LBr TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.l
WASHINGTON. Dec. 1G.-A nice little rivalry has
sprung up between the House Committee on Foreign
Affairs and that on Military Affairs, in regard 20 the
Jurisdiction of tho subject Of MEXICAN border
troubles.
The resolution reported from the Committee
on Ways and Means, distributing the subjects
of the Presidents message to the several
committees of the House. gave to the Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs those passages OF
the message concerning tie relations Of the
Government with Mexico. Mr.. Hewitts amendment
greatly extended the jurisdiction Of the committed
A resolution offered by Mr.. Mills, Of Texas, directing
the Committee on Military Affairs to inquire IN re-
gard TO the necessity for military protection on the
border gave that committee sort Of jurisdiction,
though a very limited one
Both committees were anxious to obtain from the
House permission 10 send for persons and papers;
and when it became apparent yesterday that the
general resolution authorizing sixteen committees OF
the House to investigate during the recess could not
be passed. Mr. Mills proposed that its consldeTa-
ton be postponed until the 10th of January,
in order that General Banning, Chairman OF
the Committee on Military Affairs might
offer a resolution authorizing his committee to send
for persons and papers and to visit the Rio GraHde
frontier But Slr. Schlecher. Of the Committee on
Foreign Affairs, was too sharp for him. After Sr
Mills bad secured the first point and opened the door
for new business, NJ Schlocher was recognized III
stead Of General Banning, and his reso-
luton giving permission 10 the Coihmltteo
ON Foreign Affairs 10 send for persons and papers
was adopted by unanimous consent. When tho
Military COMMITTEE asked for the same privilege,
the Republicans thought one investigation OF tlat
kind was sufficient. and several objections were
made. The most important inquiries on TINS sub
ject therefore, will be made 10y the Committee on
Foreign A.iairs. Both committees are likely TO mona
sessions during The recess. The Foreign Committee
will send for the United States diplomatic agents
stationed along the Rio Grande, ana possibly Tor
Minister Foster.

of toilsome investigation.
In this age no one has time to grope among the Thousand
and one different works for every fact required, even If the
volumes stand on his shelves; while with a CycIopadia, the
matter in question is found at once, digested, condensed,
stripped of all that is irrelevant. and verified by a comparison
of the best authorities. Moreover, this compilation has been
nerformed by special writer's, who are the highest authorities
upon the subjects With which they deal; SO that this work is
the epitome and ultimatum of all knowledge, and precludes
the necessity of having other books You are probably spend
