Washington, D. C. (Speoial).?The regular
seeilon of the Fifty-fifth Congress began
at noon Monday, when Vice-President Hoin
the Senate, and Speaker Beed, in
the Honse, called these respective bodies to
order. As Congress was organized last
March, the opening session was rather
tame In comparison with the nsnal first
d?y. Although the galleries were orowded
In both Senate and House, there was not
Um rush as is generally the case when
anew Congress assembles. The corridors
were not crowded with hurrying spectators,
for those who wanted to get in the galleries
came early, secured good seats and
sontented themselves watching the scones
on the floor. The public galleries were
Oiled, but those reserved for the executive
and diplomatic guests were empty.
The two houses after appointing committees
to notify the President that Congress
was in session took a recess until one
o'clock. Promptly at that hour the President's
message was received and read. The
reading was-listened to with muoh closer
Interest than usual, and at times tnere
irere outbursts of applause for some of the
more striking points.

MEETING OF THE SENATE.
Vice-President Hobart Calls the Body to
Order and Work Begins.
Washington, D. 0. (8pecial).?The Senate
Chamber at the opening of the session
was a veritable conservatory. The floral
display was unusually rich and beautiful,
and the odor of flowers was heavy in the
hall.
Half an hour before the Senate convened
the publio and executive and reserved galleries
were filled with spectators to witness
the opening of the session. The handsome
coetumes of the women added much to the
brightness of the soene.
Vice-President Hobart called the Senate
to order at noon, and announced the open?rtool/\w

heart beating reverently by the bedaide
of the President's mother, and prayed
for her "quiet and peaceful passage to the
eelestial world." The roll of Senators was
then called, and 8?venty-seven responded,
showing the absence of only twelve.
The usual committees to notify the
President and the House that the Senate
was in session were then appointed, after
which a recess was taken. At 1.30 the
Senate reconvened and immediately the
President's message was presented by Mr.
Pruden, the President's Assistant Secretary.
The reading of the message was concluded
at 2.50. The document was ordered

Speaker Reed Start# the Proceedings
With a New Gavel.
r?' Washington, D. C. (Special).?The Hall
of Bepresentatlves presented an animated
appearance long before the hour of noon
arrived. The surrounding corridors were
filled with jostling, moving crowds, and
V' . before 11 o'clock the enoircilng galleries
, whioh overlooked the floor were black with
people. I
The representation of a huge gavel, in
red and white carnations, stood upon the
Speaker's table. Many members also were
remembered with floral offerings from admiring
friends and the chamber looked a
oo^yer 01 rosea, us me uauus ui mo
pointed to the hour of 12, Speaker Reed,
attired la a black cutaway coat and wearing
a red tie, pushed through the green
baize doors from the lobby and ascended
the rostrum.
One crack of the gavel subdued the din
on the floor and the conversation in the
overhanging galleries. The gavel with
which the Speaker called the House to order
was presented to him by J. C. Groner,
Sheriff of Knox County, Tennessee. The
gavel Is made of wood of an apple tree
r-~ which grew beside the log house in which
Farragut was bora. This house 'stood at
Lowe's Ferrv, on the Tennessee River, six
miles below knoxville.
In the deep silence whloh followed the
sailing of the assemblage to order, the
prayer of the English pastor, the Rev.
Charles A. Berry, of Wolverhampton, England,
was impressive. The Speaker then
directed the Clerk to call the roll.
The roll call showed the presence of 301
members. There were Ave vacancies from
death or resignation during the recess and
the credentials of the members-elect were
read bv the direction of the Speaker, who
then administered the oath of offloe to
them. They wore F. M. Griffith (Dem.),

nothing to do except await the reception
of the President's message, the House then
took a recess until 1.20 p. m.

TERMS OF THE ULTIMATUM.

