THE FLOWER FETE.
The Ladies of Our City Give Very
Creditable Flower Fete at
the Park.

The Park Annex was filled with
the beauty and chivalry of Texar-
kama society last night, the occa-
sion being a Flower Fete given by
the ladies of the First Baptist
church and their friends.
The advertisement said there
would be seventy young ladies on
the stage, and these alone would
draw the young men to the ticket
office for admission if anything in
the world would.
Owing to the distance of the an
mex from the habitable portion of
the city, all who attended had to
patronize the street car, aud this
made more work for the little
mules.
We counted SO persons on one
car, and this car was off the track
many times before 1t reached the
park, causing much merriment to
some and sour looks from others.
1t was estimated that >some 400
was in attendance.
The curtain went up at $50. on
beautiful flower drill participated
in by several lines of girls, from the
six year old tot to the l6 year old
blushing maiden, all dressed in
white, and all decorated with flow
ers and carrying wreaths. Recita-
tions and songs followed this drill
and then came tableaux, silent
drills, calistenics with red fire
effects.
The bloomer drill by 20 Young
men, advertised to take place, was
not put on the board. We suppose
the young men who were to have
taken part have gone to join the
Texarkana Rifles to fill up its de-
pleted ranks made so by the craw-
fish acts of many who left from
here to go with the company to the

Washington, March sO.-Much inter.
est is felt In the meeting Of the senate
committee on foreign relations today
70 consider the various resolutions intro
ducod in the senate yesterday. The
only question Of doubt Is whether the
committee will take action at once. In
view Of the records Of the members OF
the committee on the Cuban question
and their present attitude, there is no
uncertainty that their action will be
pronouncedly favorable to the Cubans.
Il is too early to say what form as to
the phraseology the resolution to he 10.
ported will take, but the members Of the
committee individually spoken ex.
press the opinion that IL will declare for
forcible Intervention. Such is the pur.
pose Of all the resolutions introduced in
the senate, and the general feeling is
that any less radical action would be Of
no avail and devoid Of meaning in view
Of the former action Of the senate. The
committee may accept the form Of one
of the resolutions presented or formu.
late a new one.

the cloak rooms, In the Hobbies and in
the corridors there was little else dis
cussed than the Cuban situation and
marine situation. Every senator was
furnished with copy Of the testimony
sent TO congvess Monday, and every per-
son who could procure copy Of IL read
the printed pages. Every group Of SEN
ators in the cloak room talked Of Cuba.
Constant and continual conferences
were held and all recognized the serious.
ness Of the situation.
On the house side il was apparent that
the Republican majority could no long.

element led by the speaker.
Groups Of members in state Of ex.

In each cloak room there were members

Maine testimony were read Members
OF the committee on foreign affairs

orally acknowledged that serious con.
dition had arisen; that crisis was soon
