KENNRDY's ONSLAUGHT.
Enloe of Tennessee Offers Resolution
Condemning 1t.


Condemning 1t.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-Mr. Enloe of
Tennessee rose to a question of privilege,
and offered the following resolution:
ReSolUed, That the clerk of the House of Rep
resentatives be directed to communicate to the
Senate the fact that the House reprobatoS and
condemns the utterances of Hon. r. p. Ken
nedy, representative from the state of Ohio, de-
livered in the House Sept 3, rejecting upon the
character and integrity of the Senate as body.
Mr.. Dingley of Maine raised the point of
order that this did not present such ques-
ton of privilege as would take the gentle
man from Ohio (Mr. Mckinley from the
floor. At the suggestion of the speaker,
Mr.. Enloe withdrew his resolution for the
present.
CALLED UP LATER.
Later in the day Mr.. Enloe called up his
resolution in regard to Mr.. Kennedy's
speech on Sept. 8.
Mr.. Grosvenor OF Ohio raised the point
of order that the resolution was not in
order. The time to have called the gentle
man from Ohio (Mr. Kennedy to order
was when that gentleman delivered his
speech. The gentleman could not now be
called to order for his utterances.
BAYNE CoNCURs IN THE REMARKS.
Mr.. Bayne of Pennsylvania said that he
ooncurred in the remarks of the gentleman
from Tennessee It was due to the Senate
for the House to adopt the resolution. The
utterances of the gentleman from Ohio on
Sept. 8 had been withheld for revision and
had not appeared in the Record until to
day, 30 that notice could not be taken by
members. To-day those remaks ap-
peared. shorn, perhaps. of some of
their animoslties and misrepresenta-
tions, but Notwithstanding containing
such palpable charge of corruption upon
the Senate that the House could not refrain
from putting the seal of its condemnation
upon them. Mr.. Bayne offered an amend
ment to Mr.. Enloe's resolution directing the
public printer te exclude from the Record
Mr.. Kennedy's speech.
Mr.. Adams of Illinois spoke IN favor of
Mr.. Enloe's resolution. He believed that
the language of the gentleman from Ohio
had violated old settled rules of parlia-
mentary courtesy.
Pending action the House, on motion of
Mr.. Mckinley, adjourned.

CREssoN's GUESTS.
Speculation as to the River and Har-
Dor Bill.

Dor Bill.
CREssoN SPRINGS, Pa, Sept. 15.-It has
been arranged that the river and harbor
appropriation bill shall be forwarded to the
president Immediately on being signed by
the speaker OF the House. The president is
already familiar with It's provisions, having
brought copy of it with him to Cresson,
together with a report from the chief of en-
gineers of the army. in regard to the condi-
ton and necessity of the various public i'm
provements provided for 1t is
therefore not likely that the
public will be kept in ignorance
for many more days In regard to that meas
ure. Speculation is about evenly divided as
to its prospects, those who are sure of its
veto being about as numerous as those who
are sure OF its approval The President and
his private secretary, however, are strictly
non-committal on that point.
HIS STAY AT CREssoN.
The President said this morning that if
the weather contiuues favorable aud public
business does not prevent he will remain at
CreSson until the end of next week.
He said the place seemed to agree with him,
and that he would stay as long as possible.
1t is learned this afternoon that while the
Mountain house, the only hotel here, will
close for the season next Saturday, arrange
ments have been made there to supply the
Presidents family with meals after that
date for period not exceeding one week.
AN EXTRA SESSION PROBABLE.
There is every reason TO believe that the
President is seriously considering the ad-
visibility Of calling an extra session of con-
gress. 1t is known that several promin nent
republicans have advised such course,
with view to an earlier consideration of
the federal election bill Persons who have
talked with the President on
this subject say that he will GER
tainly reoonvene congress if certain pending
measures in which he takes great interest
are not disposed of at this session. These
include the anti-lottery bill, the supreme
court bill and the labor bills, now in the
Senate, aud the postal shipping bill. now
awaiting the action of the House. The
President is known to be specially interested
in the passage of the election bill, and
would probably feel justified in calling an
extra session for the consideration of it and
such others of the important measures now
pending as may not be disposed Of at this

GERMANY AND SLAVERY.
European Circles Hope for the Coun.

European Circles Hope for the Coun-
termanding of the Order.
LONDON, Sept 15.-The Zanzibar oor-
respondent of the Times says: European
circles are confident that the Berlin govern
ment will countermand the German slavery
proclamation at Bagamoyo. But even that
will fail to remedy the irreparable harm
already done. The object Of Germany is TO
attract the wealthy Arabs TO the German
coast line. A German official recently
presided at an auction sale Of slaves.
Serious difficulties are certain TO ensue on
the British coast line, and probably the
Arabs will attempt to coerce the sultan to
withdraw his Decree"
DIBCREDITED AT BERLIN
BERLIN, Sept 15.--The announcement
chat the German authorities at Bagamoyo
have issued a proclamation authorizing
traffic in slaves has caused general surprise
here 1t is believed that there is some mis-
take in the news from Zanzibar. The
TdgebIdtt and Freisinntqe ZettWng declare
that it is not possible that the German gov
ernment will confirm such decree.

