' 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.

Catucab, Venezuela, Dec 20. Tho
news of tho Cleveland message, un
compromisingly upholding Venezuela
and tho Monroe doctrine, created tho
wildest joy and enthusiasm here. It

Irrigation In Ncbrnnhn.
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.

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 "

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

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

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

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
