After a very lively debate in the
House, during which Mr.. Bailey
(dem.) of Texas criticised the admin
stration for its hardness, the Can
non resolution allowing The erection
of Notifications on private property
was passed.
In spite of the intense pressure
brought to bear upon him Mr.. Nc
Kinley has stood firmly for a settle
ment with Spain without war II pos
sible, and it has been generally be
lieved that il he was not unduly
crowded he would be able, by diplo'
macy, to avert the horrors of war.
1t was expected that he would have
a message ready for congress by
today "Wednesday and that in that
document he would not yield one jot
in his determination to stop the in
human persecution OF the Cubans, or
hesitate to announce emphatically
this country's sympathy with them
and it's desire that they be free.
The Pope is said to have expressed
to Spain his wish to arbitrate be-
tween her and Cuba with view to
averting a conflict with the United
States.
The situation is extremely critical,
and the next few days-if not the
next few hours-will decide whether
peaceful methods will prevail or war
necessarily follow. 1t is to be sin

Greatness hath it's disadvantages
and it's annoyances. For instance,
the Springfield Union of the 4th pub
lished a portrait under which the
name Of Congressman Grout appears; ;
but If the hustling congressman ever
looked like that picture it must have
been at some epoch of his life when
nobody about here knew him. The
portrait looks as much unlike Gen.
Grout as it possibly could.

County Politics.

The air is beginning to be thlckened
with talk on county politics, al
though there is not enough Of stil
yet to warrant anybody's getting
excited. The governorship will de
mand a good deal Of attention from
this time on to the date Of the con
vention, and we are going to get a
good governor out of it. But the
people OF Caledonia county, in com
mon with those OF other counties
will need to be arranging for another
list of officers.
II we remember rightly, St. Johns,
bury did not get senator two years
ago. the honor falling to Barnet and
Lyndon, which towns, by the way,
gave US two working senator's OF
whom the county has had no cause
to be ashamed. According to the
rule adopted at the last county con-
vention two years ago-a decidedly
poor rule, we think-we are to have
two new senators this fall. We I'M
derstand that Judge T. B. Hall Of
Groton is in the field as candidate
for one of the scholarships, and there
does not seem to be any good reason
why his candidacy should not grow
in favor and ripen so thoroughly by
the time the convention meets as to
warrant that body's giving him a
unanimous nomination. Judge Hall
did excellent service on the bench; he
is a level. headed, practical business
man, and can be safely sent to Mont
pelier next fall. St. Johnsbury should
have one OF the senator's.

ment and Sheriff Sulloway will I'M
doubtedly be perfectly satisfied to
succeed themselves-and they should
be allowed to do so. As far as we
can learn, no opposition to them is
contemplated.
When it comes to the states at
torneyship, there are two ambitious
lawyers who want to succeed Mr..
Taylor, and, as we understand it,
Mr.. Taylor expects to be succeeded.
L. P. Slack and D. E. Porter are can.
didates, and either one would fill the
bill nicely. Mr.. Slack has been as.
sured the support of his St. Johns

between the two candidates, he has
had the longer experience in the legal
field, although not so long a resident

That Tired Feeling,

BIG FIGHT OVER ASSETS.
Creditors of a Missing Real Estate
Boomer in Court.

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. THE chokered ca
reer of L. p. Brown, the Western "capi-
talist," who came to Atlanta a few years
ago, built half hundred houses and went,
no one knows where, is being investigated
before Judge w. H. FELTON, Of the Macon
circuit, presiding in Fulton Superior
Court, on account of the disqualification
of Judge Lumpkin.
The issue involved in the case is about
$1,000 worth of property, which Brown left
behind him for several hundred thousand
dollars worth of creditors to fight over.
Brown was the head of what was known
as the Chicago syndicate, which began OPP
erations here. in the fall of 1892. In their
operations the syndicate obtained money
Company of Atlanta, the Security Invest
ment of Cincinnati and the New South
Building and Loan Association of New
Orleans.
Brown, having begun the erection of an
immense number of houses, was soon con-
fronted with fall in real estate values
which convinced him there was no profit
in his carrying his plans to completion,
SO he departed from Atlanta.
In the summer of 1898, King & Anderson
lawyers, representing Willingham & Co.
OF this city, filed a bill for a receiver
against the syndicate, and the vafious
companies which claimed to have
mortgages on the property the
syndicate had owned. A. P. Stewart
was appointed receiver and on July 2. 1891.
the case was referred to Judge Calhoun.

for more than three years filed his report
last December. In his report he sustained

set aside the liens of the Security Invest
ment Company and the New South Build
ing and Loan Association, putting them on
the level with other creditors on the
ground that they had charged usurious
rates or interest. Most of the creditors
were firms and companies which had fur
nished material used in building the
houses. 1t will take two weeks or more to
hear the case.

Hundreds of staIactites Hanging
From the Walls.
City of Mexico, Feb. 7.-Prof. Saville
connected with the American Museum of
Natural History, has returned from an
interesting journey of exploration in the
state of Chiapas, where he visited the
ruins of Palenque and his report con-
firms the previous reports of the vast ex-
tent Of that ancient city, and the elabo-
rate character of the ornamentation of
the houses, which are now concealed with
the dense forest growth.
Before Prof. Saville could begin his in
vestigations it required a force of men
working three days to clear out the
growth before he could get anywhere near
the ruins.
Inside of the buildings magnificent stuc-
co and terra Gotta figures are covered
with organisations and on the walls hang
hundreds of stalactites. Prof. Saville said
this was wonderful, and it is one of the
few places in the world where such could
be found. He said the government should
do something towards keeping the ruins
in better condition.
