THE Annexation Of TEXAS |


governments, Mexico offered to con
clude peace with Texas on condition
that she would not seek annexation to
the United States. The preliminary
articles were signed by the Mexican
cabinet May 10, lS4j, and laid before
the Texas government June ., 1S45.
But il was too late. Pee.
Meanwhile II wave of popular feel
ing had swept over the United States.
Van Buren, lost the nomination Tor
the presidency in the Democratic con-
vention, May ~. 1874, on account of
his opposition to the annexation of
Texas. The war cry of the victorious
Democracy was POLK, Dallas, Texas
and Oregon!"
In order to carry out this verdict of
the people, a joint resolution for the
annexation of Texas was passed in
the House of Representatives by 100
votes to 9S. 1t was strongly opposed
in the Senate, where by Benton's in
huence Section was added as COM
promise. Thus amended the resolu-
ton passed the Senate by a'vote of 81
to %, and was signed by President
Taylor March /, lS45.
OF this transaction Mr.. Edwin VIII
liams in his "Statesman's Manual"
gives the following account: These
resolutions of annexation had been
objected to by Messrs. Benton and
Bagby. Senators of the Democratic
party, on the ground of its being in
dispensible to the accomplishment of
annexation. that a treaty should be
made with the government of Texas
as foreign power. and that the trea-
~ making power by the constitution.
is vested in the President and the
Senate, and not in Congress. At the
suggestion of these two Senators, an
amendment was added to the resolu-
tionS from the House of Representa-
tives, giving Il discretion to the Pres
ident to adopt the latter method, of
proceeding by treaty, if he thought
proper. instead of the method of di-
rect annexation contemplated by the
resolution from the house. 1t was I'M
derstood that without this modifica-
tion. the resolution. which passed the
Senate by a majority. of two votes.
would not have received the votes of
those two Senators. and consequently
the measure of annexation would not
have carried. How far the constiiu-
tional objections of Senators Benton
and Bagby were obviatdd by the
amendment, seems to have depended
entirely upon their faith in the Pres
ident's selecting the course which
they deemed to be in accordance with

No Emotion When the Verdict IL
Announced - His AccOinplice's
Fate In Problematical.
Martin Thorn Must Die.
ELK POINT, S. D.

Martin Thorn was. on Tuesday convicted
Of murder in the first degree in killing
William ~GuIdensurpe, his predecessor in
the affections of Mrs. Augusta Mack, at
sWooaside, l.. L.. On June %. Thorn heard
the juuymen polled on their verdict, but
his face never changed color during the
trying ordeal. Wi,hlips firmly compressed
and jaws hard set, he faced the judge, jury
and court room full OF spectators with
we'll feigned stoicism.
About three weeks ago Thorn's first
trial on. the charge. of murder was begur,
but owing to the illness of a Juror it had
to. be abandoned after three days. A
second, trial opened a week ago last Mon
day, and counting out three days on which
the court did not sit, the trial consumed
only six days.
sJast what will become of Mrs. Mack has
not been made known by the Queens
County authorities, but it is generally
thought that the people will accept a plea
from her which will not call for capital
punishment.

Horrible Fate Of Two Americans in
Congo Free State.

Horrible Fate Of Two Americans in
Congo Free State.
A startling and horrible story Of the
killing of two Washingtonians, Lindsay
G. Burke and Mr.. Mellen, and the mutt
lation Of their bodies by the natives Of
the Congo Free State, has been received in
a letter to Lee Harmon, of Washington,
d. c. The men were members OF a party
who during November and December, 1894,
and January, 1895, went to enlist in the
Belgian army for service in the Congo
state. The information received by Mr..
Harmon is that last December Burke and
a party of fifty natives, who were sent out
to dislodge a band of dwarfs who had re-
volted were ambushed and killed. An Arab
who was with the command, states that
the most hideous looking little man he
ever saw walked up and cut Burke's head
off with one blow of a knife. The chief
then began to slice pieces off his legs and
arms and to distribute them among his
followers.
Mr.. Mellen was killed on March l, when
the troups under the command OF Baron
Dhanic revolted near Kabanarre and as
sassinated a number Of officers of there
regiments. His body was mutilated al
most beyond recognition, his heart having
been cut out and burned so that his courage
could not again be used against the rebels
by the whites.

Filing of stock Brands.

A request has been sent to all of tho
stockmen Of the state by Secretary of state.
Roddell, requesting that the fling of stock
brands be completed as soon as possible
before the meeting of the stock brand com
mittee. Considerable dissatisfaction 10,
shown among the smaller stockmen
against the brand law. There has been
but little mixing of brands and very little
trouble in time past, and it is thought that
the new law will cause a great deal of
trouble among the cattlemen of the east
and the western ranges of the state.
Without a doubt the same brands are in
use IN both sections of the state, and no
conttictionS ever would occur, but when
the brands are all registered there can be
but one brand Of The same design, which
will necessitate the %rebranding of a great
