Above in the diplomatic gallery, just before the Senate convened, appeared Sir Julisn Pauncefote, the British Ambassador, and his ; Wu Ting Pang, the Chinese Minister, and the attaches of his Legation, and some other members of the Diplomatic Corp.On the floor Lord Herschell, the chief representative of Great Britain on the Joint High Commission, came, accompanied by Mr.T.Johnson Coolidge, of Massachusetts.PRESIDENT WILLIAM MCKINLEY'S MESSAGE, _ The President's Message was awaited with considerable interest because of the important departure in former American policy inaugurated by the expansion movement and the stirring events of the last few months.The International High Com: mission, sitting at Washington, and the International Peace Commission, sitting in Paris, also added to the impatience with which the Message was anticipated by those not in the secrets of the Administration.As usual, the Message is an extremely lengthy document.The summary which follows covers its more salient points :\u2014 There is no Imperialism in the President's Message.On the question of the future destiny of the Philippines he is silent On that of Cuba he is outspoken for \u201cCuba libre\u201d for the Cubans.The Message reviews the history of the late war to a somewhat tiresome length, telling bow it was undertaken for the sake of humanity and insisting that the open rupture was forced by Spain.Stress is naturally laid upon the facts that the country\u2019s \u201cpreparstions for war were made with extraordinary despatch and unanimity, and hat the war itself was conducted with unheard of freedom from losses.The President justly states that the army and navy both acted with the greatest gallantry, and yemsrks, at the end of his history of the peace negotiations, that the peace negutiations are practically complete.Further reference to the new possessions is deferred until the peace treaty is signed.The President remarks that the Cubans must have an opportunity to form a Government for themselves, and says that an international agreement for uniform cable tolls is needed.We shall probably soon, he says, reach an understanding with Hungary and Austria, with Hungary regardiug the shooting of the miners at Latimer, Ps.He urges that Congress should act at once for the completion of the Nica Canal, and recommends that the Chilian Claim Commission's work should be extended.The open door in China is referred to by Mr.McKinley as likely to help American trade, but he adds that a Commission to study commercial and industrial conditions in China is needed.Con, is told that the United States will be handsomely represented at the Paris Exposition and that a $1,000,000 appropriation is needed for that parpoe.Efforts are progressing, says the President, to have France and Germany relax their prohibitions of our fruit products.ANGLO-AMERICAN RELATIONS SATISFACTORY.Relations with Great Britain are most friendly.The kindly offices of that great nation during the war are ized by the President and he declares that they are by the nation too.The negotiations of the Joint High Commission appointed to consider matters affecting the interest of both the United States and Canada sare tending to a favorable conclusion.In dwelling upon the admirable character of the Red Croes work.the President states that it should be extended to ses duty by all nations.Reference is made to the Hawaiian Commission's report, which should, says the President, be most carefully considered.He speaks of provision being needed for aiding destitute seamen in Hawaii, ard veports that the new Mexican Extradition Convention is progressizg.The Message declares that our extradition statutes need amending and that a conference regarding the Mexican free zone is necessary.The United States, says Mr.McKinley, cordially sym- i with the Czars disarmament recommendation.He reports that our Envoy to Turkey is charged to demand settlement of our indemnity claims, and that the Venezuelan boundary arbitration has been a success.The Bureau of American Republics is doing good work, but a permanent universal law is needed against privateering.His Excellency makes the recommendation that United States notes redeem d in gold shall be paid out only in exchange for gold renewed, and declares that sound currency legislation is still greatly needed.D.mesti: paper currency must be kept safe yet m proportion to the needs of our couutry.He points out that a complete plan for a merchant vessel picket service is needed.An expert yellow fever investigation comunission is declared to be necessary, and Congress is told that a p:rmanent increase in the army should be made.Fore closure proceedings against the Union Pacific and Kansas Pacific Railways have proved successful.The President recommends that steamship lines to our colonies should be subsidized and says that a new building is needed for the Supreme Court.The country\u2019s postal service is advancing most satisfactorily as shown by tests of the Spanish war.MORE BATTLESHIPS TO BE BUILT.Secretary Long\u2019s call for three new battleships and twelve armored cruisers is heartily approved, and the recommendation is made that the grades of Admiral and Vice-Admiral should be revived.Foreetry legislation is said to show good results, and it is urged that the centennial of the anniversary of the founding of the City of Washington should be appropriately observed.The alien contract law is shown by experience to need some amendment.A measure providing better protection for seamen is pro and the rightfal application of the eight hour law for the benefit of labor and of the principle of arbitration, are for consideration.