TEXAS SCHOOL LANDS.
Over Twelve Million Acres stolen in Ten
Years.

GALVESTON, Tex, Sept. 6-The Daily News
some weeks ago charged that nearly s.; ;OOO,-
600 had been lost TO the people ard the
school fund of Texas by the mismanagement
of State land affairs or something worse. In
its issue this morning the News editorially
says on the same subject: "To
show TO what extent the school
fund has been robbed in the last
ten years, some official figures are Submitted
In 1879 the new constitution gave one-half
of the public domain to public schools, be-
sides the alternate sections located by rail-
way scrip. At that time there were already
located for the school fund 1885, 600
acres, and there were $3.50, I29 acres
of vacant unappropriated public
domain, which latter has been
exhausted during the past ten years. The
school fund under the constitutional provi-
sion donating half the public domain to that
fund, ought to have received SO, 100, ,069 acres,
being half the land disposed of in that time,
which, added to the acreage owned by the
school fund in 1875, would make
a grand total OF 45,176,664 acres of school
lands, less the S, ,037, ,S04 acres that have been
sold. Thus the school fund ought now to
have unsold located lands amounting to
81, 1880 acres, but has, in fact, only p,
67s, ,297 acres"
The fund, says the News, has been de-
frau6ed of 12.459, ,j63 acres, worth S25, ,000, ,000

How would ii do, says the News, for the
Grass Commissioners to be put on the trail
of these lost lands?"

piled for a divorce. Sulvin's real name was
Patrick Henry Sullivan, but he changed the
spelling and dropped the Patrick while here,
giving as a reason a distaste for the
family appellation. About o'clock
last night word was received from Ham,
mond, Ind, that Mckinney was there.
A warrant for McKinney's arrest was sworn
cut.ilast night by Mrs. Kosmoeller, the
mother of one of the little girls who is al
legged to have been assaulted. and Captain
Hunt telegraphed to the police ar Hammond
to make the arrest, at the same time he
started for Hammond himself. but at 10
o'clock this morning he had not found his
man. Mckinney is known to be hiding in
the vicinity of Hessville, about three miles
from Hammond, and it is expected he will
be captured during the day.
DIR. Bluthardt made post mortem exam
ination of the body at South Chicago MOrgue
this mOTniug, and found that the man came
to his death by drowning. The windpipe
was full of sand and the lungs were con-
gested. The mark on the back of the head
which was taken Jor bullet wound was due
to an eruption caused by disease.

CHICAGO SOCIALISTS,
The Red Banners Flaunted-A Large Pro
cession and Picnic.

CHICAGO, Sept. 6.-The red banners of
socialism Haunted in Market Square here to-
day PROFESSIONS of men. women, boys and
girls were marching and countermarching.
Each woman had either a crimson feather in
her hat or wore piece of red ribbon pinned
to the bosom of her dress. The men had red
bands about their hats and mo:e of the same
material fastened to their coats The child
rem wore red stockings. The occasion of
picnic, organized in opposition to the Trades
Assembly demonstration tomorrow, be-
cause the latter organization had voted to
taboo the red flag. Speeches to the assem-
bling crowd were made by Messrs Fielden.
Parsons and Spies. A TRADE against capital
was INDUCED in by all the speakers, each
putting much stress upon the assertion that
poverty is closely allied to social degradation.
red flag was presented to the Metal Work
ers' Society. Then the crowd cheered, and
the bands struck up lively air.
Though chilled by a raw wind from
off the lake, and though the sky
threatened rain, the Socialists formed in
line, and set out to walk to Ogden's Grove,
five miles away. Between 5000 and 1000
men and women were i'm line. The previous
advertisements of the affair had estimated
10000 would be the number. All were evil

ticeable feature was the absence of Drum
Majors or indeed any leaders. Neverthe-
less, the procession got through all right.
Along the line of march, however, but little
excitement or curiosity was manifested.
In addition TO the usual socialistic notices
were banners bearing denunciatory legends
against Mayor Harrison and Governor Ogles-
by for their respective parts in the Chicago
street-car strike and the Lemont quarry
troubles. In the neighborhood of Division
and Halstead street swhen two-thirds of the
route had been covered, occurred the first
expression of public enthusiasm. Deafen-
ing cheers greeted the cries against Mayor
Harrison. At the grounds dancing and beer
drinking were continued until late hour.

