Another grand excursion is set on foot

week carried at least ten thOusend people

this portion of the State came with anv

Efforts will be made TO induce the immi,

in the way of small crops and

and horses. The cocoa farmers
visited their haciendas in boats, try

been left on the trees. They had
to go armed, in order to protect
themselves against the immense
snakes which had gathered in the
branches of the trees, having been

NAUGHTY ACKLEN
Has Got Himself in Trouble Again.
TCincinnati Gazette


[Cincinnati Gszettel
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-,Congress-
man Acklen, of Louisiana, the hero
of several adventures, has now been
detected in novel enterprise which
came near getting him into serious
trouble. During the whole of the
last Congress he was particularly
interested in obtaining action by the
Committee on Foreign Affairs on
some Nicaragua claims, and urged
the matter with great pertinacity,
although unsuceessfully. He has
renewed his solicitation with the
same Committee in this Congress,
but nothing further was done about
it than to submit the case to Mr..
King, of Louisiana, a member of
the Committee, for consideration.
During Mr.. Kings absence from
the city, Mr.. Acklen had the eff
frontery to submit to the House
what purported to be favorable
report by the Committee on Fors
eign Affairs in this business. Mr..
King, upon his return, discovered
what had been done, and brought
the subject before the Committee at
its meeting this morning. He and
all other members of the Committee
were naturally indignant at this
unheard of proceeding, and it was
seriously considered whether Ack-
lens conduct ought not to be re>
ported to the House, with a recom~
mendation that exemplary notice
be taken of it. 1t was, however,
the opinion of some that it would
be better not to dignity Acklen by
such proceedings, but to consider
that he must have been prompted
by his own folly, for it was i'm
probable that any sensible man
would have taken a course SO GER
tain to operate to the prejudice of
his interests and the interests of
those whom he desired to serve.
Acklen was, however, requiredby
King to secure the withdrawal Of
the spurious report from the House
files, which he did to-day, in a
manner SO confusing that probably
few understood just what was bes
ing done.
