amendments to House bills not appropri-
ating money as soon as they are aid before
the House by the Speaker.
In speaking in favor of the amendment
Mr.. Reed of Name remarked that the work
of the last Congress had been done under
stress of weather. from the reading of the
first journal TO the final adjournment. and
if the ship had sailed safely over the
stormy sen. how much better would
it sail IN the summer weather which
would characterize this House. Laugh
ter. The amendment was agreed to.
A long discussion ensued. direct
cd towards the method by which
the private calendar should be considered.
There was much complaint made that the
calendar was blocked with measures re-
ported from the war claims committee. and
that these, as they generally give rise to
much a~ntagOnism. prevent consideration Of
other private bills.

Brownsville. Tex, where, in his D~oyhoou,
he received a fair education. although he
was then so wild that IL was generally pre-
dicted he would die with his boots on.
Afterward he attended the University OF
Mexico. and upon his graduation entered
the army, in which he served until an act
Of INSTRUMENTATION caused him TO Fly TO the
Texas side of the Rio Grande..
He came to San Antonio and became edi-
tor of La Mutualista, the organ OF the Mex
loan society of that name here. III was
professedly a society paper, but really n
political organ. Cara Is now resting under
an Indictment and a one-thousand-doliar
recognizance bond in Judge Noonan Q
court. Al Palo Pinto be married the dauRh,
ter of q wealthy Mexican Spaniard and
started q fiery little paper. which be called
Ell Libre Pensador. in which be began MS
assaults upon the Mexican government.
Cars first came to public notice at Rio.
Grande City. where In a political aiterca-
tiOn he shot O man named Sebree and. 1t Is
said, killed two customs inspectors. he
himself was seriously wounded IN the at
fray. After his recovery he went to Lare-
DO. Tex. and soon became involved In a
quarrel over General Martinez, who was
afterward a~ssassinated.
CARA next appeared at Duval. Tex.

fiery than the first, and where he had any

til at last he disappeared. turning up nexta t
the head of his Quixotic expedition. which
he thought was going to overthrow the Diaz

Cara was routed after q brief battle.
This was in September last. Since then he
has lived the life of an outlaw, fleeing from
the Mexican authorities on one hand, and
lodging United States troops on the other,
for his expedition was q violation of inter
national law. which the United States
could not overlook.
Cara Is a man of splendid physique. six
feet three inches In height, of fine military

melt into dreamy tenderness, according to
his mood. He Is said To be @ kindly-dIs-

TOO STRINGENT ALREADY.

Railway Officials Argue Against Amending
the acknowledgements Act.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3-The Senate CON-
mittee on interstate to-day heard
arguments upon the amendments proposed
to be made to the interstate-commerce law
at the suggestion CT the commission. A
number of representatives of railroads were
present. including ex-senator Sewell and
Mr.. Gray. for the Pennsylvania railroad
system, and Mr.. Mcknight. of the Northern
Pacific. S. II. Gray, of Camden. n. j.. rep-
%resenting directly the West Jersey rail-
road system company. operating with the
pennsylvania system. was the first person
to address the committee. At the concIu-
sion of his argument Mr.. Raymond. a men,
Der of the National Board of Trade, pre-
sented the resolutions adopted by that
body last week. urging Congress to adopt
legislation calculated to sirens CITIZEN the
interstate-commerce law and the commits
sion.
James Mcknight. solicitor for the North
ern Pacific railroad, argued that the pend
ing bill proposed an infringement by the
executive authority upon the proper func.
tions of the judicial branch. 1t went
further In the direction of Capitalization
than ever he-a Republican-could venture
10 follow. 1t deprived a party of the right
VI July ttihis anu lluiitCQ tuc COuktS oiiipiy
to q review of the law without authority
to review the facts. He'aiso feared that by
the re-enactment OF the section OF the ex-
listing act relative to foreign rransporta-
ton of American traffic, the courts would
be obliged to uphold the decision Of the
commission In favor of the Canadian Pa
citc railroad. His company would like the
sane right of ~rate-making as the Central
Pacific enjoyed at competitive points.
Mr.. Knapp. one of the nterstate-com-
merce commissioners. addressed the COM
mittee briefly in answer to some of the
points made by the speakers. pointing out
what he said were the fallacIes. and telling
of the experience of the commission In en-
deavoring to prosecute its inquiries and en-
force conclusions, There was never any
dispute as to the facts In tho case before
the commission. Unless the cOmmission's
decisions were given legal weight there
would be no complaints made to 1t because
sggrieved parties would be discouraged
by the inevitable suit In court to
follow an order In their favor. The result
would be that the commission would be-
come merely a collector of rate-sbeets and
compiler of statistics.
