Special TO the Herald.
GALVESTON, July 27.--Considerable inter-
est has been manifested in the miniature
railroad war here between the Gulf, Colo.
RADIO Il Santa Fe and Texas Mexican over n
certain plot of land known as the city park
now under water, both roads claiming the
ground. 1t will be remembered that this
piece of ground was leased by the city
council TO the Texas Mexican last Juiy for
n period of ninety-nine years as an in
ducement for them to make this n
terminus of the road. When the city
was founded in 1857 this plot was dona-
ted blythe city company to the municipality
of Galveston for the purpose of trans.
ferring il into city park, with direct uu-
derstanding that whenever the city should
attempt to divert it from the purpose for
which it was donated, it should revert
back to the city company. Since that time
no improvements have ever been put upon
it, looking to the foundation OF the park,
and when the lease was made by the munich
pality to the.Texas- Mexican IL then became,
by virtue of violation of the original dona-
tion, the property of the city company,
from whom it was purchased for stipua-
ted price by the Santa Fe. 1t is also
argued that the property could only be re-
stored to the city company on these grounds
by appeal to the courts, and upon this fact
the Texas-Mexican bases its claim. Some
nights since the property was partly en-
closed by the Texas Mexican, and few
nights thereafter a force under Captain
Frank Fox, of the Santa Fe, tore down the
enclosure of the Texas. Mexican and erected
an enclosure and two or three houses therein
in behalf of the Santa Fe. Captain Fox was
arrested and imprisoned upon affidavit o.
Captain Quin, agent of the Texas-Mexican.
Captain Fox has instituted suit for $50, ,00C
damages against the Texas-Mexican. Last
night 1t was expected that the Texas-Mex.
ican would make an attempt to undo the
work of the Santa Fe, and in consequence
thereof the Santa Fe had force OF from
forty to fifty men on the spot to resist any
such attempt, by violence if necessary
The attempt was not made. The matter
Is now in the courts for adjudication. The
whole affair is muddle and has come yer
near resulting seriously Il number of times
The trouble is not yet considered over.

AMERICAN STEAMSHIPS.

Whleh The abandonment Of their Ameri-
can steamship line Ia strongly hinted at.
The Philadelphia Evening Telegraph
says: According to official explanations
The management of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company and that Of the
American Steamship Company, which
are personally as we'll as financially
Identical, have, after ten years of expen-
slVe experience, reached the conclusion
that, under exls.lng circumstance, It is
Impossible for the vessels of the Ameri-
can Steamship Company to compete
with foreign ships and reap profit. But
one hope remail $, to which the Pennsyl-
Vanla Railroad Company is at present
plnnlng lis faith, and that Is that the
pending steamship mail subsidy bill Will
become law" Prominent commercial
men IN Philadelphia are quoted by the
Telegraph as claiming that tie acknow-
ledged failure Of the Americn steam
ship enterprise is due altogether TO what
they term the mistake of the Pennsy /
Vanla Railway Company in granting
exclusive facilities to the American line
aud barring out competion.

Use Short Rorda

The great art In the use OF short words
is use only those that will cit arly present
our ideas TO the minds of other people
The best words for this end a,e short
words, because ali classes of persons
know what they mean and they are cas-
lily kept In mind. The Hon. Horatio Sey-
mour says:
The English of our Bible is good. Now
and then some long words are found,
and they always hurt the verses In which
you hnd them.
Take that which says, 80 ye genera
ton Of vipers, who hath warned yeu TO
nee from the wrath to come?
These is one long word which ought
not 70 be In 1t; namely, "generatlon."-
In the old version the old word "brood"
10 used. Read the verse again with this
term, and you feel its full force. 40 ye
vIper's brood, who hath warned you to
Nee from the wrath to come 2"
Crime sometimes does not look like
crime, when it is set before uI in the
many folds Of long word. When .
man steals and we call it 'defalcatr on, +"
we are at loss to know il it is a blum
der or a crime.
If he does not tell the truth, and we
are told that 1t is a case of "prevarica-
tion," tt takes us some time to know
ju { what we should think Off
No man will ever cheat himself into
wrong doing, nor will he be at loss to
Jnage or Others, If he thinks and speaks
or ~ Is in clear, crisp terms.

WASHINGTON, March 7.---Mr. Ro.
nero has arranged for q conference
with the Secretary Of State on Thus
day and Friday, next with a view to
entering into negotiations for q treaty
Of reciprocity between Mexico and
this Government. Il 10 understood
that Mr.. Romero, within the limits Of
certain instructions, has been accorded
full discretionary power to act for his
Government. For the present. how
ever, he declines TO make public any
thing more than the general character
Of his mission.
In relation 10 the demand OF the
Northern States of Mexico for an ex-
tension Of the ZsnR Libra from the
Gulf OF Mexico TO The Pacific, Mr..
Romero this evening said "The Zona
Libra is an anomalous condition of
things, an outgrowth Of the revolu-
ton. It permits the importation free
Of duty Of goods which ARE for con-
sumption In the Mexican cities upon
the American border. The moment,
however, these goods are taken into
the interior of Mexico they become
subject TO duty. The Zona Libra will
be abolished IN any treaty whIoh may
be entered into between the two
countries"

The great elephant Jumbo was recent
ly purchased from the London ZooloRi-
cal Society by Mr. Barnum for $4,000,
and when the fact became known there
was great indignation on all sides.
Jumbo Is described as being, from the
showman's point of view, an undoubted
prize. He Is but little over twenty years
OF age, and with proper care Is good for
fifty years more OF life. BIOLOGISTS here
in London declare him the largest CAP
tlYs elephant in the world. HIS weight
Of i've tons, which is not uncommon for
an elephant, gives no idea of his real
size, for he 10 net so rotund a. his ASIA
ito fellows, and in truth ls slab-sided,
RAunt, big-boned and tuskless. But hia
huge proportions Offset all defects Of fiR-
nre, and his very uHsightliness adds 10
the impression which he makes on the
beholder. Measured at the shoulder
jun bo stands eleven feet high, while
the largest elephant in the United
States, II Ia said, measurf1 only an inch
more than nine feet. With his trunk
Jumbo can take down biscuit from a
height of twenty-five feet. HIs colossal
legs remind one of the butt OF q great
mast and his trunk half way down seems
~ large IS the body of stout adult.

and large ones some OF them are
