RATS A few years ago not rat was
to be found in this city, but now they
are getting quite plentiful in some parts
OF the city. Efforts should be made to
exteminate these miserable pests, and
to this end inducements should be held
out to boys to catch them. A reward
of % cents for each rat killed would
no doubt induce a number of boys TO
attempt the determination OF the rat
family.

THE present season has been the best
for many years for gathering the cot
ton crop. There has been no contin-
ued wet and iisagreeable weather, and
no high winds to blow cut the cotton.
Low prices have been the only draw
back to the farmer, but as everything
the farmers have to buy is from ten to
twenty per cent. cheaper than ever be.

all. Money is much easier and trade

A RAILROAD man who has been on
the International road for three or four
years says that the immigration is now
much heavier than ever before. The
overloaded trains are what causes the
frequent delays in the arrival of the
trains. The great bulk of the immi-
grafton to this State goes direct to
Fort Worth and then scatters out from
there. Northwestern Texas is settling
up now as rapidly as Kansas did a few
years ago.

lated to allay the anxiety sure TO bt

Sir Stafford reminded the house thai
he expected on the frat night to know
the terms OF peace within two days. A
week bad elapsed, and not only was thl
Government not in possession Of the
terms Of peace, but considerable Russian
forces were still advancing. Therefore
the Government think they cannot Longer

Lively Debate ON the steamboat

WASHINGTON, January 2S.-The House
had lively debate to-day upon the
steamboat bill. The section proposing q
licence tax upon engineers and other
officers OF steamboats, excited very gener.
al opposition Of representatives Of Yves.
tern steamboats, interests. Mr.. Marsh, Of
Illinois, and ]. D. Cox, Of Ohio, entered
various protests against this measure,
claiming that il was an unjust discrimi-
nation against labor, and that the wages
paid TO these men made the tax an ex.
tremely onerous one. Mr.. Marsh claimed
that II the House insisted upon the pro.
vision OF the bill, he should do his best
to secure a similar tax upon conductors,
engineers, and firemen Of all railroads
engaged In interstate commerce. The
strongest argument made against the
license system was that the government
should not depend upon income from
licenses 10 deiray the expenses OF inspec
tion service, and that this latter service
as we'll rs lighthouse service, should bt
supported by the general government, re
gardless Of income. ,
The petroleum section, as reported
passed, and the bill will probably be com
pleted tomorrow.
