DE LOME'S BAD BREAK.
He is Not Certain of What He Wires to
Havana.

Havana.
New YORK, March "a dis
patch to the Herald from Havana
says: Great excitement was caused
by the receipt at that place Of the
following dispatch from Minister
Dupuy de LONE:
"The senators favoring belliger-
ency are convinced Of the growing
opposition of the house Of repre-
sentatives and the country and
have agreed unanimously to reject
the resignation of the joint
committee. 1t is the general
opinion that efforts to be made
hereafter will be fruitless, and the
matter may be considered as vir-
tually ended"
The Havana papers issued late
evening extras, which were snapped
up greedily in the hotels and cafes.
The Spaniards openly expressed
great satisfaction and gathered in
groups congratulating one another
upon the matter. Some Cubans,
however, were slow to accept the
truth and believed there must be
some mistake.
The reaction in feelings towards
Americans, due to Minister de
Lome's dispatch, was illustrated
at the produce and other exchanges
where Americans, who OF late have
been rather unpopular, were greet
ed with handshakes, and in one or
two cases barely escaped being
carried on the shoulders OF their
enthusiastic fellow members.
The editorials printed in the
Havana papers praise Minister de
Lome's diplomacy and the senate's
good sense. Some editors, who
have been sneering at the United
States almost daily, speak OF the
great republic in terms Of fraternal
endearment.
The DiarO de la Marina says ::
"The triumph is most complete
and mortal blow struck at the sep
aratist cause. There is no hope
left for the rebels or their sympa-
thizers. We confess we did not
expect so complete a democratic
victory, nor one so decisive and so
soon accomplished. To the people
of the United States the rebels will
no longer appear as a manly, OPP
pressed people, struggling to vim
dictate their rights and constitute
an independent government. They
will now appear as they are and
must always be for all Europe and
America, merely armed mobs,
without martial skill"

GEORGETOWN Boomlets,

GEORGETOWN, Tex, March 25.-
Especial while the cold weather
the past north has somewhat re-
tarded the growth OF vegetation, it
has not seriously injured it and
farmers have been going right
along with their work, and when
the warm weather opens up the
farmers will be repaid for it. The
ground is wet deeper than for
years The acreage OF cotton and
small grain is fully as large as last
year, and some large pastures
have been plowed up. The fruit in
this section Williamson county,, is
not seriously damaged, and there
is yet plenty of time to have
abundant crops of all kinds, Sin
fact, larger than for years.
r. o. Aver, professor OF natural
science at the southwestern uni
versity, has just made some very
successful experiments with the
X ray. He has succeeded with his
Crookes tube in photographing "a
key and a nickle through sew
eral folds Of black paper between
which were layers OF cotton. This
is about all the progress as has yet
been made at Yale and Harvard
and Prof. Aver is probably the first
man in the south to make success
full experiments. He says that
there have been but little progress
made by Edison or any one else
since DIR. Roentgen's discovery, and

The immediate obligations
which caused the failure amount

to raise yesterday. The total liza

BOSS Quincy IN NO HURRY.
Gives the Permanent Chairmanships To
the Reed Men.

AUSTIN, Tex, March 25.-[Spe-
Ciall-Shortly after IL o'clock it
was announced from the stand that
Quincy, the chairman, would not
call the convention to order until
l o'clock and the crowd accordingly
dispersed, until that hour. The
Reed-Allison faction have the
situation grabbed practically, and
the McKinleyites are not talking
fight near as much as they were.
The convention assembled at
II 80 p. m. and Quincy immediate
ly announced his committees,
showing the Reed men to be in
charge Of all Of them.
r. B. Hawley, Of Galveston, is
chairman of the committee ON res.
olutions; w. NJ. Mcdonald, Of
Forney, is chairman of the creden-
tial committee, and ]. p. Elliot is
chairman of the permanent Or
ganization. All three are Reed
men.
The Mckinley men have given
up the fight and will be satisfied
to gee John Grant on the st. Louis
delegation. AS he has enough in
structions to elect him his position
is thought to be safe.
Quincy will be elected delegate
and Ferguson and Makemson will
probably be the two Reed dele
gates.
The Mckinley men are very sick

given them.
After announcement of the COM
mittee the convention adjourned

RAILROAD DEAL.
Burlington Short Line From Omaha to

Burlington Short Line From Omaha to
St. Louis.
ST.. JOSEPH, S. d., March pa
special OF four cars came in on the
Burlington from the west Tuesday.
On board were President G. E.
Perkins and Vice President G. B.
Harris of the Chicago, Burlington
& Quincy. They were met here by
General Manager Howard Elliott
and General Freight Agent d.
Olives, Of the Missouri lines OF the
Burlington, and the party then
proceeded to Msrysville where the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
crosses the Omaha and st. Louis,
where they were met by General
Manager Barnard Of that line and
other officials OF the road. The
party than went over the Omaha
and st. Louis and inspected the
line between that point and
Council Bluffs. 1t is understood
the Burlington people have about
completed a deal for the purchase
Of the Omaha and st. Louis,
which extends from Council
Bluffs in Iowa TO Pattonsburg,
Mo-, where 1t intersects the
Wabash. The ON aha and st.
Louis is an Independent line and
taps some Of the best country in
northern Missouri and Southern
Iowa tributary to the Burlington.
1t is understood the Burlington
people will purchase the road and
with it open up a short line be-
tween Omaha and st. Louis. All
that will be necessary to do will be
to build a strip OF road 40 miles
long from Pattorsburg to Chilli
Gothic, where the st. Louis and Chi
cago line Of the Hannibal and st.
Joe. will be tapped. 1t would give
the Burlington a short line Of 400
miles from Omaha to st. Louis,
and at the same time dispose of a
present troublesome competitor.
The Omaha and ST. Louis went
into the hands Of a receiver last
year and since that time the Bur-
lington people have been negotiat-
ing for its purchase. 1t is stated
on good authority that the deal
will be closed in the next few
weeks,

OPPOSING THE LION.
FRANCE, RUSSIA AND TURKEY
AGAINST ENGLAND.
Turkey Boosted To Make Bluff For Old
Claims Over Egypt, But Britain
Will Not Pause Ex-
cept For War.

