Texas-I was unable to find; but,
with this single exception, l can pre-
sent you with the views of the entire
committee.
''To each member I put this question:
Would it, in your opinion, De well for the
Governments of the United States and
Great Britain to endeavor to agree upon
the constitution of permanent court or
tribunal OF arbitration 10 which all ques-
tions at issue between the two Govern
ments, not involving national autunomy,
or honor should be submitted for decision
when diplomatic negotiations fail?'
First of course, l called upon Senator
Sherman, the veteran chairman of the
Senate Committee, a man whose career
and personality have won the profoundest
regard of his fellow-citizens, and whose
words should receive deep respect in Eng
land. He replied: Yes. you may quote
me as strongly as you like in an affirmative
reply
when | requested his own words for
publication, he said: L am in favor of
the principle of arbitration for all questions
that do not involve the autonomy of either
Of the two countries. | hope that the two
Governments will agree upon such mode
OF settlement for all controversies.
Senator Sherman added that in his
opinion Parliament should pass resolu-
ton requiring the Ministry to take steps
in that direction. Then, in turn, l called
upon every member of the committee
The following opinions were given me by
each. with authority to publish them:
Senator William P Frye of Maine:
Two Christian nations so closely allied
and speaking the same language surely
ought not to resort to arms for the settle
ment of any differences involving any
thing less than their sacred national

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 9.-For some
| reason not apparent cn the surface, the
! Committee on Rules did not to-day report
the changes it proposed TO make in the
code of the Fifty-frst Congress, under
which the House has so far been operating,
although their work has been completed
and is in print. Henderson (R.) of Iowa
gave notice that he would make the report
! tomorrow.
Livingston CD of Georgia asked unani-
NOUS consent for the consideration of the
! following concurrent resolution:
That the President of the United States is
/ hereby requested to forthwith ascertain
whether Great Britain is advancing her out
posts on the territory in dispute between her
colony of British Guiana and the republic of
/ Venezuela, or is reinforcing posts heretofore
established with troops, police or ordnance
and should the President become cognizant of
| the fact that British military or police force
is advancing TO invade or re-enforce, or since
the 18th day of December last has invaded or
Reinforced posts formerly occupied within said
disputed territory. he demand the immediate
withdrawal of said soldiers and the reduction
of the police force in said territory to a not
greater number than occupied the British out
post on the aforesaid 18th day OF December.
1895.
Boutelle (R.) of Maine objected and the
resolution went to the Committee on For
eign Affairs.
Henderson (R.) of Iowa stated that the
Committee on Rules had concluded its
work and would report the new rules to
the House tomorrow for its consideration.
Rising to question OF privilege Brumm
(R) of Pennsylvania read from Phiadel-
phia paper an analysis by its Washington
correspondent of the House vote on the
bond bill, in which it was said that Brumm
was not present and he was classed as
dodger. Brumm explained that he had
been called away suddenly that day by
telegram announcing the probable fatal
illness of his son, hence his failure to vote.
Blue (R.) of Kansas, from the Commit
tee on Appropriations, reported the gem
eral pension bill for the year ending June
80, 1897, and gave notice that he would call
1t up after the report of the Committee on
Rules had been disposed of tomorrow.
At 1925 O'Clock the House adjourned
until tomorrow

American situation still serious, this morn
ing refers to George Smalley's renewed
plea for the fullest and earliest disclosure
of the English case in regard to the Vene

force OF the contention, and really, if no
more serious obstacle to the course he ad-
vocates exists than the technical rule as
to the publication of official documents

pitiating the goddess of red tape is hit upon
the better"
The paper urges the Ministers to acceler-

"We should, regardless of precedents,
set out our case fairly before the world.
We firmly believe that it is a good case,
and, that if produced before passion gets
the upper hands of judgment, will be re-
ceived in fair and amicable spirit. But
the danger is growing danger, and if it
is to be stemmed successfully must be
stemmed at once"

n lonely spot all wild grew,
Pale. though sun and rain cnrcssed,
Whom soft one morn, ms yet the dew
Sparkled on my snowy breast.
A poet came and pressed his lps-
Warm and red with life's young blood
Upon my snow white rosebud tips
And. 10, there surged crimson flood
Throughout my veins. which dyed my breast
As mover sun nor rain could do,
And soft each morn his fond lips pressed
My petals till roster grew.
But woe Is mel One luclless day
There passed a plowboy on his roam
Who plucked me in his sportivo play
And claimed me for his own.
I faded IN his ruthless grasp.
He cast mo here alone to die.
oh, love, once more TO feel your clasp
And breathe last goodbyi

most every citizen of Waller county was
SURPRISED after the recent election at the
increase Of The vote pollcd over the election
Of two years ago. In that year the vote
Was less ,han 1900, while $500 were polIod
ia the recent election. The heaviest in
crease is shown at Suunysidc, where $50
votes were poled, an increase OF 200 votes
In Two years Ia this city the 1000 mark
was nearly reached, showing an increase
OF 100. The population Of the county is
now conscratWoy placed at $4,000. The
census OF 1870 placed the population OF
this county just over the 10000 line. Thus
an increase OF 40 per cent is shown in six
years.

Tullys salutation was one Of the very

he imagined when the man from the Capt
tai city disclaimed in a very modest and
gentlcmanly manner that he was the party

was probably another case OF mistaken

and offered to wager large odds that he
was correct The offers We're accepted aud
an appeal was taken TO the father of Guy
Cotter, who was in the city Saturday
night.
