A Bad Boy.

Many OF our citizens may have no
ticed on our streets last evening a pc
culiar specimen of the cowboy. He
was not one of the ordinary kind we
see every day-the stony" variety
but he was one of the wild species
such as seldom make their way this
far Into civilization. He met one of
our most respectable citizens on Pecan
street, and as he came up to him said:
Hello, pard; shaker
81 have never seen you before" re-
marked the man who had thus been
accosted.
Never seen me before?" said the
cowboy. Eyes you have, pard; but
you have got above your old friends.
You don't want to own it."
NO, think not" said the man adj
dressed. "lf | ever knew you have
forgotten you.
Look at me right smart. sharp and
see if you do not know me-"
The man looked, but he did not see
ANYTHING like something he had seen
before.
"No; never saw you before" said
the man.
"Well, see if you know me now"
said the cowboy, and he pulled off his
whiskerS and the man saw face as
familiar us his own.
1t was one of Pinkerton's men, a
detective now in the city in the inter
ests of insurance companies. The de-
teetiye made the friend promise not to
mention the fact that he was in the
city and he promised. He will Won
der how a STATESMAN reporter got
hold of the matter, but a Pinkerton
detective ought to know that a repor-
ter is omnipotent. We can give him
a little advice, never give yourself
away, not even to your best friend,
for you may not know who may over
hear you. A detective ought to know
that without being told.

Terrible Scenes in Cairo.


The condition of Cairo is now said
to be very serious. Disorders have
arisen in consequence of the conflict
between the people and the Gordon.
The project of police grossly insulted
Col, Prescott and showed himself gen.
orally hostile to all sanitary precau-
tions. The project was therefore dis
missed, but the apathy and ignorance
of the officials, from the highest to the
lowest, are, the Alexandria CORES
pendent to the Times says, as DANCE
rOus as open opposition In spite of the
proved usefulness and cruelty of the
cordons, Shern Pasha opposed their
relaxation stoutly, raising the old cry
of refusing responsibility for the con-
sequences, while wasting time at
Alexandria by discussing the Soudan
railway scheme and other projects,
which, however important, are not
urgent. Meanwhile Trustworthy re-
ports from the interior show that the
administrative anarchy is almost be-
yond credence. Every official is trying
to thwart some other and rejoicing at
every calamity the cause of which
he hopes to attribute to his
rival. The MudIr of Mansurah
and possibly ii few others form eXcep-
tons, but from one end of the country
to the other, from Sheriff Pasha down
to the meanest effcndi, both country
and people who have proved them
selves beyond all expectation incapa-
bic of self-government. 1t may safely
be said that the hardships and cruel
ties Of Ismail's despotic thirteen years
did not exceed those of the last -four
months of experimental self-govern-

LABOR investigations.
President Campers, of the Amalga-
mated Association, Before the Com.

NEW YORK, August 19.-The United States
senate subcommittee on labor and education
rss@%ea Ir ITS session on the today s@s
trades and labor unions in this city,
was recalled He claimed that Increased
productions in England, consequent upon i'm
prOvement in machinery, was the direct result
of reduction in hours of labor, and in this coun-
try, when hours of labor were restricted, as in
a case in Massachusetts, where there was ten
hour law governing all textile industries sta
tisIics showed that production was much great
er than in other states where employers could
work their men for any time. He said that a
factory in Massachusetts produced more yards
to the spindle and more cloth to the loom than
Rhode Island or Connecticut. Witness said
that although many of the strikes which has
taken place during recent years had failed,
sometimes from insufficient organization and
sometimes from bad management, he thought
they should not be condemned as injurious to
wOrkingmen, AS general rule they had al
ways redOunded 10 the benefit of the laboring
classes. statistics OF strikes in this country
showed in a majority of cases, that the strikers
have been successful During the last two
years there have been 1G0 strikes, and all were
won or compromised, excepting twenty, which
we're lost or unaccOunted for. Among cigar
makers it was customary to make an cqual-
cation of the funds of each society every
six months The recent telegrapherS' strike
had failed. as the first attempt of all trade
organizations had done, but experience gained
would be useful TO them in a future movement.
Campers deemed that the socialistic ele-
ment had not gained control OF all labor Orgau-
ZatiOnS in this country. 1t might he the case
with few of the smaller ones, but the object
of great unions was only to secure benefits for
their members by mutual combination, and by
legitimate means 10 remedy the existing evil.
He recommended the enforcement of the eight
hour law, and the act to legallZe the incorpor-
alton of trades unions throughout the country.
The investigation will be continued next

GALVESTON.


GALVESTON, August 1s.-The Evening Print
publishes the follows The belief obtains in
this city among some persons who have been
in communication with friends in New Orleans,
that there has been at least one case of yellow
fever in that city within the past few days, al
though there has been no official announcement
of the fact by the Crescent City authorities.
1t is merely rumor or superstition, but it is
strong enough to cause a very marked sent-
ment in favor of quarantining against New Or
leans. The lack of confidence in the board of
health aud the physicians of New Orleans
tends to strengthen the faith in any rumOr of
yellow fever that comes from that city, because
it is alleged that these gentlemen invariably
try to conceal the fact when fever does appear
there.
An Associated Press representative Earned
tonight from a member of the Galveston
board of health that DR.. Fly, president of the
board, was TO telegraph from New Orleans if
he found that the reports had any foundation
DR. Fly did not 90 to New Orleans especially

some one would probably have been sent if DR..
Fly had not been going that way. Nothing has
