ported Dy tDe committee
Mr.. Terry asked Mr.. Qaigg if the
committee on foreign affairs had coz
sidered the De Lone incident.
"That is hardly pertinent inquiry"
replied Mr.. Quigg blandly.
ut is pertinent inquiry in the
minds of the American people," ex-
claimed Mr.. Terry, land don't you for
get it"
''It is being considered by the proper
authorities retorted MIR. Qnigg.
Mr.. Cooper called attention to the
fact that early 10 the session, during
the consideration of the diplomatic ap-
preparation bill, Mr.. Hit, chairman
of the foreign affairs committee,
had stated on the floor in explicit
terms that Spain had abandoned the
policy of concentration. He wanted to
know why this inquiry, when the COM
mittee knew, from Mr.. Hits state
ment, that the policy of concentration
had been reversed.
Mr.. Quigg responded that this resolu-
ton would put the House in complete
possession of the facts. There was no
effort on the part of the minority TO
contest the ordering of the previous
question and the resolution was adopt
ed without dissenting voice.
A bill to grant the Pennsylvania r.
R. Co. the exclusive privilege of cab
service to and from its station in this
city attracted the opposition of MIR. Bal
ley, the democratic leader, who de-
uounced it as an attempt to create a
monopoly. "Cheapness of service" he
declared, twas less to be desired than
monopoly was to be abhored."
1t was explained by Mr.. Babcock that
the cab service furnished by this COM
pany in New York has proved cheap
and acceptable and had been highly
commended.
Mr.. Norton asked why this privilege
vas restricted to one railroad company.
Mr.. Babcock replied that the other
railroads running into the city declined
to furnish the service. He said they
said it was not profitable. The Penn
sylvania railroad gave the service as q
convenience to its passengers to
induce traffic The bill was amended by at
taching the schedule of fares submitted by
the company. A motion to order the pre-
vious question, test motion, was defeated,
As s., and the bill was then laid on the ta.
bio without division.

The XOla Trial.

PARIS, Feb. 14.-When the trial of
NM. lola and Perreux was resumed
to-day NJ. Jaurez. the socialist member
of the Chamber of Deputies, reiterated
his beliefin the culpsbility of Major Es-
terhszy. NJ. Bertillon, the handwriting
expert, said he thought it impossible to
ask the minister OF war for the incrmi.
mailing docum ants seized at the resi-.
dence of Dreyfus in 1894, which would
enable him TO prove that Dreyfus wrote
the bordereau. Being pressed to ex.
plain how, unless he had seen the &C.
cret documents, he was able to prove at
the court martial that Dreyfus wrote
the bordereau, NJ. Bsrtillon answered
that he could not explain without doc
uments which were no longer in his
possession. This statement caused o
sensation in court. Finally III. Bertil-
lon, who persisted in not answering
questions, LETT the witness stand amidst
considerable uproar, III. Laborie re-.
marking, "And that is the man upon
whose evidence Dreyfus was convicted"
NJ. Yves Guyot, the former minister
of public works, testified that the Es-
terhazy court martial was parody on
Justice" Excitement in court) The
further statement of NJ. Guyot that the
inner circles OF foreign governments
were fully cognizant of all that occur
red at the Esterhazy court martial
caused renewed sensation. Later Nj.
Guyot expressed the opinion that the
government commissioner who prose-
cuted Major Esterhszy was far more
like counsel for the defense than the
prosecutor. 81 am happy in the belief
that all the hest sentiment in France
supports NJ. Zola," said the witness.

THE ex-Spanish minister said Mr..
Mckinley was catering to the 'rabble." "
The New York World says there is no
such thing as rabble in this country.
WHY not? The rabble is the lowest
sort of people. There are high and
low people in all countries, and though
this is supposed to be land of equality,
that there are both sorts here also, is q
fact that goes without saying. There
is a rabble here as there was in old
Athens and Rome, aud as there always
will bs everywhere, as long as human
nature shall remain as it is.

