TELL OF PERILOUS TRIP.
Ella
Revolution, n Cuba Jeopardizes Party
2Lf Americans.

Mrs. Aldo. Poche and Ulysses 2.
Acosta. of Donaldsonville, and Eu-
gene, Leonce and Fred. Landry, OF
Klotzville, arrived here Tuesday night
after an exciting and perllous trip
from Camaguey, Cuba. Due to the
destruction of railroad bridges by
revolutionists, which interfered with
the operation of trains in the province
in which Camaguey is located, the
Americans in the latter town who de-
sired to leave for a safer region were
compelled to make a 24-hour trip IN
small boat across the open sea to
another port, from whence they were
able to proceed to Havana by rail-.
The boat in which they made the voy-
age grounded on a shoal and remain
ed there three hours, until refioated
by the rising tide; the engine broke
down during the night and it was nee
essary to cast anchor until the motive
power could be induced to operate
again; when in sight of their destina-
ton the vessel struck rocky reef
and had to be pulled off by another
| boat which was secured only after a
long delay; and, to cap the climax,
high sea was running and nearly
everyone on the small craft fell a
| victim to NAL de mer. These are only
few of the thrilling experiences en-
countered on the memorable trip, the
full story of which sounds like chap
ter from tale Of adventure. All
their troubles were finally overcome,
however, and the entire party reach
ed Havana safe and sound.
Mr.. PocS e remained in that city,
Mrs. Pochqp coming on to Donaldson
vile to best the bedside Of her moth
err, Mrs 61zeme Landry, who is seri-
ously ag Mr.. and Mrs. Poche have
been residing in Camaguey for the
past year or two, pending the com
pletion of the big Central Agramonte
sugar factory near that place which
was erected under Mr.. Poche's super
vision Messrs. Acosta and the three
Landrys named above were employed
in the construction of the plant
which was finished just few weeks
ago. Mrs. Poche and lady from
New York were the only women
aboard the boat in which the Ameri
cans departed from Camaguey.

The resolution was seconded by Mr..

vote of Z yeas and no nays.
Mr.. Tobias offered the following

Aiming American Merchantmen.

The attorney general Of the United
States has advised President Wilson
that the constitution and laws of the
country give the president authority
to arm merchant vessels for their de-
tense and protection against hostile
attack on the high seas, and Secre-
tary of State Lansing is said to con-
cur in the attorney generals conclu-
sion. Preparations are being made
to put this ruling into effect, and it
is expected that American vessels will
soon begin sailing for European ports
supplied with equipments of guns and
gunners that will enable them to "put
up a fight" when submarines are en-
countered

EXTRA SESSION OFT CONGRESS
CALLEI-

President Wilson haAissued call
for an extra session of the sixty-fltth
congress to convene April 10 TOT tne
passage of several appropriation bllls
and other measures which failed OF
final action before the constitutional
term of the sixty-fourth congress ex-
PRED by limitation March a.
One of the most interesting matters
connected with the assembling OF the
new house of representatives Will be
the outcome of the contest between
the national political parties for con-
troll of the organization. The roll OF
members-elect, up to two weeks ago,
contained the names of 215 Demo
Gratis. els Republicans and not al
filiated with either Of the leading par
ties. The latter group, called In
dependents for convenience, includes
Congressman Whit. ?. Martin, Fro
pressive, of the third Louisiana dis
trict, and as two of the other four
Independents are accredited Win
Democratic leanings and the remain
ing two with Republican predllec-
tions, it has been anticipated that
Mr.. Martin may have the deciding
vote that will determine the political
complexion Of the house organlza-
ton.
Fate has interviewed to slightly dis
turb this balance of power, however,
and the outcome is now more uncer-
tain than ever. Two of the members"
elect have been summoned by death,
Michael F. Conroy . New York,
Democrat, and Cyrus 4. Sulloway OF
New Hampshire, Republican. Gov
Whitman of New Yorh-has called a
special election for Apne4l2 IN Mi
Conroy's district, and it is~not doubt.
ed that the successful candidate will
be Democrat. In the New Hamp'
shire case, where Republican Is
equally certain to be chosen to sue,
coed Mr.. Sulloway, the state law viii
not permit the special election to be
held within less than fifty-seven days
after the date of the call, which vii
carry the event beyond the time sci
for the converting of the extra SEES
sion of congress.
1t is expected, therefore, that the
Democrats will have 215 members anc
the Republicans only 214 when the
house assemblies, which gives the
former a slightly better chance foi
securing enough Independent sup
port to control the choice of speaker
and other officers. If the Democrats
can bring three Independents over te
their side, the trick will be turned
whereas the Republicans must have al
least four of the five Independent
votes to win. 1t stands to reason thai
the influence of the national admin,
istration will be exercised in favor OF
the Democratic side of this contest
a circumstance which should still fur
Their improve the chances of Speaker
Champ Clark for reelection and cor
respondingly depress those of his he
publican opponent, Hon. Jimmy
Mann of Illinois.
AS the Frenchman says, nous YER
ron.
