Miss Loie Fuller, the celebrated
skirt and gauze dancer, passed through
Ell Paso this afternoon. She came with
her mother and manager from San
Francisco over the S. P, after very
prosperous season in that city, and is
now en- route to the City of Mexico.
To a HERALD reporter at the S. p.
station. Miss Fuller said that she did
not know whether she would return
this way or not, as her tickets had been
sent to her from the City of Mexico,
and she could not see them until on the
other side.
She is bright little woman, with
wavy auburn hair, sparkling eyes, and
a sprightliness of expression and step
that would attract attention to her any
where. Miss Fuller speaks French
fuently, but is weak on Spanish which
she would like to catch onto, and while
waiting at the s. z. station, improved
her time by quizzing Mexican girls,
and asking what this that and the
other thing was in Spanish.
Miss Fuller is unhampered
by corsets. She does not
believes in such restraints to the
OF nature, and only once
when quite young did she have one on,
and then she got rid of the pesky
things never to con them again. She
is considerably under the average
stature, but, as they say down in New
Hampshire, she is smarter than a steel
trap, and people talking to her forget
about her size in admiring her vlvacity
and conversational powers.

WHERE TYPOGRAPHY FAILED.
1t Might Do for Small Bundles and

There was a man who lived in London
many wears ago who had once been
elected member of parliament, and
never neglected an opportunity to en-
phasiZe the fact, says an exchange.
He was quite an infidel as to new dis
covCrics and the new sciences, being
perfectly satisfied that if the world
should turn over all the water would
spill out of his well, and only giving
in to steam locomotives by slow degrees
But all the vials of his contempt were
poured out upon the idea of a telegraph,
and he was wont to say that nobody
need try to come the green" over him
in that way, for he had beer an NJ. T..
Finally Il high road was built, and one
day workmcn began to put up telegraph
poles right in front of his house and to
stretch the wire. His eXulting neigh
bors promptly asked:
well, old fellow, what do you think
of telegraphs now?'
lie was cOrnered, but he died game.
Drawing himself up an inch taller, he
said:
"Gcntlemen, when was in parliament
l gave this subject my very attentive
| consideration, and | said then, as |
say now, that it may do for letters and
! small bundles, but it will never take Il
| cotton bale-never!"

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE senate
made its bankruptcy bill special order
for Monday, 25th. Mr.. Proctor
addressed the senate on the ineligibi

Mr.. Mills. (Texas) then addressed
the senate in support of the joint reso'
luton which reads:
THAT the expediency of recognizing
the independence of foreign govern
ments belongs to congress and when
congress shall so determine the
executive should act in harmony with
the legislative department OF the
government; that the independence of
Cuba hereby is recognized, and $40, 900
is hereby appointed for the salary
and expenses of minister to that gov
ernment."
Mr., Mills began his speech on the
Cuban matter at 80 p. m. with thir-
teen democrats and six republican
senators in their seats. He spoke in
the high keyed voice natural to him,
and which is so difficult to maintain in
a long-continued address. The public
gallery was half filed. At the outset
Mr.. Mills assailed the position assumed
by President Cleveland in his annual
message on the Cuban matter, and
when interrupted by Mr.. Gray, dem }
Delaware, who asked whence the sena-
tor derived one particularly pungent
extract, Mr.. Mills answered that he
was reading from the message of Presi-
lent Monroe. Mr.. Mills had numer
)us books spread out on two desks that
le occupied for the time being.