[osEDA cLATus NOW 10 BE ALMOST HD Heis Spanish Secretary of the Peace Commission.AMERICANS REPOR® J00D PROGRESS Spanish Criminal Courts so Far Resopnized in Cuba by the Ame: riean Comnilesioners.Paris, Dec.5\u2014The Joint Commission was in session for over four hours to-day.Much of the discussion \u2018was concerning details as to the guaranteemg of the rights of Spanish citizens in the ceded Colonics.The debate was occasionally energetic, and the Spaniards, on emerging, appeared to ba dejected.Secretary Ojeds of the Spanich Commission, when questioned after the meeting as to the progress made, answered exciredly : *'[ am almost mad.I cannot talk.We are making some progress.\u201d The American Commissioners declined to say anything further than that the progress made was satisfactory.The Spanish Commissioners have received authority to bind their Government on certain matters, but there are yet important questions on which their instructions are unsatisfactory, and itis likely that many of the details involved in the change of sovereignty in Spanish ions will be left for settlement by regular dipluma- tic processes when relations between the two Governments are resumed.SPANISH LAW IN CUBA.Havana, Dec.5\u2014With the understanding that Campbell, a negro, arrested yesterday on the charge of being connected with the shootiog of two Spanish soldiers, belonged to the United States army, the Secretary of the Spanish Evacuation Commission went to the American Commissioners aud offered to place the prisoner at the disposal of the Americans.The latter, however, refused to take charge of Campbell and said he should to await his trial.The distribution of Red Cross relief supplie was begun at Guanaiays to-day.A committee of municipal guards this morning waited on the Clvil Governor and tequested that he use his influence to obtain for them at least a pottion of theif overdue salaries, The Governor i Seutiago de Cuba, Doc.5\u2014 Mr.Robert F.Porter, the Special Commissisner of the United States to Cuba and Porto Rico, returned here yesterday frum his inspection of the mines.He gave a farewell luucheun at the Venus

prisonets in the hands of the Filipinos.To-day Senor Montero Rios proposed that the United States should pay the expense of shipping them to Spain, arguing with his customary ingenuity that this was a duty of the Americans as a matter of course.The American Commissioners thought the request unreasonable and a deal of time was consum indiscussingthequestion.Anotherproblem entailing & Jong debate was

should be per- mutted.to ship puch munitions home.e Americans replied that as the United States had conquered the Philippines these munitions were poils of war.The-Spanisrds nally waived their quibble.They appear resigned to the inevitable and now seem to realize that their best policy is to save as much of the wrock as their keenness in raising technicalities can secure for them.The question of the status of Spaniards in the West Indies and Philippines who wish to remain there was nearly settled, as well as certain commercial questions involving the rights of prippine under the Spanish flag which will be allowed certain advantages.Havana, Dec.5\u20141he Spanish Evacustion Commissioners notified the United States Commissioners to-day that the evacuation of the Province of

wil i certify the passing of the oldest Cul-mual | Power in the world and the advent of the newest, was epitomized by Judge Day this eveuing in a single sentence\u2014''A pesce treaty can contain anything which the victors put into it.\u2019 The Americans had listened for hours with their custom- wo patience to the technicalities oonvok- by the Spaniards with their customary shrewduess aud persistence against every roposal making for the dismember- Pent of their Empire.Darkness had come on and the livericd attend- sots mobilized by the French authorities had placed a tiny ap at the elbow of sch Commissioner.nator Frye, whose uaconcealed contempt for diplomatic quib- blings excites the astonishment of the pus ctillious Castillians had stalked home, is patience exhausted.The burden of the Spanish argument was that matters outside the bare cession and the evacution of the conquered territory, which the Americans proposed to cover by the treaty, were beyond the legitimate and customary scope ofa © treaty.Behind this bulwark Senor Montero Rios, President of the Spanish Comnmission, fortified himself, bumbarding his opponenents with a supply of arguments and precedents which inspired the freely ex admiration of the Americans.Finally Judge Day summarized the American positivn in the foregoing memorable utterance.It was given and taken in good spirit, and from that moment the proceedings were entirely friendly.Tha session accomplished much.Eight open questions were eau seven being practically settled without noteworthy friction.The Commissioners decline to say what conclusion was reached, but a bargain for a coaling station in the Csrolines was not cemented aad according to the present prospects it is likely to fal.The temper uf the Americaus in this matter is: We inude you a good offer for the Island, you maytake iter Joave it.The Spaniards seem disposed to leave it.The Americaus du not regard it as a price which they can demand as one of the natural fruits of war, while tho whole policy of the Spaniards is to confine the negotiations as narrowly as possible to the letter of the protocol signed ia Washington.SPAIN STILL STRUGGLING.The Spanish

