BRowNsvILLE's prospects for a
railroad were never better than just
now. With artesian water pouring
over the land in the large pastures
north of us, and the big irrigation
enterprise near Brownsville making
glad the waste places, we now have
something to induce railroad to
come. And with direct PROPOSE
ton to build a railroad being sub
mitted to our people by a well
known and successful builder, THE

THE inaugural ball at Austin
Tuesday night was a swell affair,
30 swell, in fact. as to shut out the
legislator from the forks of the
creek. who doesn't own a dress suit.
The BOYS were inclined to grumble
about the dress suit regulation, but,
after all, it is just as well that
shings should be done in proper
style. Texas is getting on, and her
legislators ought to be willing to
make some sacrifice in order to be
up to date-even to don a swallow
sail coat and decollete vest at the
governors inaugural ball, so that
Texas solons may not appear odd.
Nothing has been said on the sub
ieet, but it is believed that even
Joe Bailey has overcome his aver
sion to the dress suit and no longer
insists on attending evening func-
lions in a Prince Albert. The latter
garb no doubt adds statesmanlike
appearance of dignity, but it is per-
haps more appropriate in legisla-
ave councils, than in the giddy
maze of the dance.

Washington, D. c., Mar. II.

Washington, ID. u, Mar. ii.
Immediately after the opening of the
Senate today, a resolution, offered by
Mr.. Allison, was referred to the COM
mittee on contingent expense.
1t authorizes the committee on rules
'to re-examine the rules of the Senate
with view to ascertaining what
changes, if any, are necessary or ex-
pedient, especially to make injury
whether it is expedient to in any way
limit debate in the Senate and if so to
what extent" The committee was au-
thorized to sit during the recess and was
directed to report as soon as possible
after the beginning of the next session
of Congress.
Mr. Hoar announced that he would
offer at a later time, resolution extend
ing the authority of the committee to
investigate the subject of having the
rules of the Senate revised and a new
parliamentary manual prepared by a
constitutional lawyer of the first rank,
who he thought should be paid from
S15, 900 to $40, 900 for the work.
Before the doors were ordered closed,
upon motion of Mr.. Cullom, the chair
called the attention of members to Che
futility Of introducing bills and joint

of another body. "They are Of no possible

have to be offered again when this body
is in regular and not in extraordinary

At 12:10o' clock the doors were ordered
closed and the consideration of the
Panama canal treaty was resumed.
The desk of Mr.. Morgan was piled
high with books and papers.
After the doors were closed Senator
Cullom laid before the Senate the cores
pondence between Attorney General
Knox and the French Panama Canal
Company, by which the latter agreed to
extend the option on its property now
held by the United States, until such
time as the treaty is ratified by the Sen

Thereupon Mr.. Morgan took the

stringency in Wall street While he Is

tion is really critical, he may come 10
their relief in any one OF several ways
For instance, he may increase the de-
posits of Government money IN the ma
tional banks. As the$50, 900, 600 need
cd on account of the Panama canal will
not be payable probably for several
months. this course would be the easiest
and simplest. Another move that
would relieve the tension for little
while would be to anticipate interest due
on bonds. Still another course would
be the purchase of bonds outright in the
open market at the prevailing asking
price, while yet another way might be
found in the exchange of A per cents for
2's. The premium on the "long 4s' is
about thirty-four per cent; the premium
on the 2's is only seven or eight. by
exchanging the 2's for AS and paying
the difference in the premium in cash,
a goodly sum could be put in circulation.
Treasury officials here do not believe
that the situation demands any action on

Since 1895 Captain Blackford had been

No definite programme of, or united
action BY. the democrats on the pending
canal and Cuban treaties has been
agreed upon. 1t is believed. however,
that as A result of conferences that have
been and are to be held will permit an
early vote on the ratification of the
canal treaty but will make a stiff fight
against the proposed reciprocity arrange
ment with Cuba. In fact, the chances
of final action on this latter treaty at
this session are growing smaller each
day. 1t is the intention of the demo-
Gratis to attempt to amend the Panama
canal treaty, especially by making more
specific the right of the United States to
fortify the canal right Of way, and
by providing that the United States
shall have absolute sovereignty
over the territory through which
the canal is to be built.
These amendments will be offered, but one
of their most prominent leaders expressed
the opinion this morning that they would
be voted down and that there would be
enough democrats to vote with the re-
publicans to ensure the ratification of
the treaty as it stands. No agreement
has vet been made with reference TO Mr..
Morgan's proposition to fix day for
vote provided he can publish his speech
against the treaty. 1t is believed, how
ever. that such an arrangement will be
made probably today, which will per,
nit the ratification of the canal
treaty either this or early next
week. Senator Frye said today, with
reference to the suggestion that Colon
bia might take umbrage at some OF Mr..
Morgan's remarks, that it would not
make much diflerenence what any par
ticular individual might say, provided
the treaty itself was ratified by hand
some two-thirds majority.
