Growers association, who has been making
q tour of Texas in the interest of that asso-
citation, returned to-day, He reports great
diversity of opinion regarding the losses
sustained by cattlemen in Texas the past
winter, they being variously placed at from
3 to per cent. The winter was
the most severe ever known in Texas, and
the drifting of cattle was very great. 1t is
estimated fully 30, 900 cattle drifted south
ward and are now in the vicinity of DEVILS
Run and in the Pecos river country. Round
40 parties have already been started for that
section, but owing 10 the poor condion of the
cattle It will require much time aud careful
driving to bring them back Tie closing OF
the old trail north viii compel the owners to
throw much of their surplus stock on the
market this season, which no doubt will de-
press the prices of beef. There is no oues-
ton that the Texas ranges are oyerstocked.
and ranchmen will be obliged to get rid of a
large number Of cows, tEo-year-olds and
even yesrlings TO relieve the burden, and
these wiz have to mainly 20 on the market.
Wyoming and the Northwest will receive
cattle which come there By trail, but not

close this outlet for Texas cattle. Last wear

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-Congressman
Weliborn of Texas is not well pleased with
civil service reform. He wanted a Demo
cratic constituent appointed to a postoffice.
Here is what he says of his interview with
Gen. Villas: ''The postmaster general
looked at me as if I were a pub
lie enemy, and said that only in one
way could any officer be removed who holds
office for fOur-year term, and that is by
filing in due form written charges showing
that he has either mismanaged his position
or else used it in a partisan way. These
statements must be supported by proof"

His application is indorsed by Senator Harris

Gov. Warren, he SAYS, did not wait for his

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, March ia prominent
De ocratic senator said to-day, in speaking
of the policy of the administration, that the
line of policy had been fully considered by
President Cleveland and his cabinet; that
they were in full accord with him in
every particular; and would stand firm
and give his administration their
heartiest support in the event of certain dis
satisfied members of the Democratic party
attempting to drive or force measures upon
him. Reference was made to Mr.. Waiter
sons conditional threat because of the ap-
pointment of Miller for commissioner of in
terual revenue. The Kentuckians feel sore,
but they evidently do not wish to hasten a
rupture. Senator Beck went so far as to
exert himself to get prompt action of the
senate committee in favor of confirmation.
Phil Thompson says he is not a candidate
for any other position. His friends talk
about presenting his name for commissioner
of railroads, but it is not probable that they
will go further than to let the president know
that Mr.. Thompson will accept if the posi-
ton is rendered.

Special to the Globe.
New YORK, March 1S.-Samuel j. Randall
was with Daniel Manning at Greystone on
Saturday before Mr. Cleveland went there
for his famous Sunday conference with the
Democratic sage. Eastern politicians are
recalling this circumstance at the present
time because of the appointment of his fa-
vorite for internal revenue commissioner.
1t is likely to be recalled many times before
the close of the present administration.
More than any man who has since
become member of his cabinet,
more than any statesman with whom he
came in contact at
THE VICTORIA CONFERENCE,
Mr.. Randall impressed the president as
the greatest statesman OF them ALL 1t was
said tonight by gentleman who was init
mately acquainted with the events of that
conference that Mr.. Randall might have been
premier instead of Bayard, if
he would, and that the secretaryship of
the treasury was many times refused by him.
1t is not 10 be wondered that he should
have sufficient influence to impress his views
concerning the internal revenue upon Mr.
Cleveland and secure their partial adoption
by the selection of mis- friend for the COM
missionership. Phil Thompson was handi-
capped by the Davis affair and the support of
the whisky men.
The latter seemed to take it for granted
that the president could not refuse their re-
quest. The entire distilling, wholesaling
and retailing trade rushed to Thompson with
remarkable blindness to the fact that their
support was the certain element that would
destroy Thompson's chances. All the Pres
byterian blood in Mr.. Cleveland's veins
would have revolted at the idea of dictation
from the liquor interest, even If Mr.. Ran
dali had not already impressed upon him the
views that made Thompson's appointment
impossible.
