The fact that the invading hand sail ed down to I)avid In a boat loaned by the government of Nicaragua, the Mo inotomho, is regarded as siafiillcant, particularly as the boat wan returned to that government after the landing of the expedition. Kenor Caldc-ron has heard nothing of the invaders since their appearance on "olombian Boil, but believes that they contemplate the ac quirement of the entire Isthmus. General Herrara, the leader of the In vading force, according to Senor Cal deron was formerly musician in one of Colombia's military bands, who left that country for Venezuela and afterwards went to Nicaragua, where his rise In military affairs t-videntiy has been very rapid.

The telegraph ers on the Southern Hallway System, who are members of the Order of Kail road Telegraphers were ordered on strike by President Powell at 11 o'clock this morning. The Southern Railroad officials claim to-night that but ten per cent, of the men have cjuit work, while President Powell Kays 90 per cent, of them are out. There has been consider able delay to both passenger and freight tralne, but the effect of the walkout is not yet known to the extent which would warrant an accurate as sertion as to the exfet situation. It was Kiven out to-riiht at the of fice of Assistant Genera! Superintend ant Thompson, of the Southern, that the pla s f the revets men who had struck in Atlanta, had been filled and that the dispatchers on all divisions oetitei intf ate Jit work. N'o serious delay, the oiliciais say, has been caus ed, cxeoptiiiK in the case of the Wash inKU'ii limited due heie at 4 p. in., and a local iasi Kr which left this morn ing for Richmond. The Washington limited arrived four hours and a half late, and the Richmond local was taken up near Cornelia, Ga.. by the vestibule, which left here for Washington at noon. Mr. V. V. Powell, president of the O. R. T., rave out the following state ment to-nifht: "Reports from every division of the Si uthern Railroad show that the entire system, with the ex ception of the Louisville branch, is tied up ompiotely, so far as freight trains are concerned. and that passenger trains ate being run only under great -Jillioulty. All passenger trains are from three U seven hours late, and are making very slow time. "Our members on the Kirrningham, Knoxvi!!", ci.-n J.-.tte. Danville, Chatta nooga. Asl.. ville. Washington, Colum bia, Raleigh and Rjnohburg divisions, wire the condition of affairs is very encouraging to the men, and that fully DO per cent, of the telegraphers and dis pat hers me .n a strike.

It was ascertained at midnight mat iho oflii ials of the Southern, antici pating the strike of the telegraphers, gave ciders several days ago that in case of a valk out that all freight trains l-o l.ci.l up and that the en oineers: i mi their trains by the card schedule. This b-ais out Mr. Powell's assert ion thai freight tial'ic is com pletely tied up and explains the delay to the pars. nger trains. Altr a stiike had been determined upon and the prolimimit it s had been arranged, a few minutes before 11 o'clock, i'lesident Poueil sent the foil-wing v, ire message to a!! the tele graphers on the Southern railway sys ! in, extending fiotn A :e.-:.i:nlria, Va., to Meridian.

ELECTION OF SENATORS- TOE IIOl'SE ADOPTS AS AKE5D- 11 EXT TO THE COSSTITITIOS Providing; for Ibe MccUou of l ulled Stales Srnitors by Itirrrt Vole of tbe People by a Vole or 210 lo 15 Sbarp Attacks MaIc u Mr. Tntbrrt on Pension Discussion. Washington, April 13. The House to day by a vote of 240 to 15, adopted a resolution for a constitutional amend ment providing for the election of Uni ted States Senators by direct vote o. the people. Fourteen Republicans and one Democrat voted against it. By the terms of the resolution, the amend- ( ment to be submitted to the Legis latures, is as follows: "The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two senators from each state, who thall be elected by a direct vote of the people thereof, for a term of six years, and each senator 6hall have one vote. A plurality of the votes cast f r candidates for senator shall be sufficient lo elect. The elect ors in each state shall have the quali fications requisite for electors of the most numc! ou branch of the State legislatui es, 1 1 spectivt !y. 'When a vacancy happens, by death, resignation, or otherwise, in the repre sentation of any state in the Senate, the same shall be filled for the unexpired term thereof in the ra-ne manner as ij provided for the election cf senators In paragraph 1: Provided, that the ex ecutive thereof may make temporal y appointment until the next general or special election, in accordance with the statutes or Constitution of such state." The l emaindt r of the day was ic- voted to the consider ii -.ion of private pension bills. Si veral .