MIR. Barrett's Bill for Conference of M
lions Having American Territory.

mr. Barrett's Blu for II Confereucs OF Ma
lions Having American Territory.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-Representa-
tive Barrett, of Massachusetts, intro
duced in the House join. resolution
authorizing the Presidents to arrange a
conference between the United States
and the nations possessing territory on
the American continent for the settle
mont of boundary disputes. The Presi-
dent ia to invite each nation to Join the
United States is conference to be held
In Washington In 1895 to agree, IL pos
sible, upon all boundaries In dispute
between euoh nations.
In forwarding the invitations for the
conference the President is to set forth
that 1t Is called for the purpose of col.
Letting surveys and data that may tend
to the settlement OF disputes ss TO tho
true divisional lines between the ma
tions represented, and upon tho dis.
agreement by them to a statement Of
facts In each dispute, to devise a def
mite plan to be su omitted to each ma
ton for a series OF arbi.rations to
settle such questions. Fifty thousand
dollars Is appropriated for the expenses
OF the conference.

THE TARIFF AND BOND BILLS
Both Likely to Encounter Serious Oppo
sition:in the Senate.

Both Likely to Encounter Serious Oppo.
sition:in the Senate.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-The Republi-
con Senators have devoted much time
during the last few days to informs Il
conferences among themselves concern
Ing the House tariff and bond bills with
Wow of securing united action IL pos
sible on either one or both of the meas
ures. II Is generally admitted that both
bills will encounter very serious OBJ
stacles in the Senate largely on account
OF the silver sentiment In thst BODY.
This sentiment ia so strong that it has
been feared by the nnti.silver men that
1t would result in free coinage amend.
ment to each of the bills.
In view Of this situation It has been
suggested that one of the bills might
be sacrificed for tho purpose OF getting
the other through. II is believed by
some that the bond bill can be frat
considered and FREQ coinage bill sub
stituted for 1t and passed. The free
coinage Republicans will then conaent
to all OF the tariff bill to pass without
q silver amendment, and 1t is upon
this line that the friends of the tariff
bill are now proceeding. Some OF tho
silver Republicans have indicated a
willingness to consider this sugges-
ton, but others OF them express doubts
az to It's feasibility.

Will be confined to seeking opinion

Important question which came forward
was tho Cuban revolution, which was
brought before the committee through

OF Pennsylvania.
IL Will not be acted upon, /. being the
unanimous opinion OF the committee
That Congress should not take action

STATE LEGISLATURE.
a Row Between a Brainy Man and
An Ignoramus Precipitated.

AUSTIN, Texas, April To- Spe-
cial The Senate had no session
yesterday or this morning, owing
to the continued absence of
quorum. This is the fourth day
the Senate has had no session.
The House wrans led all morning
over the appropriate OF $4,000 for
an electrical plant for the uniVer-
sity.
Quite little excitement was oc-
casiOned by roast Thomas, Of
McLennan, gave Carprntpr,of Fan
min. Carpenter wanted to strike
out the appropriation for the cleo
trio plant entirely.
Thomas spoke against this, and
during his speech stated that since
its incipiency the university had
been fought by men who showed
the most hopeless ignorance.
In order to illustrate his speech,
he pulled a resolution introduced
some time ago by Carpenter, and
showed that he could not spell
that almost every word in the
short resolution was misspelled.
Carpenter answered the speech,
stamping it as ungentlemanly and
discourteOus and said that in the
future his and Thomas paths
would be in different directions.
After a world of discussion, the
5000 for the electrical plant was
cut out, but no further changes
were made in this department.
In the House yesterday the
Bounds bill, local option law, was
killed by striking out the enacting
clause.

and reports from up the river show
the water is still rising.