termination of the war, President McKinley begins to cater for the votes of the new citizens whom conquest has added to the Republic.He is for the liberal treatment vf the new colonies, who are to have an opportunity to govern themselves.The significant silence regarding the Philippines shows thit the chief executive officer realizes where the shoe is likely to pinch.In its absence of any boustful Imperialum, and in the frank recognition \"of the friendly and helpful part Great Britain played in the late war, Mr.McKinley shows himself te be s moderate statesman.The reference made to the Joint High Commission now sitting at Washington is brief, but must be satisfactory to Canadians, inasmuch ns the President reports that it is tending to a favorable conclusion.Even the Toronto Globe has up till lately been inclined to throw cold water on the project of a favorable outcome of the negotiations, but what the President of the United States may regard as satisfactory may appear in a different light to Canadians.The friendly feeling towards Great Britain crops out in another part of the Message.It is not long since it seemed that England and the Republic were on the verge of war on account of the Venezuelan question.To-day Mr.McKinley announces that the arbitration is a success, which means that it is removing all possibility of friction.A curious contradiction which the Messnze contains, in common with the policy of all the Powers, is that while it profusses sympathy with the Coar\u2019s dissrmament scheme it recommends the construction of three battleships and twelve armored cruisers.The Message is, however, pacific in tone, with an entire absence of Jingoism, which may be attributed largely, no doubt, to the added responsibilities of the Republic among the great family of nations.WINTER NAVIGATION.The English papers announce that the fast screw steamer Gaspesia (4,000 tons) will sait frem Liverpool, via Milford to Paspebiac, Baie des Chaleurs, on Wednesday.The advertisements sunounce that it is tho shortest route to Canads and that through rates will be made to Quebec, Montreal and all interior points.The result of the first trip of the new line will be looked forward to with mach interest, If it can be proved that the winter navigation of the Gulf St.Lawrence is practicable so far as Paspebisc, a great advantage to the St.Lawrence route and to Canada at large will have been achieved.Many people think that the St.Lawrence is navigable in winter for ocean steamers as far as Quebec, and some years agn, when the matter was being discussed in the press, our esteemed fellow citizen, Mr.W.A.Schwartz, Consul General of Sweden and Norway, drew attention to the fact that a regular line of steamers runs all winter across the Baltic frum Stockholm to Helsingfors, where the ice is said to be much worse than in the St.Lawrence.The regular winter service between Quebecand Levis, and the sometimes interrupted service between New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island, under very much greater difficulties than in the open gulf, seem to prove that winter navigation as far ns Paspebiac should be a comparatively easy matter, especially now that Mr.Reid, of the Newfoundland Railway, has demonstrated that he has no difficulty in running a regular steamship service between Cape Breton and the railway terminus on the south coast of Newfoundland.The immense importance of the St.Lawrence route, the vast trade which uses it, and political and national considerations, make the present experiment of the greatest moment to Canads, and it is the duty of the Government to give the attempt every possible sympathy and assistancs.Care should be taken to keep lighthouses and buoys ia operation on the route.Mr.L.N.Armstrong will have deserved well of his country if his plucky experiment succeeds.And if winter navigation is proved to be feasible as far as Paspebiac.the day is not far distant when ocean steamers will run all winter, if not always to Quebec, at least to the fout of the Island of Orleans, where a railway pier might be constructed on either shoreto connect with the Montmorency Railway on one side, or the Intercolonial on the other, according as the prevailing wind might blow the ice on one shore or the other.This question is of vastly greater importance to Carada than the navigation of Hudson Bay upon which the Government have spent so much money.Another }rutsl exhibition is taking place in New York.This time it is a six days\u2019 bicycle race.Compared with such a contest, which strains nen to the uttermost, a bull ight would be a tame and civilized affair.It is difficult to place credence in the charge of the Telegraph that Quebec L:berals are taking bribes from Conservatives to foment disturbances within the party ranks.Such a proceeding would be as discreditable to the Liberals, who seem to be sufficiently divided already, as it would be to the Conservatives.If it is false itis a gross libel on the Liberal perty.NS Pi (Or, Caton\u2019s BB) end esi leds ratiof, A earerer mad SLR FOLTOR, Berton, Mase \u201cLote Someta Chie _ 1 (TIS UNEQUALLED.GIVE IT ATRIAL.PERNTAEYAL PILLS |