PARIS, March Pa semi-of-
fetal report was issued this morn
ing stating that France will refuse
to sanction the use of the Egyptian
reserve fund for the purpose of a
British-Egyptian expedition up
the Nile to Dongola, unless she re-
ceives pledges concerning the
British evacuation of Egypt.
CoNsTA NTINoPLE, March 25.-As
a result of the extraordinary cabi-
net council, which lasted through
out Saturday, the Turkish govern
ment has issued an appeal to the
French and Russian governments,
asking them to intervene with the
object of regulating the affairs Of
Egypt. Germany is also requested
by the porte to exercise her good
offices in this sense. Instructions
were also dispatched to the Turk
ish ambassador at London to make
representations to Marquis Sails
bury, but their tenor is not known.
In we'll informed circles it is re-
garded that the act OF the porte is
due to the councils of France and
Russia, the governments OF which
countries, it Is claimed, have sub
mitted that the present Is the OPP
portunity of Turkey to raise the
question of her suzerainty over
Egypt, being practically usurped
by Great Britain. The government
syndicate, it is alleged, promised
Turkey their support in the mat
ter.
There is no doubt that consider
able annoyance is felt by the porte
at the fact that Turkey was not
consulted in regard to the advisa-
bility of dispatching the British
Egyptian expedition up the river
Nile and the feeling Of irritation
has been increased by the khedive
also ignoring the porte entirely.
Reproaches have in consequence,
been addressed to the Ottoman
commissioners in Egypt for not
taking steps to prevent the organi-
zation OF the expedition, as it is
| feared the effects Of the advance
up the river Nile will be felt else
where than on the frontiers OF
Egypt, and that the Arabs Of Vel
men (the principal division OF
Arabia, adjacent to the straits of
Bah ell Mandeb) may be'encouraged
to fresh hostilities to the Turkish
authorities.
In diplomatic circles here it
is believed that the steps
taken by the porte to
protest against the expedition to
Dongola will not have more than
q moral effect and though it is ad-
mitted France and Russia will re-
fuse their consent to the use OF the
Egyptian reserve fund, it is gen.
orally understood that nothing
short of the armed interference of
those two nations will prevent
Great Britain from pushing the
Soudan campaign.

A Capitol Romance.

A quiet little romance, Of which only
those most interested are Supposed as
yet to know, has grown from the fertile
AGRICULTURAL department, says the
Washington Star. Once upon time
there was a pretty girl in tar-otf
Western state. Hard times pressed
heavily upon her aged father and
mother. With the brave thought to
earn sufficient money to lift mortgage
from the small farm, the young girl
came to Washington, and, after many
rebuffs and disappointments, secured
a position in the seed division OF the
Agricultural Department. Quietly and
faithfully she did her daily duty, say
ing much more of her salary than she
spent, and dreaming of time when
the savings would be enough TO light
en- the mortgage and the dear old hearts
at home. When the seed division was
abolished her hopes sunk very low. All
efforts to find another place were fruit
less, and Washington seemed big and
strange and lonely Before giving up
and going home, she made one final
throw for success and future happl-
ness. She wrote a letter to the newly
elected Congressman Of her home dis
trict, and asked him to aid her with
his influence in obtaining Govern
ment position. She imagined him to be
a benevolent, Pefer-like old gentle
man, with a fatherly disposition. He
happened to receive her letter as he was
starting to Washington on ante-con-
gressional business, and he answered
it in person. He was neither old nor
Peffer-like; he was young and good
looking and susceptible. His business in
Washington heightened itself out I'M
accountably. The pretty girl has gone
home now, but this winter there is
going to be happy young bride in q
modest little home on Capitol Hill, and
that western congressman is going to
challenge every fellow member who
shall dare to lift a word of protest
against the adjustment of the seed di.
vision.

Heaven OF Earth.

How much more happiness and joy
and peace there would be on earth il
every Christian would take the follow
ing words of Charles H. Sturgeon tC
heart! 1t was said of an old Puritan
that heaven was in before he was
in heaven" That is necessary for all
of us; we must have heaven in us be-
fore we get into heaven. If we do not
get to heaven before we die, we shall
never get there afterward. An old
Scotchman was asked if he ever eX.
pected to go to heaven. why, man,
live there" was the quaint reply. Let
us all live in those spiritual things
which are the essential features OF
heaven. Often go there before you go to
stay there. If you come down to-mor-
row morning, knowing and realizing
that heaven is yours, and that you will
soon be there, those children will not
worry you half so much. When you go
out to your business or to your work.
you will not be half SO discontinued
when you know that this is not your
rest, but that you have a rest on the
hills eternal, whether your heart has
already gone, and that your portion Is
in the everlasting dwellings. Lay
hold on eternal life" Get hold of 1t
now" It is thing of the future, and
1t is a thing of the present; and even
your part of 1t which is future. can be.
by faith so realized and grasped as to
be actually enjoyed while you are yet
hero.
Success is full Of promise till men get
