and put it in his pocket feeling all the
time that he was doing what was lust
and proper between himself and the
people.
In the Democratic caucus the name
of Hon. S. s Cox was presented for
Speaker in opposition to Mr.. Wood.
MIR. Cox be it known opposed the back
pay bill with all his strength and abili-
ty and covered his back pay into the
treasury. But when the vote was
taken Mir. Cox was found to be sadly

posed that we can SO easily walk

no child's play, but would prove a
bloody struggle. She is better pre-
pared for contest than is generally
supposed. Her army numbers over

The Navy of Spain consists of ITO
vessels carrying 1908 guns, besides
80 gunboats armed with 100 pound

is equal to that of England, number

educated officers. Her feet consists
of iron clads. and she has paid no

Bishop Armitase died from the
efforts Of tumor in the region of the