MANAGER GALLOWAY,
Of the Union Pacific, Makes Statement Re-
garding the Mining Troubles
The White Men Strike Without Amy Griev.
ances-An, Both Chinese and American,
Make Good Wages-United States
Troops ON the Ground.

OMAHA, Neb., Sept. 6.-General Manager
Galloway, of the Union Pacific Railway Conn
pany, was asked this afternoon TO make a
statement of the situation at Rock Springs,
Evanston and other mining camps on the
line of that road regarding the existing
trouble between the white men and Chinese
miners. Mr.. Galloway replied that notice
had been served on the coal-mine contractors
at Rock Springs and Evanston to remove all
Chinese from Evanston by to-day, otherwise
serious trouble would ensue. The
United States Government has sent
troops there, and he assumed
that order would soon be restored.
''In consequence of the difficulty expert
enced," continued Mr.. Galloway, '.in getting
reliable American miners in the territories,
a contract was made some ten years ago un-
der which certain proportion of Chinameni
were engaged" Both classes, he asserted,
are now paid fully 80 per cent. higher wages
than are paid in Eastern mines. At Rock
Springs, where the massacre occurred, the
coal company's returns show that during the
past month there were employed about 500
miners; at Evanston, 300; at Carbon, 800.
All those at Carbon were Americans while
at the other two places they are divided,
two-thirds Chinese and one-third Americans.
Their pay is from seventy-fivecents to 81 per
ton, mined, according to the width of the
veins and difficulties encountered in getting
out the coal. Both classes are paid
at the same rate, and have been
averaging about s. per day to the man for
eight hours work. The Americans being
more industrious and skillsul get out larger
number of tons than the Cinnamon, and
many OF them earn over 500 per month.
This scale has been in force for many years
and was supposed to be satisfactory to the
men. The only advantage claimed by the
coal company in the employment of Chinese
was that it enabled them 10 mine sufficient
quantity of coal to keep the trains moving
when the other men were off on strikes Last
winter all of the men went out by
order of the Southern Colorado Coal
Miners Union, while they admitted
having no grievances of their
own. The MormOns and Chinese will not
join these unions and therefore come under
their ban. The mormOn miners are now
moving their families away. fearing a repeti-
ton of last weeks trouble. Mr.. Galloway
was asked to define the policy of his COM
pany. He replied that inOffensiye employees
of the coal department and some of its
had their property destroyed, and many of
them were foully murdered. They are now
awaiting protection from the Territorial or
Federal authorities, and when they can be
assured of this, we will resume operations.

A MYSTERY CLEARED UP.
The Dead Body Identified as That of III.
SuIvin, of Springfield, Mass.

CHICAGO, Sept. 4.-Further investigation
in the case of the man found dead at Cole
ham, Wednesday, establishes the fact that
the deceased was not Mckinney, the school,
teacher, but was doubtless III. Sulvin, of
Springfield, Mass. Sulvin.was native of

started out in life by his adopted father,
William Hosford, of that town, with $500
He studied for the priesthood year in ST.

ployed for a year afterward in clothing
store in Springfield, when he went 10 Con-
necticut and joined colony of Shakers
He travelled for several months for manu-
facturer of silverware and for the Meridian
Britannia Company. Holyoke became
his residing place at this june
ture. where he retailed periodi-
calls and knicknacks until turned
out. Setting out once more in the world he
driited to Boston, where he got some friendly
Unitarians interested in him, and Rev. DIR.
Chaplin found for him place to labor in the
cause of this church in the West. Friends
here have since heard that he married a
Shaker woman somewhere in the West, and
the last news of him in this place was re-
ceived in letter from a woman who gave
her address as Mrs. II. Sulvin, 1S5 Vine
street, Cincinnati, saying that she had ap-

Pail Mall Gazette, Mrs. Jarrett, Bramwell
Booth, Mrs Coombs, Mr.. Jacques and Nine.
Maurey, the defendants in the so-called alb
duction case, appeared in the Bow street
police court to-day in answer to the charges
against them. Mr.. Stead conducted his own
case, while counsel represented the other.
The excitement in the court room and in
the vicinity has seldom, if ever
been equalled. The police were powerless to
control the mob who had assembled to hear
the preaching Members of the Salvation
Army were arriving all the morning in cabs,
and were hooted and iostlcd on their way to
the Courtroom. In the Court there was a
compact mass OF people. \ number of re-
porters were present; also many members of
the Salvation Army and quite a sprinkling
of brothel keepers. Mrs. Jarrett sat in the
prisoners dock. Mr.. Stead and Bramwel
Booth had seats in front of the dock. Nh.

