Ringing Report Against European En-
croachments on the Isthmus.
WASHINGTON, February 24th. Repre-
sentative McCreary of Kentucky, in behalf
of the majority of the members of the
Committee on Foreign Affairs, has prepared
report recommending the adoption of the
Edmunds Panama Canal resolution. The
report says the resolution comes to the
House after being carefully considered and
almost unanimously adopted by the Senate.
1t reaffirms public policy that is of both
national and international Importance
public policy that has been so intimately
interwoven with treaties, and the teachings
OF the doctrines ard necessities of the
American people, that il seems to have
originated II: the very earliest DAYS of our
republic. The joint resolution under con-
sidersnon is In accordance with the decla-
rations made by Monroe, and appiied tn
existing conditions ard the development OF
events.
After euiogizing the Monroe doctrine the
report says that the doctrine has no limita-
tions, and was not confined to conditions
existing at the time il was announced.
Quotations are made from declarations of
some OF our Presidents and many of our
leading statesmen to show that they have
taken even stronger positions than are
maintained by the resolution under con-
slderation, and objects not only TO Eu-
ropean colonization, or an extension of Eu-
ropean political systems on the American
continent, but to any project which would
giye European Governments q new foot
hold in America.
The joint resolution under considtratio
says the report, simply declares that the

The Governments Legislative Grist-Mili
Grinding Slowly.
WASHINGTON, February 24th.-One week
from tomorrow, at noon, the Fiftieth Con-
gress will cease to exist During the pres
ent week the legislative mill will grind
steadily by night, as well as during the day,
but the grist does not promise to be of great
value. In the House motions to suspend
the rules and pass bills and joint resolu-
tions are in order at any time during the
last six days of the session, and Speaker
Carlisle has long list of names of mem
bers who desire recognition to move their
several bills. Two-thirds, instead of ma
iority, is required to pass bills under sus-
pension of the rules, and there are few
measures of any great importance on the
calendar that can get the requisite number of
votes to succeed.
The Indian and general deficiency ap-
preparation bills must be passed by the
House this week, and that body will also
be required to adopt or reject the confer
ence reports on the several appropriation
bills which have been amended by the
Senate. The international copyright bill
is one which it is hoped can be passed
under suspension of the rules.
Tomorrow it is hoped the general de-
ticiencY appropriation bill may be passed.
On Tuesday the Indian bill will be called
up, and it may be passed under suspension
Of the rules. Mr.. Randall has given
notice that be will call up the reso-
luton fixing Gay for the consideration
of Cowles' internal revenue bill as soon as
the appropriation bills are passed. This
resolution is wOrded so as to prevent fill
bUstering, and to fix an hour for taking the
vote. Should it be adopted it would be
equivalent to the passage of the bill but
Mills, Mcmillan and others say they will
filibuster against the passage of the resolu-
ton, and if they do SO they can probably
prevent vote being reached Randall
may move to pass the Cowles bill under
suspension of the rules, in which event
there could be no fillbustering, but he
would have to obtain a two-thirds maiority
to win.
Most of the time of the Senate this week
will be occupied in the consideration of the
appropriation bills. The resolution pro-
viding for the investigation of Southern
election outrages will probably be aban-
doned. The Democratic Senators are talk
ing on the subject against time, to kill the
proposed investigation, because they believe
the Republicans will not hazard the defeat
of the appropriation bills to carry out the
caucus programme.
The friends of the Oklahoma bill are
growing nervous lest it may fail between
the two houses, although the conference
committee has agreed.
The Senate will remain in executive ses-
sion, after March 4th, as long as may be
necessary to confirm General Harrison s
nominations, but no legislative business
can be transacted, and the length of the
session depends entirely upon the wishes
of the President-eiect.

Constitutional Catarrh

No single disease has entsiled more suffering
or hastened the breaking up of the constitution
than Catarrh. The sense OF smell, of taste, of

throughout the system attacks every vital force

TuLARE, February 23d.-Two men wear
ing masks to the waist boarded a passenger
train at Pixley last night, covered the en-
gineer and fireman with revoivers and or
dered them to keep quiet. About two and
a half miles from Pixley they made the
engineer stop, and, with the fireman, get
out. They threw a bomb under the ex-
press car, shatteriHg the windows, but not
breaking the car. They then made the eu-
gineer, 2. Bolger, and the fireman, c. G..
Elder, ask the messenger to open the door,
which he did. The robbers next compelled
the messenger, j. r. Kelly, to open the
safe and the express box, which they
rifed.
Constable Ed, Bently was on the train
and ran out to ascertain what was the mat
ter. He stopped down to look under the
train and was shot from the opposite side
Several puckshot entered his breast and

eighteen buckshot went in his right arm.

THE OLD SPIRIT.
Northern Professors Insulted by Southern
Studeuts.

CHARLESTON IS. CO., February 24th.-At
the recent Presidential election, much TO
the surprise of everybody. two professors
of the South Carolina College, who had
been recently called to their chairs from
Northern colleges. voted the straight Re-
publican ticket. The students were indig-
nant. and to show their contempt they sere-
naded the offending professors with tin
cans and shrill whistles. The faculty rep
rimanded the students, but the professors
were made to feel in many ways they were
held in contempt. A body of students,
playing before Professor Randalrs recita-
tion-room, refused to cease their noise
when commanded to do so A student
who refused to obey Professor Randall re-
ported to him later for recitation. Profes
sor Randall refused to admit him to his
class till he apologized. The student re-
fused, AMI in the course of conversation
gave the professor the lie direct The pro-
lessor struck the student, and rough-and-
tumble fight ensued, which was ended by
another professor separating the combat
ants. The student was expelled. and Pro-
fessor Randall resigned.

This ruling is affirmed by the Commits

siderable conflict between the farmers and
mineral claimants to land in Battle Greek

important and illustrative.
