Tim president's coming message to congress will have oua sensational feature. The Chilean chapter will be the niost vigorous utterance that baa been contained in an executive message for a long while. It will show the seriou-iies- s of the situation. At no time lias it been under estimated by the president mid Secretary Blaine. There will he no hint of recalling Minister Egan. If anything is to he said ou that point It will be more likely words of praise than anything else. The question on which the president wants to give congress the fullest information relates to the attack on the. sailor of the Haltiniuro and the unsatisfactory action of tho Chilean government. Thr dirtereuro between that attack and the New Orleans lynching will he fully explained and then a hint will bo giveu ihut it may vet become necessary to present au ultimatum to the Chilean government. Kvcry nuval commandant in tho United States has received Instructions to lit out and put on commission all the sea going lying in American waters and the result is that two powerful fleets now have their bows turned toward the south. The president will probably hint to con. gross the steps which it may be necessary for the United States to tako'm order to In-sure reparation, the manner of which is threefold: indemnity for the outrage, pun-ishment for the offender and apologies to the flag insulted. 3IK. CJUSP'S GAVEL. DETAILS OF THE GREAT FICHT FOR THE SPEAKERSHIP. Springer Named the Mail-Ho- w tli Vote Stood Hrlf KloKrapnti III Skulcli of the Miu Who Wilt Try to t ill the riace of Tom lietd. Washington, Dec. 8. Charles Frederick Crisp of Georgia, was last night nominated for speaker of the house, of representatives by thu democratic; caucus. This agreement was reached on the. thirtieth ballot, the. vote being Crisp, 119; Mills, 10."); Springer, 4; .Stevens 1. During the morning caucus there was do change in the situation. During the two hours and a half before the reassembling in Ui a afternoon the supporters of Hie various candidates displayed ceaseless activity in the effort to win acquisitions from tho fol-lowers of each other. Just before the re-assembling of the caucus this afternoon, Cable of Illinois notitied Springer that he had decided to abandon him and vote lor Mills. Ho told Springer that he thought his cause a hopeless one, and that the Interests of the democratic party demanded the election of Mills. Immediately the news of f able's an-nouncement spread, and it was seized as au Indication of the dissolution of Springer's forces. The announcement that Newberry would follow caused further excitement. There was a hasty conference of Springer's other followers, but no line of aetiou was decided upon just then. Stcwar of Illinois was indignant at what he denounced as the treachery of his co-lleagues in deserting Springer. He an-nounced that he would not support Mills in any case. This announcement was a thun-derclap to the managers. Mills, as tho Texas candidate, all along counted ou tho solid support of Springer's Illinois col. leagues whenever that gentleman was out of the race. and Mills with 10;. The Georgia candidate was one short of nomination, with and his little Springer band of followers holding the balance of power. It remained to the Illi-nois leader to say who would bo speaker of the fifty second congress. tlrcat applause greeted Springer as he thu hall. There was a breathless pause os Sprmiier proceeded to bis little group of supporters, and, shaking hands all round, thanked each for his loyal support. The house applauded this graceful little ai t, and when Sprluirxr asked recognition from the chair and prepared to vote, the suspense was ainful. "I ," said Mr. Springer, "to he re. corded as votiug for M r. Crisp,.'' The vote of Springer nominated Crisp, and the ap. plnusn which greeted the annotiuccmtmt was deafening. A do.cu members rushed to grasp the Illinois man's hand, and he was the recipient of au enl liusiastic ovat ion for Crisp. Husey aud Stuart ( III. and llotinuB hid. i followed their candidate, and, after Springer's withdrawal, voted with him for t risp. Snow i lll.'i Hrigaii Neb. and Mur-t-and I'atton Ind.) remained on record as voting for Springer. So the result of the dual and decisive ballot was Crisp lift. Mills 104. Sprinter 4. mid Stevens 1.

