The observances of Easier In the Council Bluffs churches yeslcrday was on a more pretentious scale than ever. There was something In the conditions of the weather and the popular mind that Impelled all classes of humanity to take more than ordinary note of the Resurrection day. It may hove been an extra fine bonnet or gown , or It may have been a curiosity to ECO some other fine gowns and spring millinery that actuated the feminine portion of the city , and It may have been a dcslro to go to church at least once during the jear that Induced the mas culine clement to turn out en niasso. What ever the motive the reward was ample for the effort. In all of the churches the serv ices were elaborate and Imprecslvc. In nearly all the music was a leading feature. This added lo the magnificent floral decora- lions and lent new charms to the beautiful ceremonies and service * ty which the vari ous churches celebrated the day It Is only In recent years that the other denominations have taken to the elaborate observance of the ilny that has so long teen characteristic of the Catholic and Episcopal churches. YCB- lorday every church In the city was full of the Eistcr spirit Special music by special choirs , In anthems and carols , was borne on an atmosphere heavy with the fragrance of blooming plants The floral decorations In all of the churches were very fine. At the Ilroadway Mcthod'st church the children of the Sunday school conducted the services In an original and beautiful manrcr The history of the day was exem plified In the rciponalvo readings , recita tions and songs. At the Tlrst Baptist church the services were very Impressive and suggestive The floral decorations were a treat to all of the people In the crowded church The feature of the day In thin church v.as the Gcrmon of the pistor. Rev V C. Rocho to the mem bers of the Dodge Light Guards. Members of the company attended by invitation , and entered tlio church In a body with military precision and were seated In a section that had been rea ° rved for them The subject of the sermon was "Tallow Christ , " from the text , "Master , I Will Tollov , Thco Whereso ever Thou Gorat.

There will be an effort to amend the sundry civil bill by the addition of a provision for the regu lation of the forest reservations. This may lead to some discussion , but the friends of the amendment do not anticipate much troublu In having the amendment agreed to. Senator Davis will make another attempt on Monday , In executive session , to get a day ( Ixcd for taking a Note on the arbitra tion treaty. He has announced his purpose to press the treaty to final action at as early a ( Into as possible. He expects to lm\o little dlniculty In securing an agree ment for a date , but some of the objecting senators Intimate there may bu opposition. The matter of pairs has been definitely ar ranged on the basis of two votes for the treaty to one against It.

Much of the senate's tlmo will be given to the question of the organization of the senate committees. The republican senators will caucus Monday on the subject. If the program proposed IB accepted both the re- publlcins and the opposition will proceed to make the selections for the committee va cancies , and this work will require very deli cate adjustment.

If the plan Is not agreed to by the republicans , the coalition of demo crats , populists and silver republicans will on Tuesday move to nil eomo of the committee vacancies with the view of continuing the process until all are * flllcd. At least such Is the present program.

I-II-TII. rrcncli .TurlNt May 'nni | lote Hie Vi'iu'/m-laii Tribunal. WASHINGTON , April 13. The rmmoi of Baron Courccl , the eminent' French Jurist and diplomat , at present Trenc i , ambassador to Great Britain , probably will be suggested as the fifth or final arbitrator oi the court of arbitration between VcnrzuelA and Great Britain. The treaty of arbitration recently ratified by these two governments provides that the fifth arbitrator shall be chosen by the four designated to represent the two countries , and In the event of their Inability to agree on a fifth , then itlng Oscar of Nor way and Sweden Is to name the final arbi trator. There appears to be llttlo doubt , however , that the four arbitrators will reach an agreement , and with this , end In view semi-official Inquiries have been made as to the availability of Baron Courcel. His choice would add another notable name tea a court -which promises to be memorable for the personnel of Ito members * , who thus far are Chief Justice Fuller and Justice Brewer , In behalf of Venezuela , and Baron Herscbel and Sir Richard Henn Collins , in behalf of Great Britain. The court will meet In Paris In the summer of 1898 , the preceding time being required for the exchange of pleadings In the meantime , and within three months of the exchange of ratifications , the final ar bitrator must be chosen. As the treaty Is ratified by both governments , the formal ex- changa of ratifications will follow at an early day either In Washington or London , and negotiations toward naming the fifth ar bitrator will immediately follow. In order that an agreement may be reached within the three months prescribed. Up to tno tlmo of his sudden death a few days aso , Mr. James J. Storrovv , chief coun sel for Venezuela , had made careful inquiry as to the availability of Baron Courcel as the fifth arbitrator. The abilities of the Trench diplomat were regarded as eminently fitting him for the place. It was felt , however , that as Trance had a boundary dlputo with Brazil , Involving the btime points as tke Veneniela-Biltlsb case Baron Courcel might have fixed convictions concerning the Issue Involved. Mr. Storrow conferred with the French embassy in Washington and the gen eral conclusion reached was that Baron Courcel could have no prejudices by reason of the Pranco-Hras'lllan boundary contest , which also has been submitted to arbitration by a treaty Jrat signed These Inquiries left llttlo doubt that the French diplomat would bo suggested as the fifth arbitrator. Baron Courcel la one of the foremost Jur ists of Europe , and as such was chohen as president of the court of arbitration between the United States and Great Britain on the Bering ea question. Ho comes from one of the old royalist families of the empire , but Is a sturdy republican and has taken front rank among Trench leadcrn. It was during the strained condition of ICuropean affairs , a joar > ago , requiring skillful diplomacy , that Franco availed herself of his sei vices as ambassador to Great Britain. He speaks English fluently , which would materially aid in a court inado up entirely of English-speak ing arbitrators. AUVAMH.MAT A HAI I I ACU.
