GALVESTON, April pa special from
Waco says: "Trouble has been brewing for
some days between the Missouri Pacific and
the st. Louis and Texas Narrow Gauge
Railroad companies. 1t was expected that
the Missouri Pacific men would attempt to
tear up the temporary track laid by the Mar
row Gauge company at the intersection OF the
roads, and early yesterday morning the
Missouri Pacific Company moved a small
force down intending to remove the track
but they were foiled by the Narrow Gauge
men who drove their teams around and over
the track. The Missouri Pacific had mean
while moved a large force up the
road which arrived at the crossing at ten
o'clock, and the news of the threatened
conflict spread throughout the town.
Terms of reconciliation were offered with
out avail. At three O'Clock the Missouri
Pacific teams surrounded the track with
Marvin, the Chief Engineer, at their head.
He was met by Chief Engineer Axtell, Of
the Narrow Gauge force, who proposed to
make it a personal matter with Marvin.
Several Of the Narrow Gauge men then
gathered around, and forced Marvin back.
The opposing forces drove each other back
alternately for fully half an hour in the
presence of an excited crowd of a hundred
cAtiAeuei VINO were uouenGarlly expecting
more serious trouble.
| When the excitement had reached it's
height four OF the leaders of the Missouri
Pacific men, including Marvin and Thomas,
contractor, and also Axtell, of the Mar
row Gauge forces, were arrested. The
Missouri Pacific leaders are charged with
| melting to riot. They are to appear before
| Justice Davis on Monday. Both companies
! claim the property by purchase.
1t is said that the Missouri Pcific had the
right Of way first, but the Narrow Gauge
Company purchased piece Of property
fifty yards of track, thereby acquiring the
! right of possession"
LATER-Both forces have retired to camp
the track having been covered with piles
| and wagons.

THE TUNIS TROUBLES.
Complete Submission of the KrOu.

at Malta.

LONDON, April 23-A dispatch from the
Times says: "The Kroumires have offered
complete submission and will surrender un-
condItionallY to the commander of the
Bey's troops The Maltese residents Of
Tunis are hourly sending kilograms to
Malta, asking for the presence OF British
men-of-war, In view of the possibility of a
faDatical outbreak" TT may be noted that
previous reports of the desire of the Krou-
mires to surrender unconditionallY have
proved unfounded.
TUNIs, April A.-The apprehensions Of
the foreign residents were exaggerated in
consequence of the Bey's statement that he
would be unable to guarantee safety to Eu-
ropeans in the event of the French troops
crossing the Tunisian frontier.
NJ. Roustar, the French Consul General,
has declared that he would himself answer
for their safety, and would offer an asylum
on board the French gunboats to all fearing
for their safety.

The Trade of NTemphIs.

MEMPHIS, April 23.-A summary Of the
general trade of Memphis during the week
shows that it has been fair for the season.
The entire farming interest is actively en-
gagged in plowing and planting. High water
and threatened overflow, together with other
causes, have checked trade to some extent,
but not very much. The volume has been
fully up to the usual standard for the sea-
son.
The large receipts of cotton at Liverpool
and the dullness Of the market in that city
have had depressing effect on the staple
here, and sales for the week show falling
off from the previous week. Exporters
have been out of the market for three days,
and what sales have been made were on
spinners' futures. The outlook is favorable,
although the season is fully two weeks late
Preparations have been made for planting
an acreage which will be equal to that Of
last year, both in cotton and corn.

The Standards correspondent at Athens
