Vmrxitelnn 'iimnislnn Mil. ' lYAsmxarox, Dec. 1!0. As soon as the Senato journal had been read and approved tho clerk of tho House an nounced tho passage by tho House of tho bill appropriating 8100.000 for tho expenses or tho commission to Investi gate tho boundary between British Uulnna and Venezuela, which was recommended by tho President and the Vice President iimnediatoly laid it before tho senate. Mr. Sherman moved its referenco to tnc commltteo on forrlgn relnttons, out in the absence of Mr. Morgan, rnlniinna committee, Mr. Coekrell requested Mr ,""""'" i" 1110 loroimi Sherman to withdraw his motion until Lion until win arrival 01 tho senator from Ala bama. This was done. As soon as Mr. Morgan arrived tho resolution was lntd before the Senate again and Mr. Morgan moved to refer it to tho foreign relations committee. The bill should, in his opinion, be de liberated upon long enough to secure nr absolutely correct judgment, and he concurred with Mr. Sherman in tho belief that it should first liavo duo consideration, but ho wanted it dis tinctly understood that ho would op no'so Mich a reference unless it was undo with tho distinct understanding that Congress should not tako tho hol iday recess until it was reported back. In the Hawaiian affair, Mr. Morgan eald, Mr. Cleveland in the exercise of his power, had sent to Hawaii u com missioner to obtain certain informa tion. Ho took that action without tho advice and consent of the Senate, and when Mr. Blount's report was mado the debate upon it was largely dovotcd to tho questions of the President's powers, purposes, etc. In other words, if Mr. Hlouut had been appointed In virtue of an act of Congress. Congress, and not tho executive, would have been responsible and there could have been no possible issue betweon tho legisla tive and executive brunches of tho government. Tho question now pre sented, therefore, was whether Con gress should at this time declare tho policy of. the Unit-d States, or leave It in tho President's hands us still In the field of diplomacy. Ho did not want it understood, however, that a diUcrcncc of feeling existed botween congress and tho executive. It was only a question of method, not princi ple now. So far as the Monroo doc trine was concerned, that had been definitely settled by the action of tho president. Cleveland's message, and inoro particularly Mr. Olney's noto to tho liritisli prime minister, placed tho Monroo doctrine in a cjcir, snbstantial nnd unequivocal light before the world, and any action congress might tako in affirming it, whether by tho pessage of tho house bill, amended or unamended, it could not. be mistaken. Mr. M rgan congratulated the coun try that thu consummation had been witched. He said he was incapable of expressing the gratitude ho felt over , this clear cut and dctinito enunciation of un American doctrine founded on love and reverenco for American ideas of government and rooted and grounded in tho spirit of the Americau institutions. It was a conclusion com porting with tho dignity of tho United States as a government and tho pres tige of tho people as a nation. At last 11 grp.it 'American doctrine fixed iibsrthitely tho attitude of tho United States and warned tho world that it would bo maintained and en forced. After reading extracts from Secretary Olney's dispatches, ho said that tho Secretary's conclusions were in harmony with his own views. This Was an American doctrine, such as the Secretary of btate formulated and one which when it became applicable In a material way to a country on the Western hemisphere, it behooved all' to support. Mr. Sherman expressed the belief that there would ho no war, nnd that the mattercould bo adjusted peaceably. Mr. Lodge of Massachusetts fol lowed In a vigorous 6pcech. Ho said that ho was not in haste, but ho thought tho timo for tho commission to report should be limited, and gave notice of an amendment providing that tho commission should report by April 1. He did not think that tlio' Monroe doctrine could be upheld as a proposition of international law, but ho believed that it should bo supported us tho Declwatlon of Independence was supported, because it was an American doctrine. Mr Voorhees spoke in favor of im mediate action. Great Britain took montlis to say that sho would not ar bitrate He thought this country shonld not mnko any further delay, but appoint a commission to see what belouged to great Britain, and give her that nnd 110 more. Ho did not be lieve there was any dancer of war, but thought tho dignity of"" the United States demanded that Congress should act without any further delay. Mr. Allen of Nebraska objected to a second reading of tho bill, which would carry it over until to-morrow. In a short speech ho said that ho did not cvpect thcro would bo any wnr. He thought tho umendment proposed by Mr. Lodgo meant that there would be more of a political war than any thing eUe. Mr. Hawloy of Connecticut said that it was not so much a case of war as information. No one knew what were tho facts. Great Hrltain herself did not know. Ho wunted tho bill re ferred becauso it w.is tho dignified and proper way. Amendments could then bo considered. Mr. Chandler had read a petition in tho British Parliament urging arbitra tion of nil disputes between Great Britain and tho United States and Mr. ?irT0,j5d..thnt..Cnn2r's,5 should up nom ino resident, lie never ex- pected to see n President who would not uphold the Monroo doctrine as nn American doctrine. Facts were what was now wanted to learn if tho doc trine fitted the present case. After some further debate tho Ven ezuelan bill went over till to-morrow, wheu It will be referred to tho foreign relations committee. Venezuelans happy.

