GALVESTON, Feb. 25.-The clear,
bright sky and balmy air favored the
commencement of the Mardi Gras fes-
Invites. At noon the king of carni-
wal landed at the Central wharf from
the United States cutter, McLane. As
the vessel approached the dock
salvos from the guns on board were
re-echoed by salutes from tho battery
of the Galveston artillery company
ashore, and the booming OF cannon
was swelled by the blowing of whis-
ties, ringing of bells and shouts OF
the people. Carriages containing the
king and his party OF twelve
gaily apparelled attendants were
escorted through the crowded
streets by the washington guards, st.

THE JEANETTE EXPEDITION.
Further Investigations Of Her Loss
Asked For.


ST. PAUL, Feb. 23-The Pioneer
Press prints this morning SIX col
umn interview of DIR. Collins of MIN
neapolis. DR.. Collins Is a brother of
jerome Collins, who lost his life upon
the Jeanette expedition. DIR. Col
Inns has in his possession notes, books
and papers, found upon the person OF
jerome Collins, and upon these he
bases his statement to be
presented to congress asking FUR
Their and more thorough Investigations
of the circumstances attendant on the
loss of the Jeanette. The point of
DR.. Collins is that the jealousy of the
naval officers and civilians caused
continual light and rendered it impos-
slble that the objects of the expedition
could be successfully attained and
finally resulted In the loss of tbs YES
sci, and his brothers and Others lives.
He refers to the hitherto
unpublished contents of Jerome's
note books. These show that belong
was Jealous of Collins and insulted
lIim upon all occasions, made him
lodge and take quarters IN the fore
castle and perform the duties of a
common sailor, instead Of allowing
him to pursue scientific researches, for
which he had been attached to the ex-
petition; that he took away from
Jerome Collins all his instruments,
with which he had especially been
entrusted and did ali In his Power to
render Collins work a failure. That
De Long not only ins1lted him himself
but did nothing to protect him from
the insults of other naval officers. who
! were more than ready to follow De
Longs exa,nanle. The copy of a
letter from jerome Conils =. to De
Long was found on the body of Collins,
recites all these wrongs. and tells of
| insults which belong subjected him
to. In the letter Collins gives belong,
] in very decided manner, TO under
stand that although he (Collins) was
in his (DeLong's) power then, that
there was a future when belong
would be called to account for his
treatment of him and his disregard of
the duties for which Collins had been
attached to the expedition.

Review of the Wool Market.

From Mauger g. Avery's Monthly Wool Cir
cular we extract the following:
The sales of wool since the middle of Janua-
ry have increased considerably in amount, but
the transactions are not indicative of better
business except so far as it shows the disposi-
ton of manufacturers to purchase freely at
low prices,
Fine clothing wool has been in moderate de-
mand, stocks are certainly unusually light,
and the mills have to buy quite freely of foreign
wool to supply the deficiency. XXX feeees are
in such moderate supply that with many they
have almost ceased 10 be an interesting
feature.
Medium clothing woods have met with more
inquiry than for some time past, preference
being given to unwashed, which now ism very
light supply.
The demand for combing is confined mainly
IN quarter-blood and below. The last change
in the tariff having seriously crippled the man
ufacture of medium and fine grades OF worst
eds
The situation is not particularly cheering.
While our industries are adjusting themselves
TO the necessary curtailment of production
ana While value OF labor is in process of ad
1ustment, another tariff bill is attempted to be
forced upon the country before Il effects of
the last one has been fully estimated. Our
representative, returning from England last
spring, met on the steamer four English man
ufaeturers, who were coming to this side with
view of moving their machinery to Canada.
They admitted the superior advantages offered
by the United States, but feared that sudden
i legislation, which would not be possible under
British rue, might at any time ruin their bust
ness il transplarted to this country
Territory woods have been In very good de-
mand; the supply of medium and quarter
| blood has been considerably reduced aud but
| little desirable fine wool remains on the
market
Texas woods have been in fair demand at a
| lower range Of values.

Special Telegram to THE STATESMAN.
BRowNwooD, February 27.-To day
witnessed the burning of the hencoop
stuck to the back of two-story stone
building by our penny wise and pound
foolish commissioners, the first floor
of which was used for the court
room. The upper story was the Odd
elbows hall. The flames were under
good Roadway when discovered, show
ing it had either been well started or
had been burning some time. The
origin Of the fire was clearly the work
of an incendiary, the purpose being
TO destroy the indictments in the dis
triet clerks effiee. Mr.. r. P. Conner,
who was among the first at the fire,
says the window to the clerks office
was up and the scent of kerosene oil
was very perceptible. All of the in
dictments where arrests had been
made were burned, but those where
no arrests had been made were pre-
served in small safe the clerk had
The door of this safe had TO be drilled
open this morning, and now there is
no where to keep the indictments left,
as no one is willing to endanger their
property by keeping them. Mr.. Henry
Ford. county CLERK, took some of the
records of his Office to the Coggin
bank for safe keeping. as it is
feared his Office will be the
next place burned. In addition to the
district court records, the county Ii
brary was also destroyed. The tax
rolls of the sheriff were saved by the
daring efforts of his deputy, Mr.. Nat
Perry. The sheriff saws he had not,
been gone from the court house ex-
ceeding an hour The law Offices of
Messrs. Goodwin 8 Goodwin and
Harris & RogaD, next to the court
house, had to be pulled down in order
to stop the spread of the fire. They
saved their books and furniture, but
they were considerably damaged.
Losses about $500; insured. The Odd
Fellows hall and furniture was total
loss; insUrano only $1,000; loss $4,000.
