REPUBLICAN, SENATORIAL CAUCUS.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5. The Republican
Senators held a brief caucus after ad
journment and unanimously agreed tc
support Edmonds' resolution providing
for continuing the committees. 1t was
shown that Pugh's amendment propos
ing to confer the authority upon the
President of the Senate. to divide the com
mittees equally, cannot be adopted, even il
Judge Davis should be willing to vote
upon the question and vote aff1rmatively
For the Republicans, reinforced by Malone
can cast 36 votes against it and the demo
Gratis will have only 3S votes if the presi-
dent of the senate votes with them. Con
fidence was also expressed that Judge Da-
Wis will not vote against the adoption of
Edwards resolution, and unless he so votes,
or unless the democrats prevent action up
on it by dilatory proceedings, it will be
adopted and the work of the committees
may be commenced in few days. The
question of attempting to procure a new
election of senate officers was not men
toned in the caucus.

civilians, who are to inquire into relative
effects upon the industries of the country

SIR GARNET WOLSEY.

LONDON, Dec. 5.-An official announce
ment from the war office says that when
Sir Garnet Wolsey succeeds to the adjutant
generalship in April, he will, like his pre-
decessors, transact business under the au-
thority and responsibility of commander in
chief, who is the military adviser of the
secretary of state. This is apparently put
forth to settle the rumors that the Duke of
Cambridge is hostile to Gen Woisey's
appointment and that the government in
tends that Gen. Wolsey shall enforce
changes in the army to which the Duke OF
Cambridge is opposed.

rRANCo.AHERICAN CoMMERcE.

Pans, Dec. 6.-Rouvier, Minister of
Commerce, to-day cordially received the
French committee for furthering the Fran
co American treaty of commerce. He de-
clared his readiness to withdraw the
Tirards decree concerning American pork,
if the Americans would institute a trust
worthy system of inspection. In reference
to the appointment of negotiating commits
sioners, he said that he recognized that as
soon as the treaties now under discussion
were concluded, the French Chambers
ought to respond to the action of the
American Congress by taking the initiative
relative to the appointment of commission

THE GnAIy TRADE.

LONDON, Dec. 5.-The Mark Lane Es-
press says: Young wheat continues to look

to arrive in very poor condition and they
meet with increasingly difficult sales. In
ferior wheats everywhere are cheaper.
Usual sorts. however, are so scarce that
they maintain recent rates. Flour is rath-

regularly cheaper, while others maintained
prices. Home grown barley was very much
depressed and prices are dropping Trade
in foreign breadstuffs is very slow and
there was nothing doing up to Wednesday.

The Mission Church OF San Xavier at
Tucson, Arizona.

In 1890 the Jesuit Missionaries who
had established missions in the country
OF New Spain, now known as the State
of Shiaioa, Mexico, gradually extended
their sphere OF labOrs northward into
the rich and fertile country of Sonora.
Commanding the labor of the Indian
races, they erected commodious and
comfortable buildings, worked the rich
silver mines, whose products went to
decorate their temples and purchase
luxuries in Spain. tended the immense
herds OF cattle, and dug the canals which
made the desert blossom as the rose.
In the year 1890 they had established a
foothold at Gueyavi on the line of Ari-
zona and the State of Sonora, and two
years later they pushed up the Santa
Cruz valley and established the Mission
OF San Xavier del Bac, the word bac
meaning, in the native tongue. water

Cedar Pencil Making.

From the forests Of Florida the tim
Der is received in roughly-squared logs
about fifteen feet in length and eighteen
inches square. After being opened
that is, sawn into pieces by an ordinary
double-handed saw-in the saw-pit, the
timber is allowed to season. This
period of probation being passed, the
LOGS enter the wood-cutting room. Here
the timber is cut up into the required
lengths and thicknesses by circular
saws, but as they cannot be relied upon
to produce absolutely true surfaces, the
"leaves," as they are termed, are
passed under a thicknessing or planning
machine. which reduces them to a per-
fectlv uniform size. From this room
the "leaves" pass a second wOod-cut-
TING room, where following their prog
ress, we find them again sawn up into
slips or scantlings and which are technic-
allv termed tops and bottoms" "
The latter is the portion into which,
after being grooved, the lead is insert
ed. while the former is the covering
that protects it, the one slip being just
half the thickness Of the other. The
operation of cutting the tops and
"bottoms'' and growing are performed
by little machines running at the almost
inconceivabe speed of 1000 revolutions
per minute. The groove cut CORE
spends exactly to the size of the stick
Of lead to be inserted. From this de-
partment the cedar slip are passed on
to the &C filling in room, where, when
one operator inserts the lead, another
Clues the "tops" on. The gluing up"
operation being performed, the pencils
are placed in frame and tightly
screwed into position When firm and
dry they are placed in clump gross
at time and cut of by means of cir
cular saw, in order to make the pencils
one uniform length. The next opera
ton is the rounding of each pencil and
the marvellous ease, precision and reg
ularity with which this is performed
renders it one of the most beautiful in
the entire manufacture. The square
pencil is inserted in a small machine
containing a rounded chuck running at
a high rate of speed. Before the eye
can seize all the details of the process