Now, itis altogether con rary to cominon-sense that tirms should seek to enter intoa contract to perform certain work without a bona-fide intention to comply with all stipulations.When, therefore, the Canadian authorities state that the tenders received do not comply with the requirements, it must beunderstood that tho stipulations not met are not those specified on the advice of notification, but rather additional restrictions and requirements which the authorities seek to add to the original speci- cations.In other words, duties are to be performed which were not originally sti- pulsted, and the lines concerned very naturally refuse to aiend their tenders at the behest of the Canadian Cabinet.The situation is su unfortunate one, and has perhaps arisen through the conduct of the mail negotiations having been transferred from the Finance Department\u2014 which had formerly been ontrusted with them\u2014to the Canadian Board of Trade and Cummerce.But whatever the cause of the present bungle, it is, especially in the light.of past blunders, exceeding regrettable, and tends to bring Canadian Government methods into discredit.MR.DOBELL'S MISSION.\u201cWe learn too, that Mr.R R.Dobell is en route to England to treat for n \u2018fast service.\u2019 This gentleman was prominently identified with the acheme which has so deplorably failed.It is, however, more than probable that Mr.Dobeil has other eggs in his basket than the already-dis- credited 20-knot service.The tendering lines have, we believe, practically refu point-blank to put any other interpretation upon their tenders than that which they will legitimately bear ; while the Cabinet, we learn, insist upon reading into the conditions of the service stipulations not announced when the tenders wero invited.Thus, Mr.Dobell's mission to England will doubtless take the form of bringing his powers of uasion to bear upon the tendering Eres to induce them to do more than they were originally asked for.As to what success will meet Mr.Dobell it is premature to discuss, but he will find that the lamentable fissco of the Petersen Tate scheme has hardly strengthened the hands of the Canadian Government in England.Even supposing that history was not against the Laurier Cabinet, the subsidising of a line of freight steamers between ester and Canads has alienated the rank and file of shipowners trading to Dominion ports.The service in question isa fortnightly one, and the aubsidy amounts to £8,000 per annum\u2014or, say, something over £300 per round trip.The weekly mail boats to Halifax and St.John, N.B., receive a subsidy of £600 for each round voyage they make.The Manchester boats, of course, carry cargo solely, and there is a feeling prevalent in British and Canadisn shipping circles that the Dominion Government have committed a tactical error in paying alineof cargo boats to carry Cansdian produce to Manchester.Practically, this cargo would, if no boats offered for Manchester, findits way to Liverpool.Thus, the action of the Government, while it does not tend to create new trade, but simply to divert it from one port to another, sims at subsidising Manchester against Liverpool, Avonmouth and Londog.\u2018This, it is point«d out, is likely to lead to freight-cuttiog ; a process which, however favourable it may be to Canadian shippers, cannot in the long run make for the steady and sure development of Caoadian business.As it is, the Canadian Government stand convicted of ineptitude and shuffling over the fast ail service ; ingratitude to the Beaver Lin who played the part of the friend in ne with regard to the St.John service and the mails ; and last, but not least, of either sharp practice or mismanagement over the two years\u2019 mail service to be inaugurated from May next.The extent of this mismanagement is pateut, when it is remembered that the preliminaries of «he bungled contract were practically discussed, if not settled, with the representatives from Eagland of the Allan and Dominion Lines, and that in Canada.This is a sorry ending to all that has been heard of late years of linking Canada with Fnylsod by fast lines of steamers.\u201d Two men, MacDowell, of Owen Sound, and a foreigner named Face, were killed on the Training River Railway, on Saturday, while in the act of charginga hole with dynamite, AUCTION SALES.BY A.J.NAXHAM & CO AUCTION SALE F EXTREMELY CENTRAL AND valuable Keal Entate, at St.Sauveur.Messrs Maxham & Co.are instructed to offer on TUESDAY, the 6th of December, at their offices, No 130 St.Peter street, the following valuable and centrally situated viz : 1.The south half of lot No.618 fix hon- dred and eighteen) of the official tre of the parish of St.Sauveur, in the City of Quebc, being » half emplacement situate on Hamel street in rear;the said half containing thiet;
