THlEsTKETss CONGRESS-,
FIRST SESSION.
From the Baltimore Sun.

WASHINGTON, May 4,
Ia the Senate, Mr. Hannegan, Chairman of The
Committee on Foreign Relations, reported bill
10 enable the President to take temporary mill
tary occupation Of Yucatan-to employ the army
and navy Of the United States for that purpose
and TO repress the ncursons Of the savages against
the white population with arms, ammunition
&C., 10 repel The attacks OF the Indians-snd IA
authorize the raising OF additional volunteers,
equal in number. 10 replace the troops Withdrawn
from other portions OF the service, FOR this service
in Yucatan.
The bill was twice read and Mr.. Hannegan
moved that it be made the special order for TO.
morrow.
Mr.. Calhoun thought the day named loo early,
more time should be given for reflection. He
proposed Monday next.
Mr.. flanagan said it was important that this
bill should be acted upon without delay. A day
or an hour might be productive Of calamitous con.
sequences to the people Of Yucatan. He had
seen letters from Lieut.. Murray Mason, now in
the Gulf stating that the whole coast was darken.
ed with women and children, without food or
clothing.
Mr.. Cass was in favor OF prompt action. Never
better occasion presented to vindicate before the
world the character Of the nation.
Mr.. Foote expressed his strongest surprise at
The effort to procrastlnate action on this bill The
Senate, he said, appeared to be DIVIDED into two
classes One were for speedy action-the other
small he hoped for delaying action at least for a
limited time. He regretted that there should be
any hesitation on a question involving the honor
oil the nation, and he regretted the source from
which that opposition came. The Senator from
South Carolina, when the message was received
mad IN an exnl,ng manner, denounced the 20
'lions assumed. by the message, and made some
what extended speech most urInd towards The
admnstrstion-s speech which he had no reason

SETTLED AT LAST.

According TO previous arrangement, last
Saturday was the day set apart by the
democrats, for the selection of a candidate
for the office Of Sheriff. On Monday, af.
ter the vote of the different Townships
had been ascertained, Mr.. N. G. Elliott
was declared to be the nominee, he having
received majority of ,hirty-one votes on
the first ballot, over all the other candi-
dates. There are now but two candidates
in the field for this Office, wing and dem.
ocrat, and they are both men who have
many warm personal friends. The par.
ties being nearly equally divided in this
county, the contest between the two can.
didates will be close, and it is necessary TO
insure success, that the wings should be en-
tirely united, and if such is the case thro'.
out the county, our opinion is, that the GER
tain defeat of the democratic candidate
will be the result

showing the condition OF the while population Of
Yucatan, and expressed his wish that the question
should at once be taken on his motion.
Mr.. Miles followed. He was wholly unpre.
pared to act now, upon bill involving such
great principle principles entirely new, he de
sired time 10 examine the documents. 1t was not
merely bill involving the question, Of aaording
temporary relief, but one of far greater and more
vital importance connected with the policy of the
country. He was not disposed 10 act under the
"whip and spur"-they should not act without
giving the bjoct all the consideration which its
importance demands.
The question was ;hen taken successfully on
motion to postpone until Saturday, and until
Monday, and rejected. Mr.. Hannegan's motion
then prevailed, and this bill was made the special
order for TO- morrow.

MILITARY PRECAUTIONS IN DUBLIN,

MILITARY PRECAUTIONS IN DUBLIN
A correspondent of the Tribune writes
from Dublin of the military precautions
adopted in Dublin: "The whole Island is
calm, ominously so, yet the country is brist.
ling with bayonets and gorgeous with
uniforms. In Dublin alone there are TO-.
900 soldiers. A blockading squadron sur.
rounds our harbors; the Targus fleet has
found service nearer home, and every bar.
rack in the island is provisioned and NUM-
toned for siege; while in the heart OF
the city stands Dublin Castle, for,ress.like,
garrisoned, fortified and armed with can.
non. The drums beat to arms through the
night; the soldiers turn out and practice
firing through the streets, and during the
day they parade the metropolis with fixed
bayonets. Would not one imagine we
were at war, and that foreign power held
possession of our capital"

SATURDAY, MAY 20, 1913.

