The fact that a week ego yesterday the
House committees were appointed, and
under the rules privileged questions referred
for consideration must be reported with
in that length of time, caused considerable
interest to be manifested in the fate OF
the Bayard Impeachment resolution, the
proposition to recognize the Cuban insur
gents as belligerents, and othe similar mat.
tiers which had gone TO the Committee or
Foreign Relations.
As consequence of this feeling, when
Mr.. Hit appeared in the center aisle and
addressed the chair, after the final disposal
of the bond bill. members and spectators
alike, remained to learn what conclusions
had been reached by the committee.
ALL FAVORABLY REPORTED.
Mr.. Hit favorably reported resolutions
ordered by the committee at Its meeting
Thursday calling upon the President for
the correspondence in the State Depart
nient upon the Waller case; and the case OF
the American steamer Henry Crosby, fired
upon by Santo Domingo troops December
10, 1893. the matter of the Cuban insur-
rection, and in regard to the reported Bos-
ton. England, and Edinburg speeches of
Ambassador Bayar rd, whether or not the
President knows tlat such speeches Were
made, and if so whether any action has
been taken in regard thereto.
COMMITTEE WAS DIVIDED
MIR. Hit said the action of the committee
was unanimous so far as tie first three
subjects were concerned. The resolution
regarding Cuba had been modified so as
to make ii simply formal request for the
Consular and Diplomatic Correspondence
bearing upon the uprising of Cuban patriots.
No reference was made to their rccog
milton as belligerents.
The. resolution in regard to Ambassador
Bayard's alleged utterances reflecting upon
the American people was also paved down
to one of formal Interrogation. All ref
erence to impeachment or censure was elm
mated.
MIR. Hit said the report of the commit
tee in this instance was not unanimous, and
Mr.. McCreary stated that he dssented from
the conclusions and action of his associates
The various amendments were agreed to
without debate and the four resolutions
adopted without division.

Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher has en-
deared herself to nearly every family in
America. Not altogether because she
was the wife of brilliant divine, but
because OF her constant desire to aid
people and help them along in life.
Speaking about the relationship be
tween mother and daughter her words
have been oUtspoken and sincere. Here
is portion OF what she said:
There is 10 period in mothers life
that brings more anxious care than
when she sees her daughters, who are
poisoning into wOmanhood, beginning
10 attract tha attention of young men,
and it becomes evident to the mother,
81 least, that simple friendly relations
are fast developing into something
stronger and closer. A wise mother
may not reveal her anxiety 20 her
daughters, or tell them 10 what she sees
this friendship tending, but Influenced
by the loving panionship and coun-
sells which have constantly blessed them
from earliest childhood, the daughters
cannot fail 20 have gathered some ideas
OF the peculiar characteristics which
should be plainly developed in a lover
Even in the first days of womanhood, a
young girl cannot fail TO understand
that marriage with a man lacking GER
tain qualities must be a miserable fail.