RACES to which she had been subjected after
she was installed in Nine. Maurey's estab-
lishment and i'll treatment she had received
from the time she left her mother until she
was rescued and taken home. Mrs. Jarrett,
during Mr.. Poland's statement. sat with
calm demeanOr, her eyes closed and her
head nOdding, closely resembling Charles
Dickens 'Sally Brass in the "Old Curiosity
Shop" Mr. Stead appeared unconcerned,
smiling occasionally and at times denying
Mr.. Poland's allegations. At the conclusion
of his address to the court, Mr.. Poland de-
manded the committa of all the
defendants for trial. The child,
Eliza Armstrong, was placed on
the witness stand and identified Mrs. Garret
as the woman VINO had secured her from her
mother on plea of needing her assistance to
DO housework. The girl then gave in detail
all the circumstances connected with her
abduction. Eliza Armstrong further testi-
fled that at the medical examination imme-
diately after she was decoyed from home,
the physician tested her innocence despite
her screams, and that afterward she
was dispatched 10 France to prevent
the police from getting possession of
her for her mother she wrote
several letters home, but the members OF the
Salvation Army who had charge of her sup
pressed them. This ended the girls testi-
mOny foI the day. The defendants indicated
that they would contest the accuracy of many
of the girls statements. The court then adj
journed until tomorrow.
The mob at the doors of the court tried to
overturn Booths carriage, and molested
other members of the Salvation Army.
The defendants were all released on bail.
Mr.. Stead and Mrs. Jarrett were Missed by the
crowd as they were leaving the court.

ImbrogliO Between Spain and Germany.
MADRID, Sept, 7.-Dispatches just received
regarding the German occupation of Zap
state that the Spaniards on the island had
holsted the Spanish flag, and had lowered it
at sunset for the night, as is customary with
all nationalities, and that Immediately after
ward the German gunboat ran in, landed
marines and sailors, hOisted the German col
ors, and formally occupied the place despite
the protestations of the Spaniards. Prince
Bismarck has offered to withdraw the German
forces from Zap, provided Spain will not oc-
cupy il pending a diplomatic solution of the
question as TO Spain's claim over the island.
Germany will acknowledge Spanish occupa-
tion of zap, provided Spain proves that the
Spanish flag had been hoisted on the island
before tie German gunboat had arrived in
the harbor.
The excitement in Madrid over the affair
has quieted down. Everything was tranquil
last night.
Count Won Hatzfeldt, in his statement
to Count Binoman regarding the or
ders that had been given to the
German gunboat, meant that the
gunboat had been forbidden TO hoist the Ger
man flag where the Spanish flag had already
been hoisted. He said that the disobedience
of the commander of the gunboat would not
affect the situation.
BERLIN, Sept. THE Kreul Zeitung says
that Germany on obtaining reparation from
Spain refrains from adding TO the toubles of
a friendly sovereign. The Kreuz Zeitung is
confident that Prince Bisinarcks seasoned
judgment and firm hand will conduce TO a
settlement of the dispute. Other newspapers
praise the calmness displayed by the citizens
of Berlin.

out in the yard seemingly on good terms.
Gately, it was alleged, incurred the enmity
of the Fenians by disclosing some of their
secrets, and the prosecution endeavored to
show that price was put upon his head,
and that Duff was detailed to kill him. The
prisoners solicitor complained to the court
of the alleged unfairneSs of the examination,
stating he had not been allowed to see his
client, and that the object of the Crown APP
peared to him as a determined effort to
hang Duff if possible merely because he was
an Irishman. In conclusion he said that
the prosecution of Duff was farce, and no
wonder Irishmen do their utmost TO frus-
trate the designs of England. Duff was COM
mitted for trial.

which caused an explosion of three stills.
The overfowing and flaming oil emptied in

$50, 600 to $4,000.
