Hon. JOHN NJ. THURsToN, Nebraska's
new senator, mad speech last week
in favor of the Monroe doctrine resoIu-
ton, which attracted much more atten-
tiou than is usually accorded TO any
thibg SAID by a new member of the
senate. and which was alike creditable to
himself, his state, and to the republican
party of which be has long been an
honored member. He took especial
paiDs to show the fallacy of the position
taken by Senator Wolcott, of Colo, in
his speech opposing the resolution.
Speaking Of Eagland's attempt to scare
US into abandoning the Monroe doctrine,
by putting the financial screws upon US,
ne said: 1--WE solemnly advice them
that our foreign policy is not a matter
of exchange or barter, ard DO financial
panic can ever induce us for q single
moment to lower the standard of our
national honor" He clossd bis speech
with tie following words which sny
American might justly feel proud of
having uttered: "Sir, believing that
the honor Of my country is involved
that the hour calls for the highest ex-
preston of loyalty and patriotism; caml-
ly confident of the verdict of posterl,y; /;
reverently calling g d to witness the
sincerity of my purpose, | shall vote for

EFFORTS to seizure an amendment of
restriction are being made by congress.
! At recent hearings of the house COM
mittee on immigration, a number Of rep
resenJstive citzsns have appeared in
advocacy of bill introduced by Mas
sachusetts member, which adds to the
list Of excluded aliens all persons be
tween fourteen and sixty years of age
who cannot both read aud write the
Eaglish language or some other lang
usee. The supporters of the bill ad-
vocated the educational test as a modsr-
ate, rational, effective and simple means
of further restricting immigration 10
this country. They thought that the
government had the right to exclude
Illiterste persoas from the country, AID
that this test. confined with others of a
more general character, would in all
probability shut out a large part of the
uDd esirable portion of the present i'm
migration, would reduce the total num-
Der of immigrants, AID thereby greatly
benefit the labor market and help TO
maintain the rate OF American wages. 1t
would also shut out IN very large |
measure those elements which tended to |
lower the quality Of American citizen
ship, and which now in many cases gath
Pr dangerous masses in the slums of our |
great cities. Action upon the question |

that immigration is again on the in

the capital has been subscribed for cut
ting the inte-coastsl channel along the
inner bays next to the mainland from
Brownsville to the mouth OF the Brazos
river, giving some 400 miles of this coast
country a water outlet at Arsnsas Pass
the inquiry for aud sales OF large tracts
of land for colonization purposes, be-
TIVE en- here and Brownsville, has been
u unparalleled IN the history OF Southwest
Texas. And this has stimulated the
towns and ranchmen back of the water
to raise the additional bonus demanded
for the comuletion of the Corpus Christi
& Brownsville road to Aransas Pass.
About seventy miles of this road was
graded some three years since, but like
many other enter rprises it was tempor-
arlly crippled by the panic.
The coast country is certainly on the

prosperity, and will rise up and call the

Skin of a German Which Is Impervious 10
Heavy Shot.

ckln OF German " hich Is ImperviOus TO
Heavy Shot.
In Berlin Cingalese battles all inves-
LEGATIONS by physicians by the impen-
etrability of his skin. The bronZed east
erner, Hercules in shape, claims to
have found an elixir which will render
the human skin impervious to any
metal point or sharpened edge of
knife or dagger and calls himself the
Man with the Iron Skin" 1t is true,
says the London Graphic, that it has
been impossible to even scratch his skin
with sharply-pointed nails, with finely
ground knives and daggers. He is now
exhibiting himself, and his greatest
feat is to pass with his entire body
through hoop, the inside of which is
hardly big enough to admit his body
and is closely set with sharp knife
points, daggers, nails and other equally
pleasant trifles. Through this hoop he
squeezes his body with absolute i'm
punity. The physicians do not agree
as to his immunity, and some of them
think that Rhannin, which is his name,
is fakir who has by long practice sue
ceeded in hardening himself against the
impressions of metal upon his skin.
The professors of the Berlin clinic,
however, considered it worth while to
lecture about the mans skin, pronounc-
ing it an ineXplicable matter.

THE BIG CARNIVAL.
Dan Stuart Not In The Least Disgust
ed BY The New Mexican
Bill


FL psso, Tex, Feb, 7.-[Specisl. ]
One week from today, based on the as
surance of Dan A. Stuart, and apparent
ly vouched for, by everv indication, the
big light carnival to be held in this
neigh boz hood, will be insugurated by
the meeting Of Robert Fitzsimmons and
Peter Msher. All the disquieting news
sent out from the Cisy of Mexico, Dallas
and other points have not had any effect
on Stuart. The suave and even temper
ed Texan has gone right along about his
plans and tonight announces that no hu-
man contingency can arise which will
interfere with the carrying out OF the
full and complete program. "You can
say" remarked Stuart, that / will pay
the expenses of any man who comes to
see the fights, and whe has the money to
pay for that privilege if ne does not get
that which hIs money calls for" What
Stuart has up his sleeves, but few know.
All sorts OF guesses are being made,
but Stu-rt maintains a discreet silence,
and If any of them have bit the mark,
Stuart has failed to confirm them.
Special trains along the lines of all five
adsentering this city have beeo arrsng-
rd for, and large crowds are coming in
ieaily.
As wasd expected, Fitzsimmons has
dfen msde the IA yorite 10 the betting,
the price now rules from ten to eight
beaavOr of the theory that, as in other
matters, ring history repeats itself.
Maner, ten days ago, developed pain
ful carbunCle, and this kept the Irish
champion from indulging in the moet
sever sort of exercising. 1t was feared
at first that the carbuncle would serious
ly effect Maher's condition, but, happily
the thing wore off, and last Monday saw
the conqueror of O'Donuell climbing up
the mountain sides near Las Cruces as
well ss be ever was. Msber has amazed
the nng followers in quest OF inside
information by the modesry Of his battle.
The man who wanted to know "How
na rounds will it take you, Peter t,
knock FItz?" has been sent away without
any very definite information on that
point. "How long are you going to live?"
Peter would ask in answer to this sort of
query. The excursion rates of one fare
for the round trip become operative to-
morrow FROM all points, north, east ard
west OF here, and the real influx under
these rates will not begin until Wednes,
day. While the main interest seems to
be cennered in the heavyweight mill,