Durlnjf the Salnte Ceremony a Haytlan
Band Flared the German AnthemAmerican
Minister Withdrew JFrom
Conference,Declaring Term* Too Severe
Pobt an Pbihcz, Haytl (By Cable).?The
trouble between Germany and Haytl appears
to be settled. The Haytlan Government
has saluted the German flag and the
foreigners who had sought refuge on board
ships In this harbor have returned to their
homes. Count Sohwerin, the German
Minister, and the Countess debarked, escorted
by the officers ot tho Charlotte.
The ultimatum, whose terms were ao
eepted in full, Imposed the following con.
dltions: An indemnity of $30,000 to Herr
Lueders, the return of Herr Lueders to
Haytl upder the guarantee of the Government,
an official expression to the German
Government of the regret of the Haytian
Government and the reception of Count
Schwerin by President Tireslas Simon Sam.
Had the ultimatum not been complied
with the bombardment would have begun
at 1 o'clook in the afternoon. There were
In the roadstead two German steamers, a
French steamer, the German frigates Charlotte
and Stein and the Frenoh cruiser Admiral
Bigault de Genoullly.
The first part of the settlement took place
at 6 o'clock p. m., when the Haytiqn fleet
formally saluted the German flag from the
flagship of the fleet of Haytl, the Crete-aPlerrot,
a small vessel of 910 tons, armed
with a few guns of light calibre. The rest
of the Haytian fleet consists of a dispatch
boat, the Capols la Mort, and two badly
armed and generally decrepit small oraft,
the Toussalnt L'Ouverture and the Dessallnes,
of 1200 tons.
Admiral Kiliok, the Haytian Commander,
had charge of the formal salnte of the German
flag, and while the flag of the republic
was being dipped on board the Crete-aPierrot
to the standard of Germany the
band of the Haytian navy played the German
National anthem and the Havtian flagship
fired twenty-one guns, which were answered
by the German flagship, the Char-,
lotto, which is used as a schoolshlp.
The second part of the settlement of the
troable took place next morning, when
Oonnt von Schwerin, the German Minister
to Hayti, was received formally and solemnly
by the Haytian offloials. The Haytians,
it is further understood, also have
assured the German authorities that summary
justloe will be meted out promptly to
those of the officials of Haytl who caused
the estrangement between the republic and
Germany.
Boutlne business has been resumed and
the Government has taken every preoaution
possible to maintain order. Naturally
there is a strong feeling of resentment
against the Government of Havtl on account
of the humiliation Inflicted upon the
country-by Germany, but It is not thought
that anything more serious than a minisA

The entire diplomatic corps, with the exception
of the United States Minister, Mr.
Powell, had requested' Haytl to comply.
Minister Powell regarded the terms as too
humllating to Haytl, and withdrew from
the conference.
TREASURY AFFAIRS.
v ______________ t
Secretary Otgo'i Report Estimates a Deficit
or 838,000,000.
Secretary of the Treasury Gage in his
annnal report jnst sont to Congress says
that the Dlngly tariff act "has not been In
force long enough to determine fully Its
merits, but It Is confidently believed that :
when In full operation it will afford ample
revenue for the ordinary needs of the
Government."
In his estimates for the fiscal year 1898
he places the total revenue at 8441,000,000,ana
expenditures at 8469,000,000, a deficit
of $28,000,000.
For 1899 the revenues are estimated at
8482,000,000, and appropriations at 8504,000,000,
a deflolt of 821.000,000. ' ,
For the fiscal year ended June SO last the ' 1
receipts were 8430,000,000, and expenses
8448,000,000, a deficit of 818,000,000.
Secretary Gage recommends the estab- i
lishment of an issue and redemption dlvi- <
a ion, in which the greenbacks should be i
deposited, to be paid out only in exchange
for gold; also that provision be made for i
the issue of refunding bonds; also that the i
National Banking act be amended so as to
secure among other things a larger Issue <
of bank notes. i

"The Golden Bole" Is the Title of the
Third of the Mew York Herald's Competltlve
Sermons?Preached by Rev.
Charles 8. Tedder, of Charleston, S. C.
Txxt: "Let us consider one another."?
Hebrews x., 34.
Here Is the Golden Bole, expressed In the
terns of familiar speech and practical action?the
way in which the oommond to do
nnto others as we wonldthat others should
do unto us may be made effectually operative.
Here is the sursum oorda of all discontent
with the Inequality of human conditions;
the proclamation of peace in all
strife of human opinions: the solution of
thu problem of capital and labor; the condition
of harmony in all human relations.
The two noble brothers of the Hebrew tradition,
secretly sharing the sheaves of their
barley harvest with each other to make up
what each conceived that the other laoked
of the elements of happiness, exemplified
it. Sir Philip Sydney aid no more when,wounded

