Ambassador Bayard's Speeches.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3l.-The question
OF censure OF Ambassador Baysrd for
his two speeches in England will be
again considered by the House COM
mittee on foreign affairs tomorrow
Since yesterdays meeting majority OF
the Republicans have agreed to support
q resolution drawn by Mr.. Cousins. of
Iowa, which censures the ambassador.
The Democrats OF the committee, under
the leadership of ex-Chairmsn Mo
C'eary, will antagonize any resolution
OF censure even 8 general EXPIRE ssion of
disapprcval OF speeches by diplomatic
officers.

Travels of Miss Mary Green.

Miss Mary Green" is rubber doll
who appeared one day late last fall in
the postoffice of Winchester, Mass. On
her dress was fastened slip Of paper
which read: tThe climate of New Eng
land is too severe for this child; please
pass her to the Pacific coast for the win
ter" Some friendly clerk put stamp
on her dress and sent her to Montana.
From there she went to California, then
to British Columbia and from there to
Ottawa. Each postofflce clerk seems to
have enjoyed her society as long as he
pleased, then pasted stamp to her
gown and sent her Oh.
AT Denver she evidently attended q
banquet of the mailing clerks and had
some new travelling garments given her.
Her dress is said to be covered over with
postage stamps from various offices in
the United States, and around her neck
are tied several poems written in her
honor. She also wears newspaper badges
from many different states, showing the
honor with which she was received at
the various literary banquets which she
attended. From Ottawa she brought
back q tag which proved to be pass to
the gallery Of the house of commons.

regard to Armenia; but q serious doubt
arises in the minds OF the President and
Secretary Olney. 1t is said, as to the ad-
visibility OF meeting this request, since
the State Departments in doing 80 would
deprive Its arguments in favor Of the
Monroe doctrine, in it's application to
the Venezuelan dispute, of all point, as
those arguments were based upon the
admission Of the right Of European
powers to regulate the affairs OF their
continent free from the interference OF
the United States, as q condition for
this country to freely exercise similar
right to control the affairs Of this hemi-
sphere without European interference.
AS, however. there Is nothing binding
on the President to carry out this re-.
quest, If 1t is contrary to his Judgment,
It ia very probable he will soon send in
little message to Congress telling that
body his objections to the resolutions,
under tho circumstances. and that will
be the end OF the M after, for the present
at least.
The Roanoke daily times. (Roanoke, Va.) 1895-1897, 1896-02-01

THE commission created by the legis-
lature of 1s93-94, to treat with the
West Virginia assembly concerning the
debt Of the old State of Virginia, has
submitted its report, which shows In
effect that practically nothing has been
accomplished, the West Virginia as
sembly having failed to appoint COM
mittee to confer with the commission
from this State. The commission says
it was sscertained that West Virginia ia
holding back because 1t was assumed
that this State would I OF enter upon any
agreement except upon an apportion-
ment o, one -third of the joint debt to
that State. This assumption the COM
mission declares ia erroneous. as it is
ready TO negotiate upon any equitable
basia. 1t is certainly to be regretted
thst the settlement OF this yexed ques-
ton has been so long delayed; but from
the present outlook the matter is likely
to continue for long time in its pres
ent unsatisfactory shape. q

CANARIEs FOR coNvlcTs.
Six Hundred Feathered Songsters In Mich
iGan,s Principal Prison.

Six Hundred Feathered songsters In Mich
igan's Principal Prison.
Convicts in the Michigan state prison
have many more favors than those Of
almost any other penitentiary in the
United States, and it is the belief of the
management of the institution that for
this reason there are fewer outbreaks or
1awlessness than are found elsewhere.
Among the favors granted to them here
is that Of keeping and caring for birds.
There are fully GOO feathered songsters
in Michigan's principal penal institu-
tons, all owned and cared for by the
convicts, and as soon as daylight ap-
proaches en- bright mornings their sweet
notes are heard in striking contrast to
the natural feelings Of their owners.
Many of the most hardened criminals,
from their general appearance and his
tory, would not be expected to care for
anything of a refining nature, yet they
tenderly care for and caress their little
pets.
More than three quarters of the cells
IN the prison contain one or more cana
ries, and they are also found in various
shops throughout the institution. Dur
ing the day the cages are hung outside
the cells to give the birds light and
air, but as soon as the convict returns
from work ut night the cage is taken in
side.
The practice has been carried on in
the prison for years, and the officials
say that, instead of any detrimental
effect being noticeable the little song
sters have proved benefit, as they not
only give the cells moro homelike ap-
pearance, but they also WELD decided
influence in the way of Illuminating the
most reckless and hardened criminal
Besides being permitted to keep the
birds for the sake of their company and
influence, the convicts are also allowed
to raise them to sell, and many dollar
is credited to the accounts of the prison
ers from this source. OF course the con-
vict handles none Of the money realized
from the sale Of the birds until he is
discharged, but it is placed to his credit
in tho prison bank. -Chicago News.

An Indian Taboo.

The penalty for violating, even un-
Willingly. the taboo of gems is visit
tation Of sores, livid spots. Inflammation
of the eyes and even blindness. The
In-shtasunda, or thunder gems, do not
touch reptiles, toads or beetles. Some
years ago the vegetable garden Of the
Omaha mission was visited by the pota-
to bug. The good missionaries in charge
engaged the children in the work Of ex-
termination by Offering bounty of 8
cents quart, solid measure, for de-
funct bugs. AS the extinction of the
species became imminent, some of the
young wits adulterated their bugs by
the addition of spurious beetles. About
this time ono of the little girls became
suddenly covered with sores. Her par
ents, hearing Of it, came in consterna-
ton to the mission. She belonged to the
thunder gems, and the child's bug in
come ceased at once. She had unwit-
tingly been carrying OH traffic in her
taboo. Alice G. Fletcher in Century.

Dun Sc Co.'S weekly review Of trade
says: Though business is still waiting,
there are some signs OF deantte i'm
provemens. 1t Is now believed that the
first payment for bonds will cause no
further pressure, and the money mar
kets are easier as respects loans on col-
lateral, though the difficulty in making
commercial loans still checks opera
lions. Still large msturities at the end
of January have been met more salts
fsctorlly than was expected, and mer-
chants and bankers report thas the
signs promise good spring trade.
No Increase appears as yet in the de-
msnd for the principal products. unless
for some forms OF iron and steel, In
which good contracts have been made
this week, and uncertainty Us to Con-
gressional action still Affects both in
dustries and commerce, but the increase
in inquiry and the reports of dealers are
deemed assurance of large trade com
ing whenever the uncertainty is over.
Signs of improvement in the iron and
steal business are gratifying, even
though they spring from combinations
which have raised tho price Of coke and
allotted the ouspu. OF lake iron ore.
There is also batter demsnd for wire
nails after long stsgnation and also for
sheets. Pig iron is rather weaker.
Southern works are competing sharply,
while speculative buyers of some
months ago are selling below present
furnace prices. but the average for all
products Is practically unchanged and
ia per cent. below the highest last
year.
The cotton mills are discussing cur-
talment of production, as goods con-
tinue weak, with an output largely ex-
ceeding distribution, though the week
has broug considerably more inquiries
and larger spring trad 9 Is still hor ed
for.
Cotton is shade lower, notwitnstand-
ing strong arguments byNeill and others.

nearly the same rate. Exports in Jsnu-
cry have been so pr cent. less, spinner