J Ibeij to say to you that there is in our party today no man who more earnestly believes in the democratic doctrine of tariff: reform than I do." Renewed cheers. The following nominations w ero then madt for minor oillces: Kerr (Pcnn.) for elerk, unanimously; Voder (Ohio) sergeaut-a-arms, unanimously, after It waa seen that he was far in the lead of Murphy of Iowai Turner of New York for doorkeeper by 17 votes to 'J1 for Fields of Virginia and 8 fo Colt of Connecticut; Dal tun' of Indiana fot postmaster, by 12'J to 20 for Wright of North C arolina, ;iU for Harney of Wisconsin and 4d for McL'lammy of North Carolina. Then Sprineer stated that he would in open house renominate the old chaplain Mill, burn of Illinois. After tho caucus, Mills w as invited to speak upon the result, but abswercd: "I have nothing to say to the press." Hatch said he was entirely satisfied. He voted for Crisp because the latter possesses in a most eminent degroe, all the qualitica. tious of an ahle, conservative and success-ful speaker. He did not share in the belief that Crisp was not a conscientious tariff re-former, and he was better satisfied with his record on tho silver question thau that of Mills. Sprineer said he had chosen the course that he deemed best for the iutcrcst of the democratic party generally. "Crisp will make an able and impartial presiding oft licer. There will be, no scenes trf disorder, or rulings which would cause any demo, crat to regret Crisp's elevation to this high, position. I have always insisted," said Mr. Springer, that the office of speaker should be tilled by a man of Judicial mind, who would uuder all circumstances be able to maintain order and preserve the dignity of the. body. "As far as the question of tariff reform is concerned, 1 have taken pains to satisfy my-self that in Mr. Crisp's election it will be preserved as the paramount issue of the pres-idential campaign of lS'.li. But there are other issues, especially that of economy in the nublic expenditures. We must make a The twenty-secon- d ballot was destined to mark the first significant change of the day. Cable (111.) abandoned Springer and voted for Mills. Newberry also desr -- d Spriuger for tho Texan. Tarsncy let Hatch and voted for Crisp. During the succeeding ballot tho excitement was intense. Shively a few days sgo served notice ou Cable and Newberry that' whenever they deserted Springer for Y'"a. h ik ttn ilsiciyts vrM --"tfszl 'his byotinfT for Crisp. - Tins threat: wio carriet- - out by Shively and Stout changing to Crisp. 0bh and jeanuau (Mo.) then left Hutch and voted for Mills. Immediately there was the wildest excite, ment. Catchings and others of the Crisp forces rushd from the hall and into the headquarters of natch. There was a drief conference, and Catchings reappeared fol-lowed bv Hatch. Thebry wentup: "Hatch is to withdraw!" "Hakhis to go to Crisp!" They were not mistaken, for the entrance of Hatch into the caucus could have, but one meaning. Hatch voted for Crisp, and lljrnes and Wilson of his state followed his lead. This gave crisp a lead of live votes, tho twenty-thir- d ballot resulting: Crisp 100, Mills !J5, McMillan ID, Springer 13. Stev-ens 1. On the twcnty.fourth ballot Springer lost another vote and Crisp reaped tho profit. McClelland (Ind.) followed the example of Shively and voted for Crisp. This was the only change, but it gave Crisp a lead of six over Mills. Then the assault upon Springers forces ceased and territic efforts were made to break McMillan's ranks. Members rushed hither and thither, but the efforts were iu vaiu. The twenty.fifth, twenty-sixt- and twenty-sevent- ballots failed to show any change. Then recess was taken until 8 p. in. The two hours' interval was industriously utilized by the candidates and managers. Springer aiid McMillan held a hearty and subsequently dined together, with the result'that they decided to act in the termination of the cont-st- , should it become inevitable that either Crisp or Mills must lie elected. Sp'rliigc.r and his supporters held a secret conference, at which Springer thanked his followers for their loyal support, nnd stated his belief that either Crisp or Mills would be. elected. "You, gentlemen, have been loyal to me," said he, "and it is now time, to be loyal to you. Iam prepared to throw my Influence and vote for either candidate, you may desire to support, as a unit, with the positive understanding with the man we may elect that 1 waut nothing, but my friends must be well treated. Applause. I leave you to decide upon the candidate you desire to support as second choice, uud my vote and influence is at your disposal." Applause. Alter Springer's withdrawal the delega-tion discussed briefly the questions of policy and finally decided that they would not avail themselves of Springer's generosity, but would leave him entirely free to vote as ha desired on the decisive caudidate, and they would each do the same. From now on Springer was greatly in dc niand. He was in turn importuned by Crisp, record in this congress which will convince the people that w e are in favor of au honest and economical administration and that no money should be expended, except such as is absolutely necessary for puhlic purposes. The. election of ("risp will not coniplicato the presidential contest. . No candidate for president will receive any advantage or dis-advantage from it." Th New Speaker.

