FEyCE.CUTTING ABROAD.
A New York Sun Correspondent on the
Situation i'm Texas.

New York, February 2.-The Sun
has u communication defending the
fence-cutters of Texas. The writer
says by the homestead laws the pubiic
lands were reserved for actual settlers.
They went there under this pledge,
and in time acquired herds of cattle,
did well and encouraged Others 10 foi-
low their example. When it was seen
that the business of raising cattle was
profitable, large capitalists and non
residents, many of them foreigners,
engaged in the business, and sought
out some ranches and brought herds OF
cattle from Texas and elsewhere. They
then set 10 work stretching wire fences
across the country, so as to exclude the
cattle of settlers from grazing on the
lands except in their immediate neigh
borhood. BY this inca they are
driving settlers from the country. III
is called "freezing them out" They
thus wholly defeat the object OF the
homestead law, and prevent the settle
ment of the country. Settlers have
taken their families and made that
country their homes, The country Is
fit for nothing but raising cattle. LII
settlers are deprived of this resource,
they must leave they know this and
believing that the exclusion OF them
from the range is violation OF their
rights, they have in many cases cut
these fences. They cannot contend
with companies unless the govern
ment passes stringent laws to protect
settlers from their entertainments.

row Escape of the Ladies.
Cleveland, o., February 1.-The
Leaders special from Alliance says
the town has been crowded all day
with people from the surrounding
country attracted TO see the wreck
made by the explosion. AT the coro-
ner's inquest, it was developed that
Mr.. Orr kept gasoline in an air
tight galvanized iron tank for his GUS
toners. About a gallon ran out on
the floor. The fluid was wiped up by
Mr.. Orr. and he had turned to other
affairs. IL was the gas generated by
the gasoline which ignited. The tank
ntained not more than half barrel
of the liquid. OF the wounded Chas.
Haden aud John Corey OF l)uprez x
Benedicts ministries are the most
seriously injured. They VIII be taken
to the Sisters of Charity's hospital In
Canton. A circumstance which ex-
cited much comment WAS that the
Woman's Christian Temperance
Union appointed II meeting to be held
in tlie Orr block yesterday afternoon,
but some trifliDg matter prompted
them to postpone II until Saturday.
Had the ladies met as first arranged,
the catastrophe would have been still
more calamit0us. An offensive odor
of burned flesh isstill perceptible about
the wreck, which suggests That all the
bodies have not been recovered, but
nobody is missed. An eye witness
states that when the explosion oc-
cured the entire building seemed
lifted in the air and rent apart, falling
back In cloud OF dust, scarcely one
brick clinging To another.

THE FEDERAL JUDGESHIP.
A Rumor that Hon. VIM. Chambers Has
Captured the Prize.

Galveston, February 1T is cur
rently reported to-day that Hon. WIN,
Chambers of Chambers county has
been appointed United States Judge
for the Eastern district of Texas.
Judge Chambers, replying to a ques-
ton, said he had no Information on
the subject, but intimated that the e
matter would be settled within
a very few days. 1t was ascertalnea
official sources. The belief is it grew
out of letter received here stating
that the choice lay between Hon.
J. Evans and Judge Chambers, ana
that Chairman Binckly, OF the::Hepub-
lcan state committee, had strongly
Endorsed Chambers.
