special to the Gazette.
Cleburne, March l3.-A warrant was
sworn out before Judge Ewing last
evening and placed in Sheriff Boyd's
hands for the arrest of Jim Griffith,
on the charge of circulating counter
feits of the standard silver dollar.
Sheriff Boyd already had his man To-
Gated, and waited until night, hoping
to catch him with some of the sutton
him. About eight o'clock he and
Deputy Keith went to the Gayety mu-
sic hall and arrested Griffith, and after
searching locked him up in the county
Jail. They did not, however, find any
of the bogus coin in his possession.
The case was we'll worked up from a
IA single clew, and the officers have no
doubt of the guilt Of the prisoner.
About four days ago Sheriff Boyd re-.
ceived warrant from the sheriff OF
Somervell county for the arrest
of one Mitchell, who had
passed number of couD-
erfeit silver dollars in glenrose and
who it was expected would come TO
Clcburne. Monday IT, u. kellum
had counterfeit of that denomination
passed on him and on Tuesday William
Laske received another, both of these
reporting to the officers. These two
coins agreed exactly in appearance
with "A sample received from gleL-
rose, and the conclusion was obvious
that the same party or his confederate
had Issued them. A description given
by one of the swiudled parties agreed
so well with tue appearance OF griffith
that he was spotted and Identified, and
the papers being gotten out he was ar
rested. He will be tried by the state
courts. The counterfeits are very bad
indeed, being of the crudest workman
ship, evidently cast in plaster mods
The wonder is that even careless
man would be taken in by them.

HOW CLAIMS WILL BE PAID.
Washington, March 13.-sstewart to-
day held Il conference with the conn.
trollers of the treasury concerning the
payment of claims against the govern
ment for rebate on the tobacco tax.
The comptroller stated that there were
more than 5000 claims now pending,
and that about four months would OK.
pire before paying them. The Texas
delegation has received numerous COM
munications from anxious claimants
and other interested persons In the
state, and Comptroller Lawrence was
asked in what manner he would make
payment. He said that he did not
know whether he would remit to the
different revenue collectors in the
state, and authorize them TO pay the
claims in their districts, or whether
payment would be made by drafts.
He said he thought the latter course
would be pursued. The comptroller
further informed Stewart that it was
useless for persons in Texas to employ
agents in Washington to press their
claims, for they could do no possible

BisMARCK's SPEECH

Berlin, March lS.--B.smarck APP
peared in the reichstag to-day and
made a speech of justification of his
course in refusing 10 transmit The
Lasker resolution to the reichstag. He
said he had recognized the good inten-
tons of the American congress, but
was unable to harness himself to the
car of the opposition. Bismarck con-
tinued: az should have RETAINED
from mentioning this matter except
for the manner in which the reichstag
has discussed ii, aud for the charge
of interference made by Herr Richter.
The relations OF Germany with Amer
lea have always been good. The gov
eminent has constantly tried to culti-
vnte them, and ever since there have
been ministerial relations between the
two countries. the feeling has been
satisfactory. After the war with Aus
tria in 1866, and again after the Fran
co-Prussian war, America gave nu-
merous proofs of sympathy, not only
with The prosperity Of the empire but
also with the person of the chancel-

Onr Stock Interests.


Whatever betides, let Texas hang
on to her stock inter, sts. Time was
once when stock was the principal in
terest of the state, and yet there Is n
large part of our territory which would
he practically worthless were il not
for the immense herds of cattle graz
ing over il. Drive out cattle and this
land will be practically non-produc-
ing for the remainder of time. Any
policy which threatens such Il result
cannot but be faulty. Would IL not bu
well Tor the land board TO reverse ac-
ton and let her float at the four cents
minimum for u while? Ii seems TO us
that advancing the minimum 10 eight
cents Is but another case of "killing
the goose which lays the golden egg v
IA half loaf is better than no bread
and cutting your nose oil To spite
your face was ever bad policy, Let
us have four cents rather than moth
ing, aud the tax Of one dollar pr head
comes in quite handy when the cash
balance reaches the minimum itself
| Would it not he wretched policy e
drive away "A source ofrevenue us steady
and as prolific rs as our stock Interests
Texas has had much faulty policy, but
this .of raising the minimum of the
lease price from four to eight cents is
about the worst yet adopted. Gentle
men OF the board, the people will look
at this thing IN very clear light
when the state shuts of entirely the
stream of dollars continually dropping
into the till, from this source.

BEFORE THE HOUSE COMMITTEE.
Washington, March l3.--rhe house
committee on foreign affairs cOnsid-
cred the action of Bismarck upon the
Lasker resolut. ons.
Phelps proposed That n report be
submitted TO the house, declaring in
effect that the wise course OF the sec
retary OF state relieved the house from
the necessity of any further action.
Eaton said the act OF Bismarck was
an insult, and as such should be re-
scented in terms which you'd leave no
doubt of its emphatic disapproval.
\ variety of views, intermediate be-
tween those of Phelps and Eaton, who
represented extremes, were expressed
by other members of the committee.
Suggestions were made that
the words condemning the German
chancellor should he accompanied by
an expression of regard for the Ger
mau nation.
Rice said willie he believed the state
department had left the matter in the
best possible position, yet as the insult
had been directed 10 the house Of rep
resentatives, that body should express
i'm digniiied terms its resentment. The
matter, he thought, should not he left
entirely with the department of state.
Further consideration of the subject
was referred to the subcommittee,
consisting of Curtin, Eaton, Phelps
and Rice.

SENATE.


Washington, March l3.-Harrison,
from the committee on territories, re-
ported ravOiably the bill for the adj
mission of Dakota.
Plumb submitted a joint resolution,
which was referred to the committee
on agriculture, appropriat'ng 80 900,
TO be made Immediately available
under direction of the commissioner
of agriculture. for suppression OF the
foot and mouth disease among cattle
in Kansas. Within a few minutes
after reference, Plumb, from the com
mittee, reported the joint RESOLUTION
tavorably, and asked immediate con-
sideration, but objection being mace,
il went over. Plumb gave notice That
he would call it up tomorrow.
The bill for relief of tliz John
Porter was taken up ana Henderson
addressed the senate in opposition to
il. He understood the claim to be
that on full examination no fault
could be found with the conduct OF
General Porter. He had not examined
until recently the report and proceed,
iup5 of the coult-martial which tried
General Porter. He had read General
Grants paper In the North American
Review, and thai with other reading
Ind aroused in him sympathy
and interest in the case. He
' felt it his duty then TO examine the
matter thoroughly, and he was sorry
to be compelled TO say that . from the
whether this be a case OF judicial re-
View or the exercise of c!emency, he
felt hound to vote mo- on this BIZ.
The bill asked congress to set aside the Il,
verdict OF court'mar.ial to review
and set aside the decision of one OF the
highest tribunals, which is most
dangerous precedent.