Hut the amount of solace and encouragement he gave either or any of them could not be learned. That most of McMillan's followers were decidedly pledged to a second choice, and that Springer and his immediate, friends held the key to the Mtnation. wus the ccnernl opinion, and the first ballot of the rvenin j was awaited with breathless interest. The first change came when the name of Furrows, one of Springer's Illinois support-er- , w as reached. That gentleman voted for Crisp, and a few minutes later another of Springer's Illinois friends voted for the de- - (ia candidate. Bohbitt and Miller (Wis.) went to Mills' forces. Crisp was now within eleven votes of tue nomination, but McMillan's nineteen men were still un-moved. No election was possible w iiile they renuuued loyal to the Tennesson candidate. During ail this time McMillan had been holding frequent- conferences with his )n the following ballot there was one chance fraught with ominous portent to Mills. "Mr. Stobnecker, who had steadily voted for Mills, changed to Crisp. liobbitt (Wis. ) returned to Springer. So the twenty-nint- h ballot resulted: Crisp, liH; Mills, 'M; McMillan. 1!'; Springer, !; Stevens, I. At the bcirinuiiii,' of the thirtieth ballot, and before the call beirau, .McMillan, who hud been standing iu the cear of the lobby, entered the bail. ln!antiy there was "a burst of applause.

Enloe and Kyle went to Mills and Washington to Crisp. When the naiua of McMillan was called, that ttiitle-mn- u rose and voted for Mills.

New Members In the Senate. Washington', D. C, Dec. 8. The senate met at noon yesterday. There was an un-usually large number of new senators to be sworn in, counting' up seventeen, without the senator from Florida, neither tho name of Call or Davidson being on the printed list At noon the took the chair, and the session opened with prayer by Chap-lai- Butler. After this the laid before the senate the credentials of tho new senators, tho resignation of Senator Reagan of Texas, and tho appointment by the governor of that state of Mr. Chilton. Other credentials were those of Felton of California, to fill the vacancy caused by Hearst's death; the resignation of Edmunds of Vermont, and the appointment of Proc. tor; the credentials ol Call and Davidson, each claiming to be senator from Florida. After the latter two were read Mr. Harris moved that they be referred to the committee on privileges and elections so that the ques-tion might be decided in the light of thorough Investigation. He asked that they be laid on the table. George said that he would not object to this request, but that he would insist that the senate had both the facts and the laws before it, and ought to proceed at once to seat Call as the legally elected member. After a few remarks by Mr. Hoar the matter went over. When the credentials of Senator Brice, senator-elec- t from Ohio, were presented. Senator Sherman said: "Before fhe oath of ollice is administered to Mr. Brice, I desire to say that a larsto portion of the citizens of Oliio'contend that he was not an inhabitant of that state at the time of his election, nrd was, therefore, not eligible to a seat in this body. Ou examining the precedents, of which thero are several in the history of the government, aud some of them most impor-tant, I am entirely satisfied that Mr. Brice is entitled to be sworn in on the prima facie of his credentials, which arc regular inform. I simply gave this notice, however, so tint his being sworn may not be considered any waiver, or any misapprehension or miscon-struction, if the people or the legislature of Ohio should assort and prove to the satis-faction of the Senate that Mr. Brice was not, at the time of his election, un inhabitant of Ohio. But I make no objection to the HweariiiL' in of Mr. Brice." The nwearluir in of the newly elected, or appointed senators was then proceeded With. They were sworn in croups of four or live, in the first trrotip being Mr. Brice, who was escorted by Retina. Iu the next L'roups were Chilton of Texas, Dubois of Idaho, Felton of California, ami daliinger of 'Jiew liiimpshire. Mr. Uoar caid that, as to Chilton, there was a tiicrtion as to whether the sovernor of Texas hud power to appoint before a va-cancy actually occurred. He would after, ward move to refer the case to the committee ou privileges and elections. Mr. Hale paid that he desired to examine, the credentials of Dubois, and asked that they lie on tho table until tomorrow. Airreed to. and the other senators in the group were sworn in.
