THE North Term gives the following
synopsis Of the immigration to Texas
over the Iron Mountain route, who
carried land-buyers tickets from octo-
Der !. 1876 to April /, 1877: Michigan,
3,Sl2 Ohio, 1882; Pennsylvania, -
69l; Tennessee, 1l,26s Kentucky, l.
gj9 New York, $40 Total, 1923.
This says nothing of the large class of
persons who passed over the road on
first-elass tickets-nothing of the long
lines of immigrants brought over the
Missouri, Kansas Il Texas road from
the same direction--nothing of the
thousands of people who are focking
here from North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, Georgia. Florida, Alabama, Mi.sis-
sippi and nothing of scores
who are coming from almost every state
in the Union. Truly the watchword is
Texas.

DuRISG several years just passed, many
farmers from Texas crossed tho Red
river into the Indian Territory, and
were improving good farms there, leas-
ing the land from the natives. BY q
recent law of the legislature, there was
imposed tax Of twenty five dollars per
head upon every male adult. This
struck the poor men heavy blow, one
which they were unable, as well as un-
willing, TO endure Governor Overton,
accompanied by United States soldiers,
has been driving the white settlers
away from their homes to this side oil
the river. They are compelled to leave
all their possessions aud growirg crops,
and will thus sustain severe losses.
While there has been some talk of re-
distance, there has none occurred as yet
What the result Of this injustice will b.
cannot now be predicted.

YESTERDAY we gave the list of officers
and directors elected by the Central
railroad stockholders. There were
65,657 of the 1913 shares repre-
sented at the meeting. The board of
directors. which had consisted of seven
members, was increased to nine. The
stockholders granted the board of di,
rectors authority to issue seven per
cent. interest bearing bonds, 10 the
amount of $2,500.0o0, in order 10 pro-
vide for the floating debt. The bonds,
of course, being secured by mortgage
upon the road and all its apurtenances.
The bonds have already been issued
by the company.
We CLEAN the following biographies
of the officers from the Tslegram
Mr.. Charles A. Whitney. the presi-
dent, is = son-in-law of Commodore
Charles Morgan, and is senior member
of the firm Of c. A. Whitney q Co, of
New Orleans, who have for years had
control of the transportation interests
of Commodore Morgan, embracing both
steamships and railroads. He brings
TO bear on the affairs of the Central the
large experience thus acquired. and
will doubtless inaugurate the economi-
cal and efficient system of management
which is the chief characteristic of
Morgan's lines of TRANSPORTATION
Mr. G. Jordan, the vice>presidenf. is

an engineer by profession, and has had
extensive railroad experience, hav
ing been for seventeen years gem
eral manager OF the Montgomery and
Mobile railroad in Alabama, in which
position he acquired q high reputation
for ability. lie has, for some time past
been general manager of the Memphi:
and Charleston railroad, and come
thence to Texas with very high
rank among the railroad men o
the south. His selection as yice>presi
dent OF the Central, is doubtless due to
the skill and ability displayed by hin
in his former official positions.
Mr.. A. S. Richardson the secretary
is native Texan, almost q native
Honstonian, and is well known to mos
of our readers. He has hel the posi-
ton to which he has been reelected
for ten years past. His re-elect ion is &
gratifying evidence of his ability, use

of the company.

BALTIMORE, May 10. "A general
convention of the Methodist Protest.
ant church, aud also of the Methodist
church, the two principal noD-Episco-
pal Methodist churches In the United
states, will assemble in this city to-
morrow. this special purpose being a
formal reunion Of the two denomina-
tions. Previous to 1858, they consti-
tuted one organization. and were then
divided on the slavery question. In
October, 1857, commissions appointed
by the general conferences Of the two
churches, with the view to reeeta olish-
ing fraternal relations, met in Pitts
burg. and agreed upon basis of re-
union. To confirm the action Of this
joint commission, by the necessary
Legislation, the conferences meet to-
morrow, and will subsequently go into
session. Bishop Simpson and DR..
Alexander Gibson will be in attend
ance, as fraternal messengers from the
Aethodists.

seventeen millions of dollars, two
thirds of this being with Russia The
precise figures show that it is on our
exports most entirely that the influence
of the war will be felt. As fully one
half of our export to Russia enters her
ports by way Of the Black Sea, it is
very probable that 80 much of the
trade would be stopped. to be diverted
perhaps 70 The Baltic and White seas
The Turkish trade would net be likely
TO be interrupted. 1t is this compare
lively insignificant foreign trade of the
two nations at war that makes their
present relations TO one another a
matter of little direct commercial in
terest to US. But when we regard the
export trade in grain which they usual
ly command, the war will De seen to
have very large Importance to US be
cause of the interruption to that trade
which il is responsible for. In grain
exports Russia and the Turkish prov~
inces are the formidable rivals OF the
United States in the markets of En-
rope. Since 1864, Russian exports of
wheat have ranged from thirty-three TO
seyenty-hye million bushels per annum,
and steadily declining of late years
The Turkish-Danubian provinces now
export twenty>seven million bushels of
breadstuffs, all told. An estimated aver.
age of the exports of both countries
gives a total Of seventy-two million
bushels of wheat and maize liable to be
interrupted by the war All. of course,
depends upon the magnitude and pro-
longation of the war If it so far alb
serbs the productive force of the two
countries as 70 render the raising of grain
an uncertainty beyond the limits OF
each eountry's needs, then our oppor>
tunIty will be clear one 1t depends
again, at the last, on the extent of the
obstruction TO exports ls way OF the
Black sea But of the fact that there
will be large deficiencies in the supply
u
OF grain to the European markets from
the Black sea there can be little
doubt, and for making them up the
United States will be literally drawn
upon. The supply of wheat in our
own markets nov is not more than
one-half of what it was year ago, and
~ ,ya 1aIot,lata that a.. p,,ss;o,, s,,,x,,l -
is cut OFF from the English market by
the war, the supply until the next
harvest must be very small and prices
of course very high. And them comes
in the question OF what that harvest
may be. The rumors OF hail storms
and grasshoppers are surely not of an
encouraging sort, although some due
allowance is to be- made for habitual
grnmbling and the tricks of specula-
tors. But if the war is prolonged
whether it becomes extended over
Europe or not. there is no question that
it will create an extraordinary demand
for American breadstutIs in Europe by
cutting off the usual support from the
Black sea region. And in the event of
the wars becoming general, the drafts
on our agricultural resources will be-
come immense, far SURPRISING anything
they have been in the past And this
is the wheel that will set all the other
industries going. 1t only remains for
Intelligent and patriotic legislation to
take all proper advantage of its rare
opportunity.
