There was no record vote on The resolution adopted. Brownsville Resolution. Wber. i he Brownsville resolution war laid before the .Sena’.,- Mr. Mal- lovv. of Florida, discussed, the legal questions involved in the Freaident’s discharge of the negro troops. Mr. Mallorf offered a substitute for the compromise Brownsville resolution, prerented yesterday by Mr. Koraker. The resolution of .Mr. Mallory provided for an Investigation after resolving •s follows: ’’That in the Judgment of the Sen ate the recent action of the President 1n diecharging without honor enlisted m'n of companies B. C and D of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, was within the scope of his authority and power, and fhe proper exercise thereof " Mr Mallory said he could not sup per! the Foraker resolution because Ps language as to the President's pow er wa« cqulttoc&l, 8enator Teller opposed the Idea ad vanced In a recent speech by Senator T<odge that the President ‘Inherited power from the king” This was a new doctrine, and the Colorado Sen ator said he could see how it might become popular in some localities. Senator Bacon Rapa ’Em. Senator Bacon, of Georgia, supported rtie Mallory substitute. He character ised the agreement among the Repub licans on the Koraker resolution as an Illustration of their "extreme dexterity In forming measures for which they ran all vote, although .some of them arc directly opposed in sentiment, as 1n the matter to which that resolu tion relates." The Foraker resolution, he declared to be equivocal and ambiguous. When Mr. Bacon remarked that If the Presi dent waa content with s compromise a In such language on which those who j were opposed and supported him could unite, Mr. Aldrich asked "Did I under stand the Senator to say that the ques tion whether the President is content with the resolution is the main ques tion ?” Mr. 'Bacon replied that he thought and had sakl that what the President might think was far from the import ant feature, ''and,” he added. "I think the Senator from Rhode Island had but one purpose in his question and that was for me to emphasize what I had said to the contrary." Foraker Replies to Bacon. Replying to Mr. Bacon’s argument. Mr. Foraker reviewed the history of the Brownsville controversy to the j Senate to show the question of the President’s power hud been raised by I the message the President had sent to I the Senate on December 17. last. Mr. Koraker maintained that from the be ginning all he had contended for w^s 'he facts. I Mr Bacon said 1n reply that while he whb far from being an advocate of ihe President, ho believed the language proposed in the Koraker resolution was an Injustice to the President. Mr. Baron wanted an opportunity to vote directly on the question whether the President had the legal power to dis charge the negro troops and on the question of tabling the resolution. He spoke of the affray at Brownsville as "an unspeakable outrage." A roll call was taken on Mr. Pnrak- er's motion to lay the Mallory substi tute on the table. This motion pre vailed—■43' to 22. Messrs. McCumber, Warner and LaKollette voted with the Democrats and Messrs. Teller and Till man with the Republicans. Stons Reviews Tillman's “Humor.” Mr. Stone took occasion to review Senator Tillman's "attempt at humor” yesterday. He said he had taken no offense at the reference to himself in Mr. Tillman's characterization of the Senate as :t ‘"minstrel troupe" and was sorry the Senator from Tennessee (Mr. Carmack) and the Senate had elimi nated It from the Record. He was op posed to having the Record "a tomb fbr platitudes" and he hoped Senator Tl'Jmsn would reconsider his resolu tion "not to do so again.’’ hut would “soften his tone." and make many fu ture attempts. Senator Culberson proposed a substi tute which provided for no investiga tion, but simply resolved that the President was authorized by law and Justified by the facts in dismissing the negro troupe. Explaining the need for the resolution, he said the whole ques tion waa now In the hands of Senators who opposed or denied the authority or right of the position of the President. The Culberson substitute was tabled bv a vote of 46 to 19. A vote on the Koraker resolution was then token and without a roll call the resolution was declared adopted. The resolution was referred to the com mittee to audit and control the con tingent expenses of the Senate In order to secure authority for the expenditures of the inquiry, whereupon Mr. Kean, chairman of that committee, imme diately announced he had been author ized hy that committee to make a fav orable report on the resolution and this report was agreed to. This action con- tndeded the subject preliminary to the nvcstigatlon authorized.

Augusta, Ga.— My Dear Sir: I want to thank you most heartily for your very full de scription of the plan of the agricultural schools which Georgia has just adopt ed. It seems to me that this is a most significant movement. I feel certain that Georgia has taken a step of the greatest possible significance for agri cultural education. Of course, I am not familiar with the precise agricul tural conditions in Georgia, but I feel that the inauguration of these schools, provided they are made genuinely ag ricultural, must be of incalculable value.. I hope you will succeed in so organizing the schools that the atmos phere in them will forever be an agri cultural atmosphere. I hope they will be thoroughly permeated with the. ag ricultural idea. I hope also that you will succeed' in" your insistence that they shall not attempt to become col leges. but shall remain substantially schools of agriculture. If you can do this, you will have succeeded in fur nishing what I have for some years called the “missing link in agricultural education.” These schools should be attended by thousands of young men who cannot afford the time and money to go to the agricultural college, but who want to get in touch with modern agriculture. They should, also be attended by hun dreds of young men who will find there the best preparation for the agricul tural college. The agricultural college ought to approve mightily of this ad dition to the educational resources of the State. I congratulate you and the splendid State of Georgia on this great piece of legislation. Y'ou are at liberty to util ize this letter in any way you may sec fit. Yours truly, KENYON L.

Massachusetts Likes Agri cultural Institutions in Empire State To the Editor of The Telegraph: I take the liberty of requesting you to publish a letter recently received by me from Dr. Kenyon L. Butterfield, the scholarly and distinguished president of the Massachusetts College of Agri culture at Amherst. Dr. Butterfield's endorsement of the Georgia idea as t’> agricultural educa tion will awaken ready and- favorable response from thinking men East and Yi'est. Indeed. I may say that the en dorsement has already been antici pated. Dr. Butterfield's strong letter will be move highly appreciated when your readers are told tliai. at the request of the senior c. iu.-s of the Massachusetts College of Agriculture he will take ■ime during the balance of the semes ter to deliver to the seniors a series of lecture-- on ‘Rural Sociology."

Tin- former are considered most suitable for the dining room, libra ry or hall; the latter for the drawing ! room or boudoir, whilst prints and on* gravings may be hung where you please, , as long a- they are not hung side by side : with water colors.
