Man and Horse nuokod Into the River

Man and Horse Bucked Into the River.
From the Dallas Chronicle: Henry
Boyen had an experience Thursday
with horse that was decidedly excit
ing. Having some cattle to look after
in the Gilmer neighborhood, he took a
horse to Rankin's landing, near the
mouth Of the White Salmon. He blind
folded the horse and mounted. and
without waiting for the blind to be
lifted the horse commenced to buck in
a manner that would make a common
cayuse quit just from envy. After do
ing the grand and lofty tumbling act
for several minutes without unseating
his rider, the vicious brute reached
around, caught hold of Boyen's leg
with his mouth, and tried to pull him
off. Failing in this he deliberately
bucked into the river. AS he struck
deep water he held his head down and
sank. At this stage Mr.. Boyen had
enough, as he didn't care to go into the
demonstrating business, so he threw
himself backward and foated off. AS
he got loose his spur tangled in the
horses tail, but he placed the other
foot on the animals rump and pulled
himself loose, The horse went under
long enough to drown himself, while
Boyen, having on all his cowboy toy
gerry, had hard struggle to reach the
shore. The horse was pulled out, but
just turned over and died.

Hohenllnden.

BY torch and trumpet fast array'd,
Each horseman drew his battle-blade,
And furious every charger nelgh'd
TO join the dreadful revelry.
Then shook the hills with thunder rlven
Then rush'd the steed to battle driven,
And louder than the bolts of heaven,
Far fiash'd the red artillery.
And redder yet that light shall glow
On Llnden's hills Of stained snow,
And bloodier yet the torrent flow
or Iser, rolling rapidly
IT is morn but scarce yon level sun
Can pierce the war-clouds, rolling dun,
Where furio Is Frank, and fiery Hun,
Shout in their sulphurous canopy.
The combat deepens On, we brave,
Who rush to glory, or the gravel
Wave, Munich, all thy banners wave!
And charge with all thy chivalry!
Few, few shall part where many meet!
The snow shall be their winding-sheet,
And every turf beneath their feet,
Shall be soldiers sepulchre.

REPUBLICAN CAuCus.
No Action Taken ON the Question OF
nimctallism.


Washington, January 12.--The repub-
iican senatorial caucus today did not re-
suit in any final action on the question OF
international bimetallism. which the eau
Gus was called to consider. but adjourned
until Friday. This failure was not due to
any opposition to the proposition to pro-
vide means for conference. but to the
fact that the language OF the bin pre-
pared by the Wolcott committee was OBJ
jectionabe to some. The bin as drafted
provides for the consideration OF the free
mintngc OF silver. Some OF the Western
members of the caucus objected to this
wording. saying that 1t should be SO
amended as TO provide for free and un-
limited coinage Senator Allison impressed
the caucus in brief speech with the ne
ccssity OF u complete outline OF what was
wanted II was suggested that II would
be better TO adjourn and take time TO make
the bill complete and acceptable to all
than TO attempt to make amendments
while not in session.
Tho suggestion was adopted with the
understanding that the democrats and pop
ulIs,s also he consulted with regard to the
proposed change Very little was said
during tho conference as TO the probability
of securing conference or of its success
II secured. Some of the senators expressed
the opinion that France. Holland and bel e
GUM would be friendly To the movement
The caucus was lightly attended. The re-
puhlicans who bolted the st. Louis con-
yention were not invited.

English Comment on the Treaty.

London, January 12.--The Chronicles
Washington correspondent says:
Secretary Olney, replying to the question
of tho Russian minister. Mr.. T.. G. Jost-
burg. as TO whether the arbitration treaty
with England was offensive and defensive
or anything in the nature of an alliance
said that the question might be answered
YES and no. That in theory and diplomatic
acceptance it was not an alliance, but
that il is an alliance in support OF the
Monroe doctrine which England recognized
by the terms of the Venezuelan treaty.
"If the arbitration treaty is ratified"
Mr.. Olney said. "it practically makes
Great Britain our alley for the main
tenance and enforcement of the Monroe
doctrine"
l,he same correspondent, commenting
upon the above. says:
Mr.. Olney recognizes that England Is
tho more natural ally of America than
Russia. whose hitherto protested friend :
shin for the United States Is merely hatred
of England. 1t is probable that Russia VIII
do her best to persuade the senate not to
ratify the treaty.
The Chronicle in an editorial regards
the foregoing matter as OF the deepest ~
portance and says that 1t desires nothing
better than Russia shall take the course
indicated.