Tho news of tho Cleveland message, un compromisingly upholding Venezuela and tho Monroe doctrine, created tho wildest joy and enthusiasm here. It has produced new confidence in tho future of tho country. Tho Vcncztt clan foreign office declares that it will sustain tho dignity and sovereignty of tho republic by forco if necessary. One hundred and fifty thousand sol dlers can bo put Into tho field.

President Cresno said that ho was preparing a personal letter of thanks to President Cleveland. Ho added! 'The attitude of Venezuela and of tho cxecntivo head upon tho question of tho boundary lino in Guiana will always be ono of self-protection.

Tho third annual Nobrnska state Ir rigation convention opened nt Sidney, Neb., under magnificent auspices, with nearly 1.000 delegates and visitors. Tho convention was culled to order by Jo seph Oberfelder, president of the local exeeutlvo committee, who in n brief ad dress, stated tho object of tho gather ing and tho hope that tho question which would bo presented would racot with n hearty co-opcrutlon, not only locally, but of tho entire country. Tho address of welcome by Mayor Pcaso was a inastcrpicco of humor nnd characteristic 01 a truo western wel come. After tho report of tho committee on credentials tho chairman, on motion, appointed u dclcgato from each county on the committeo on resolutions. Tho report of tho secretary was pre sented, from which tho following is taken: Ono year ago, by tho gracious cour tesy of the representatives of this asso ciation, tho writer becamo invested with tho powers and duties of secreta ry. Tho only records accessible wero the books, papers and docttmeuts con taining tho report of the second nnnual convention, and theso havo been care fully preserved. Tho history of tho first year of our organization, though familiar to all officers and many mem bers, lias not been committed to my official care. "No regular printed report of tho last convention has ever been made, for the reason that no funds whatever were at hand to defray the expenses. Many calls havo been mado for copies of tho otlicial report, but aside from condens ed newspaper sketches of tho conven tion, tho demand has remained unsup plied. Such literature as has been furnished has been distributed at my own expense. Every letter of inquiry has been answered during the year, and no week has passed without cor respondence. All expenses for post age, telegrams, stationery, eta, hnx-o been paid by tho secretary personally, except only such stationery and post age as has been furnished by tho con vention committee in connection with preparations for this meeting. "JL'ho treasurer, Hon. James White head, writes mo that ho has not re ceived a cent of funds during his entire term of office, and it goes without say ing uiai mo president and secretary, as all officers of our association, servo without salary. If tho work that has been performed during tho past year and during tho past two years by your president should seem to you- to" merit public approval and support, It may not bo out of place hero to suggest that tho actual necessary printing and postage bills at least should be assured and paid by this organization. "It would not bo strange, under ex isting circumstances, if little had been accomplished during tho year's admin istration just closed. But fidelity to history requires that a few things bo sot down to show the effort that has been put forth. Tho president, Hon. I. A. fort, has carried on en agitational and educational campaign, extending over every congressional district in this state, and has gone forth as a mis sionary for tho cause of Irrigation to Illinois. Indiana and other states. Ho has kept tho public press alivo with irrigation information and Interviews on tho progress of the movement at homo and abroad. Every member of our state executive committee favored and worked for the passage of the pros ent Nebraska irrigation law, Intro duced nnd championed In the legisla ture by Senator William It Alters, now a member of tho state board of irriga tion. Tho resolutions that were adopted by tho Kearney convention re lating to tho passage of the district and general irrigation law have been an swered by legislation in accordance therewith. Under tho new codo of irrigation law, pronounced by eminent critics to be ono of tho most carefully framed and practically adapted statutes of recent .years in irrigation develop ment, the fuco of our state has been changed in many places ns if by tho hand of a master magician. Before one year has passed since the law went into effect forty-five counties have irri gation works of some kind under oper ation, and before the spring seed time has come again tho record will most certainly sliow tho scientific applica tion of water to the soil ih more than sixty