revenue at San Francisco, WIS st last
sent TO the Senate to-day, and during the
executive session was referred in due

oppose its confirmation, and there is
much reason to believe that it will be re-

however, without hard work on the part

The wheat Deal,

New York, SIT is claimed by some
merchants here thst the rapid decline in
the Liverpool market has broken the
wheat corner, and thst wheat will now
decline as rapidly as it advanced when
Keene and other heavy operators cor.
nered The market. 1t is estimated by
some that this will be q decline of over
2Oc. a bushel, which will put the price a
its normal rate. Grain shippers, in view
ofthe anticipated decline, are busily en-
ga0ed in seeking vessel chsIters fOl
foreign shipments, and there is unusua
activity among the large feet now lying
al the wharves. Ocean freights were
frmer yesterday for grain carrying yes
sells, the ruling rate for sailing vessel
| being four shillings.

contract for putting up the town clock in
the cupala of the court house, finished the

The Entire Compilation of the Census
Not TO be Ready For Three Years.

Washington, Aug. 12.-It is estimated
that at least three years will be required TO
complete the entire compilation of the CEN
sus. Within the past few days large num-
Der of persons of both sexes have received
appointments in the census office, and many
more are yet to be appointed. The pressure
brought upon General Walker for places has
been tremendous. But few Of the more re-
Gently appointed receive more than $500
per year. The dem nd for office was SO
great that General Walker found that he
could get competent clerks at $3.50, $3.50 and
even for $500 per year. The annex to the
census office building, put up to accommo-
date the clerical force, will be completed in
few days, and then the Office will be thor
sushly organized. II will be some time be-
fore commissioner Walker will DO ready to
issue special agurss of population. After the
review and computation is made, il is subject
ed to two revicions, and until such rovisons
are made the data is not considered &C.
curate.

The Convention.

Principles, and no figure beads in office,
are what the people of Texas want and de-
mand Besides this, the delegates and visit
ors to the state Democratic convention want
to know just where they can get the very
best articles of whisky, wines, brandies and
foaming beer, and the response is, by a large
majority, ~ the Convention Saloon" stu
ated at the southeast corner Of Austin street
and Pacific avenue, just across the Texas
& Pacific railroad track from the conven.
ton hall. Mr.. J. 9. Starke, the whole
souled, popular proprietor, has fitted up this
saloon in elegant style, especially for the &C.
commodatOn of the convention. The saloon
is beautifully and tast ly decorated with ey-
ergreens and the United States Colors, and is
honored by portraits Of Hancock and English.
Yet the outside appearance Of this bar is not
its true virtue, for behind the counter is, and
over il is handed tie pur0st of liquors. Mr.
Stsrke prides himself especially upon his
whisky, which his nine year old goods, and
none other than this will be served. His
wines and liquors are excellent and fresh, ice
cold beer can be found constantly on tap
Special attention will be- paid to fancy drinks
and on application orders sent from the con-
vention hall will be promptly and faithfully
filled by attentive walters. He has also on
hand q fine selection ofciears.
LUNCH
At all hours, day and night, will be found
spread superb lunch, consisting ola variety
of dishes. This department will be presided
over by that we'l-known caterer, G.. W.
Jones, who knows so well how to tickle the
public's palate.
The Wichita Exchange, of which this..is a
branch, situated at the east end of the same
block, will be open day and night to guests
who will be cautiously and faithfully served,

ALREADY SHOWS STRONG.
The Result of the Radical Change OF
Policy of u Most satisfactory
Character.

The result, even already, has proved tn
wisdom of the move made last spring when
the Baltimore and Ohio threw railroad cir
Giles into whirl of excitement by the an
nouncement of its new fast time card. The
old road had for years been looked upon as
taking things rather easy, and its radical
change of policy has proved none the less
successful from the time taken to perfect it
in advance. The passenger bu]iness of the
road from comparative unimportance, has
within three IL onths grown to such avolume as
to seriously agitate competing lines. The B.
Il O. has made its fast time with such ease,
and so readily sustained its old reputation for
being "on the minute" rs to win no erd of
public favor. Meantime there has been no
cessation of work upon the track, the road
bed and the dining halls. Many thousand
tons of new steel have replaced the old ral!, a
vast amount of labor has been done in bal
lasting with stone and the dining halls have
been re.psinted and renovated from celler to
garrett. No road in the country has now a
finer line of eating stations, the food served
being of the very best and cooked to turn. "
The new transfer steamer Canton, which car
ries entire the New York trains over the bay
at Baltimore, is great success. The trans.
fer is made in five minutes as against half
hour by the old haul through the streets or
the long tunnel ride uuder the city. Some
conception of the excellence of the B. IL o
track may be had from The recent running of
couple of locomotives. One of them made
sixty-three miles in sixty-nine minutes, and
the other, ninety-four miles in less than an
hour and twenty minutes. This remarkable
running was made without any extra prepa-
ration and with the usual trains in both

Arrested for Murder.

Last Wednesday Mr.. W. NJ. Leslie, of the
Galveston News, after two days search at
Fort Worth, found on a back street and or
rested one Charles Roberts, the murderer of
Duncan w. Rankin, Leslies brother-in-law
The murder was committed in July, 1879, at
the old town of Claiborne, on the Alabama
river, and was no doubt premeditated and
cold. blooded. Rankin was coming do wn the
street alone, when Roberts, who
was secreted, killed him with
double.barrel shotgun, the full contents
of the gun entering the body of the MUIR
dered man. AT the breaking out Of the war;
then in his teens, Mr.. Rankin entered the
Confederate service and went to the war with
the gallant Claiborne Guards, one of the
fighting companies Of the south. After the
fall of Captain Foster in battle Mr.. Rankin,
not then twenty-one years of age, on account
of his favor with his comrades and his valor
on the battle field, was maie the captain Of
that company, and served until the
surrender. His death last year occasioned
much regret in large and highly
respected family circle both on his
own and his wifes side, and also cast gloom
over the whole county where he WAS raised.
Roberts was Jailed in Monroe county, Ala,
as soon as the bloody deed was done. He
escaped and was re.csptured, but soon broke
Jail again, and not until last Wednesday
was he caught for the third time.
A requsiton was at once telegraphed for
by Mr.. Leslie. Roberts is now in Jail at
Fort Worth.