--haip attacks were made upon Mr. Talbert, Democrat, of South Carolina, fcr his course in delaying action upon bills. There were two joint resolutions on the popular c lection of Senators, when the House adjourned yesterday. The majoiity resolution of the committee left it tilth hilI vith the states whether their senators should be elected direct ly, or by the legislatures. The minority resolution maiio it incumbent that each Etate elect by direct vot. The minority resolution, v'liich offered as a sub stitute, was voted upon lirst, and was carried by an erwhelming vote- ayes 135, litis 0. in. Corliss tried un- availingly to get tin aye and no vote, but only nine members seconded the de mand. The vote Kas then taken upon the adoption of the amendment, the whole House lising in support of the demand. The resolution was adopted I'-iO to 15. The negative votes were cast by Messrs. Allen. Maine; I'.urleigh, Maine; Calderhead, Kansas; Fordney, Michi gan; Gardner, New Jersey; Hedge, Iowa; Henry, Connecticut; Dane, Iowa; Dester, Georgia; Littlefield, Maine; MoPhftrson, Iowa; Mann, Illinois; Rus sell, Connecticut; Sperry, Connecticut, and Thomas, Iowa. Mr. Hepburn, of Iowa, asked unani mous consent to set aside May 1 for the consideration of the Nicaragua Canal bill. "I object," shouted Mr. Burton, of Ohio, emphatically. Mr. Hepburn then took steps to over come this opposition, and a petition to the Committee on Rules was prepared, requesting that body to fix a time for taking up the canal bill. Mr. Hepburn circulated the petition on the Republi can side, and up to the time the ad journment, securtd CI signatures. Air. Adamson, who circulated the petition on the" Democratic side said: "There is no opposition whatever on this side, and every man present to day has signed the petition. The num ber exceeds sixty." Notwithstanding thee efforts, it was intimated pretty stn ngly in well informed quarters, that the committee tin rules was not likely to bring in a special rule. The members of the committee declined, however, to mat e any definite statement on the sub ' ?t t . Mr. Talbert, South Carolina, sent to the clerk's desk and had read some let ters from old soldiers in various parts of the country protesting against the special acts "ground out by the con gressional bureau." One of them said the old soldiers were very " sore." Mr. Talbert said the letters read were simp ly samples of hundreds he had received. Later on Mr. Talbert, who was de manding the reading of the report In each case and who several times made points of no quorum, became involved in a controversy Tith Mr. Shattuc, of Ohio, who expressed the opinion that opposition to pensions came with ill grace from a former Confederate sold ier. Mr. Sibley, of Pennsylvania, said a simple calculation would show that it cost $36,C0O a day for a session of the House, or $7UI0 an hour. The time frit tered away by Mr. Talbert since he came to congress, he said, would more than pay all the special pension bills passed during that period. Mr. Nor ton, of Ohio, protested against Mr. Talbert's course. If he found an unjust bill and could demonstrate that It was unjust, he (Norton) and many members on the tloor would join him In defeating it. He appealed to Mr. Talbert to abandon his objections. Mr. Lamb, of Virginia, joined in the appeal, and his remarks drew forth a scathing denunciation from Mr. Tal bert. He said the trouble was the gentleman fr om Virginia had claims be fore the House he desired to get through. The same was true of other gentlemen. It was a log rolling com bine. They dared not fight these un just pension bills, as he was doing. When he went into the Confederate army, he said, he and his had staked everything, and had lost it. They wre not passing the hut. around now. Mr. Fordnpy. of Jilt -higai. attacked Mr. Tal bert a little later, il- said that when Mr. Talbert said l,e was a friend of the soldier, he would net believe him on oath. Mr. Talbert with a great show of wrath, replied that when the gentle man imputed untrc.tl.i ulriess to him, he hurled it back, and "crammed it down his rotten throat." lie grew so ex cited that the Chair was obliged to call him to order. When quiet had been re stored, Mr. Fordm-y raised a roar of laughter by remarking quietly: "I believe in the biblical promise that we shall be born again. I hope to God, that when Mr. Talbert's time comes he will be still born." The House favorably acted upon E3 bills, among whUh were two Senate bills to increase t lie pensions of the widows of Captain AUyn Capron and Captain Allyn K. Capron, father and son, who fell during the Spanish war in Cuba. The Senate fixed the rate of each of these widows at $40. The House -reduced the amount to $25 in the case of the former!fiKt,$3u In the case of the latter. At 5:00 tl; House &iiaarned. Hens. The best tiie tew set a hen iz when the hen is redd v.