of our eighty counties of the state. "Somewhere between S00 and 000 persons havo filed their claims to tho public waters of the btato with the Stute Hoard of Irrigation und tho coin in:r year will show a large increase over tiiis number. Over 000,000 acres of Nebraska productive soil have been placed under ditch, reservoir or wind mill irrigation. Tho cost of the works already constructed amounts to nearly SI, 500,000, and tho total cost when com pleted w ill be not less than $2,500,000. Tho result has naturally been a largo increase in tho value of the land brought under tho beneficial opera tions of tho new system. Careful esti mators now place tho increase in land values already apparent from 83,000, 000 to Sio.ooo.ooo. If ono year of ac tive work can produce such prodigious results, only the realm of tho reckless dreamer can undertake theunfoldment ot the coming decade in the advance ment of scientific agriculture in tho new empire of tho west. "A delegation of eleven, five of whom were appointed by tho governor, rep resented Nebraska in the fourth Na tional irrigation convention at Albu- querque. N, M , last Sentomber. Tho resolutions adopted by tho second an nual convention of our state associa tion relating to future legislation by congress relative to the supervision und control of interstato waters was urged by our delegation and adopted by con gress. The congress also ndopted a resolution asking an appropriation of 5250,000 for tho purpose of paying tho cost of a thorough and ByBtematio irri gation survey of the arid and semi-arid areas of tho United States, and calling for legislation providing for said sur vey under the direction of governmen tal efforts. "Nebraska was honored by the presi dent of tho National Irrigation con gress, who appointed your secretary one of tha flvo delegates to represent the congress In tho Trnns-Misslsslppl Commercial congress nt Oinnha Inst month. Tho last named organization ndopted unanimously tho resolutions on irrigation presented by tho Nebras ka delegates and increased tho rueom mendation to tho , United States con gress for an appropriation of 5500,000. "This organization of ours has ex erted u tremendous educational effect during the pnst year In splto of all Its difficulties. Urenter undertakings and far more important duties are before us for 1800. Tlio decisions of tho courts nro not at nil discouraging and tho out look Is constantly brightening. "As yet thcro are thousands who havo littlo or no Information on tho subjcot of irrigation and tho objects for which our association was organ ized, tho development of tho arid and semi-arid areas of Nebraska woronovor so important and pressing as now. Tlio secretary desires, personally, to thank every officer of tho association nnd every irrigator with whom ho has come in contact during tho year, either at long or short range, for their uniform courtesy nnd unfailing patienco in con veying information and assistance ren dered in what has been confessedly on your humble servant's part a weak, but honest effort to Bcrvo tho common cause of all. Fraternally submitted. "A. G. WoLKKNItAUOKU." THE MESSAGE APPHOVED. It Created it Great Mentation In Wattling ton. Wariiinotok, Dec. 10. Tho messngo of President Cleveland to Congress transmitting tho correspondence be tween Secretary Olnoy and Lord Salis bury relative to tho Venezuelan boundary dlsputo created a real sensa tion In Washington. Nowhoro was there a volco lifted in dissent from tho doctrino so firmly laid down by tho President, but on tho contrary thcro was an outburst of patriotic feeling that must have been highly gratifying' to tho chief executive. On tlio strcol, tho message was dls cussod and old veterans of tho lato war talked exultlngly of what they wero propared again to undortako nt tho call of thoir country. In tho great hall of tho pension building, the employe gathered and sang with great gusto tho "Star Spangled Banner," aud "My Country, TisofThec." " At tho White House messages poured in from every quarter of tho countrv. congratulating the President upon his message. They came from men of all parties und station. Tho matter, of course, was of thn greatest interest in diplomatic circles, and tho gonoral Impression, on nsobor second consideration of tho notes, was that tho matter has not reached a Btago where war is imminent, and that tho hint of Great Britain's pur pose to reopen negotiations with Ven ezuela, loolcing to settlement of tho dlsputo between themselves, perhaps may bo regarded as tho Indication of how tho wiiolo matter will end. Minister Andrado of Venezuela secured a copy of tho meBsago early in tho day, nni? cabled It, by way of Cuba and Huytl, to his government. Tho timo of transmission is eight hours, and It Is felt that its reception nt Caracas will bo tho