THE citizens oISan Antonio have sub
scribed $4,000 to build railroad from
that city TO Arkansas Pass, and have paid
in $1,000 to secure the charter. Some Of
the wealthy real estate owners sub
scrlbed as much as $4,000. There is as
much wealth in Dallas as in San Anto-
Mo, but the real estate men here think
that if they write seven dollars and a
half after their names they are making
heavy subscription.

main In force until tho first of October.
lIo assumes that Texas cattle are af.
fcctcd with contagious or infectious dis.

upon which 10 predicate such quaran-
tine. The infected cattle shipped to
Chicago had not been In Texas for

otherwise, Of any infected cattle in
Texas, but on the contrary, all reports
go TO show that cattle were never before
so healthy In this State at this season of
the year. The Governor lays himself
open TO the charge Of attempting to ex.
cledc the cattle Of Texas from the
great markets of tho country. In order
that h. may benefit the stockmen OF
Wyoming. The cattlemon of Texas
should NJ once take steps to counteract
tho wrong attempted to be porpctraiod
upon them by this uncallcd for and UNI
warranted acilon by the Governor Of

Gibbons, in a letter dated December 81,

He will preside as apostolic prelate.

appointing Archbishop Lepicer, but
have yielded to the strong representa-,

of one of their own body being desig,
mated. The archbishop reiterates the
statement that no action will be taken
by the holy body in regard to the Irish
question in thu United States, and no
remonstrance will be sent to this coun-
try on that subject. The American
prelates had an hour and a half's con
ference with the pope the day before
the archbishop's letter was written.
