more appropriate than this.
In constructing country houses there
are several prime conditions to be obsefV

and expression. By adaptation is meant
not only the arrangement Of the main

the habits and condition of the occupants
and the purposes Of a country home. No.
body wants modern city house planted

streets of country village. There is no
congruity between the classical forms of
Grecian architecture and the varying eli

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-The secretary
of the treasury has authorized the sale
of gold bars for export on payment of a
premium of one eighth Of per cent to
cover the cost of manufacture and trans
portation, and 81, 100000 was taken ON
these terms. There was also withdrawn
So, soc, 900 in coin and 100000 addi-
tional was engaged for export, making
the total engaged s, 100000. This leaves
the gold reserves $52,O24,4 2S, and the
amount of gold held above gold
certificates outstanding $l0,912,-
$50. 1t is deemed amply sufficient
that there is enough gold in either coin
or bars to meet the demand on gold GER
tificates. While the situation is re-
garded as very trying one, there is no
thought of anything so serious as to in
volve the credit of the government,
which the secretary will fully maintain
at all hazards.

used against him.
Regarding the effect of the election

Republican Caucus Discussion.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-The Repub-
Ican senatorial caucus was in session
from 1890 until IL o'clock, and ad-
journed without taking any action on
any subject, although most every ques-
ton before the senate was discussed at
some length. The discussion was of such
a desultory character as to afford no au-
thentic information on any Of the ques-
tons. The reference to the financial bills
was really briefer than that on any other
question, and nothing whatever was de-
veloped on this subject.

Activity.

CRY OF MEXICO, Jan. 26.-The United
States has undertaken to play the part
of peacemaker between Mexico and
Guatemala to prevent war, it possible.
A telegram has been received here from
Secretary Gresham expressing the hope
that Guatemala and Mexico will agree
between themselves upon some method
of settling the dispute over the bound
ary. but that if this should not be pos
sible the United States trusted the two
countries would agree to submit their
differences to the arbitration Of some
friendly nation. This communication
from q nation with which Mexico en-
Joys such intimate and friendly rela-
lions has caused profound impression
upon the government and undoubtedly
accounts, in part at least, for the de-
cision of the minister of foreign affairs
to withhold for five or six days, at least,
the ultimatum which it was to dispatch
in much less time in answer to the note
from Guatemala just received. 1t is
said the president of the United States
made sure his appeal would be received
in good spirit before sending it by
first communicating in all unofficial
manner with Minister Romero at Wash
ington.
That the situation here has been re-
garded as critical is evidenced by the
fact that in the Mexican arsenal at the
citadel there are being manufactured
from 90, 900 to $4,000 Remington cart
ridges by orders from the war depart.
