During the discussion over the Caldwell

not acted on at this session there was inn

in that state. In view, therefore, Of the

The Caldwell case was postponed.

The Louisiana Question i'm the Senate.
WASHINGTON, February %. - The
Louisiana question is up. Mr.. Trumbull
is is making terribly denunciatory speech.
The question comes up in peculiar man
ner, not involving the point at issue. but
under the agricultural college bill aues-
ton being that no money should be given
to Louisiana to be held by the usurping
government.
The discussion will be long, and at pres
ent involves Kellogg's government, which |
Mr.. Carpenter asserts and Mr.. Morton adj |
nlts in colloquy, could not stand five min
ltes without federal support. The dis
,ussion, however, will lead to no positive
eglslation. 1t is simply declaration, and
me issue is whether Louisiana shall be
stricken from the states to which the COL
eye money shall be given.
