The Republican Senators have agreed 10 a
resolution endorsing the course OF the President
ing Kellogg as de fdcto governor OF the state. A
resolution embracing these declarations will be Of
fered and undoubtedly passed during the week.
The Senate will not commit itself 10 an avowal
that the Kellogg government is the de jure govern
ment OF Louisiana. and while many. and perhaps q
majority. believe with the President that Kellogg
has more right than McEnery 20 be governor Of the
State they are not willing. npon the evidence 70 say
so.
The House debated the civil rights bill Feb. 4.
Speeches we're made by a good many members, but
the notable one was by Brown fDsWl OF Kentucky,
in which be made q fierce and fighting attack on
Butler, whom he by inuendo denounced as n murder
er, adding thereto that he (Butler) is "ipusillani-

and Infamous in politics. The Hovse refused %

TO prevent the needed two-thirds vote. But the reso-
luton was passed--16l 20 79-after the House had
heard some further bullying language from BroNn,

The pretty little maid of honor whom the Grand
Duke Alexis married all unbeknownst 10 the old
folks. appears 70 be as spnnky as she IL beautiful.
Alexis, 1t will be remembered. was sent 10 Ameri-
ca that be might forget her. but while that plan
cured the Grand Duke IL sdidn't appeaSs his bride,
who was sent out Of the Empire by special train.
She went to Geneva. and recently Il appears that
CouHt Shouvaloh was sent n treat with her. IL
was proposed that she should renounce all claim
to the hand Of Alexis. change her name and disap-
pear. In return for this service she would receive
1000 900 roubles down, and an annuity Of 70. Oe0
roubles, which would be continued to her child In
case the latter survived her but Mrs. Alexis
wouldn't do 1t. She loved Alexis too much for
that, and so matters stand at present.

TIE movement for declaring Prince Alfonso
King Of Spain. appears to have been planned by
who some time ago announced to Marshal Serrano
his intention of having Alfonso declared King.
Serrano tried. it 10 said, to dissuade Rivera from
his course; the latter said be conld see no other soIu-
lion to the troubles which had come upon Spain.
Serrano then visited The Army or the North, but
be found there only Generals who were disposed
to proclaim Don Alfonso and not to eight for his
success. Three batialions of Murveidro, under
Martinez Campos, precipitAted events by declaring
