The BOutclle Resolution.

The BOutcile Resolution.
Whek the committee on foreign affairs
met today Chairman McCreary announced
the action of the President This announce
rient did not have the effect, however of
withdrawing Mr.. Boutelle's resolution. The
republican members Of the committee main
tanned that the Presidents action did not
affect the status Of the resolution, and
that 1t was still in order and desirable for
Congress to extend it's greetings to the
republic.
Speeches were made by Messrs. Van
Voorhis, Hitt, Blair and Draper of the re
publicans and by Mr.. Geary, who con-
tinued to support the resolution. Another
forcble speech was made by him In advo-
cacy of action by Congress, which, he said,
should be taken without reference to the
executives course, IL for no other reason
than the effect it would have in quieting
business uncertainty in the islands. Mr..
VanVoorhs advocated the resolution, say
ing the presence of the royalist ENJOYS in
Washington and the purpose of their mis-
sion, which no one seemed to comprehend,
furnished the ground for much of the dis
cussion.
Chairman McCleA1y took the ground that
no action was necessary by Congress In
view of the Presidents letter to Presi-
dent Dole The republicans replied that
no Official notice had been given the COM
mittee that the President contemplated
taking any steps.
Mr.. Tucker lVao made a motion to lay
the resolution on the table, and Mr.. Hooker
(Miss) moved to adjourn. The motion to

that 1t Is true, the officials do not see how
so small a quantity OF grain, which the
Coreans scarcely know how to use, will be
of much avail in q population Of about
12.OOO,OOO people. To complicate the situa-

The Mexican Corn Crop.

In view Of the uncertain state of our own
corn crop, the following report, dated
August 1, to the Department of State from
Consul Crittenden at Mexico, is of interest.
up to the 1st of July 1t was thought the
corn crop would be failure and entail
much suffering, and make further demands
upon the treasury of this country to supply
from the United States the deficiency, in
order to save many persons from starva-
ton. In July heavy rains fell over the
greater part of this republic-even when no
fains had fallen for several years. 1t is
now believed that more than half a crop
will be grown. The railroad officials have
been encouraged to the belief that their
business will be much improved by the late
months later than last season"

good Democratic votes would be cast
for him in preference to Breckenridge.
He is a cousin Of the late General Irwin
Mcdowell of the United States army
and has the blood of tho famous Clay
family in his veins, being granddaughter
to Henry Clay. His wife is great-grand-
daughter to the Same eminent states

old time estate of the Clay family. Ma
jor Mcdowell is the richest resident Of
his part of the state, he is recognized
Us one of the leading citizens by all
classes, and Ashland is n social center.
His wife's father was the third Clay of
the name Of Henry and was killed in
the Mexican war at the battle of Beuna
Vista. The fine old residence ut Ash

has never been personally prominent in

however, made him very well known.
Among the famous horses that havo

the stallion Dictator, sire Of some of the
fastest trotters in the world, including

in the fight against Colonel Brccliin-
ridge. His career and characteristics are
too we'll known to need space here. The
fight itself has presented some truly
curious phases.
Perhaps one of the most interesting
Of these has been the publication Of a
book containing the record made daily
of the words and doings Of Madeline

notorious breach of promise case. 1t
was a piece of ingenuity worthy of a

THE ASHLAND DISTRICT.

Something About His Democratic Oppo-

ell, tho Republican Champion, a Descend
ant of Henry Clay.
If there was ever a livelier political
campaign than that which is now being
waged for the congress nomination i'll
that part Of old Kentucky that is known
as the Ashland district, the American
people would like to know about it.
Happily, though often predicted since
the beginning of hostilities, there has
been no shootingas yet. This statement
must be made with caution. 1t is true
enough at the date of this writing, but
it may not be so when these words meet
the readers eye in cold type. for ii

takes but a mighty short time TO do a
lot Of very effective shooting, and it is
matter for surprise, this year of blood
and disaster and reprisals that the she'd
ding Of blood in the Ashland district
has been delayed so long.
The public is well informed regard
ing the pre-existing facts OF the situa-
tion--the circumstances, that is, Of the
legal contest in which he came OFF sec.
ond best that w. c. P. breckenridge,
the sitting member from the Ashland
district, had to go through, with Made
line Pollard for an opponent and the
opposition that has developed against
him on social purity grounds. The pub
lie should also be aware of the fact
that down to the present time Demo
cratic nomination i'll the Ashland dis
triot has been equal to an election; that
the battle now raging is for the nomi-
nation only, and that it is quite within
the bounds of possibility that there may
be more than ono Domocratio nominee
this fall. If there is, the tight for the
election will doubtless be harder one
than that for the nomination. Colonel
Disadvantages chief opponents in the
present fight are Owens and Settle, the
first named being perhaps the more
prominent of the two.
William c. Owens is citizen of
Georgetown, Ky, town located about
ca miles from Lexington, the state cap
ital. He is man who has already made
a record as a public official, having serv-
ell many years III the state legislature
aud more than one term as speaker of
the lower house. Moreover, he is not
unknown outside Of Kentucky, for at
the last national convention Of the Dem
ocratic party he was made temporary
chairman and won praise by the digni-
fled manner with which he acquitted
himself on that occasion. He is about
46 years Of age, bachelor, and his
family, like the Breckenridge family, is
Of the blue grass aristocraCy. He is a
lawyer with good practice and lib
eral income. His personal habits are
indicated by those who know him when
they speak Of him as "a free liver and
convivial spirit but Of unsullied repu-
tation." When it is added that he plays
as stiff a game Of poker as any man IN
the state, it will be clear to the reader
undoubtedly that he is a typical Ken
tucky gentleman. Between him and
Breckinridge there has long existed n
bitter personal feeling, and that fact &C.
counts in some degree for tho extraordi-
nary vigor which Mr.. Owens has in
fused into the present contest.
