at eleven inches below the highest
recorded point. The water on the

terrible suffering have been received

Hundreds OF families are without

must follow. A gentleman just ar

The idea was to secure the title

royalty from the production. Amer

of stock we're to be distributed among
slarge number of leading politicians,
who were to contribute 20 the pros
perity of the enterprise by assisting IN
shaping the foreign policy OF this
country in certain channels. The
manager presented the matter for the
consideration of certain Senators and
endeavored to show that the enter
prise was legitimate, and above all,
would be profitable. Bolivia wai
represented as being ready to give a
sufficient guarantee on her part, the
inducement being twofold-frst, the
royalty from now idle mines. and
second, the protection of the United
States under cover Of preserving the
rights of its citizens within the terri

The Vote 10 Retire Grant

WASHINGTON, February 23.-The
vote in the Senate to-day upon the
bill to place Grant upon the retire
ed list of the army was not strictly
party vote, some Northern and some
Southern Senators of both parties
voting for it. The desire of the South
ern Senators who voted for it was to
show by this vote,as they endeaVora
ed to show by many other votes
notably by the voths for pensions to
Union soldiers-their cordial reeog-
nitlon OF a restored Union and their
willingness to pay tribute of even
disputed proprletY to the most dis.
tinguished soldier of the Union
armies. The contempt IN which Mr..
Hayes is held by the members of
his own party was shown by the
Senate's scornful rejection of the
amendment offered by Mr.. Bayard.
1t might have been mere sensible
and more Senatorial to deal with the
question from the national and not
from the personal point of view.
The vote in detail was as follows; Yeas
