What heading Republicans Think or the
HI line Interview.
j Copyright, 18S7, by Vie California Associated Press. ]
Nkw York, December Mb.— The inter
view with Blame published this morning
created more of a sensation that the Presi
dent a message. The general Republican
comment is that it was the trumpet-sound
of Republican victory in 1888. The com
ment is that the interview, besides dealing
abiilliant and effective blow at the free
trade doctrine, might properly be regarded
as an intimation that Blame was willing to
run again in a campaign that will turn on
the actual question of party principle.
"The interview with Blame." said Chaun
cey M. Depew, "furnishes the best answer
to the President's message I have yet read,
and I think it may be accepted all'over the
country as the best statement of Republi
can doctrines, in view of the impending
conflict over the larill."
NOAH DAVIS* OLD FRIEN[>.
This is what ex-Judge Xoah Davis said
about the President's message and Blame's
response: "I was delighted to see the
President's message, as I always am to
meet an old acquaintance. If it were not
indecorous to accuse tbe President
of plaigtmsm, I should say he borrowed
the mtssage from the "stump speech
which the late Chief Justice Church,
while leader of the Democracy in Western
New York, was accustomed to make dur
ing the contest between Clay and Polk.
With the exception of internal revenue
taxation, which he also opposed, there is
not much difference of idea, and very little
of language, between the message and that
stump speech."

The Light Thrown Upon Defects in Our
Social -> it, in.
Washington, December Xth. — Justice
Harlan, of the Supreme Court, presided at
this morning's meeting of the Evaucelical
Alliance.
Rev. S. W. Dike, of Massachusetts, read
a paper on "Perils of the Family." The
American family is not strong enough for
the strain upon it, from our social condi
tion. As a social production, our failures
with the family are dangerously numerous.
No Christian country takes greater risks,
from luose marriage and divorce laws than
ours.
Colonel Green, of Connecticut, read a pa- i
per on " The Social Vice." The speaker
named — among the more dangerous and
more unnoticed agencies for the promotion
of social vice— the public school, with its
inevitable mingling of thepureand impure,
where evil inliuences are rife, impure
novels, and the sensational, scandal-mon
gering press, which is the close ally of im
pure fiction. The eyes of journalism are
turned into every corner. Alas, that its
wonderful acumen is so largely employed
to discover that which is poisonous. The
arts of printing, sculpture and music often
disseminate impure suggestions in the most
dangerous way of all. The saloon is an
other exceedingly fruitful seed-bed for the
germs of impurity. We must make an
aggressive, as well as defensive warfare.

blow, not alone to New England, but to the

The Next Republican National Convention
to he Held at Chicago OB June 19th.
Washington, December Sth.— The Re
publican National Committee was called to
order at the Arlington Hotel at 11 o'clock
by Chairman Jones, who briefly stated that
the purpose of the meeting was to select a
time and place for holding the next Na
tional Convention of the party. He said:
' Kecent utterances indicate a determina
tion to end this prosperity by adverse legis- I
lation, forced upon the country by an Ad- i
ministration hostile to American Industry I
and mlso indicates the necessity of the re- I
turn to power of the Republican party in
the National Government, so that Ameii
cau industry, wool-growing and sugar
raising, equally with iron-making and
textile production, may have continued
prosperity, and the employes in these in
dustries constant employment and con
tinued good wages, such as American work
men should receive. "
The roll was then called, and every State
and Territory, with one or two exceptions
was represented by a delegate or proxy.
An informal discussion ensued as to the
time which ,-hoiild be allowed, and it was
finally decided that fifteen minutes should
be accorded to each delegation. Speaking
on behalf of Minneapolis, Windom con
cluded as follows:
"An issue has been made by the Presi
dent in his message, and the Republican
party must act upon it. The issue is that
of protection or free trade. He (Windom)
was glad that the issue had been made.
The Democrats knew there was an element
in the Republican party of the Northwest
that was not as sound on the question of
protection as it ought to be. Was it not to
the interest of the committee to take the
Convention to the Northwest, where it
would do the most good?"
(ieneral Henderson, of Missouri, acted
as spokesman for a lart-e delegation who
presented the advantages of St. Louis as a
Convention city.
After a recess the Chicago delegates were
admitted, and Mayor Roche, of Chicago,
detailed the conveniences which could be
accorded the members of the Convention
by Chicago in case that city secured the
vote of the committee.
Senator Manderson spoke for Omaha,
and after setting forth the conveniences
which could be afforded by that city, de
clared that he was not over-estimating
them in the slightest degree.
THE PLACE AND DATE.
Various other gentlemen spoke in behalf
of Cincinnati, New York, Richmond, Phil
adelphia and other cities, and finally bal
loting was commenced.
The result was that Chicago was selected
as the place for holding the next National
Convention, and June 19th was tixed upon
as the date.
NATIONAL DEFENSE.
Suggestions of Secretary Whitney to Im-
prove the Navy.
jCoj/yripM, ISS7, by U,t California Associated Prtsc. \
Washington, December Nth.— Secretary
Whitney's report will be sent to Congress
on Friday. He says with the excep
tion of two cases the .Department lias prac
tically abandoned the idea of unprotected
torpedo-boats, but lie recommends the con
tinuation of experiments in submarine
boats, and that attention be given to the
subject of pneumatic guns and pneumatic
gun-carriages.
On the subject of naval reserves the De
ptrUucut is prepared to formulate a gen-
I erm'j^Um for organization similar to foreign
bodies. To meet the requirements and
condition* of our own institutions it should
resemble in organization that of the militia
and National Guard, and rest upon founda
tions of local interest.
He contemplates the employment and
rapid mobilization of steamers enrolled on
the auxiliary navy list, and calculated to
produce the best results upon comparative
ly small national expenditure. The Secre
tary recommends the construction of live
new ships as follows: Two armor-clad ves
sels, to cost, exclusive of armament, not
more than £'',"00,000, one to be built by
contract and one in the navy-yards; and
three more fast cruisers of the highest
type.
ISKI.FSS MONITORS.
Washington, December Bth. — In his re
port Secretary Whitney says, among other
things : "An examination of the character
istics of single-turretted monitors show that
outsije of the ships in ourownnavy.no
antagonist could be found against which
they could stand for a moment They
were good vessels for their time, but are en
tirely obsolete. A lir^t-class modern iron
clad could safely anchor, surrounded by a
fleet of these monitors without any danger
of injury to herself, and any one of her
guns could tend a projectile clean through
a monitor from stem to stern. It would be
little less than murder to send men in these
at the present time to encounter any re
cently-built iron-clad."
CALIFORNtA-MADK BTKKL.
Under the head of ship-building, the re
port says : "It is believed that our private
ship-yards can produce war ships equal,
and perhaps superior, to those produced
elsewhere. It is notably in this connection
that the efforts of the Department to raise
the standard of material for ships have re
sulted in a class of material believed to be
superior to that ever produced for any sim
ilar purpose. Especially has the steel made
upon the Pacilic coast 'been notable for its
quality, and the construction of cruisers
there may mark an important event in its
industrial histury."