DTIt is our painful duty to announce
the very sudden and unexpected death Of
JAMES r. BENSON, Esq, late one of the
editors and proprietors of this paper. For
a length of time, as is known to our read
ers, disease was slowly but surely fastening
on his system, until, few weeks ago, he
felt il his duty to disconnect himself from
business, and retire from the active pur-
suits of life. On Monday evening last de-
string to visit friend he ordered his buggy
for that purpose, but on arriving at his
door, and while in his scat, swooned and
fell, lifeless corpse, passing from this TO
another state of existence, without strug-
gle or groan--his counienance, even in the
agony of death, manifesting no contortion
or pain. Mr. Benson was a native of
Reading, Pennsylvania, was born the 18th
Of September, 1918, and settled in this
place near ten years ago, where he has
earned a reputation which will long survive
him. No gentleman, we are sure, enjoyed
more of individual confidence and esteem,
and none more deserved it. In his pecu-
mary transactions, he was scrupulousy
faithful-n his private intercourse, mild
and respectful--in his attachments, faith.
full and frm-but the great point in his
life and character, which stood in front of
every other quality, was gratitude for
friendship and favors, and strong desire
10 cancel all his personal obligations, But
he is gone, and of the manly form of our
friend, which gradually sunk into shad-
ow, nothing remains but the bright exam
pie of well spent life. On Tuesday, his
remains were followed to the grave by a
very large number of citizens, the socie-
ties of Odd Fellows, (of which order he
was membcy) Free Masons, and Sons of
Temperance, uniting in the procession.

who was recently nominated by Wing
Convention for the Office of Representa-

nomination. In sensible and patriotic
address to the people, he assigns the rea-
son for his condnct--the principle of which
was desire TO harmonic thoroughly the
party in the county, so as to preserve the
majority which Old Monroe turns out for
the Wings.

Colonization.

In the House of Representatives, Monday the 18th
Mr.. GEO. w. LANE. being called upon by the
Speaker, rose and stated that he had joint resolution
be had been trying for some time to get an opportunity
of introducing, and with the of the House,
he would read it. Consent having been given, Nh.
Lane read as follows:
A JOINT RESOLUTION, asking the aid of The
General Government for the American Colonization
Society:
Whereas, while we deplore the existence Of slavery
in some of our sister States, not only as moral
cia and political evil, but incompatible with the
sacred principles Of civil and religious liberty upon
which our Government rests and look upon il as q
dark spot which impairs the otherwise beautiful pic
ture OF freedom which our country presents to the
world we claim no right and feel desire to inter-
ere or intermedde with the institution exists
the Slave States. trusting that the day not far dis
tant when the evil will be removed by those who are
most deeply involved in its consequences,-we are not
however, insensbe TO the difficulties with which any
plan of negro emancipation is beset; yet we hail
with pleasure the growing influence of the American
Colonization Society in It's noble scheme of removing
those that free, to the land of their orefahers
and giving to the heretofore oppressed a home and
country that they call their own, and thereby
plant own free institutions in territory hitherto
enveloped in the most repulslve barbarism.
.4Hd t0hereaS, while should rejoice in the uni
that Indiana shall be made the receptacle of the
manumied negroes Of other States, their color and
character would forbid political and social equality,
and their migration here could but be injurious 10
and detrimental 10 them.
And, UhereaS, there are numerous persons that
would emancipae their slaves, if the means were pro-
vided 10 remove them from the country; and in the
opinion of this Legislature the General Government
could in way eectually aid in the extinction
of the evils alluded to- than by assisting the Culoni-
zatiOn Society in Its philanhopic plan of transport
ing the colored man to Liberia. therefore,
Be 1t resOlred By The General Assembly Of the State
of Indiana, That Senators be instructed, and
Representatives requested TO aid the American Colo
nizaon Society in their great undertaking, by urging
the passage of law requiring the Government of the
United States to furnish transportation, free of cost
to all persons of color that may apply through said
Society. to be removed to the Republic of Liberia.
RESOLVED, That the Governor be requested to for.
