With this phase of the case, however,
Congress has nothing to do at this time.
said Mr.. Hit Congress is only called
upon to aid the executive in conducting
negotiations entirely within his province.
Mr.. Hit is not inclined to be very en-
thusiastic over the practical result of the
efforts of the commission. He is of the
opinion that after the commission has COM
pleted its labors it will have merely ex-
amined mass of official documents, all of
which have already been examined by off
GERS of this government, and will ascertain
a state of affairs already known to the
State Department and the President. and
the situation then will be just as it is
now. The United States will be in posses
sion of considerable information respecting
Venezuea's claims. and Great Britain will
be in possession Of the territory.
Mr.. Hit does not, however. intend to
convey any criticism upon the President

An Enchanted Place.

No one who has ever visited Waller
SCOTS Furniture establishment. at the
corner OF Ninth and Main streets. can
form any idea of the magnificent array
OF Lovely Furniture II Is truly mar
velious; the place X enchanting In It's

seen equals that in the largest northern
houses. 1 visited the place Yesterday, and
hy chance was accompanied by New
York gentleman OF some prominence.
His whole coUntenance showed evidences
OF surprise as soon as he entered the
place, and as he passed from one de-
partment 10 another he became enthused,
until finally he could control his admira-
ton no longer and exclaimed: Il VIII de-
clare l had no idea there was such an
assortment OF beautiful furniture in the
South" Some OF the articles were per-
feet dreams of loneliness, and are FAR
beyond any description that can be writ
ten. There are Bedroom Suits TT 10
furnish the bridal chamber Of prince.
and ParlOr and Dining-Room Furniture
suitable fer any palace I'm the land. And.
then, the CoUches, the Easy Chairs, the
Fancy Rockers. the onyx Tables, and
one perfect harmony. While II Is true
that Mr. Scott makes a speciality OF al
that is beautiful in FURNITURE, sun II
does not follow that only the people or
millions can afford 20 buy there. All
Artistic Furniture is not high-price Fur
niture. Much depends on the taste and
ability OF the man who makes the selec-
ton. and Mr.. Scott seems 10 have been
born for that especial purpose. Here the
millions can buy a. well as the man or
millions. II is worth any mans time 10
take a look at Waller SCOTS Furniture.

an item taken by fredericksburg paper
from an issue Of The Times of recent
date. Ia which your Spotsylvania cor
respondent IS pleased TO state that "a
farmer near the courthouse lost last Fri
day night eighty dollars worth of railroad
ties. and no trace of the robbers" Well.
II really seems this is a day OF short
hand" and extremes, and while Spotsyl-
vania viii so 10 future ages as ground of
notable deeds and scenes, no such thing
could happen while a man with such de-
tectve abilities as our present sheriff
holds the reins OF inspection. At the
prices for hrst-class ties IL would take
about two hundred o. forty cents 10 make
eighty dollars ana about thirty wagons
10 haul them. Tell your correspondent TO
be more moderate. FAIR PLAY.
