Special Dispatch 10 The Appeal
WAsnINGroN, Jan. i2.-It developed

the vcrifcation OF Il when the House met,
was genuine surprise. An agreement

. and Speaker Carlisle, and It's terms were
kept secret, not only from the Rcpubli.

them for information Il WIS said merely
that the agreement would give the Okla
homa bill chance. When the House met
today Gen. Weaver merely ceased to lili-
buster and business was taken up as II
nothing had ever been the matter. Then

ters-Ibe IarfH NH.

WAsuISGToN, Jan. ~. Il House. Great
secrecy was preserved as 10 the basis oi
compromise, Mr.. Weaver merely stating
that II was satisfactory 10 the friends OF the
Oklahoma bill. The journal having been
read, the Speaker presented various exec.
utiyc documents for appropriate reference.
The Speaker appointed Mr.. Clardy, Of
Missouri; Mr.. Raynor, OF Maryland, and
Mr.. o Neill, Of Pennsylvania, oonicrrces on
the Nicaragua Canal bill.
Mr.. Weaver then came forward with the
flag OF truce In the shape Of declaration
that he would refrain from making any
dlatOry motions until he heard from the
Committee on Rules.
The House observation-disclosures, lil; nays,
6S-to consider the pension bill, which,
after brief debate, was passed.
The House then went into a Committee
Of the Whole, Mr.. Cox. Of New York, in
the chair. on general appropriation bills.
Mr. McAdoo, OF New jersey, said that
lac could not allow the bill 10 pass without
emphasizing what he considered 10 be the
popular demand for abolishing United
States Ministers abroad. One Of the great
countries Of Europe was unrcprcsenicd 10y
n minister in this country.
The British Government had RETAINED
from sending minister 10 Washington for
the purpose OF rescnting what II con
sidcrcd to be an insult. Ninoty.nino per
cent. OF our people did not know nor care
whether England sent minister or not,
and the interests Of the United States
would not suffer " Il all not send min.
lister 10 England or anywhere else. II was
a most absurd thing, 10 his mind. that the
United States should send ministers "a

NOT A GREAT STATE PAPER.

The Reno Gazette, (Rep.) makes
the following comments on the Presi-
dents message:
The President has relieved himself
Of his message, but 10 say that it is a
great State paper would be paying
the Chief Executive an undeserved
compliment. He touches on our
relation with China in Mandy -pamby
kind Of way and says there are some
questions open which Congress
should now approve in that wise and
just spirit which should characterize
the relation Of two great and friendly
powers" but he goes 30 far as to say
that further immigration from the
Flowery Kingdom is undesirable.
While he acknowledged that he has
nSt.been able to give the silver ques-
ton "but hasty examination, owing
to the press Of other matters and to
the fact that it has been so recently
formulated" he ventures an opinion
that disastrous results would follow
any considerable increase Of the pres
emit rate Of coinage. He thinks un-
limited coinage would be discredit-
able to our financial management and
disastrous to all business interests
While he has tried 10 clothe his Lam
guage 80 that he will not antagonize
the silver men, bis enmity to that
metal crops out in every line. 1t is
not great State paper.

outline Of man moving about, we raised
our piece and fired. Judging from the
shrill sounds of distress that followed
-we think we must have hit our man. He
bolted, however, before we could inanire
with another shot.
Early this morning, as we were pass

was eating his breakfast from off his

much cbeerincss into his "good morn
