sALlsBURY's NOTE.


Tho Cabinet Scssion Consumed in Con-
ssdering the Behrius Sea Question.
WASHINGTON, March 22-It is under
stood that both Lord Salisbury's reply
to the note of the 9Th and The presidents
response thereto were before the cab
met meeting for information and con-
sideration. Salisbury's reply WAS found
to be quite unsatisfactory, and unani-
nous approval was given to the re.
sponse prepared by the president The
latter is aaid to be an emphatic dcclara-
tion of the intention Of the United
States to maintain the contention put
forth in the correspondence on the sub.
ject. There are in it no Withdrawals
from the position heretofore assumed
in the controversy, and no assent is
made to any proposition repeated by
Lord Salisbury which had been pre-
viously rejected. The reply of Lord
Salisbury and the presidents response,
will, it is said, be communicated to the
senate committee on foreign relations
at once for consideration ct their meet
ing which occurs before the meeting Of
the senate at noon, and later in the day
they may transmit it formally to the
SENATE

The Texas Congressman Elected to q
Seat in the Upper House
AUSTIN, Tex, March 81. r. O. Mills
has been elected by the legislature to
the United States senate in the place of
Horace Chiffon, who was appointed to
fill the vacancy caused by the resigna-
tion of John n. Reagan. Mills received
12O votes on the FIRST ballot, his election
being practically unanimous. Chiffon
withdrew from tho contest Monday
night in note addressed to the chair
man of a caucus of his friends. The
outcome of this contest which has been
conceded to be in Mills favor for weeks
past, has been watched with unusual
interest on account of the peculiar con.
dition of state politics in the Democratic
party.
Mills election is regarded as a triumph
of the tariff reform element over the
free coinage people and is taken as re-
buke to Railway Commissioner Reagan
who recently journeyed to Ell Paso and
made strong free silver speech before
the silver convention,

Dogs and Music.

Although it is said that the bowling Of
dog may proceed from a disagreeable OF
agreeable note in music striking it's sensi
tive ear, yet in most of the recorded in
stances bowling seems to be a sign of dis
pleasure rather than pleasure. Thus, al
the beginning of the French empire GER
tain dog regularly attended the parade al
the Tuileries and howled if, perchance,
musician blew discordant note. Again
a gentleman at Darmstadt, who was fin
ished musician kept dog named Max
which was the terror of all the singers ant
instrumentalists in the place, for it hat
the fatal habit Of bowling whenever
false note was emitted. It never made {
mistake, and well known singers were sale
to tremble when they saw their unwelcomt
judge seated by his masters side. On,
tenor went SO far as to refuse to sing un
less the dog was removed. There is also
an account Of a dog shat died of grief be
cause he was forced for long time to lis
ten to music that was repulsive to him.

A River Swallowed Up,

Here's curious thing-a river in the
United States that goes to waste just as de
some of those far away tropical streams
YOU read about. All travellers in Colorado
know of the interesting Veta pass, in ths
southern part of the state, by which the
railroad finds its way over the Sangre dc
Cristo range into the great dry plain o.
San Luis. At the western gate of this
pass stands the tallest mountain in Colora
do, Sierra Blanca, about IA $50 feet in alti
tude. Veta pass opens south of this peak
North of it is an opening into another
pass, now almost forgotten, called Mosca
pass by the Spanish settlers, who formerly
used it great deal. It is the gorge of s
mountain stream which comes gathering
down from the snowy heights of the centra
range, gathering contributions from each
slope until, when it reaches the open val
ley among the foothills, it is a noisy ant
powerful torrent.
Never was a river more promising, and
as you descend its growing current you
picture to yourself the wide belt of greer
farms which it must irrigate out there on
the plain. But alas! no such beneficenct
awaits it. Across the mouth of the pass
on this western side the winds have heape6
a line of drifting sand dunes. They are as
yellow as gold and sharp ridged as the
waves of chopping sea. Into them the
river rushes from it's mountain sally port
Joyous and brave in it's strength, but il
never passes beyond.
The thirsty sand swallows up as fast as
they come the ceaseless supplies the river
pours down. The waves subside, the cur
rents slacken, the ripples spread out anG
disappear, and you may walk upon dusty
strand around the gorge of that brave
stream within 100 yards of where it dashes
out of it's rocky gates.-Goldthwai Geo

The change is 50 sudden and violent thai
