EatiOn DiIi Expected by Wedncs-
day-Chairman Hull Anxious to
Get the BiII Before the House as
Early as POsSibIe-DemOcrats Di-
Vided ON the Measure.
Washington Dec. n.-Beyond the first
three days there is no programme mapped
out for the House this week.
Tomorrow viii be devoted, under the
rules, to the consideration Of business re-
lating to'the District Of Columbia, and on
Tuesday the District of Columbia appro-
pration bin will be taken up. This is In
pursuance Of the determination of the
leaders to give the appropriation bills the
right of way whenever one is ready.
There is nothing in the District bill this
year to attract opposition and unless the
unexpected happens. the bill ought to pass
Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest
The appropriations subcommittee on
pensions win commence work on the pen
sion appropriations bill tomorrow, but It
can hardly be ready before next week
1t is confidently expected, however, that
it viii be passed before the holidays.
1t is possible that Chairman Hull Of the
military affairs committee will be able to
bring in the army reorganization bill as
soon as the district appropriations bill is
out of the way. He is exceedingly anx-
ious to get the bill into the House at the
earliest possible moment as he is partic-
ularly soicitious that it should pass the
House before the holidays II Il should
follow the district bill, a very interesting
debate would be precipitated. The flu
ture policy of the government is ordained
in the bill for the increase OF the stand
ing army, and the whole subject viii be
opened up.
The Democrats are divided upon the
question of increasing the regular army,
but how far the opposition Will go in
antagonizing the measure it is impossible
to forecast. Only last week, during the
debate on the urgent deficiency bill Mr..
DeArmond of Missouri, one of the leaders,
evaded a direct reply when the question
was put fairly at him by Mr. Cannon,
chairman of the appropriations commit
tee. If the army reorganization bill does
not come up, the various committees, un-
der the cali. will probably be allowed 10
clean up business which they have on the
calendar.

a girl OF good family, by conspiring with
her to procure an Illegal operation, which
resulted in her death, has been reprieved.
The evidence in the case tended to

TOOK LONGER THAN THE WAR.
London Papers Think spain's Protest
Is Unreasonable.

London, Dec. 12.-The editorials in the
London morning papers express sausfac-
ton at the signing of the peace treaty
the negotiations for which, the Daily
News remarks, have occupied rather long
er than the war.
The Times, pretty accurately represent
ing the views of the other papers. says:
Spain has lost her colonies because her
colonial system was founded upon spolia
tion and tyranny. The United States have
not treated her any more harshIy than
Germany treated France in 1871, or Russia
treated Turkey In 1873. Therefore. the
Spanish memorandum of protest IS un-
reasonable and unjustified."
The article then refers TO the difficulties
facing the United States, and expresses
confidence that the healthy vigor ana
practical capacity of the Anglo-saxon"
Will be fully competent to deal with them.

sPASIARDs WOULD NOT DINE.
Feared an Acceptance of the Invita-
tiOn Would lie Misconstrue


tiOn Mould he MiscOnstrued.
Paris, Dec. 1.-THE United States peace
commissioners rested to-day, after the long
strain of daily conferences and almost
daily sessions with the Spaniards, the
intensity of which they hardly realized
until it was over.
Warm PERSONAL friendships and mutual
regard have arisen between the two COM
missions as the result of their extended
controversy at close quarters. To-day
several members of both commissions ex-
changed calls.
The American commissioners unoticially
informed the Spaniards that they would
be glad to have the two commissions dine
together. The reply, which, like the in
vtation, was conveyed automatically
through a third party, was that the Span
iards would be most pleased, but feared
Ii would be inadvisable, because it might
be misconstrued at Madrid, where already
much feeling existed against the Spanish
commissioners,
Several members of the United States
commission were inclined at first to pub
lish the text of the treaty, but Senator
Frye made a strong plea yesterday for
the observance of courtesy toward the
United States Senate, and his arguments
prevailed.
Further details, however have been
learned as to the wording of the treaty,
which provides that Cuba is to be relin
pushed, and that Porto Rico and the
Philippines are to be ceded.
The Americans are to pay for the repa-
triation of the Spanish troops from all
colonies. The Spaniards are to return all
prisoners held by them. They are to re-
tain possession of all military stores and
munitions of war i'm the Philippines, and
of such ships as have not been captured.
The commercial treaties between the
two nations which the war ruptured are
to be renewed at the convenience of the
two nations.
The protocol makes nearly 600 typewrit-
ten pages.
The United States commissioners have
been almost overwhelmed with offers of
dinners in England, prompted by che de-
sire of prominent Englishmen to empha-
size the AnglO-American entente but they
will remain in Paris until the day before
sailing for the United States.
They will make formal calls upon Presi-
dent Faure and high officials here to
thank them for official hospitality. I'm
official hospitality to the United States
commissioners has been ostentatiously
lacking in Paris.

PASTURE AND GREEN FOOD.

The amount of green food that can be grown upon ar acre of land and fed to cattle, from the first appearance of rye or crimson clover in early spring until late in the fall, as many times more than that which can be obtained on the same area used as pas ture. While on the pasture the cattle are subjected to storms, many insects, and during dry seasons they must per form considerable work to secure as much food as they desire. As green crops may be cut at any time, and sev- eral cuttings can be made In a season, the flow of milk will be greater than when the COWS are on pasture. While less labor is required in pasturing the COWS, smaller proportion of land can be used under the soiling or green food system.

RIO VERDE OFFICERS.
A Meeting of the Stockholders Was
 Held Yesterday Afternoon.

The annual meeting of the stock holders of the Rio Verde Canal com pany was held at the offices of the company in the Fleming block yester- day afternoon. The new directors are: Donald Grant, A. H. Linton, P. P. Parker, s. c. Symonds, D. w. Grant, F. L. Conkey and S. R. H. Robinson. The directors held a meeting and elected the following officers: Donald Grant, president; A. H. Linton. vice president; J. K. Doolittle, secretary, and Frank L. Conkey, treasurer.
 Secretary Doolittle was seen by re- porter for The Republican and asked in regard to whether the construction work on the canal would be resumed. He said: "That is a matter which the public knows as much about as l do. You can say this much, that the men at the head of the Rio Verde enterprise are men who prefer to act rather than talk. When we are ready to begin work on the canal the news will be given to the public cheerfully, but at this time I have nothing for you"
 The Republican reporter also saw Donald Grant and A. H. Linton and they said there were no new develop ments in the Rio Verde matter They talked in a cheerful way about the big enterprise, and seemed to feel confident that it would be but a short time be- fore the work of completing the canal 6odnder way. These gentlemen have Invested large sums of money in the enterprise and they are making a strong effort to get the necessary capi- tai to finish the canal. The election of MT. Grant as president to succeed MT. Sheldon is looked upon by many as an encouraging sign that the canal will be completed. MT. Grant has successfully carried through many large enterprises, and as president of the Rio Verde, the stockholders feel confident that he will bring the enterprise to successful consumma- tion.
 It will probably be several weeks before anything definite is known in regard to the time for beginning work on the canal, as Secretary Doolittle indicated in the interview he gave The Republican reporter that the mat ter will take no definite shape until MT. Grant consults with capitalists in the east who are interested in the project
