Senor Zayas, the only Nationalist, who voted for rati- fication, explaining his vote, said it was his desire to amend the treaty with reference to the exchange of similar commodities produced in both countries, but he had no inten- tion of opposing the treaty iteelf. Senor Sanguilly, the leader of the opposition, explained that his oppo- sition was designed chiefly to draw out whatever could be advanced in support of the treaty and that the arguments of Senator Bustemente, as put forward in the Senate yester- day, convinced him that the country would be more prosperous with reci- procity than without it, but never- theless his attitude of opposition and disapproval of the acts of the execu- tive department of the government forbade him voting yes The vote was taken immediately on the conclysion of a forceful appeal by Senor Bustamente. fle insisted that whether the trust or the produc- ers were the chief beneficiaries of the An official copy of the preamble k and resolutions adopted by the % Forty-second general assembly of the state of Missouri, March 4, has just reached me.

Bob Ingersoll on Old Rye. Notwithstanding “Pagan Bob's” contempt for the scriptures, his won- derful gift of language made him a man whose words were listened to or read with interest on any subject. The Chicago Jornal related this of him: “A few days ago Colonel Bob In- yersoll sent an old friend a very old jug of rare whisky. With it were the following lines in the colonel’s well known chirography: Isend you some of the most won- derful whisky that ever drove the skeleton from a feast or painted landscapes in the brain of man. It is the mingled souls of wheat and corn. In it you will find the sunshine and the shadow that chased each other over the billowy fields, the breath of June, the caroi of the lark, the dews of night, the wealth of sum- mer and autuinn’s rich content, all golden with imprisoned light.
