In the Senate.
The senate waded right through the
general^ appropriations hill in short
order yesterday. Few of the items in
the bill created any considerable dis
cussion, though now and then there
was brief debate. The bill was passed
at the morning session by a vote of
81 to G.
The senate voted the state sanitari
um 8310,000, the amount originally
asked for by the trustees before the
house committee, in addition to which
It provided, as stated, that tho salary
of the superintendent and other expen
ses should not come out of this fund.
This is tantamount to an appropria
tion of 8315,000 to the asylum.
The senate, by a vote of 21 to 18,
'put back the appropriation to the Con
federate Soldiers’ home to 815,000. The
house gave the home 812.500, a cut of
82,500 from the amount given last year.
The senate committee made a still
further cut, giving the home only 810,
000.
Senator Sneed, of the twnety-ninth,
offered the amendment increasing the
amount to 815,000, and made an elo
quent appeal for the old soldiers. The

. SOVEREIGNTY ENDANGERED*
Tile trial here of these men Is set
for today.
An autopsy on the body of the dead
man was made by Drs. Johnson, Hep-
ard and Hamsey. The result of the
analysis of the brain and stomach has
not been made public, hut, It is said,
the testimony of these physicians will
be sensational.
There will be about GO witnesses,
and the trial will likely consume con
siderable time. Miller and Beskin,
of Meridian, and It. E. Halsell, of Lau-
rel, will prosecute, while N. C. Hill,
of Hittsburg, B. W. Sclrarbrough, of
Paulding, and Shannon and Street will

Comment on Anglo-German .Interven
tion In Venezuela,
New York, Dec. 13.—Referring to
the Anglo-Oerman intervention in Ven
ezuela, the Buenos Ayres correspo
ndent of The Herald says all the news
papers there see In It a danger for all
South American republics, as It tends
to establish a precedent endangering
their sovereignty. The general opin
ion Is that the Investment of foreign
capital, though desirable for the devel
opment of the countries, cannot give
foreigners special rights. Some pa
pers compare actual Intervention with
recent events In China.
The Prenza says:
"The Anglo-German military action
has violated the rights and disregards
tho sovereignty of South American re
publics.”
It adds that the German claims as a
public debt are without precedent In
the history of South America.
The Prenza attributes the whole af
fair to European imperialists, who are
Inspired with hostile intentions against
the Increasing Influence of the United
States, and urges 8outh American
diplomats to watch developments.
The government, organ at Rio Ja
neiro declares, according to a Herald
dispatch, that AngloGerman action
tends to modify the relations between
Europe and America and that the firm
and noble attitude of President Castro
cannot but be admired by all true
Americans.
In Panama, says The Herald corre
spondent, the forcible seizure and use-
less sinking of the Venezuelan gun
boats has caused great excitement and
indignation, and has made an unpleas
ant impression upon Colombians In
general and isthmians In particular,
who are opposed to the coercive meth
ods of European governments.
The Human Lottery
"AH. If only 1 were beautiful
How Happy life would be.'*
Many a.forlorn maid has said this as shfl
looked into the mirror. It is the one pos
session in the lottery of human life which
woman would not refuse.
