1T is singular fact says the
Shreveport Times, THAT on the night
Of the recent fire, persons ut Bellevue,
twenty three miles east of here. dis
tiuctly heard the steam fire engines.
and Mr. George ColQuitt, who lives
nine miles west, says he heard them
as distinctly as if he had been within
n few hundred yards of them. The
atmosphere must have been in pc
sculiar condition to have conveyed so
compalativel, light a sound to such
distances, and too, IN opposite diIec-
tons. This recalls an incident that
occurred when the writer was a boy.
In those days the 'scapement' of a
steamer was very much louder than
now. The village of Lewisville, Ar
kansas. is about seven miles from
the river. One night every person
on the place, sleepy headed negroes
and all, were awakened by the puff
ing of an ascending steamer, and,
really, the sound did not seem hun
bred yards distant"

"The judges are called upon to en-
pound the law, but when that law is
clear and ambiguous they cannot do

"Whenever the judiciary under

FEATED BY NATIONAL RAEK
Influences.

The greatest part of Tuesday in
the National House of Representatives
was spent in an effort to take up and
pass the funding bill. The struggle
was a long and weary one. Vexa-
tious forms of obstinate and dictatory
resistance were interposed.
Finally the speakers table was
reached and the bill got at; but later
in the day the bill was taken up with
a fair party 10 it's favor and appar-
entity in the majority.
The interest in the bill was very
great. The galleries were full of
sight-seers. The previous question
was ordered by good vote. The
House agreed to many verbal amend
ments. The tilibustering party SEEM
ed to have weakened.
1t wasrumored that Secretary Sher-
man had advised his party friends
that their course was suici. a,l. Ger
tain it is they rcfraincd frlh the ex-
pedients to which they haW resorted
on other occasions. 4
Most OF the Senate amendments
were carried with only formal opposi
ton by the Republicans. Whenever
u division was called. the friends Of
the bills bad large majority. There
was, however, Il serious struggle over
the twenty-hrst amendment of the
Senate, striking out the clause in the
House bill, giving authority to issue
bonds and certificates to carry out
the provisions of the act. The main
question was ordered on this by I2l
to 81. Here Mr. Delamatyr, of Indi-
ana, moved to rccOmmit with direc-
lions to report an amendment author
izing the Secretary Of the Treasury
to issue greenbacks in lieu Of national
bank notes retired.
Mr.. Carlisle argued tnat the mo-
ton was out of order, as the amend
ment was not germane. This point
Of order was sustained, and the green
back amendment went to the bad.
The critical stage in the bill, how
ever, was reached when the vote
came on concurring in the Senate
amendment, OF no great consequence
in brief would be to send the bill back
to the Senate, aud it was doubtful if
there was time to pass it there, Us
two important appropriation bills re-
manned to be acted upon. Strangely
enough, Messrs. Carlisle and Tucker.
the two leading friends Of the bill.
voted with the Republicans to send
the bill back to the Senate. The di-
vision created much excitement. and
the vote was so close that the yeas
and nays We're demanded. The re-
suit was. nays l07. ayes 1913.
At this stage Mr.. Congcr began his
tilihnstering by call for yeas and
nays on the formal motion to recon-
slider and lay on the table. This is
now accepted as proof that the nation
ID bank party, who are strong in the
House, do not mean to let any fund
ing bill pass that does not play INTO
their hands.

We returned from New Orleans too
late to give our readers an account of
all that we saw during the Mardi
Gras festivities. We will do so in
our next, however, after recovering
from the effects of several meetings
with our confreres of the rural press

crowd in the city was never greater,
nor the exhibitions Of Rex and C0mus
more superb. The presence of the
Eastern Militiamen with their excel
lent bands Of music, added much
charm to the displays. The weather
was perfectly delightful, so that moth
ing was lacking to make the Carni-
