PROGRAMME IN CoNGREss.
The Chile Matter VIII Probably be
the subject Discussed

the SUBJECT Discussed.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-The course of
proceedings in Congress during the week
depends largely upon the manner in
which the Presidents message and the
Chilean correspondence is received. The
probability, however, is strongly against
the matter being precipitately taken up
for consideration by either branch of
Congress, or any discussion on the sub
ject Immediately on the receipt of the
message. The usual formal course will
doubtless be followed by referring the
message and accompanying corresponds
ence to the appropriate committee.
Pending consideration in the committee.
the message and correspondence Will be
printed. The disposition of the most in
ftuentlal men Is adverse to any unusual
haste in the consideration of the subject.
1t is expected that the message and cor
respondence will be sent to Congress to-
morrow. Such was the intention OF the
President this evening, and unless the
case suddenly assumes some new phase
requiring al addition to the message, it
will be laid before both houses to-mor-
row afternoon.
The newly reported code of rules viii
be the principal topic of discussion in the
House during the week, unless debate on
the Chilean controversy is unexpectedly
precipltated. Owing to political issues
which may be reviewed in the antici-
pated lively debate over the rules, it can
not be predicted how long a time will in
tervene between taking up and adoption
thereof. The Appropriations Committee
is preparing an urgency deficiency bill to
continue the work of the Census Bureau.

TRUCKER, Jan. a. A horrible railroad
accident occurred here at $3.50 o'clock last
evening. Two stockmen, named G. A.
Nelson and p. V. Sanders, who were
working for Thomas Nelson of Stone
house. New, were walking on top Of the
train which contained their stock. and
when they reached the second shed west
OF Trucllee they We're struck by the shed.
Nelson fell between the last car and the
caboose, and was killed. Both legs We're
horribly mangled below the joint, and his
head was cut in four or five places. He
evidently fell in the middle Of the track
with his legs across the rail. The brake
beam Of the caboose cut his head and face
and caused the injuries which resulted in
death.
DR.. McCurdy says the injured man, P.
V. Sanders, is suffering from an injury to
the base of the skull, which will probably
prove fatal. He was knocked off the
train, but was only hit on the head by the
shed.

sun creeps higher in the heavens the
grandeur and beauty of the scene is in
tensified, and one is lost in admiration
until the genial rays of the sun grow
warmer and stronger and almost inaper-
ceptibly dissipate a picture that would be
glorious If some one SO gifted could bring

Oysters ON Trees.

The other day l heard somebody speak
of oysters hanging upon the branches of
trees on the borders of the Chesapeake
Bay"
THAT sounds like fairy tale, thought
l to myself
/ determined to investigate. So l said
Il always supposed oysters grew under
the water. l never knew they hung in
clusters on tree branches like apples.
Curious sort OF oysters those must be
which grow on trees along the banks of
the ChesapeakcW
Chesapeake Bay has the finest kind Of
oysters" said the talking man. 1.-The
reason they are sometimes found grow
ing on tree branches is this: The spawn
of the oyster floats about in the water,
tossed by wind and waves. It has the
quality of attaching itself firmly to any
solid substance it touches. Sometimes it
might be the bottom of ship, rock or a
tree branch. You know the bottom of
ship often needs scraping on account OF
the shell-fsh adhering to it,
Nov the branches Of trees often tiroop
into the water. They do il along the bor-
ders of the Chesapeake the same as on
the banks Of any other river or bay. At
high tide such branches will.be covered
with water, and when the tide goes back,
the branches come to the surface again.
The spawn sticks on those houghs
when they are beneath the waves. In Il
few days the tiny oysters begin TO de-
Yelop, and before long at every low tide
the branch can be seen hanging out, with
little oysters growing all over it.
sometimes q branch which is often
under water will be nearly covered with
small oysters. 1t looks very odd, OF
course but it's a common enough sight
down there.
''Grow? They don't grow very large,
to be sure. TO attain perfection an oyster
must be always under water, and these
hang half the time out of it. When they
are exposed too long to the hot sun, they
die. Their weight often causes them TO
fall off.
Little oysters are sometimes trans
planted. Not off tree branches, but from
the beds at the bottom of the bay. They
are planted in oyster-beds in other places,
where. in a couple Of years. they grow to
maturity"
at sounds funny to talk OF picking
oysters OIL trees said /, ''or even OF see
ing them grow there"
Funny enough. But they do grow
there. Eve seen it lots OF times" said the
talking man. That's the way queer
stories get about. Somebody hears of o
thing and doesn't understand the sense
it. And most people never stop to ask
what it means. They either repeat the
story for marvel, or say they don't be-
lieve it."-Harper's Young People.

RevolutIonist CARA.

LAREDO (TeX.), Jan. "a .-Mexican Con-
sui Diaz said this afternoon that his Gov
eminent had offered no reward for Cara,
but would doubtless take a hand. Should
he be captured and put on trial, then the
principal charge against him would be
treason. The report that if captured by
United States authorities he would be at
once eXtradited is erroneous, as he must
first be tried by the United States for vio-
latlon of the neutrality laws. After his
trial on such a charge there will be time
enough to talk about eXtradition.

eagerly showing their teeth at the bull
yard gate and trying to get in, con-
cluded that he would give the dogs a
chance.
