A sunny, windy day should be Sc
lected, and only one pair washed in
one day. First put the blankets on
the line and shake the dust out of
them. Cut one pound of good soap in
small pieces and boil in two quarts OF
water till dissolved Add half pound
of powdered borax Fill tub about
half full of water and add the soap
and borax Be sure to have the tenn
pernture of the water the same as that
of the outside air. This is not diff
Gcult matter us town water is usually
little colder than the air in spring
and summer, and only then should
blankets be washed. Press the
blankets down into the water and
avoid rubbing; then let the soap and
borax do the work-they certainly
will. Let the blankets soak for two
hours, then rinse them thoroughly in
several waters until the rinsing water
looks clear, taking care to have the
rinsing water the same temperature
as the first water and the outside air.
Then without wringing, put the
blankets on the line. Do not stretch
them, and be careful to hang them ex-
actly even, then the color in the stripes
will not run into the white. Although
tripping wet on clear day they will
dry in four or five hours and will be
soft and clear. The wear, not the
washing, will show to certain ex-
tent, although they will look more
like new ones than they did before
washing Take in when perfectly dry.
They should not be ironed or pressed.
They will be clean and will smell
sweet. With set tubs the only hard
work is to get the blankets on the line
properly, and II some one will "lend a
hand" even this is not ver7 laborious

of patriotism and of preparation for
any emergency that might arise con-
cerning Venezuela. The first bill in
troduced was that OF Mr.. Chandler Of
New Hampshire. providing an oppro-
priation OF $100,0OO,000 for a heavy
increase in the national ornaments
This was quickly followed by prop
ositions authorizing the secretary of
war to purchase late device OF heavy
battery and for report on tho feast
bility Of equipping Tor service the old
ship Constitution. Mr.. fill of New
York added to She suggestion of de-
fence by asking immediate consider
alton for bill making ex-Conteder-
ates eligible to serve in the army and
navy. Aside from these steps inaug-
urating the army legislation the day
passed without decisive action on the
Venezuelan question,
The first investigation of the ses-
sion was started by the passage OF
of Mr.. Calls loug pending resolution
for an inquiry into alleged corporate
influences operating III the election OF
United states senators and representa-
tives. AS further expression on the
subject OF British Entertainments the
senate agreed to resolution intro
duced by Mr.. Davis, calling on Il

Shiner gazette. [volume] (Shiner, Tex.) 1893-current, 1895-12-26

WASHINGTON, Dec, 2l.-The feeling
in regard to the Venezuelan matter is
decidedly that there will be trouble.
Senator'S talk quietly about it in their
public uttorances, but when they talk
about it in private they admit that
the situation is very bad indeed. l
have heard OF only one prominent man
who thinks that the matter will blow
over without trouble, aud that is Sen
ator Sherman. Like all others here
he understands that the president is
making no bluff in this matter and
that the United States can not back
down, but in private conversation
yesterday he said that the whole
trouble would be adjusted by the ac-
ton OF England. That country woulu
not openly back down, but when tue
time came where 1t would be fight
or concession she would buy from
Venezuela the disputed territory and
Venezuela would say that such terri
tory always belonged to Guiana.
Though this is his private view, it is
strange that lie seems to be uneasy
about war as his speeches for the past
two days indicate.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-The ways
and means committe was in session
yesterday Immediately after its
announcement and again last night,
informally-that is, the republican
members, The intelligence reached
me last night from reliable source
that they have practically Determined
on the measure they viii report 10 the
house. 1t goes further than they have
talked heretofore. They seem to be
hot about the presidents last financial
message and 50 have been led to go
further in the way Of revenue legisla-
ton than they contemplated a few
days ago. They now intend, accord
ing 10 my informant, arepubllcan close
to Reed and Dingley, to bring in a
bill placing duty OF 6 or 8 cents on
wool and an increase of 80 per cent on
woolcns. This, they calculate, will
produce $23,0U0,000 of additional rev.
enues. They intend TO raise $4,000
700 more by duiy on lumber. Then
they will make horizontal raise of
20 per cont or more ON every
thing else taxed by the Wilson bill ex-
cept sugar. That tncy will not touch.
They viii probably provide for the is
suing of short time per cent bonds,
issued only when the revenues are de-
llcient, 10 stop up the hole. These
| bonds will have to be sold in this
country aud will probably be made
payable and purchasable with lawful
money. Ii is thought that this meas
ure will be Introduced in and rail
roaded through the house before New
Years day.

WASHINGTON, Dec 20.-The spirit
OF Americaniem brooded over the
senate yesterday, but although every
senator who spoke on the subject NJ
dorscd the position of the presiden,
all expressed the opinion that wa
would not result. Stu the gravity o !,
the situation was not underestimate
The war talk of the last few days at
tracted large crowds, who followed
the debate with great interest. The
immediate question before the senate
was the mouse bill approprialing $780,
900 to defray the expenses of the COM
mission recommended by the presi-
dent. There was some difference of
opinion as to what disposition should
be made of the appropriation, the
general opinion being that It should
go to the committee on foreign re.
lations. The debate, however, had
10 practical result, as Mr.. Allen Pop,

WAsH1NGroN, Dec. 22,-The sug-
gestion has been made to Secretary
Herbert by the naval bureau chiefs
that congress to requested to I'M
mediately authorize the amendment
OF the last naval act so as to permit
the department to contract Tor the
building of six battleships Instead of
the two provided for. 1t is urged
that, in view of the low figures re-
ceived at the recent opening, it would
be greatly in the interest of economy
to accept all the bids, and according
to this plan. the Newport News COM
pany would be given the contracts to-
two of the ships, the Union iron
works of San francisco contract for
two, and the Cramps also contract
for two. All the ships would be of
the Kearsarge type, with double tur-
rets and 13inch guns. The cost of
the six ships at the outside (and there
is reason to believe that the bidders
would still further scale down their
llgures) would be $4,000, exclusive OF
armor whereas the last congress fixed
the limit OF cost Tor but two ships at
SS,OO0,0O0. The necessary armor
would cost about $3,000,000 or 81
100000 additional. Secretary Her.
bert has the matter under consider.
