KellOgg's Reply to the Foreign Bond.
holders - The Republican State
Central Committee Opposes
New Election, Etc.

NEW ORLEANS, January 23.-Gov-
ernOr Kellogg has replied to the protest
of foreign bond-bolders that he believes
their action is founded on imperfect in
formation; that he has transmitted to
them full statement of facts which
have led the State government to pro-
pose the pending funding scheme; that
on full consideration of these data he
believes the council will agree with the
chamber of commerce.
The funding bill passed the Senate to-
day, without amendment, by a unani-
nous vote. The bill and constitutional
amendments will be signed by the gov
ernOr and promulgated in the official
journal Sunday.
The Republican State central commit
tee is now in session in the senate cham
Der. There is full attendance from all
parts Of the State. Resolutions have
been unanimously adopted, protesting
against a new election, as likely to cost
the lives of hundreds of colored men in
the northern part Of the State, and the
Red river parishes.

GALVESTON, January 23.-The Gal
weston Ne,OS'S special from Austin says
that the governor has issued his proela-

seventeenth of February to fill the va

trIcts.
The Travis rifles met at their armory
in full-dress uniform, and marched to
the capitol building, where two Gatlins
guns were in position. One hundred and
two guns were fired In honor of the great
success of free government. The gov
ernor and lieutenant-governor were
called for, and responded in an address.
There was large attendance.
Governor Coke said: 81 thank you
for the honor you have done me as the
representative of free government in
Texas. The demonstration you are
showing proves that your hearts and
souls are in unison with the great heart
of the people of Texas from the Rio
GTande to the Sabine and from the noun
tains to the gulf. Joy unspeakable is
yelling up from the hearts of the people
because of free government. The right
of local self-government, which has
been suppressed for these many years,
has at length aroused itself.n
