AUSTIN, July 2. 1915.
The Convention assembled OH the morn

Gen. Rusk TO preside over its delibera-
lions. On taking the chair he made a

and suitable to the occasion. A commit

The step is taken that will deci lie Mex

disgrace only by The former. To day a
resolution was passed, requesting the Pres

the people OF Texas, 10 send ronps iolh,

sanction, on The part Of the people .!

The intrigue ol those in power here,
which in its commeuc" nlent was advised
by the ex President, has been dlsslpated
by The power Of The people. The Exec

inrIiued to think he has been vicllulzed
by ms friend aud patron as well as her
nia;esty's Minister. True to his iaili,
however, he issued his Proclamation, ad-
mittiue a stale of war and disputed ter
r;,orv. which if moi intended as treason 10
the county, or proceeding from dlsap
poin,cd hopes, was excessively foolish.
Lord Aberdeen has avowed 10 DR.. Ash
