IN THE SENATE
National Quarantine Regulations the
Subject Under Debate

WASHINGTON, March 15.-After the
passage today of numerous bills from the
general calendar the senate began the
consideration of a measure providing for a
national system of quarantine. Little be-
yond the reading of the bill was accom-
plished.
The deplorable death of Mrs. Thurston,
wife of the junior senator from Nebraska
Hon. John M. Thurston, was made the sub.
ject of a touching reference by the blind
chaplain in his invocation at the opening
of the senate's session. On motion Of Mr.
Allen, Mr.. Thurston's colleague from Ne
braska, the prayer was ordered printed in
the record.
A bill to regulate the collection and dis
bursement of moneys arising from leases
adopted by the Seneca nation to New York
Indians was passed.
Mr.. Gear of Iowa, chairman of the Pa
cific railroads committee, called up a bill
authorizing the secretary of the treasury
to effect an adjustment between the United
States and the Sioux City and Pacific
Railroad company in relation to bonds is
sued by the United States in aid of the
construction of the railroad, and asked
that it be passed.
Objection was made by Mr. Morgan of
Alabama, who moved that the bill be re-
committed to the committee. He was sup
ported by Mr.. Harris Of Kansas. Mr.. Al
len of Nebraska was inclined to the belief
that the bill provided the best solution OF
the problem presented. The bill was sub.
mitted to the committee without objection.

A CABINET MEETING
The Time Given to Discussion Of War
Questions

WASHINGTON, March 15-The meeting
of the cabinet at an earlier hour than
usual today had the effect of suspending
most of the active operations in the war
and navy departments during the fore
noon. 1t was not long, however. after the
meeting begun before some of the bureau
officers of the navy department were called
upon to supply information on technical
points, showing that the cabinet was more
or less concerned in the situation. The
agent in this country of the Thornycraft
Torpedo Boat company of England, Mr..
Platt, has submitted to Secretary Long Z
proposition for the sale to the government
of designs and complete working draw
ings of the magnificent torpedo-boat de-
stroyers built by his firm. Predicting that
the department would find 1t absolutely
impossible to buy any of these craft in

At special session of the volksraad to-
day President Kruger declared Judge

Having given his version of the matter.
President Kruger turning to the political
situation, said that people were Jealous of
the courntry's independence and the prog
ress It was making. No one knew what was
going to happen. But they must stand to-
getr.er. The government, he declared, had
replied to the British dispatch and the
reply would be published directly. He
knew that 1t had reached the hands of
Mr. Chamberlain. President Kruger con-

support of his opposition to annexation.
but listened in vain.
Under the authority of the constitution
and following the leadership of such Re-
publicaus as Grant Blaine and Harrison,
and In obedience to the platform Of his
party, President Mckinley has accepted
these islands, freely rendered to the United
States by competent authority. The
gentleman from Indiana Is apparently con-
tent with a vigorous denunciation Of this
policy. The logic of his position is the
absolute abandonment of these islands, or
it is nothing.
Ever since the islands of Hawaii have
been a factor in international politics, all
American statesmen and all political par
ties have regarded their commercial and
military advantages Of such peculiar value
to the United States that they deemed 1t
necessary to adopt and enforce the policy
of not alloying any foreign power to inter-
fere with, control or colonize them Since
1912 nine presidents have declared that no
foreign power should dominate the islands.
Notwithstanding the ability of those
who inaugurated this policy; notwith-
standing it's continued enforcement by all
political parties, and by the foremost
statesmen in the last half of this nine
teenth century, and Notwithstanding all
these men say that the fruit of their policy
would be the ultimate annexation of the
islands, the gentleman from Indiana tells
us the proposition OF annexation is a mere
bauble.'
"Relief government is for these people
thing of the past. 1t is inevitable that
in the near future some foreign power will
dominate their government. For myself,
/ would meet this question as James G.
Rlaine, in 1881 proposed. 1t was then feared
that the neutrality of the islands was no
longer practical and Mr.. Blaine said: This
government would then unhesitatingly
meet the altered situation by seeking an
avowedly American solution for the grave
issues presented meaning annexation"
Mr.. Tawney was warmly congratulated
when he concluded. At 6.10 p. m. the house
adjourned.

