II Is surprising that the Houston mer-
chants do not realize that Christian En-
dcavorers, like all other organizations. like
to be clannish and they are much more
likely TO pstronlze the merchants who dis
play the Christian Endcavor convention
colors than those who do not. There Is
something particularly attractive TO a
stranger about a store which displays the
oolors which mean SO much TO him. This
is n great convention and Houston mer-
chants should appreciate the privilege and
display the green and white, the g, colors.

CONGRESS tOhtUAor.
what the Senate and House Are Likely
TO DO This Week.


WAsHINGToN, Jan. 25.-The senate pro-
gramme this week is rendered very uncer-
tain by the condition of the Nicaragua
canal bill With that measure out of the
way the bankruptcy bill probably would
be given the right of way early IN the
week but even with the road cleared to
the extent of the removal Of the Nicaragua
bill it is not probable that any hcGdway
would be made with the bankruptcy bill
before Wednesday.
Tomorrow Senator Chandler expects to
secure vote on his bill providing for the
representation of this country ut an inter
national monetary conference. There viii
be several short speeches and moro OF less
running debate on this measure, bat it is
believed that all substitutes and amend
ments viii be voted down and the bill
passed before the close of the day set for its
consideration Senator Cameron has a
substitute requiring this government to
take the initiative in calling % conference,
which may give the movers of the original
bill moro or less trouble The bankruptcy
bill viii be debated at considerable length
when reached, though Senator George its
especial champion, as reported to the SEN
ate, is absent from the city.
Senator Morgan viii make a strenuous
effort to prevent the Nicaragua canal bill
from losing its place as the unfinished
business on the calendar, and, it is under
stood, viii submit amendments which
will meet the demands of those who hold
that the bill requires further work by
committee in view of the new position OF
Nicaragua as developed by Minister Ro-
driguez's letter. The senator will take the
position that the bill should be amended
in the senate if not satisfactory, and that
il should then be voted upon and not sent
back to committee.
Senator Elect Kenney Of Delaware may
present his credentials during the week,
but not until after the committee on privi-
leges and elections, which is to meet Thurs
lay, shall have passed upon the Dupont
petition and the Addicks credentials.
The most interesting feature of the
house programme for the present week,
unless the Nicaragua canal bill should
receive consideration, which in view OF
che recent complications seems entirely
improbable, win be the fight against the
conference report on the immigration bill
/ Mr.. Bartholdt Of Missouri who made an
Intellectual attempt 20 prevent the bill
! from going to conference, viii lead the op
| position TO the bill, as agreed on by th'
! conferees. There seems 20 be little doub
that the friends of the measure win b
/ triumphant in the end, as the sentimen
in favor Of an immigration bill in th
house is, az shown by the votes on preyi
ous occasions, i'm a strong majority. New
erthcless Mr. Bartholdt proposes to do al
i'm his power 20 defeat the conferences re
port
Two appropriation bills, the agricultur
and Indian, viii probably consume the re
mainder Of the week. There are some fen
lures Of bo,h bills which may cause con
siderable debate. Such time as can b
spared viii be given TO the committees t.
call up such bills as have been reported b.

ship of the Eastern End of Long Island.
BRIDGEHAMPTON. n. Y, Jan 25.-Ev-
cry one in this section is interested in the
decision given at Rivcrhead by Judge
Reeve, under which the small remnant of
the Montauk tribe of Indians is allowed
to bring suit against the Long Island rail-
road and other corporations. The suit will
be brought In the name of the tribe by
Wyandank Pharaoh the present chief.
The Montauks claim the whole of Long
Island east Of Canoe Place inn and south
west of it, alleging that the farmers and
Others now occupying land arc squatters.
The suit will doubtless be entered at the
next or at the latest the second term of
court after the present one. That final de-
cision viii be reached for many years. per
haps for a generation, is doubtful. All the
acts and laws passed relative to the Indi-
ans and their lands by the colonial, state
and national government will have TO be
gone over by both sides in search of evi-
dence. Even the colonial records of Eng
land will be searched.
The cost will be great, but the stake is
worth fighting for. The land in dispute is
worth many millions Of dollars and in
cludes Fort Pond and the land there
abouts, where the late Austin Corbin
hoped to establish a great port. Those who
hold deeds to property in this section real
ize that the placing of their property i'm
jeopardy will make sales of land well nigh
impossible, except at low prices.
