Aguinaldo, president by his own proc
lamation Of the Republica Filipina, is
an ornamental little cuss. The Sun has
a Manila cable stating that he has sup
plemented his proclamation with an
edict prescribing in detail the court
cress of his cabinet and other officials.
He adopts for his own insignia a gold
collar, with a triangular gold pendant,
on which will be engraved q sun and
three stars. He will also carry a gold
whistle and a stick ornamented with
a gold tassel. If the reported love of
display Of finery by Gen. Miles is cor
rect, it is pity he could not have gone
to the Philippines instead of to Porto
Rico. The spectacle of the little bar
barian, respondent in his gold collar,
summoning his trembling subordinates
with a blast upon his gold whistle,
would delight the heart of one given to
personal ornamentation.

Mexican Cattle.

The remarkable growth of the e1.
ports of Mexican cattle to the United
States forms the subject Of a report
to the state department at Washington,
from Consul Kindrick at Ciudad Jua.
rez. He says that while it was sup
posed the large exports were attribut'
able to desire to ~forestall the in
creased duties carried by tho Dingley
act, yet this has proved to be erroneous
for the trade goes on increasing stead
ily until the cattlemen in many cases
have exhausted their herds and all have
realized handsomely. The island OF
Cuba draws about 5000 head pei
month and the consul says the price OF
cattle for home consumption in Mexico
will riso to point where they cannot
be proftably handled. There are not
many cattle left in Mexico and the
quality exported to the United States
is of low grade, much affecting prices
| in the southwest.

Condition of tho Rice Crop.

o. K. Lake. manager of the Y. E.
Lake Rice Milling Company, of West
lake, Lake Charles parish, was asked
about the condition of the rice crop, and
said that his mill was running on full
time; that they were buying all the rice
they could get and we're refusing none,
The prices and the market are steady.
"We have just shipped cut carload Of
seed rice which is to be planted for the
next crop" remarked Mr.. Lake. In
response to the question as to whether
or not there is danger of IN overpro
duction of rice in the near future, Mr..
Lake said: "There is not aud never
will be SO long as the people are able to
buy what they want to eat. The North.
ern markets are consuming more and
more rice every season, and as the peo'
pie of the North and West become edu.
Gated in its use it will become a staple
instead OF delicacy. Last summer we
had some friends out from Ohio and we
gave them rice in some Of the dishes
like we have down here, and they were
highly pleased. They relished the
dishes. The japanese rice is something
very fine and has a more ready sale
than any other kind. There is one
trouble about it, which may be over
come, however, and that is that it soon
runs out mean that after few sea-
sons The fruit becomes inferior and i'm
ported seed must be used again. This
is expensive. 1t is probable that some
fertilizer will be found which can be
used in preserving the good qualities OF
this rice and the seed can be grown at
home. I look upon the future OF the
rice industry in this country as being
very bright, indeed. The irrigation
schemes will be very helpful, and that
in more ways than one. The irrigated
rice crop is sure one, and, best Of all
the fruit is superior that of the provi
dence crop, and what is most needed is
to improve the quality OF the product.

THE VERDICT INSPIRED AWE
The Most Momentous Action Taken by
 Congress in Years.

Those who were fighting for the rec ognition of the Cuban republic early decided that the senate should not take the initiative in requesting a confer ence between the two houses. They further resolved that when the senate conferees were finally appointed at least two of them should represent the majority sentiment of the body.
 The radical advocates of indepen- dence slowly, but none the less surely, lost ground, however, being swept back by the powerful and compact minority opposed to them. They yielded only after one of the bitterest contests in the history of the senate They capit- ulated, but did not surrender.
 When finally the verdict came from the conference committee there was a hush in the great chamber, which a few seconds before had been thrilling with animation. When the verdict had been rendered and accepted by the sen ate the audience dispersed quietly, al most solemnly.
 All realized that the verdict meant war and the action taken was tco mo- mentous to inspire anything less than awe.

WAR IS AT LAST DECLARED.

advocates of recognition Of the inde- pendence of the island republic stand ing their ground until they were fairly knocked down by a vote of F to 3a.
 The minority vote was cast by those who wanted radical action and insisted that the resolution should carry with It a recognition of the independence Of the Cuban republic.
 The adoption of the conference re- port brought to a close one of the most interesting and tumultuous sessions of the senate held in years. Such scenes of confusion and excitement have rarely been witnessed in that ordinal y staid and dignified body as character ized the proceedings from noon yester- day until nearly o'clock this morning
 Interest in all other questions was dwarfed into insignificance by the overwhelming question of war, wal which all now agree to be absolutel! inevitable.