senate. The postoffice bill was taken up
in the house today, and the appropriations
and navy committee are working daily to
get at least two bills, the general deficiency
and naval, into the house.. The action of
the appropriations committee in prepar-
ins the general deficiency bill at this time
is the best evidence of the intention of the
leaders to secure an early adjournment.
The Democrats Of the house generally
favor an early adjournment, although there
is not unanmity among them on this point
Neither is there complete harmony on
the Republican side of the house as to an
early adjournment.
Many of the Republicans believe that
congress should remain in session until the

closed up, but they would hardly 60 to the

Valley Road Work

SAN FRANCISCO, March 15.-From
now on work will be hastened by the San
Joaquin Valley Railway company in build
ing across the tules from Stockton toward
Point Richmond. This will necessitate
the construction of two miles of trestle
and of eight miles of embankment across
the reclaimed and seven miles of embank-
ment across the unreclaimed lands. The
line across the marshes from Stockton
will be distance of II miles, and will en-
counter firm ground at point about op-
posite Brentwood. From there prelim-
mary lines have been run to Pacheco
slough, but the road has not yet been def
nitely located. The distance from the
west line to Point Richmond cannot, there
fore, be exactly stated. Chief Engineer
Story estimates it, however, at from 60 to
70 miles. making the length Of the road
from Stockton to Point Richmond a mini
mum Of II and a maximum of 81 miles,
according as the line may be located and
built. it is estimated that trains will he
run between the two points in two and a
half hours.

The Industrial School.

----
Senator Martin for the second
time has passed bill creating in
this Senatorial district, an indus
trious school, the first bill two
years ago, was vetoed by the Go
vernon, and killed. The bill pass
ed by the last Legislature was sign
ed by the Governor, and the in
dustrial school will be a reality
when one Of the parishes compos-
ing the district, which are, Iberia,
Lafayette and st. Martin, will SUBJ
scribe 5000 and procure site of
Is acres of land; but the parish
bidding the highest will get the
school.
The parish and town authorities
and the people of the whole pa
IRISH should take deep interest in
this matter. Think of an indus
trial school established in our pa
IRISH, where our children will be
able to acquire and education and
a trade free, by simply paying a
small amount for their board.
These industrial schools, areAno
experiment, one is in operation
in Ruston, La, maintained by the
State, which is a complete success,
and there is not the least doubt
that those sections having good
schools are far more advance in
education than we are in this pa
IRISH in particular, and for this rea-
son we should make a great effort
and great sacrifices to secure this
desirable industrial school.
We have two years to complete
arrangements to secure the school,
and the moment we secure the
amount necessary and the site,
the next legislature will make ap-
preparation. we believe of some
thing like $25, 900 for the erection
of the necessary buildings, and
thereafter an appropriation from
$40, 900 to $4,000 to maintain the
school.
Think of the possibility of St.
Martin in the course of a few
years of having an educated popu-
lstion, and our young people gi-
ven the opportunity of learning q
trade of some kind, and placing
us on the same footing as the
more favored sections in the mat.
ter of trade and knowledge.

IT is MURDER.

The negro Lewis found fioatlng
in Bayou Teche near Breau1
Bridge last week was without
doubt the victim of some murde-
rous gang.
We learn that threats had been
made against the life of the negro
by a gang of regulators who live
close to Breaux Bridge, east side OF
Che bayou, which gang reflect upon
the good people of Breaux Bridge
and of that section. We say good
people because we know that there
are good people in Breau1 Bridge
and in the section where 80 many
crimes have been committed, but
these good people seem too slow
to revolt against these crimes and
demand the quick punishment of
the criminals.
Now, there is one feature in
this case which is quite sgrava-
ting if the rumor can be substan-
tiated by proof. 1t is that Sheriff
Rees did not make any serious in
vestigation on the pretext that the
Coroner's report does not establish
the cause of death. These are
flimsy pretexts if they exist; one
thing certain is that the negro is
dead and his death looks very sus-
picious, as we learn that there are
strong evidences that he was shot
in the eye, and that he was drag
to the bayou by rope that was
tied around his neck. These are
sufficient evidences for the Sheriff
to make a thorough investigation
of the case, and if he does, we
have no doubt that he will get the
criminals. Another report says
Rees is not going to investigate
this murder, because if he does,
he will find some of his regulator
hackers implicated in this crime.
We are inclined to believe
Sheriff Rees will do his duty re-
gardless of the implication of
friends who will commit murder,
and until the Messenger can In
vestigate the matter thoroughly,
We will not condemn the action of
the Sheriff, but If the rumors
prove correct after proper inves-
tigation, the Messenger will heap
unon him its condemnation.
