WASHINGTON, D. C., March 2O.-- There will be no change in the con stitution in the near future which will grant to the women of the United States the right to vote. A majority Of the senators of the country, a very small majority, to be sure, but still q majority which was quite large enough to forstall any amendment to the constitution has decided that there shall be no change in the excellent document drawn up for the guidance O. the country in the days when real statesmen sat in the hall of the na- tiCnal legislature and made laws which have kept the republic intact and steadily advancing in all things that make for civilization.
 Changing the constitution If the Cnitde States is very serious mat ter and the wiser among the men who rule the land know that when we be- gin to tamper with our charter we are beginning to tamper with the stability of our government.
 To change the constitution of the United States is fortunately not an easy thing to do and 1t cannot be &C., complished by the gentlemen occupy ing easy chairs in the capitol at Washington, but they have the power to start the ball rolling which may eventually bring about a change in the great fundamental bulwark of the nation.
 The bill for submitting the proposed change in the constitution which would give to the women the right to vote to the states of the union came up in the senate today and so even ly were the senators divided on the issue that when the final vote was taken the submission of the proposed amendment to the states was lost by only one vote. The vote standing 34 for the measure and 35 against it.
 This vote is so close that the wo- men who are interested in getting their sex enfranchised feel anything tut downcast over the result of the fight that they have made during this session and they believe that the very

 LONDON, March 20.-There has been very little news of q warlike nat rrc from Ulster in Ireland since the disbanding of the rebel force which vas organized to combat the institu- tion Of home rule in the land. So quct in fact has Ulster been that the government believes that grave events are impending there and in fact from reports made to the home office by the secret service agents scattered thorughout Ireland it seem evident that the long silence of Ulster DOT tcrds nothing but trouble for the gov clnment.
 The reports state that the people of Ulster are more and more determined as time goes on to resist the home rule and that their present attitude of silence and passively is a mere blind while they are mak- ing serious preparations to resist with force of arms.
 It is stated that Ulster is receiving encouragement from many other parts of the country by individuals who are against the home rule bill as passed and that these men have pledged their fortunes and their lives to the cause of Ulster.
 All of this has been going on so quietly and arms have been so quietly shipped into the county and the men so stealthily organized during the pe-

Owing to the peculiar geographical

in performing their duties. We under
stand that this question is provided for
by State law and we respectfully urge
upon our Representative to take some
steps towards securing legislation which
will afford more respectable pay for
jurors.
Complaint has been made to Us that
some six or seven acres Of natural
oyster reef have been leased by the
Conservation Commission to private in

Quarantine Bay, this Parish, and we
are informed, have been part Of the

on the part Of the Commission will re-

of oystermen dependent upon these

urge upon the proper authorities to

found unlawful, that this grand jury
be called together in special session to
consider the matter further.

The Court House is still in poor con-

recommend that this matter be called
to the attention of the Parish Board of

of about 1900 square miles. 1t in

of the river and the grand canal; also