signal for an enthusiastic demonstsation, Mr. An drado's satisfaction was almost be yond tho power of expression. "Tlio message is superb," ho said with much enthusiasm. "It is even a surprLo to mo in its vigor, in tho nobllltv of the sentiments expressed, and in tho mas terly exposition of tho Monroo doc trine. There can bo no doubt or mis construction of its meaning. In my country it can not but arouse tho keenest appreciation on tho part of tho govornmont und tho pooplo for this powerful expression of friendship from a strong country in behalf of a comparatively weak ono." Mr. Andrado was asked what tho next stop of Venezuela would be. "There is nothing further for us to da Wo havo announced our policy, and in that wo have tho co-operation nnd support of tho United States. Wo are a little more than spectators now." "Is tho plan of a commission to investigate tlio question and fix tho lino feasible?" the minister was asked. "Perfectly so," ho replied. "Tho evidence can icadlly bo furnished, so far us Venezuela is concerned. It will bo a laborious work, as tho documents and maps nro very voluminous, and from many sources, including thoso of Holland, Spain nnd other countries, as well as those of VpnnTiinhi " POLICE GUAKO CARS. Philadelphia Street Hallway Service la Had Shape. PniLADKU'iiiA, Dec 10. Last night not u street car of tho Union Traction company was running, though that company controls every lino in tho city with the exception of two com paratively short cross-town lines. Tho police w'cre absolutely unable to con trol tho mob violence during the day and the company concluded to shut down at nightfall. Five hundred ex tra palicomeu were sworn in by Mayor Warwick last night, and added to the regular force of ', 100. This morning all of tho branches were in effect tied up. although cars with formidable escorts of police mado thoir circuits nearly everyone of them without molestation. While this enabled tho ofllciajs to declare that tho IIiich were "open" it did not help the situation much ns far as tho convenience of tho riding public was concerned. Tho olficluls of the company declare that they have nlcntv of men to run tho cars if they can got protection for them. On the other hand, the strikers declare that enough skilled men to tako their places cannot bo obtained. Tho strike has proved a windfall of considerable magnitude to the single independent line in tho city, which re sisted the pressure when tho big con solidation of all the other lines was recently affected. The company runs Its cars to West Philadelphia on Arch and Vino streets, and in Its endeavor to accommodate all the peoplo who wish to patronize it, pressed into sor vlco every summer car and oven resur rected some which had been perma nently sent to tho hospital. Every car run is packed to the root The men have almost universal sym pathy not only from conservative citizens who, while deprecating vio lence, declare that tho strikers have right on their side but from labor unions throughout the country, FOR WOMAN AND II0ME up TO DATE READiNO FOn DAMES AND DAMSELS.

An Economical Idea. Many women hnvo fur capes In per fectly good condition, though of nn old fashioned cut, nnd thoy don't know what to do with them. For these there Is shown a design lately executed by a clover girl from Just such nn old capo, and, you know, "what woman hns done woman may do." This enpo originally wnB ono of tho narrow, high-shouldered affairs, of hear fur; it set up in the hideous, humpy wny at tho shoulders wo all admired n long time ngo. Tho first move was to cut the shoul der pieces squarely off, nnd tho back and front In Bharp points, as long as possible. Then cut tho several pieces in dull points, to fit over the shoulders without a bit ot fullness and join in the way furriers do, by setting tho raw edges of tlio fur together and sewing firmly with a close back stitch. There will be no visible seam whon done. In cutting tho fur do not cut directly aoross the face, snipping the long hnlrs, but plnco the scissors close to the skin, under tho hair, and cut carefully. Be fore fitting tho lining, put a frill of doubled golden-brown or black crepo do chene or taffeta all along the edge, with tho edge of the fur as a finish. The original collar of the capo may be left on, if It Is In good repair; If not, comb It carefully with a conrse comb, nnd put a full ruche ot the silk insido tho collar, to Bet ngalnBt the face. A pretty finish to such a collarette Is a full bow of satin ribbon, with long ends, placed at the throat. A quaint conceit, nnd n vory pretty ono, to wear with a dark fur cape, If one wishes to look a bit dressy, Is to tie a scarf of tulle or creamy chiffon on tho outsldo of tha flir cellar, slipped IhfotfgK rhlfaeatono sot buckles nnd fastened In a full knot In front.