Washington, December Bth. — The Re
publican Senatorial Coimnittee appointed
to arrange committees for that body ex
pects to have i's work completed by Mon
day, when the Senate will meet again.
Senator Dolph hopes) to be assigned to the
Foreign Affairs Committee, as well as the
Commerce, of which he i.s now a member.
Senator Stewart wants to be a member of
the Judiciary Committee, in which there is
a vacancy in the Republican representation.
When he was a member of the Senate
several years ago he was a member of this
important committee. Senator Hearst, be
ing a new Senator, does not expect to be
assigned to any important committee at
tbis session. Senator Stanford will be made
Chairman of the Committee on Public
Buildings and Ground?, and Senator
Mitcbtll will probably be made Chairman
of the Committee on Territories.
AJIONG DKJIOCKATS.
The President Afl'ects Satisfaction at the
Reception of His Policy.
[CopyrijlU, VSSI, lj tlit California Auocialcd rrcss.}
■Washington, December Sth.— President
Cleveland expresses himself as greatly
pleased at the way in which his message
has been received. He thinks that in mak
ing the tariff the issue in the campaign he
insures New York to the Democratic party
in the next election, with a pood prospect
of carrying Minnesota and Michigan. The
complete laying aside of the much-talked
of repeal of the tobacco tai startled and
frightened sonic of the Democrats from the
tobacco-srowing States, but they are com
ing to see that this does not imply party
opposition to the repeal of that tax. Last
summer, at the Oakview conference, the
President took a position in opposition to
the repeal of the tobacco tax, but thought
that the tariff reformers could consent to it
to secure a tariff reduction. That was de
cided upon as the thing to be done.
In sending his recommendations to f'.in
gress the President dealt with what he
thoughtjought to be done— not what he was
I ■willing should be done.
With the knowledge that Carlisle was
" the man with whom the President con-
suited while preparing his message, the
message is read in connection with Car
lisle's speech in taking the chair, and the
tobacco men are contented. They remem
ber that the most they ever expected from
the President was tha' he would say noth
ms on the subject of tobacco : and" as the
matter stands, the message will not drive
away any of the Virginia or North Caio
hna members.
The understanding is that the tariflbill
to be brought forth as a party measure will
include the repeal of the tobacco tax and
this is satisfactory to many of Mr. Randall's
followers.
CALIFORNIA INTERESTS.
Representative McKenna Offer Sugges
tions to Speaker Carlisle.
[Copyright, ISS7, by Uie California Associated Press. I
Washington. December Bth — Repre
sentative McKenna had an interview with
Speaker Carlisle this morning in reference
to the assignment of the California mem
bers upon .committees of the House. Mr
Mckenna desires to go either upon the
Ways and Means and Appropriations, or
I oreign Affairs. He wishes to be relieved
from the Committee on Claims, where he
served in the last Congress.
The Speaker urgently requested Mc-
Kenna to put in writing his personal de
sire, also the claim of < alifornia to be re
cognized upon higher committees. In re
sponse to this request McKenna left the
Speaker a letter to-day in which, among
other things, be said : " 1 urge the claims
of the Pacific Coast to a representation on
the Committee on Ways and Means. In
one sense the Pacific Coast is a distinct
section, isolated by a wide distance even
from the Western States, so-called, and has
interests which it thinks will be better
suoserved by its own Representatives.
"The Committee of Ways and Means em
braces in its jurisdiction subjects of the
highest national importance, more import
ant now than ever before, and distinctive
now : and. if you pardon my suggestions
the committee should be more representa
tive now of all parts of the Union than
ever before."

Pbsth, December Bth-— ln the best in
lormed circles the situation arising from
the reiuforccment of Russian troops in
l'oland is not regarded as portending im
mediate danger. Nothing more will be
done yet beyond sending a warning to
Russia that Austria is watchful and will
not leave unanswered any further military
measure that iiusiia takes.
Austria will not precipitate cotmter meas
ures because she does not desire to leave
Russia without a loophole, or to give her
retreat the appearance of being due to Aus
trian menace. It is expected that Austria
wnl «rant to Russia a dalay for furnishi^

regard the matters in a perfectly calm
