Pistols and IA hives Drawn In open
 Session.
 AUSTIN, Tex, March 15.-An extraordina- " and exciting scene occurred in the Texas Senate yesterday and for time a free fight seemed imminent. Pistols and knives were drawn and but for the timely entrance of Lieutenant Governor Gibbs bloody scene would doubtless have ensued The Senate had under discussion bill abolishing the office of commissioner of insurance, statistics and history. Senator Houston, of Be1sr county, warmly opposed the adoption of the bill, while Senator Davis, of Cook county favored it. Hot blood had previously. been engendered between these two Senators in the discussion of the gambling bill last Thursday, when Davis denounced the oppo- nents of the bill, who were led by Senator Houston, as a "pack of drunken fools. " Houston caustically rejoined that the author of the assertion was "a liar" Senators and bystanders instantly interfered and the af- fair pacifcally adjusted for the time being. Yesterday in a discussion between the two Senators it again broke forth with a renewed bitterness and intensity that for time paralyzed Senators and spectators. Houston in the course of his re- marks characterized Davis as the s'scotfer 3 Davis in rejoinder remarked that Houston was trying to overpower him with his ''tur- key-gobbler strut" and bitterly criticised Houston's legislative record. Houston then referred to Davis as flank, scrawny, stalk ing, dyspeptic, jaundiced thing that took oc- casion to carp at everything not ordained to suit him." This opened the music in earnest. t'Coward, 'scur," s'liar,'' etc., were bandied back and forth and the Sen ate became bear garden. Houston finally walked into the lobby. inviting Davis | to follow. Davis replied that he did not leave home to fight blackguard. Any gen tleman could get such an opportunity in any town in Texas; that if Houston wanted to fight he knew where to fight him. Better counsel at last prevailed, both gentlemen apologized to the Senate for their unseemly | conduct and for the nonce all is serene But | those who know the two men fear tragic ending, as both belligerents are high strung and of unquestioned courage. Either od them would shoot at the drop of the hand | kerchief.

OTTAWA, March b. The government is considering scheme to fit out number of armed schoeners to watch the fishing grounds of the maritime provinces and prevent Amer can fishermen from taking fish in Canadian waters It is thought that steamers would be of little use for this purpose as their movements could be watched and American vessels trespassing would be able to get out side the three mile limit before steamer could overhaul them. The proposal there fore is to arm and equip number of schoon- CTS which Americans will be unable to dis tinguish from ordinary fishing crafts.

He ignored the question "Does Russia wish war ?' but admitted that his government was massing troops on the Afghan frontier. This of course she had perfect right to do as long as foreign terri tory was not invaded. He denied that he had been entrusted with a special mission to London and said that his visit, while it was, of course, official, bad no connection with the Afghan dispute.

The Use of Ivy Against the Walls O1
 BWelIings.

From Land and Waterl
 We have frequently heard it maintained that it is injurious and unwise to permit ivy to cover the walls of dwelling houses, as it must necessarily occasion an internal damp, preju- dicial to human health and comfort, by ar resting the rain, and conducting it into the crevices of the walls, detaining it there until it oozes through the occasion such injurious dampness as it must be most desirable to pre-
 vent even at the expense of sacrificing such an ornamental covering as 8 luxuriant and evergreen or variegated ivy. Now experience and reason testify to the very opposite of
 this, and they are found boldly asserting that
 no covering whatever is better to be calcu-
 lated or more powerfully and uniformly
 tends to effect the desirable object of keeping
 the walls of house dry, both internally and
 externally, than general coat of ivy on the
 outside. Let anyone examine an ivy covered
 wall, one over another, from the highest
 point to which the plant attains to the
 ground, forming an ornamental shield that casts off the rain and prevents it's beating
 against the wall, conveying it from leaf to
 leaf downward, preventing it's ever coming
 in contact with or moistening the walls; while the clinging nature of the plant, in tended for the purpose of adhesion, thrusts it's shoots into the crevices as roots and clasp CTS, according as it ascends, and acts as so many sucking engines, extracting and draw ing away for the nourishment of it's own lux uriance, whatever moisture the walls may be supposed te attract or imbibe from the at i mosphere. No walls are dryer, or so dry, as those to which ivy forms permanent exter- nal covering. Inside the shoots and next the wall will be found, in addition, 8 coating of dust and cobwebs, keeping the walls per fectly dry in the wettest of weather, and that, too, on aspects mostly exposed to the rain and least to the cheering smiles of the sun. Depend upon it, ivy clinging against wall 1 is protector from damp, not a cause of it.
 Let our readers plant ivy against their dwell 1 ings without any fear of incoavenient results. 1 It is warmth-gixing agent also, as many can testify. The old prejudice against the l employment of ivy an external covering
 to buildings is rapidly dying out, and will at ! no distant date cease to be put forward as | worthy attention.

A Priest suspended For a Book.

NEW YORK, March 15.-It became known yesterday that Father Patrick Corrigan, pas tor of the Church of Our Lady of Grace in Willow street, Hoboken, had been suspended by Bishop Wigger of Newark. The period of the suspension is said to be only two weeks, beginning last Tuesday.
 The cause of the Bishops action is book entitled Bishop and Priest" written by Father Corrigan, who advanced in it the ar gument that priests should have voice in selecting bishops, as they do in Ireland and other Catholic countries. The book gave rise to controversy. After affording Father Corrigan an opportunity of defending him self Bishop Wigger rebuked him and caused the stereotype plates to be destroyed. Last fall Father Corriga11 modified the passages of the book which wefe most displeasing to the bishop and published new edition in 1tal- ian, although the bishop opposed the Iepub- lication. It was circulated at Rome and is said to have obtained the approval of Cardi- nal Jaeobini. Although the second edition was issued last fall it was not until Tuesday that Bishop Wigger took action.
 Father Corrigan refused Yesterday to say anything in regard to his suspension. His church is one of the handsomest i'll HoEoken and was built through his efforts.
