house chamber. The unfounded re- port that the national guard is un6el orders from Governor Peabody and
 had taken possession of the state
 house probably had its origin in the
 fact that House Sergeant at Arms
 Hummer had posted thirty guards
 to resist an anticipated attempt of
 the supporters of Edward O. Wolcott,
 republican candidate for senator to capture the hall. On every desk is a
 pair of revolvers in the corner stands many repeating shotguns. The guards are commanded by Sherman Bell, of rough rider fame, and James Clark,
 noted for his fighting powers. The
 house did not meet today having ad-

 No progress appears to have been made
 toward settlement of the differences
 between them
 London, Jan. 24-The reciprocity
 treaty between Cuba and the United
 States threatens to raise one of the
 most serious differences of opinions
 between Great Britain and the United
 States which has occurred for years
 So much importance is attached to

 net is being specially summoned to
 see what action can be taken in
 the matter. It came to head through
 deputation of the chamber of com

 waited upon Foreign Secretary Lands
 tOwne yesterday. The argument was
 made that all advantages which the government gained by securing an op-

 Berlin, Jan. 22--Neither the for eign office nor navy department have any reports of the lombard ment of Fort San Carlos. At both places it was declared that no orders had been given to lombard the fort. Officials admit that the incident is likely to 'renew the anti German agi- tatiOn in the United States,'' and say that they recognize the disadvantage that Germany will be placed in through this alleged action of the Panther. It is impossible to get prompt reports from the Venezuela foreign office and it is not even known what the purpose of the Panther was in its action on firing on Fort San Carlos.
