IN A PALACE CAR WITH A BUFFET.
Mr.. MorrilI's Idea of the Proposed
Trip to Mexico.
How Baby Mckee Summoned the
White House Servants.
The Men Who VIII Co to the Con-
fererce In the German Capitol.

WASHINGTON, March 14.-While the SEN
ate was sitting with closed doors today, Mr..
Gibson's resolution was taken up for the ap-
pointment of select committee Of seven
Senators on the relations of the United
States with Mexico and Central America
Mr.. Gibson spoke in support Of it.
Mr.. Morrill, expressed the hope that If
such a committee was appointed the Chair
would not forget him, as he would like to
make trip to Mexico in palace car with
buffet. If the matter was to be considered
committee, it should be either by the COM
mittee on commerce or finance. He hoped
the resolution would be referred to one Of
these committees.
Mr. Platt recognized the Importance of
cultivating friendly relations Of a CONNER
cial character with Mexico and the South
American States and favored the reference
of all such resolutions TO appropriate COM
mittees. He thought ID bad policy to depart
from that rule in any case, and moved the
reference Of the resolution to the committee
on commerce.
Mr.. Reagan advocated the adoption of the
resolution, and Mr.. Call also favored its
adoption and opposed the motion Of refer
ence. He also advocated Indirectly his own
for Cuba and the West India islands. The
question Of the annexation or the acquisi-
ti0n of the island Of Cuba was. he said,
present to the mind Of large portion Of the
people of the United States.
Mr.. Hale objected to further consideration
of the subject, and at 500 the Senate ad-
journed until Monday.

CALLED UP BY BABY M'KEE.
The Presidents crandchIId Hastily
Summons an Army of Clerks.

WASHINGTON, March 14-Baby Mckee
has been creating sensation at the White
House, not because of any desire to make
mischief, it should be said, but simply be-
cause of his inexperience in public affairs
As has been repeatedly announced in the
newspapers, the President Of the United
States is fond of Baby Mckee, and Baby
Mckee is fond of the President Of the Uni
ted States. These profound sentiments Of
distinguished consideration being fully re-
ciprocated, Baby Mckee is allowed more
liberty with the head of this government
than the ordinary Office seeker, or even
member Of the Cabinet, among which may
be included the privilege of entering the
library of the President at all times and
wandering about at his own sweet will
There are on the desk of the President
the desk presented him by Queen Victoria
and made out of the timbers of the ship Res
0lute, which brought from the Arctics the
remains of the Sir John Franklin expedi-
tion-a series OF ivory keys, which connect
with electric bells in different parts of the
building, so that the President can summon
his secretaries and attendants any time.
One Of these six keys calls the private sec
retary, another the executive secretary, and
the telephone man, the messenger, the door
keeper and so on. All Of these officers in
fact, almost every member Of the official
staff Of the White House rushed to the Pres
idents room in frantic haste yesterday after
noon, not knowing whether the President
had been assassinated or not, but suspecting
that the worst had happend, because of the
violent and continuous ringing of these
bells.
But it was only Baby Mckee who was
merrily pounding on them. The baby did
not have any particular use for the secreta-
ries and other clerks and they were soon
dismissed.

LOTS OF WORK
Mapped Out for the Government by
Some Minnesota Resolutions.

ST. PAUL, March 14.-In the State legis
lature yesterday resolution was introduced
by Speaker Graves relating to the foreign
policy of the general government. The pre-
amble recites that, whereas. the cause of
patriotism is advanced by the knowledge tha
the national flag is seen all over the world
that the time is ripe for the commerce of the
eastern nations to move westward to and
through the United States; therefore, the
legislature resolves that the general govern
ment should adopt vigorous foreign policy;
that the United States should compete for
the commerce of the world; that money
should be appropriated from the Federal
treasury for the construction and operation
of steamship lines from New York to Euro
pean ports, and to South American ports;
also from San Francisco and Tacoma to
Japan and Australia. 1t is resolved also
that the sea-coast Notifications should be
strengthened and multiplied; that the treaty
rights of the United States should be pre-
served, and that there is cause for deep solic-
itude with regard to the acts of the German
Empire in the matter of the late Samoan af-
fairs, inasmuch as the blow of the Germans
seems to be aimed at the commerce of the
United States and not at the savages of the
Samoan Islands. The representatives of tine
State in Congress are Instructed to use their
influence in carrying out the suggestion of
the resolutions

PARIS, March 14.--In the Senate today, NJ.
Naquet said he would not defend himself
from the charges brought against him in
connection with the Patriotic League. be-
cause, first, he knew the Chamber had con-
demned him beforehand, and second, the
party to which he belonged never appealed
except to universal suffrage. He expressed
confidence in the integrity of the judges who
are to try him. The Senate, 2lS to IS, sane
toned the prosecution of NJ. Naquet.
In the Chamber of Deputies, III. Arene,
amid noisy interruptions from the members
of the Right. read the report Of the commit
tee appointed to consider the charges against
Laguerre, Laisant and Turquet. The report
favored the prosecution of the accused depu-
ties.
NJ. Seyastre declared the proposal showed
the imbecility of its authors. For this remark
Nj. Sevastre was severely censured by the
President of the Chamber.
M. Laguerre addressed the Chamber. He
denied that the League was a secret society.
The real conspirators were those who re-
belled against universal suffrage. This
clique had seized the government. Uniyer-
sal suffrage would have the last word.
Gen. Boulanger rose. crossing his arms de-
family, and regarded the majority. An up
roar ensued, during which M. THESE was
censured for apostrophizing the President
and government.
Paul de Cassagnac defed the Chamber to
prosecute M. Boulanger. The debate W as
clotured, 318 to 214, and the Chamber, 334 to
227, authorized the government to pr0sec ute
the accused deputies. The sitting then ad-
journed.
As result of the heated debate, duels are
imminent between MN. Arene and Provost

EARMINcron's FORGERY CASE.
Two Suits involving a Number Of Le-
gal Questions.

FARMINGToN. March 16.-The case of
State VS.. George w. Russell for forgery and
uttering forged paper came up in the Su-
preme Court today. Owing to the absence
by sickness of one of the firm OF Oliver
Ames q Sons of Massachusetts, material
witness for the government the Indictment
for forgery was continued. The indictm ment
foruttering forged paper was also continued.
1t is claimed by the defense that the latter
Indictment is defective in that the foreman
of the grand jury which presented the in
dictment is director in the Sandy River
National Bank, where the forged paper was
uttered Another development in this case
has been suits brought at this term by the
National Bank against Gilbert Miller and
Jacob Holmes of Wilton, respectively, as
sureties on a note dated March "a, 1888, for
$1,000, which was discounted two days later
and $500 endorsed thereon This note was
given up July 9. 1888, when a new note for
$1,000. purporting to have been signed by the
same suretes was discounted by Russell 1t
Is alleged the latter note was forged and
this suit is brought on the original note,
which Is admitted to have been genuine.
Evidence was taken this afternoon and will
be reported to the law court. The action
against Holmes was continued to await the
result in this case. Both juries were dis
charged finally this afternoon.
