removed from the building The
other brother had all the skin burned
off his skull

THREE SPECIAL ORDERS
The Tariff, Cuban Question and
Monroe Doctrine.
FINAL ACTION MAY BE TAKEN
The Debate Over the Refusal of the
Secretary of Agriculture to Dis
tribute Seed Free Again
Wakes Hot.

Washington, Feb. 10.Although the
Senate failed to accomplish much to-
day, the session served to make de-
finite the programme ON a number Of
important subjects.
Mr.. Morrill,, Chairman Of the Finance
committee, gave notice that he would
call mp the tariff bin on next Wednes-
day.
Mr. Call secured unanimous consent
that the Cuban question be made the
special order following the deficiency
appropriation BILL
Mr. Davis, author Of the Davis reso-
luton on the Monroe doctrine. gave
notice that On next Monday he would
call up the resolution.
Thus the three most important pend
ing questions were given definite time
for hearing, although it is probable
Mr. Davis notice contemplates a speech
rather than final action.
Mr.. Smith, of New Jersey, spoke at
,some length in opposition to the Davis
resolution on the Monroe doctrine.
urged that the doctrine was National
policy which needed no explicit def
nition as the resolution proposed. Mr..
Smith created some amusement by
his appeal to Congress to adjourn and
60 home as the best means Of serving
the country
The debate over the Secretary Of
Agriculture seed distribution again
waxed hot, Mr.. Vest renewing his eri-
tieisms, while Mr.. Bate, Of Tennessee,
championed the wisdom Of the Sec
retary's course. Mr.. Bate declared
that Mr.. Vests arraignment OF the
Secretary for furnishing flowers to the
White House and the Cabinet recep-
tions was not based on facts. Secre-
tary Morton had never furnished "a
shrub OF flower to any public func-
ton, AIr. Bate declared, as the Secre-
tary had no control of the Botanical
and propagating gardens. The seed
debate is not yet concluded.
During the day Mr.. Cameron, Of
Pennsylvania, offered another resolu-
tion looking to the independence Of
Cuba.
Mr.. Quay's resolution to recommit
the tariff bill went over until to-mor-
row.

as to the charge made i'm the Senate
this afternoon by Mr.. Vest that the
Secretary of Agriculture has distrib-
uted 100000 more packages Of seed in
Nebraska than that State was enti-
tied to last year, Secretary Morton
said:
Under the law one-third of all the
seed purchased were to be distributed
by the Secretary of Agriculture. In
accordance with that provision, some
years ago, when there was great suf-
fering along the sea islands OF the Car
olina coast, the Secretary Of Agricul-
tIre, through Clara Barton, and the
Red Cross, gave a great portion of the
one-third of the seed which she used to
distribute to the people whose fields
and gardens had been ruined by the
tidal wave. rs TO that very large dis
tribution Of seed to those southern suf-
ferers no complaint was made There
fore during the recent seasons or eN-
treme drought in the Northwest the
Secretary Of Agriculture frankly con-
fesses that he gave far more than the
normal quota Of seed to Nebraska.

Romero, the Mexican Minister here,

ties OF the Mexican State Of Chihua are
thoroughly in earnest in the determi-
nation to stop the fight, and he points
out that III the sports get across the
line to Mexico they will be subject to
immediate arrest. Tn other words II
will not be necessary for the Mexican
officials To wait until an effort is made

which cannot now be accurately said
10 be in either Mexico or Texas, it is
