ing his nerve. It couldn't be that. But
had his trouble so weighed upon him
that he really welcomed the possible
coming of the end? Brayton's was a
hard lot just now. Assiduously he was
hiding from his own captain all indica-
tions Of the forthcoming meeting.
Somehow he felt that Barclay would
not hesitate TO disclose the project to
the post commander, and then every
cad in Texas would jeer and crow and
say it was Winn and he who crawfshed.
Barclay had noted that Winn seemed
avoiding him again and spoke Of it to
BraytOn, who answered that Winn was
avoiding everybody. He was blue and
depressed about his affairs.
"Yet / understood that he had re-
Ceived more than enough to settle those
Oommissary accounts, " said the captain.
"Oh, yes" answered Brayton, "but
there are other matters" How could
he tell Barclay that he Thought Winn's
love and faith in his wife were dead
and gone? How could he tell him that
Winn would touch no dollar Of the
money until he had first met and salts
fled another claim? Barclay suspicious
would have been aroused at once.
But Winn was having another trou-
BILE now. Laura had set her heart on
going to the picnic, and for no other
reason, she declared, than that she
must show the women there was moth
ing amiss. II he and she, either or both,
should fail to attend the Fraziers' en-
tertainment, every one would say he
still believed her guilty Of having a
rendezvous with Barclay at that un-
earthly hour and that she was unfor-
given.
AS he had done many time before,
Winn yielded. What mattered it? There
might be only that day for him. He
could accomplish nothing by absenting
himself. He could aid in brushing away
any cloud upon her name by going and
being devoted to her. So 60 they did,
and women who watched with wary
and suspicious eyes long remembered
how fond and loverlike were Winn's
attentions to his beautiful wife; how
often ON the way he rode to the side of
chat ambulance to say some little word
to her; how anxiously he seemed to
scan that lowering westward sky, for
by the time they reached the Blanca
gorge the cloud banks were climbing to

EXECUTIVE SESSION.
Mckinley Criticised For Not Furnish
 ing Documents.

| Washington, January 26.zToday's execu- | tive session of the senate was consumed in discussion of the failure of the president so far to send to the senate the documents in his possession and on file in the state department bearing upon the Paris confer ence.
 Senator German raised the point that the resolution had been adopted several days since and addressed the senate on the failure of the president to respond to the senates request for information. The att tack of the Maryland senator was followed by similar speeches by Senators Vest and Hoar and they were replied to by Senators Spooner and Platt
 The five senators engaged in a running debate, the opponents of the treaty con tending that the senate was entitled as a part of the treaty making power to all the facts bearing upon the case and the sup porters of the document holding that the president could withhold any papers which he did not consider in the interest of the general welfare to give out. The point was also made that the president might feel free to communicate with the senate if he could be sure of privacy in doing so. No one professed to speak by authority and all the senators who were heard in sup port of the presidents course expressed confidence that the presidents action what ever it might be would be for the best in- terests of the public.
 The opinion is generally expressed that the time allowed for debate of the treaty in executive session will not be by any means consumed as very few senators on either side desire to make speeches behind closed doors. The friends of the treaty profess iOprpo sing confiGeara for raxihcafIOn hut there is some talk of adopting negative resolution to the effect that the treaty does
 ot bind the United States to the adoption Sf q colonial policy.

THE HOUSE

Washington, January 26.-The third day of the debate upon the bill for the reorganiza- tion and increase in the regular army, passed without notable incident. Its feat ure was a speech by MT. Grosvenor, of Ohio, whose utterances. rightly or wrongly, are frequently supposed to reflect the views of the president. MT. Grosvenor declared most emphatcally that the present situa- tion in the Philippines was due to the open opposition in this country to the ratification of the peace treaty. He announced that the future of the islands was a matter for congress to decide and that for the presi- dent to announce policy would be for him to usurp the authority of congress.
 The friends of the bill continue to express great confidence in it's passage, but they admit that some important notifications may be made.
 Among the other speakers at the day ses- sion were Messrs. Dinsmore (democraD, Of Arkansas; McRae (democraD, of Arkansas Simms (democraD, of Tennessee, in opposi- tion to the measure.
