\ Citizen Of Texas has written COM
tnunication - the New York Tribune IN
whic!! he denies the truth OF tAc a.iesa-
lions made bv Sam Houston III his war
speech. on the subject Of the Texan boun-
darr. Thi, writer declares il Is u.terlr
falls. that the government Of Texas main
famed authority over the strip OF land be-
tween the Nueces and the Rio GranIe
from the period Of their declaration O: III
dependence. IN proofof which. he makes
the following statement which IS subs;an-
tiallv corro5orated by direct information
from other responsible sources.-Louts-
rifle formal.
II held Texas commission under
Captain r. Ross. in a troop Of horse ran
gers. for the protection OF the frontier
counties. Our beats were defined By the
adiutant general, with Instructions ::3t 10
cross the Nueccs On my return from the
frontier, applied to Judge Lipsconbe, Ct
Galveston, for my certificate OF head
right. at the same time inquring if it were
possible for me to locate my land west Of
the Nucccs. as nearly all on the east bank
had been located bv others. His answer
- me was that tie territory # Teras did
not c.r.end 6cgoad the Nucccs. This was
in the fall of 1892
ELECTRIC TE-EGHArH.-Iti is said that a
new electric telegraph has been invented
By Mr.. Bains. OF London. and is about 10
be patented in this country. which bids
fair to supcrsede all those now in use. 1t
may terminate the controversy between
Professor Morse and Mr.. Reilly. much
sooner than it could be done by the courts

the \. \. Journal Of Commerce:
It is both ingenious and simp.c lie
showed its operation to Us, and from what
we saw Of its performances. we feel not Il
doubt bat it is capable Of doing all he
claims for it. lie shows. in other words.
that it IS capable Of transmitting one thou
sand words per minute over telegraph
wires; which Is a rapidity wholly un-
PARALLEL.
What is more. he can prepare or put up
,ong dispatches in Liverpool. and when
tncy- arrive in New York or Boston. the V
can be transmitted in a few minutes. The
presidents message. which may fill page
of the Journal Of Commerce. he saws. can
be transmitted by this machine in less
than an hour. This appears exiraordin-
airy; but It is made quite reasonable by an
inspection Of the operations of the ma
chine.
We conceive that no part of the inven-
ton infr.ingas in the least upon Morse 5
patent. Mr.. Bains dispenseS entirely with
the T.GNEr: hence his IS simply an '-ELfc-
TEIcAL IELEG2APH," and not, as Professor
Morse claims MS to he, an '.elec.ro-lnag-
ne.ic telegraph"
I'VE have not time to 90 into further
particulars. We consider il an invention
Of great Importance. and one i'll which the
rREss. We'll as the people of this coun-
try. arc most deeply Interested. 1t is an
invention that should not become a mono
poly in The hands OF men who might en-
pIoy il to the injury OF the press, and Of the
best interest Of the country.
We understand Mr. Bains sold his patent
England for c12,O00 sterling. IL has
taken measures to secure his patent in
Washington. and intends selling out his
right 10 parties who may be disposed 10
treat wit. him: and if he does not prove
the power of the machine to do all he
claims, he Will not receive cent for il.
