LONDON. March ».—(*>— A
it of British Isolation from con
ttnea^' quarrels appeared on the
Wrbjfcit European scene Saturday
ss sir John Simon, foreign secre
tary. prepared for his momentous
talks with Rrich&fuehrer Hitler in
Berlin.
Sit John himself, in a speech to
[ jonstltuents in the Spen valley near
[Leeds Friday night said. "We can
[not indulge in every sent of foreign
Iventure over all the world or
jledge our activity to everybody's
irrel."
The foreign secretary previously
lid the house of commons Britain
Inas no enthusiasm for special pacts
land Insisted he was not contemplat
ing a special agreement with any
itkxn.
Nevertheless Simon awaited the
(draft of questions Italian, French
id British officials framed In
Pam Saturday which he is expected
to put to Hitler. These in effect,
are expected to demand whether
Germany intends to enter or re
main outside of a new system of
security for Europe.
>lam
The original plans for the con
versations between Simon. Capt.
nthony Eden, Lord Privy Seal, and
Hitler, called for a discussion of
the Anglo-French proposals for se
curity and the elimination of the
pert five of the Versailles treaty
relating to military matters in re
; turn for relch participation In a
security system.
Germany’s action in announcing
conscript army was followed by
an ' announcement of her willing
ness to discuss the original proposals.
The British hope that this desire
.on the part of Germany means that
In satisfactory solution of the whole
(problem still is possible.
| f|ir Austen Chamberlain, former
foreign secretary, told an audience
in Birmingham that the same spirit
••which plunged Europe into war
and caused not only her enemies,
but the world, to affix to her the
guilt on the great war.- still throbs
Ui Germany.

March *8. 1885— Continuing the
atones of LaSalle and the anni
versary dates of French occupancy
o: Texas and the consequent claims
of France to the country as con
trasted with those of Spam, it is
worth while to consider that at the
time of LaSalle's landing and for
many years thereafter Texas was
an Indian country and but sparsely
Ifcopulated by them. Further, that in
al; in# official correspondence prior
to the treaty of 1819 concerning the
ownership of Texas, Spain nevei
contended that any of her people
had located on Texas soil prior to
LaSalle (although Spanish explorers
are supposed to have traversed the
country in 1544i. but always assert
ec her rights as growine out of
voyages of DeLeon, DeSuto and
ot hers, supported by the grant «f
pA Alexander VI and her sub
sequent decree forbidding foreigners
to enter the Gulf of Mexico. In the
course of that correspondence, the
Secretary of State of the United
States of America gave the follow
ing interpretations to the rules of
the law established by European
governments concerning their
American discoveries,— (1) That
when any European nation takes
possession of any extant of sea
coast. that possession is understood
as extending into the interior coun
try to the sources of the rivers empty
ing within that coast, to all their
branches, and the country they
cover, and to give it a right in ex
clusion of all other nations to the
game. (2> That (Whenever one Euro
pean nation makes a discovery and
takes possession of any portion of
this continent, and another after
wards does the same at some dist
ance from It. where the boundary
between them is not determined by
the principle above mentioned, th..t.
the middle distance becomes such,
of course. (3> That whenever any
European nation has thus acquired
a right to any portion of territory ~n
this continent, that right can never
be diminished or affected by any
other power, by virtue of purchases
made, bv grants, or conquests of
the natives, within the limits there
of.

LEGISLATORS

AUerTTN, March *3—<;FV-^hmkete
to scattered TVxm cltlee forced
cessation of legislative activity on
Capitol hill Saturday.
As members enjoyed their first
week-end of excurstoning, two
house committees shaped up bills
on two controversial subjects, re
peal of prohibition and biennial
appropriations, for consideration
next week.
Many house members laid aside
knotty problems of state to Join
Governor James V. Allred In an
excursion to the Southwestern ex
position and Fat Stook shew at
Fort Worth Saturday and Sunday.
While representative* enjoyed the
pleasure Jaunt, two oommlttec*
traveled to several state institutions
for inspections. The house peniten
tiary committee looked over the
prison system, while the senate fin
anoe committee members were
guests of Gslveston. location of
three state Institutions.
The house appropriations ootn
mlttee sent to UM nouse an educa
tional appropriation bill of $0J00,
980, for the first time Is many aee
itom more than recommended by
the senate finance committee. Chair*
man Homer Leonard of McAllen in
dicated he would attempt to obtain
house action on that and other
major appropriation bills next week.
A compromise of senate factions
on a prohibition repeal amendment
was scrapped by the house constitu
tional amendments committee as It
recommended outright repeal of the
state's dry clause. The senate Toted
to restrict sale of liquor to sealed
packages and to prohibit consump
tion cm premises of sale in event of
repeal.
Jammed on long calendars of
business in both houses were many
controversial bills, such as repeal
of horse race wagering or modifica
tion by requiring local option elec
tions; a rural school aid appropri
ation of $10.010 000. and sundry
bills affecting the oil and gas In
dustry.
So congested was the senate cal
endar that a series of anti-crime
bills drafted by the crime Investi
gating committee set for special
consideration last Monday were
not reached during the week.