Washington, April 19.-After one of the hottest fought battles between the two houses known in many years, con- gress at an early hour this morning came to an agreement upon the most momentous questions it has dealt with in a third of century.
 The Cuban resolution was passed and will be sent to the president this morning. Its provisions mean ex- pulsion of Spain from the island of Cuba by the armed forces of the United States.
 There were many roll calls in both houses and each body held tenaciously to it's own resolution. The conferees had great difficulty in agreeing.
 The conference showed a determina- tion on the part of the house not to yield a single point and it was only after long consultations with the house leaders that they agreed to allow the  little words, land are," in the first section of the senate resolution which declares that "the people of Cuba are and of right ought to be free and in- dependent"
 The resolution as finally adopted was that reported from the senate committee on foreign relations with the adoption of the fourth section known as the Teller amendment, dis claiming any intention on the part oi the United States to acquire Cuba.
 The resolution cannot be sent to the president until after it is signed by the presiding officers today

THE VICTORIOUS HOUSE.
Only Six Votes Cast Against the Con-
 ference Report.

Washington, April 19.-The house after one of the hardest and most des- perate fights in it's history succeeded in forcing the senate to yield the main contention in the war resolution-the independence of the existing govern ment of Cuba.
 With that exception the house ac- cepted the senate resolutions. Re- publicans who joined with democrats in an attempt to concur in the senate amendments entire, rallied fourteen votes at one time and on every vote thereafter the vote dwindled. When the final vote was taken short ly before 3 o'clock this morning, 31( votes were cast for the declaration upon which we are going to war, il war is to be. Six votes only were cast against it. They included five repub- licans and one democrat

Incidents Leading Up to the Culmi
 hating Event of This Morning.

Washington, April 1S.-The house convened at 10 o'clock, but took an- other recess until 12 o'clock because the senate was not in session. The populists had an informal conference during the interim in the house and decided to stand to a man for the senate resolution as it passed the sen- ate. Several senators were on the floor, among them Senator Burrows of Michigan, appealing to their colleagues in the house to stand by the president The scene on the floor resembled a political convention The members were scurrying about caucusing in groups and discussing the situation. Caucuses were held by the republicans of several state delegations. Shortly before 12 o'clock Senator Hanna ap- peared on the floor of the house and had a consultation with General Gros- venor of Ohio.
 As the hands of the clock pointed to noon the speaker ascended the ros- trum and with one resounding whack of his gave1 silenced the confusion. As soon as the resolutions were read Mr. Dingley and MT. Bailey were on their feet MT. Dingley was recognized and immediately moved a concurrence in the senate amendment striking out the clause to the first resolution which recognized the independence of the existing republic, so that the first par agraph of the senate amendment will read as follows:
 "First-That the people of the island of Cuba are and of right ought to be free and independent The demand for the previous question shut off the amendment and the debate.
 No division was asked on the mo- tion for the previous question, but upon the main question chorus of de- mands from both sides went up for the yeas and nays. Democrats started tc applaud every republican who voted
 mo- but the promised defection ci
 over twenty-five members on the re
 publican side did not materialize and the democrats only had four oppor- tun1t1es to applaud. It was apparent
 before the end of the first roll call tha they were defeated. Their disap
 continent was manifest on their faces | while the countenances of the republi
 cans were correspondingly joyful. Tit
 Dlngley motion was adopted by vot ,, of 179 to 156.

 Whereas, The abhorrent conditions which have existed for more than three years in the island of Cuba, so near our own borders, have shocked the moral sense of the people of the United States, have been disgrace to Chris tian civilization, eliminating as they have in the destruction of a United States battleship and 266 of it's officers and crew while on a friendly visit in their harbor of Havana, and

 "First-That the people of the island of Cuba are, and of right ought to be, independent
 'Second-That it is the duty of the United States to demand, and the gov ernment of the United States does hereby demand, that the government of Spain do at once relinquish its author ity and government in the island of Cuba and withdraw it's land and naval forces from Cuba and Cuban waters.
 "Third-That the president of the United States be, and he is hereby di- rected and empowered, to use the en- tire land and naval forces of the United States and call into the actual service of the United States the militia of the several states to the extent nec- essary to carry these resolutions into effect.
 "Fourth-That the United States hereby disclaims any disposition or intention to exercise sovereignty, jurisdiction or control over said islands except for pacification thereof, and asserts it's determination when that is accomplished to leave the government and control of the island to it's people.