LONDON, Sept. 16, 3 A. M.-The Times
says that unless Germany promptly dis
vows tho Bagomoyo decree, it stands to
reason that the friendly arrangement con-

During the Sitting.
LISBON, Sept. I5.-The reassembling Of
the Cortes to-day caused great excitement
throughout the city, as stormy debate on
the Anglo-Portuguese treaty was expected.
Shops and offices were closed and thousands
OF citizens Of ali classes wendsd their way
to the parliament buildings, which
were hesieged by an enormous
crowd, clamorous for admission
hours before the session opened. The
authorities had taken precautions against
disorder, but official interference was un-
necessary, as the crowd was good natured
and well behaved
THE TREATY CALLED UP.
Soon after the opening tho minister Of
foreign affairs moved the adoption of the
AnRlo-Portuguese treaty. He began to
read various notifications which the gov
eminent had adopted in order to assure
public hostility 10 the treaty, but before he
had gone far he was sllenced by the pro-
gressist minority, the opposition members
kissing and hootiug so vigorously that the
minister could not make himself heard
A PRIEST ASSAULTS sERPA PINTO.
Amid the tumult Maj. Serpa Pinto arose
and shouted to the progressists; Hold your
tongues"
Upon this progressist priest named
Brandao assaulted Maj. Serpa Pinto, and a
lively pugilistic encounter ensued. The
president was utterly unable to restore order
and finally suspended the sitting.
THE ENGLISH CONVENTION.
When the Cortes reassembled Senior Ri
beiro introduced the Epglish convention
with the following notifications:
Commercial stipulations regarding
rivers shall not include the old province OF
Angola and the convention shall apply
eolely to goods in transit, Portugal remain
ing free to impose import and export duties.
2 The cause providing that no portion of
the territory assigned TO Portugal
Touth OF Seambassi may be trans
ferred to another power with
out Englands consent shall be replaced by
simple reservation giving England pre-
ference in the event of transfer.
3. A neutral nation. instead of England,
shall appoint an engineer to survey the
Pangive railroad.
The House referred the convention TO the
committee on foreign affairs, whereupon
the progressists moved that Lieut.. Con-
tinho, who sezed the British steamer James
Stephenson at Chiromo deserved the con-
ldence of the country.
The sitting was concluded in an orderly
manner. Senior Ribeiro's amendments to
the convention produced an excellent i'm
preston Rumors of a cabinet crisis are
semi-officially declared co be untrue. The
white book shows that the notifications
proposed by Minister Ribeiro were the
result of a conference between Lord Sails
bury and the Portuguese minister TO Eng

COUNTRY ROADS.
Convention Which Recently Met
at Dallas, Tex.
From Thursdays Daily.

Judge Harris said last night that he
was disappointed in the result of the
road convention that met in Dallas last
Tuesday. az am not disappointed in
what the convention did do, - continued
the judge, ''but in the fact that the
representatives of the counties stopped
where they did. There will be no tangi-
bic results of the convention, because
the only thing that was done was to
indorse by resolution the amendment to
the constitution. That will be of no
account, because the question is so
thoroughly before the people that the
amendment may be said to be sure
thing anyway.
1.-The result of the meeting was disap-
pointing IN this, because the passage of
this amendment was represented TO be q
solution of the road question. But it
ism t. If that were q solution of the
difficulty it oouldn't be said that there
was much of a problem in the road ques-
ton. The passage of the amendment
will, of course be Il relief, but the great
question will still be before the people.
Personally, - went on Judge Harris,
81 had hoped for something more. For
myself | think the issuing of county
bonds would be the best thing, and I had
hoped that the convention would do
something toward that end. But the
majority was in opposition to county
bonds. l was surprised and can t appre-
ciate the reason for such
stand. Of course don It
mean law which states that
counties shall issue bonds, whether they
want to do it or not, but mean law
that would make the COURSE constitutional
and leave the step with the people of the
county Immediately interested, so that
when they felt that they could safely
take the extra burden on them for better
roads they could do it. Let 1t be put to
the test of majority of the people. It
is an unsatisfactory method to leave such
things with the county commissioners,
because they may take some step for
which the people are not ready. How
ever, the majority of the convention was
against the issuance of bonds, and the
whole matter rests just where it did be-
fore the meeting.

wEEKLY GAzETTE. WORTH TExAs THURSDAY

doubtless his strange bird was the shore
lark, a Northern bird, that comes to us
in focks in the late fall or early winter ;,
and of late years has become perma-
nent resident of certain parts of New
York state. 1 have heard it in
full song above the hills in Della
ware county, after the manner of the
English sky-lark, but its song was a
crude, feeble, broken affair compared
with that of the sky-lark. These birds
thrive well in confinement. 1 had one
seven months in a cage while living in
Washington 1t was disabled in the
wing by gunner, who brought it to me.
It's wound soon healed; il took food read
lily; it soon became tame, and was an
object of much interest and amusement.
The cage in which L had hastily put it
was formerly case filed with stuffed
birds. It's front was glass. AS it was
left out upon the porch over night
strange cat discovered the bird through
the glass, and through this glass she
plunged and captured the bird. In the
morning there was the large hole in the
glass, and the pretty lark was gone. l
have always INDUCED faint hope that
the glass was such a surprise 10 the cat
and made such q racket about her eyes
and ears as she sprang against it that
she beat hasty retreat and that the
bird escaped through the break.
