houses abandoned the trade of northwest
Texas, becsuse she could not ship To that
poiht in small lots ami complete with local
jobbers. The resat was = milo and half
dollars worth of trade wss paid into the lap
OF Gainesville from tbs west during the year
1850. But now the situation is changed
The railroad is completed from this city to
Denton, and the trade of the entire west is
opened to our merchants. The distance from
ell parts Of northwest Texas beyond the centre
OF Clay county to Denton, is no greater than
it Is to gainesville. Psrtes who claim 10
know whereof they spesl, say the roads are
much better in the direction Of Deston than
those leading TO Gainesville, This being true
our merchants should make an effort TO turn
the western trade into Denton, and through
Denton into Dallas. All the travel from
northwest Texas to the capital, or other
points SOUTH Should come through Denton
end Dallas, as it is much nearer than via
Gainesville and Denison. The benefits to
accrue TO our city from this diversion of the
wagon trade and travel of the west are too
apparent to need specifying every business
man can see them at g glance. Then work
with Denton, and you can ut least divide the
trade with Gainesville. giving Denton three
quarters of million dollars worth of west
ern trade during the present year.

A we'll known engineer on the U. p. who
has q slight impo1iment ia his speech, had
an interview few days since with his d.
vision superintendent, the nature Of which
gradually leaked out and became source of
considerable fun for the boys. The story
goes that on recent run his engine had a
collision with COW, resulting disastrously
to the animal in question. By a rule of the
railroad company such accidents must be
reporte by the engineer and conductor in
writing, and for some reason the engineer
forgot his duty on this occasion, until he was
summoned before the railroad magnate for
private investigation.

CLAYTON-BULWER TREATY
Secretary Blaine Demands It's Abroga-
ton.

ton.
LONDON, Dec. 13.-The United States min
lister here has received an elaborate dispatch
from the United States Secretary of State, cit
ing strong historical evidence to show that the
Clavton-Bulwer treaty was regarded both in
England and in the United States from the
time of its signature as a failure to adjust the
relative claims of the two powers to a control
ling influence in the waters of the new world,
and insisting upon its abrogation as essential
This dispatch was received at the legation here
during the absence of Mr. Lowell on the Con-
tinent, and as Mr.. Lowell was authorized to
read it at the British foreign office, Mr.. Hop
pliD, acting as charge d'affairs, did not feel
disposed to take any action upon it until the
return of the minister. 1t is in the nature of
supplementary dispatch to the circular letters
sent out by the Secretary of State to the Amer
ican agents In Europe, in which the United
States distinctly refuse to entertain any propo-
can guarantee Of the neutrality of the Panama
canal or any other waterway opened between
the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
This second dispatch, on its way to England,
crossed, as have reason to believe, dispatch
from Earl Granville, in reply to Mr.. Blaine's
circular touching the Panama canal, in which
the British frreigts minister has invited the at
teution of the United States government to
the terms Of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty of 1850,
as binding the United States to assent to a
joint protectorate and guarantee over any
transit of the Isthmus. This dispatch of Earl
Granville. now in the bands of Mr.. Sackvile
West at Washington, has doubtless been COM
municated before this time to the State de-
partment there. Mr.. BlaiDes later dispatch
to Mr.. Lowell cannot, officially speaking, be
considered as a reply to it.. but as it directly
traverses the positions taken up by Earl Gran
vile, it will make it necessary for the United
States either to maintain the traverse in a new
dispatch directly addressed to the British for
eign office, or to recede FRI m the position taken
up by the Department OF State of the United
States in Mr.. Blaine's circular touching the
Panama canal to the American agents in Er-
xoua

WALL STREET.


NEW YORK, Dec 13.--Wali street reports
state that the Vanderbilt proposition at the
trunk line conference Saturday was that the
two questions of differential rates and New
England business should be left to committee
of arbitration, which should confer with busi-
ness men in Boston, New York, Philadelphia
aud Baltimore and render a decision based
upon full understanding of the commercial in
terests of each port.
Western Union directors say that the next
statement presented by the company will be
very fattering.
Insiders bought most of the Boston, Hart
ford & Erie frsts offered yesterday. Investors s
continue to buy railroad bonds.
The report of a reduction of rates by Erie
yesterday is denied
Reports of reduction in grain rates from
Chicago were current at the Produce Exchage.
There was but little foreign demand for
stocks yesterday, although money is much
easier in Frankfort and Amsterdam.
Rates on grain have been advanced by each
of the trunk lines east from st. Louis.

BOSTON'S ELECTION.
DR.. Samuel A. Green Elected
Mayor.

Boston, Dec. 13.-Retnrns from all but two
precincts in the city show the election OF DR..
Samuel A. Green, the nominee of the Republi-
cans and Citizens, for mayor by 582 majority
over Hon. Albert Palmer, Democrat. Though
there was much interest taken in the election
especially on the question Of license, the total
vote will be about 81 900 as against 1000 last
year when f. o. Prince (Dem.) was elected
mayor by 5l2 majority. OF the two precincts
to hear from one is Democratic and the other Re
publican and their votes will offset each other
and not alter the result. Indications point to
the election of the Citizens ticket for aldermen
which con tains the names OF seven Republicans
and Democrats, but owing to the multiplicity OF
tickets in the field and large amount of
scratching done on local issues the result of
the vote for aldermen and members of the
common council will not be known until to-
morrow morning. The city has undoubtedly
voted for license, bbt the figures cannot be
stated till late hour.
TsEcoND DEsPATcH.1
Official returns materially reduce the pre-
viously stated majority of DIR. Green. The
count il not vet completed So far six Repub-
ably elected with chances OF the election OF
two more Democrats.
THIRD pEsPATcH
The official count of the city election was
not campleted at I30 q. IN. AT that hour it
was known the Republicans with the aid of
the Citizens movement have elected their
mayor by six hundred majority, and have
secured large representation in the board of
aldermen than for several years past. They
have reduced majority il the common coun-
Gil and half thRszaanahers Of tho school vor1-
mlttee.
THE dispatches relative to the vote on the
license question are, it will be seen, contradic-
tory.]
WORCESTER, Dec. 13-Ehiah b. StodGard
