The Democratic Control of the Senate
Is Broken.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-The final dis
posal of the Nicaragua canal bill which
has occupied the attention of the senate
for so many weeks, has brought the Dem
ocrats of that body face to face with the
problem eff the programme fer the re-
mainder of the session, of which there
remains but thirty-two working days. 1t
will develop within day or two that the
Democrats are without majority in the
senate, and therefore unable to do bust

The Millionaire Magnats c. p. Hunting
ton, Said to Be at the Bottom.
SAN Francisco, Jan. 26-The land
involved in dispute between Mexico and
Guatemala is covered for the most part
with dense forests of precious woods
Mexican choppers from the north
and GuatemaIan choppers from
the south have clashed to the
heart of the forest that fringes
and La Cantun and their tributaries and
this precipitated the conflict. The con-
troversy rests on the question whether
La CantuD, or one of the forks of the
Usumacinto constitutes the boundary
between the Mexican state of Chiapas
and Guatemala.
An American engineer, Miles Roch
was sent out to survey the boundary. He
ran line through the forests still further
west than the La Cantun and included as
Guatemalan territory the country of
precious woods in which the complica-
ton had arisen. According to Guate-
malan claims, the lands under dispute
have been Guatemalan territory for over
fifty years The Guatemalans claim
Mexico's desire to extend her territory is
at the bottom of the complication in CHA
pas border.
1t is also stated that the blame for the
whole trouble is by some people laid at
the doors of G. p. Huntington, vino has
been negotiating on the construction of
railway from San Jose, California, to
Guatemala.
This, it is alleged, caused a scheme for
a railroad down the eastern coast of Mex
leo to fall through. The latter line would
have brought Guatemala within three
days of New Orleans, and, according to
its report, Guatemala charges Mexico
with the defeat of the plan.

A benevolent woman living at Glen
dale, y. J., devotes much of her time to
entertaining children who live in the low
er wards of New York and who of course
have crude ideas of country life. During
Christmas week this woman invited a
dozen of the little urchins to her house
and was rewarded for her trouble by the
thorough way in which the children en-
joyed themselves. In the party was one
little girl scarcely 3 years old. She came
from q crowded tenement house on the
east side and took the most intense inter
est in everything she saw. After a care
full inspection of everything on the parlor
floor of her hostess house she asked in a
curious tone, Who lives down stairss'
I'VE do, - was the reply.

1--WE do.
''Well, who lives above that?''
''Why, we do, of course, said the host
ess, with much interest. what makes

house, asked the little tot in open eyed
wonder.-New York Tribune.

Death Is q Friend.

The fear Of death in the abstract is
natural instinct, and, being natural,
is doubtless wholesome one. And
this being so, constant realization Of
it is scarcely to be desired. It is
much to be questioned whether, to use
the imagery of the hymn, the man
to whose consciousness it was nightly
pitched days march nearer to the
grave would be a useful campaigner.
But, in point of fact, there is no dan
ger that it will be so. The story is
told that priest who, under sentence
of death in days when the penalty was
more common than now, obtained
the privilege Of preaching to his fel-
low convicts in like case. 1t is scene
which is repeated in thousand diff
ferent places every Sunday morning,
but it is hundred to one that the
situation does not strike either
preacher or people unpleasantly, and
you will find each going home-so din
ner cheerfully as if he carried a special
exemption in his pocket. 1t is best
so. Not to climb hill till you come
to it is homely maxim, but it is as
tonishing how much, carried out, it
exempli6es life. You imagine it to
be an alp that is barring your way, and
when you reach the spot it turns out
to be gently rising ground from
which you may view the surrounding
country before making a fresh start.
And so with death. Formidable as it
appears at q distance, the more one
looks into the subject the more certain
itbecomes that mankind, when brought
to practical acquaintance with it,
have agreed in some blind way to
recog ize in the enemy whose approach
they have been so unremitting in their
efforts to ward off something altogeth-
er different from the terrible and hos
tile force which they have been accus-
toned to consider it. "We fall on
guard, and, after all, it is friend who
comes to meet us. Nineteenth Gen.