London, April 13. 1:30 a. m. In a round about way, London hears that Lord Roberts when wiring to the Prince of Wales at Copenhagen congratula tions upon his escape from assissin ation, added two or three hopeful sen tences portending an early advance with wide reaching combinations. Quiet assurances are passed around among military men that Lord Roberts is employing his great army effective ly, and that the adventurous Boer com mandoes are likely to be enmeshed. Scraps of news a detail here and an other there, have reached England to night over comparatively idle cables, but they do not illuminate the situation. The Colonials at Werer.er still hold off the Boers. Lord Methuen has work ed eastward until he is within eighty miles of Kroonstad. Boer scouts have gone around Ladysmith, and have ap peared at Dewdrcp and other places 'on General Buller's Hanks and rear. The officers of Buller's irregular horse, esti mate the Boers in Natal r.s 18. COO. but these figures are probably excessive, 10,000 being regarded here as the out side number. After General Hart's brigade leaves hiin, General Puller will still have close upon 35.000 men. It is generally assum ed that this brigade is going to join Lord Roberts, but its destination is really unknown. The Hoers have issued a note to Por tugal, regarding the use by the British of the Beira route for the transporta tion of troops to Rhodesia and this may, if the Boers act against Portugal, lead Great Britain to land troops at Lou renzo Marques. This possibility has been seriously discussed and is referred to at length in the moi ning papers to day. The work of the Poor peace com missioners has begun. Mr. Fischer has asked Italy to intervene, and the Ital ian Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Marquis di Visconti-Venosta, has re plied that while he would receive the envoys, the best he could do would be to transmit their proposal to London, thus following the course of the United States. Sir Alfred Milner when replying to a deputation of clergymen in Cape Town yesterday (Thursday) said: "'Never again' must be the motto of all think ing and humane men, but not from lust of conquest or a desire to trample on the gallant, if mitguided. There must be no compromise or patchwork in the settlement, and no opportunity for mis understanding, intrigue, the revival of impossible ambitions, or the accumula tion of enormous armaments. The British will no longer tolerate dissim ilar and antagonistic political systems in a country which nature and history have declared to be one." In these absolute utterances of Sir Alfred Milner, he stieaks for the im perial government It is calculated that Lord Roberts now has 211,000 effective troops, with 12,000 more afloat or under orders. The War Office has instructed officers not to tf.ke anw more expanding bullets to Africa for revolvers. Hildyard Steyn, brother of President Steyn.in the course of an interview at Bloomfontein, said: 'The original war plan of the Boers was to overrun all Cape Colony, but en becoming involv ed in the seiges of Kimberley and Ladysmith, the burp hers found the de sign spoiled. To this I attribute the Boer failure to conquer the British. I expect the war to last until Christ mas." The seventh month of the war is be ginning with easier tide, and the morn ing paper editorials expatiate upon the need of soberness. Pretoria, April 11. A heavy cannon ade was heard this morning in the di rection of Bult Fontein, situated mid way between Wind burg and Boshof, in the Orange Free State and north of Brandfort. Advices from the Boer headquarters in Natal say that after a heavy bom bardment the British are retiring in the direction of Ladysmith and the fede rals are going to their old positions. Advices from Wept ner, where a Brit ish force is surrounded, say the battle continues favorable to the federals. About 1500 British troops are said to be there. The Free State Gazette publishes or ders to the effect that no person who has been commandeered for active ser vice has the right to send a substitute without the consent of the Landrost. In reference to leaves of absence, the Gazette says that 10 per cent, of each command will be relieved by ballot for periods of twelve days. This is intend ed to meet the wishes of the burghers desiring to plant their crops. Cape Town, April 12. The British steamer Monterey, Captain Parry, which sailed from Halifax March 17th with Lord Ptrathcona and Mount Roy als contingent of C anadian troops on board, has arrived here. Bloemfontein. April 11. According to information received here the Boer ac tivity eastward of the railroad and in proximity to the border is largely due to the fact that Presidents Kruger and Steyn have found they are unable to keep their forces together in inactivity, the burghers declaring they are unwill ing to remain with their commands un less actively employed, as they are con vinced the British game is a waiting one. It is believed the Boer movement was originally designed to oblige Lord Roberts to weaken his force at Bloem fontein in order to protect the rail road, when the Boers would have at tempted to recapture the capital. But the burghers are evidently Ignorant of the enormous forces Lord Roberts has at his disposal. Advices from Karee Siding say the Boers are busy entrenching their posi tion east of Brandfort running parallel with the railroad, while still strongly holding the Waterval drift water works. London, April 13. A dispatch to the Daily Mail from Lorenzo Marques dated Thursday, says: It is reported from Pretoria that a Boer commando is mov ing through Basutoland. This is said to be a clever ruse to draw the British away from Wepener. About 2000 for eigners constitute the new foreign leg ion at Pretoria. Aliwal North. Apr" 12. News from Boer sources at V". .-ner f'ally com municated, says- : t f "r guns have been disa' md four command ants killed or led. On T,M8d,ay There is more catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases was together, and until the last few years are supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronouueed it a local diseise, and prescribed local remedies and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrli to be a consti tutional disease, and, therefore, requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
