Galveston, April 27.-The steamer
Aranas arrived this morning from
Corpus Christi, and brought Gen. Pal
mer and other members Of the Mexican
National company from northern Mex
leo. The captain of the Aranas re-
ports twelve vessels between the Cor
pus wharf and Galveston loaded with
railroad material for this company.
Gen. Palmer says that he now sees
no reason why the company should not
have its tracks completed to Laredo in
June; to Montery, as6 miles from Cor
pus Christi, In December, and to San
Luis Potosi by the close Of next year,
meeting the line being built by the
same company from the City OF Mex
leo northward. There is q very heavy
force on the latter section and the
heaviest work, including two diiicult
tunnels, will be completed and the road
opened to Toluca early in July. He
says the existing business awaiting the
Toluca division is heavy, and he be-
lieves that from the day the line is
opened the traffic per mile will exceed
that Of the Denver & Rio Grande rail-
way, of which he is also president.

Washington, April 27.-In the morn.
ing republican caucus Hale led in advo.
eating an executive session, Hawley.
Sherman and Others supporting him.
The senators generally were noncom-
initial. Logan was willing, provided
the republicans would not surrender
any point of the pending fight; this
seems to be the prevailing idea; the
caucus reached no conclusion. 1t is
evident there will be an early executive
session, possibly tomorrow, but the
republicans will refuse to surrender
their present fight. The democrats be-
lieve that one executive session will
break the republican ranks and cause
an early adjournment. 1t is entirely
untrue that Platt has deserted Conk-
ling; they will stand together; Conkling
intends to bring on the Robertson fight
as soon as possible. and believes he can
win 1t. The democrats are being urged
by ex-senator Eaton, Conkling's friend,
to vote against Robertson. He came
here to help Conkling.
The republican caucus this evening
appointed committee, with Dawes as
chairman, to consider the question of
executive sessions and report back to
the caucus.
Conkling spoke of his having been
held responsible for the continuance of
the dead lock, and said that no had no
objection to the executive sessions. He
said that he was well prepared now to
make his fight against Robertson, and
intimated his confidence of success.
Some Of the presidents friends were
then willing to defer action until they
could once more confer with the presi-
dent; while no decision in favor of
executive sessions was reached, the
republican seem to believe that will be
the outcome.

Washington. April 27.-Mr. Morgan
asked leave to offer a concurrent reso-
tion declaring that the interests of the
people of the United States of America
and the welfare and security of the
Government are SO involved in the sub
ject of the construction of ship canals
or other ways for transporting sea-go-
ing vessels across the isthmus connect
ing North and South America, that the
Government of the United States, with
the frankness which is due all other
people and governments. hereby asserts
that it will insist that its consent is
necessary condition precedent to the
execution of such project, and also as
to the rules and regulations under
which other nations shall participate in
the use Of such canals or other ways,
either in peace or war.
Dawes objected to the resolution, not
so much on account of the sentiments
contained in it as ON account of the
fact that it needed the concurrence of
the House of Representatives.
Morgan modified his resolution, max
ing it United States senate resolu-
tion, and it was referred to the COM
mittee on foreign relations.
Harris moved an executive session,
stating there were three hundred nom-
itions awaiting action. Lost-23 to 23.
Senator Slater left for home.
After some flibustering the senate
and the republicans met in
caucus.

st. Louis, April 27.-The papers
which have been in favor of the street
car strikers are now disposed to favor
the car companies, who have conceded
to most of the demands of the strikers,
while the latter have suddenly begun to
inspire riots, and insist ON controlling
the business of the companies. A
gatling gun with ammunition and
everything necessary to work it, also
ammunition for rifles was brought to
the city in very quiet way this MORN
ing from the United States arsenal, IL
miles down the river, and is now in the
armory of the national guard under
control of Col. Chapman, commanding
the first regiment, ready for any emer-
gency. No cars are running, and no
efforts to run them have been made
to-day. The police authorities have
not yetsucceeded in obtaining all the
special men they want. The police
commissioners are now in session.
The police, and car companies have
elaborated plan to insure the safe
running Of the ears tomorrow. 1t
contemplates plenty of policemen, duly
instructed to use the club freely in
breaking up crowds, and il necessary,
to use bayonet, powder and ball. Three
lines will be started. The strikers to-
day at meeting bitterly denounced the
press for deserting their cause.

WEST VIRGINIA FREEMAN.
Slate Creek.