CONGRESSMAN LANDS of Indiana,
gold headed republican, says the peo-
pie of the South are ignorant and not
''up to date and therefore poor and
squalid, but those of the North are
highly intelligent and thoroughly in-
formed, and that consequently the ma
terial condition of the latter is infinite
" superior to that of the former, or
words to that effect. He said this in
Boston last Saturday night, and yet,
thousands upon thousands of the
people OF New England are now
on strikes or lock-outs, are dissat-
isfed, discontinued, hungry and be-
coming unruly, while in the South,
even the many who are in enforced
i lleness are managing TO worry along
pretty we'll on bacon and corn bread,
in the full knowledge that they are not
in the remotest degree responsible for
the high tariff and scarce money that
have produced the present industrial
depression. Mr.. Lands should read
the newspapers. and not rely upon his
inner consciousness for his alleged facts.

HOUSE.

There was considerable excitement
among the members of the House be-
fore the assembling to-day owing to an
imperative summons sent out late last
night by one of the subordinate officials
of the House to each republican mem
Der impressing the urgent necessity OF
his presence at the session to-day. At
first no one seemed to know the purpose
OF this rallying call and ali sorts of
rumors were afloat. All that was def
nitely known at first was that some.
thing in regard to Cuba was to be
brought up in the House, although
under the rules this was District of
Columbia day. The galleries were
crowded. Among those in the gallery
was Senior Quesads and several other
Cubans connected with the junta. 1t
turned out that Chairman Hit, of the
foreign affairs committee. was merely
to cali up some resolutions reported by
his committee, calling upon the State
Department for general information,
one of which related to Cuba, and the
notice had been sent out ss a pre-
cautionary measure to prevent the pos
sible amendment OF the resolution by
the opposition, proceeding which
would be in order if the previous ques-
ton were voted down.
Immediately after the reading of the
journal Mr.. Royce presented the unan-
imous report of committee on elections
Nc. 2 in the case of Vanderbury VS..
Tongue from the second Oregon dis
trict, in favor of the sitting member and
it was adopted without division or de-
bate.
Mr.. Quigg, member of the foreign
affairs-eommlttee, was then recognized.
He first called up resolution reported
from the foreign affairs committee,
calling upon the Secretary OF State to
transmit to the House the correspon-
dence relating to the discrimination of
the German government against the i'm
portstion OF American beef, fruit or
horses. 1t was adopted without divi-
sion.
Mr.. Quigg followed this with mis- Gu
ban resolution directing the Secretary
of State to inform the House what in-
formation has been received concerning
the present condition OF the concen-
trados in Cuba, and what steps have
been taken by the Spanish government
for feeding them.
Mr.. Quigg made brief statement,
saying that in December the President
had notified the House that the indie
feasible policy of concentration in Cuba
had been abandoned by Spain in defer
euce to the requests of this govern
ment and that more peaceful and hu-
name policy had been adopted. The
object of this resolution was simply to
ascertain what had been done and
what steps had been taken looking to
the acceptance of autonomy by tie
Cuban people. Three months" he
added, "baye elapsed since autonomy
had been promulgated" In order 10
retain control of the floor Mr.. Quigg
asked for the previous question, but

resolution had been unanimously re-

THAT IS IT EXACTLY.

People sometimes wonder how it is
that the w. K. Henderson Iron Works
has assumed such proportions, covered
so wide a territory in its business re-
lations. in so short t time. This is not a
matter of much surprise when the mat
ter is investigated. Prompt attention to
business; good work done; courteous
department towards patrons and rea-
sonable prices has ever been winning
card and will continue to be as long as
civilization lasts. And this is the key
to the situation with the w. X. Hender-
son Iron Works. While studying their
own business. they have an eye open to
the best advantage of their patrons.
They have the best foundry in North
Louisiana and sell the best make of
