WASHINGTON, Jan. 81, 1916.
Yesterday, in the House, Mr.. King,
OF Georgia, offered a joint resolution,
respecting the years notice to Great
Britain. 1t declares that the notice
should not be given until after the ad-
iournment of the present session of Con-
gress, and provides that the notice to
Great Britain shall be accompanied with
proposition to submit the question in
dispute to the arbitration Of some third
power, both governments pledging
themselves to abide by the decision of
the arbitrator. 1t further provides that
the committee on Territories be in
slructed to report bill organizing a
territorial government, to take effect at
the expiration of the years notice.
Mr.. i'reston King, of New York, sub
mitted resolution to terminate the de-
bate on the Oregon question, on Mon
day next, at O'Clock, p. M. The res
olution. by the consent oi the mover,
was laid on the table at present. The
House then went into committee OF the
whole. on the state Of the Union, when
Mr.. Pendleton of Virginia, spoke against
the Oregon notice.
In the Senate, Mr.. Allen, agreeab!y
to notice, called up the resolution SUBJ
mitted by him several days since, con
cerning the interference of European
Governments. IN American affairs. -
Notice having been given by the NOV
er, the question was now on leave TO
introduce them. Their init oducton
was advocated by Messrs. Cass, Allen,
and others, and opposed by Mr.. CAL
honn. Leave to introduce them was
finally granted, by vote OF &c to 81.
and they were referred to the commit
tee on Foreign Relations.
To-day, Mr.. Towns. OF Georgia.
elected in the place of Mr.. Poe, resign
ed, appeared, was sworn in, and took
his seat. The House, having resolved
itself into committee of the whole, Mr.
Douglas, of Illinois, addressed the COM
mittee in favor of giving the Oregon no.
tice. Mr.. Bailey, Of Virginia, spoke
against it, and Mr.. Campbell, of New
York, in favor.
To-day was set apart in the Senate,
for the consideration of Mr.. Fairfeld's
bill, augmcnting the navy, by building
ten new war-steamers, and completing
the vessels now on the stocks, and re-
pairing those in ordinary. The Senate
was so crowded, that little of the debate
could be heard, except by those in the
more favored seats. Hence, ] am not
enabled to give you sketch of it; nor
to apprise you Of the decision, if one
was arrived at. This, however, is of
secondary Importance: the debate,
which occurred in the Senate yester-
day, on Mr.. Aliens resolutions, is the
one, which. at present, is engrossing
public attention. 1t was, indeed, a most
animated, and stirring discussion, and
one, which will be read with interest,
in the remotest quarters of the Union.
Aduertis,ng.-The New Orleans Del
ia has quite pithy paragraph on this
subject. Advertising, says the editor,
is to business, what the oil is to The
night lamp. Withhold the necessary
supply Of oil, and the light goes out
advertise not literally, and who you
are, or what is your business; is known
only to limited circle, your expenses
otherwise continue, your business falls
off, you break, and your name, which
was never seen to an advertisement in
the newspapers, now figures in the list
Of bankruptcy. This is true---all true.
II is the teaching of the times, and he
who will not learn it, must expect, at
this period of general activity and rival
ry in business, to keep up with his adj
vertising neighbors in the race for pat
ronage and prosperity.
