amount Of the shortage to be 5000 This is about

all. The man was cured all right. He had no
taste for strong drink any more than you have,
but another man tempted him and well, you
know the result. One of these days things will
be different and the man who tries to live a tenn
perate life will be protected by law, and those
who try 10 drag him down win receive the pun
ishmeut they 80 richly deserve.

" perance, and always put them where they
no need 10 drink. We warrant to cure them eff

HROUCHY YET
Opponents Will Push the
Hawaiian Question.
Special Message to Congress May
Govern Business In the House.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2s.-The week in the
senate opened with the renewal Of the dis
cussion of the Hawaiian question, which
promises to become the subject Of several
more very animated speeches before IL
shall be definitely and finally disposed OF.
The adoption of the Vest amendments
and tho Allen resolution, instead OF dis
couraging the antagonists of tho admins
sratlon, has apparently had the effect OF
stirring them To even moro strenuous and
pronounced opposition. They express
themselves as more hopeful Of reversing
the verdict of Saturday when the next
vote shall have been reached, which Will
be on the final adoption OF the substitute.
Senator Teller inaugurated the discussion
Tor the week with continuance OF his
speech begun Saturday.
The Hawaiian question will be confined
to tho two first hours Of the daily sessions.
and will nc the expiration Of this time
give way to other subjects. The bank
ruptcy bill has been given the position OF
unfinished business and will occupy at
tontion for the creator part OF the week.
Senator George inaugurated the debate
with speech today. He expects the
measure TO encounter very pronounced OPP
position, and in this will not be disap-
pointed, as majority OF the eastern and
northern senators will be found 10 be
against the BILL
When the bill is disposed Of In whatever
way, the senate will probably proceed 10
consider the pooling bill. II the threat
ened conflict between this and the terri
torial admission bills should occur, ma
jority of the Republican senators would
support the faction favorable to the taking
up of the pooling bill, and would prob
ably turn the tables in it's favor.
There are no appropriation bills now be-
fore the senate, but three of those remain
ing unactcd upon, viz, the District OF Co
lumbia, tho diplomatic and the postoffico
bills, will be reported during the week, and
it is Senator Cockrells purpose TO call
them up Immediately with view to get
ting them out of the way as soon as pos
sible. This he will do to the displacement
OF either the Hawaiian resolution or bank.
ruptcy bill.
House Forecast.
The prograin in the house for the com.
ing week will be subject to revision in
case President Cleveland sends a special
message to congress calling for legislation
to protect ais gold reserve. II special leg
islation is demanded by Mr.. Cleveland to
meet the crisis, an effort undoubtedly will
be made to comply with his wishes.
Today, under the rule, is District of Co
lumbia day, but vote will probably be
taken on the bill to repeal the differential
imposed by the tariff act on sugars from
bounty paying countries before district
matters get tho right of way. 1t is tho
present intention TO give tomorrow and
next day to the bill reported from the
Pacific railroad commission to refund tho
debt of the Union Pacific road, but, as
previously stated, this bill depends on tho
presidents wishes. The remainder Of tho
week will be devoted to the consideration
of the navy and agricultural appropria.
tion bills.

elevated to condition of Iaind border
ing on ecstasy, tho two sought hotel,
where Laura could be made comfortable

time in going over the period since they
mad parted and rejoicing at the outcome
of the singular complications which fate
had been pleased to bring down upon
the husband.
But all meetings must have an end.
and at last the husband, departing. rode
to his tent. There he found messenger
waiting for him.
Flag Of truce wants to see you on
the picket line, sir. +"
Without dismounting, the newly

base. There stood mounted party of
Confederates, one of them bearing
white flag. headed by an officer. a son
of the south who spoke every word as
though it were OF momentous impor-
tance, never emitting the word "sir. I"
Are you Colonel Maynard, sir?"
II am, or at least was. l hardly
know what j am just now. l should not
be surprised to be informed that / was
to command all tho armics OF tho United
States"