ED. FREEMAN: The people of
Slate Greek are generally alive to
the interests of cross-ties, and saw
logs; not enough interest is taken
in the cultivation of corn, wheat,
potatoes, &c. Too many of our citi-
zens are engaged in the timber bus
mess, consequently too many have
to buy bread and meat on "tick" in
the winter.
We are glad, however, that there
are no whisk y-shops around here to
draw the minds Of citizens from
their labors; although some of the
young men come from your town
sometimes feeling as if the world
turns over instead of around.
Our people seem to be taking a
greater interest in educational and
religious matters. now than they
have heretofore. Slate is blessed
with a corps of splendid teachers
this winter Miss Odell Mead, from
Davisville, is teaching at the mouth
of the creek, in District No. 3. This
is her first school, and she has, so
far, proved q successful teacher.
Miss Cora Wakefield, from Mariet-
ia, is teaching two miles above in
No. 9 District. We ought to have a
few more just such teachers as
Misses Wakefield and Mead. Mr.. A,
K. Ross is teaching on Mud Lick,
No. 7 District. Miss Jennie Moss,
one of our best teachers, has a
school in Writ county.
Christian denominations are very
numerous in this vicinity. The
Methodist Episcopal have . the best
house of worship in the county out
side of the towns. The Methodist
Protestant and Campbellites have a
house in partnership, about which
they are now having to see who has
the best right to preach in it when
the other don't. The Baptists have
a new house which will be dedica-
ted on the fourth Sabbath [Christ-
mas of this month. The debt on
the church is nearly paid.
Send some of your temperance
speakers up to Slate; we will feed
them well. LA.

Prohibition.

A great deal has been said upon
this very important subject by the
press of West Virginia. The subject
has been discussed both pro and CON
not only by the press, but by nearly
every citizen IN the State.
The principal argument by those
who are opposed to Prohibition is,
that the growth and wealth of the
State will be materially injured by
the passage of such an act, as those
who are in favor of Prohibition wish
passed. Whether this be true or not
we are not prepared to say, nor will
we deny its being true, but will
only ask our intelligent readers to
give the matter a little thought,
and they will see the absurdity Of
it. Again some say that the Legis-
lature has the power to legislate
upon this subject, and make such
stringent laws that no one can sell
liquor.
This is true, but as yet, the Leg
islature has never passed such laws
and it is not likely they ever will
Our laws now are very rigid, but
from some cause they are not or
cannot be enforced. Something
must be done to stop the lawlessness
that is yearly increasing in this
State, and it strikes us that the first
thing to be done would be to stop
the cause.
1t is known fact that nine out
Of ten of all the unlawful depreda-
tions committed are committed by
persons who are intoxicated and it
is evident that to suppress lawless-
ness, the whisky traffic must be
stopped. That prohibition will
not stop the traffic entirely, it is
true, but there is no doubt but it
will have the desired effect.
The majority should always rule,
and if the majority of the citizens
of this State wish a prohibitory law
they should have it. The Legisla-
ture will again be petitioned this
winter, to have this question put
before the people, and we believe it
is their duty, and we hope they
will give the good citizens of West
Virginia an opportunity to ratify
or reject the proposed amendment.

Its the Truth that Hurts.
Temperance Meeting.
w EsToN, Dec. 5.


ED. FREEMAN: You do not want
to take the bread out of you broth
er's mouth, do you? Then do not
ask him to devote more than six
lines to that temperance meeting.
If the Revs. had been a "negro
minstrel troupe" or "Punch and
Judy show" they would have been
greeted with a crowded house, and
plenty Of puffs. "Pearls before
swine"
Lewis is no longer a free county,
nor Weston a free town. They are
living under a king, and he who
does not do that king reverence
dares not do as he would like, A
man whose family is dependent up
on his business for support dares
not lift finger against the king
and his body-guards, even if his
own sons are going to ruin before
his eyes. He need not send written
notices to those ''Land Pirates"
that infest every corner, and be-
No, a man that makes q liv-
ing numbering men, body and soul,
and robbing women and children,
pays no attention to trifes of that
kind. Now, in your short visit to
Weston [ do not suppose you saw
all that was to be seen in town of
1900 inhabitants. You were
not there on Sunday to see
men and boys by the dozen go into
these dens of degradation, under the
immediate eye of that most worthy
Mayor whom the Weston papers
love to puff. l have heard it said
a bad cause needs lots of props.
You did not see the wholesale de-
struction of the youths Of the town,
father and son going to the same
bar.
Strangers coming to town notice
the endless numbers of beer kegs
standing out for signs, when all that
is needed is for the proprietor to
stand in his own door with his
handiwork around him.
Isee some of our citizens are clam
orous for a new cemetery Would
they not better ask for an appro-
priation for an Inebriate Asylum
for the East Side? A cemetery
would not be so badly needed.