saying, "Thy necessity is greater than
mine."
The words of the text were spoken by one
of the great teachers orthe world to those
who had associated themselves for worship
and work, and whom he would fain lnolte
to the highest and purest and kindliest life.
"Let us consider one .another." We would
better receive the fall meaning of the ap-'
peal should we use the similar, familiar
and expressive word "considerate"?"Let
us be considerate of one another."
Among the potential agenoies of the
world are those whloh are directly addressed
in the text and those akin to them
in spirit and purpose?organisations which
seek to promote human welfare, whether
they be called ohuwhw, charities or by
whatever name else. In all. of these there
are possibilities of difference and division
which will defeat or retard their usefulness
and value. If we would know bow
these possibilities may be met and overcome
we neied but ooncelve of one of these
instrumentalities for good in which each
member la "considerate" of every other.
Then we should see the strong bearing
with the Id Amities of the weak; the weak
not stumbled with the larger liberty of the
strong; the rich sympathizing with the
manifold trials of the poor; the poor con
siderate of the crowding cares and calls of
the rloh and zealous that both may- be
poorer In spirit and richer In the grace* of
character. We should see the Oldtalndful
of the enthusiasm of their own youth and,
remembering Its errors, gently guiding and
tempering?not frowning upon and rebuking?the
ardor of the younger; the
young would be seen sitting at the feet of
the old to learn and rising fromthem to do,
not rejecting the counsels of1 the hoary
head as fossil theories of a buried generation,
but acknowledging that "days should
speak and the multitude of years teaoh
wisdom." If with increase of age infirmity
had comej its very decrepitude would be
honored as the wound, of an earlier warfare.
Parents would be then not forgetful
that they were once children; ohlldren that
duty to parents Is duty to God and that
they one day may need a parent's immunities.
We should see the wise gentle to the
ignorance of the Ignorant and patient to
instruct it; the unlearned, If need be, tolerant
of the irritability of incessant thought
and exacting study and eager to share the
trait of such toll, and all esteeming It
more blessed to give than to receive forbearance
and extenuation.
Had any "fallen," all would think how
adapted was the temptation to the weakness
It conquered, ana how Improbable, If
thas beset, that any would have remained
steadfast. Repentance before God would
give the offence to oblivion In the sight of
men, save to kindle a deeper sympathy for
the frailty that bad yielded. There would
be the constant summoning of that oharity
which "seeketh not her own, thinketh mo
evil, hopeth all things, endureth all'
things."
If reprooNseemed duty, the fact would
not be overlooked that
Berne hearts there are so perilously fashioned
God's touch alone hath tenderness enough
To waken, and not break, the thrilling
strings.
"Let us be considerate of one another!"
How benignant a law this for social interooursel
How happy would be the community
In which it reigned! We learn very
early in this life that the secret of peaceful
auu piwuiii jiviu^ is a kouuuus iouvguitlon
of the differences between us and
others and a fall allowance of the right to '
differ. In different ages and climes different
definitions have obtained as to what
constitutes "refinement." There is one ,
element In whioh all ages and climes agTeel
k true good breeding is that whioh Is considerate
of the feelings of others, of whatever
class or condition.
Why is it that sometimes even the saored
circle of home is darkened with the oloud
of painful differences, but that some with- ,
in it lack thoughtfulness of the feelings ;
and even the Tailings of others? Rigid in
their own ways, they are Intolerant of the
different ways of others. Why is It that In
the sami circles of. soolety variances
some, which grow to settled alienations,
but that in some thoughless moment a
word, look or act has wounded the sensibilities
of another, or even slighted his
prejudices, and when regret came some
retaliatory word forbade acknowledgment?
Employer and employed! Are they al- ;
ways to be at odds? Tes, until each "considers"
the other and not himself alone.
What is there which would banish from i
the Intercourse and rivalries of business <
the personal antagonism which is often en- |
gendered, like tearing down the ghastly ]
egend from the marts of trade, "Every (
nan for himself." and writing there in- >
itead tbe kindly motto,. "Let as be oon- <
ilderato of one another?"
Stfll, still in mutual sufferance lies
The secret of true living;
Love scarce is love that never knows
The sweetness of forgiving!
