AUSTIN.
Satisfaction at the Governors Veto
The Southern Blood Up.


AUSTIN, Ten, April IL The Fort
Worth & Denver City railroad paid It's
quarterly passenger tax to-day.
The Acknowledgement issued orders
to-day granting all military organiza-
lions right to pass armed and equipped
beyond the limits of thestate to attend
the Interstate drill ut Mobile and the
military encampment at New Orleans.
The Greys OF this city will go to Mo-
bile.
The governors veto gives almost
universal satisfaction here and one
prominent citizen was hard to assert
that IL will do more to elevate him to
the United States senate than any act
OF his life, Apropos to this it may
not be amiss to state that private
letter received here from Senator
Maxey says he will be a candidate for
reelection, but that he does not intend.
to take any hand in an undignified
scramble for position. Gov. Ireland
il spoken of for the position and
should he enter the list, it is believed
he will be formidable opponent.
The state printer Is hard at work Oh
the new laws, and they will be ready
for distribution as early as possible.
The action of the Francklyn and
other cattle companies in ordering
Southern cattlemen not to drive or
hold cattle en- route to the Northern
markets In Northwest Texas, aud es-
pecially in Greer county, has stirred
up bad blood In Southwest Texas, aud
IL Is intimated that the land board,
which Is still in existence,
will be urged to enforce
penalties for not leasing against the
above companies so as to compel them
to pay rent or move their stock from
the country. The board will hold a
meeting in few days and possibly
some action will be taken in regard
to the matter.
1t lie also more than probable that
the minimum lease price OF land will
be fixed at five cents for land open TO
competition, the sale system to remain
as IL Is.

WACO.
The Saloon Keepers Pray for the
Adoption Of the Old Sunday Law.

Special.
WACO, Ten, April 16.--The liquor
men Of this city held largely attend
ed meeting at the Garland opera-house
this morning to devise policy to
meet the mayors declaration that he
will hereafter enforce the Sunday
law, as 1t now stands. The saloonists
were very cool and temperate in their
course. They passed resolution de-
claring that whatever the law they
will obey 1t, but they framed petition
to the council to adopt the old Sunday
law, which allows all kind of business
to be carried on between the hours Of
8 a. m. and p. IN. on Sum
days. This petition was circulated
around town this evening, being quite
generally signed by businessmen, and
was presentedto the council tonight.
Up to this hour 1t has not been dis.
posed of. The tactics OF the saloon
men are TO get the old Sunday law II
possible, IL not to obey the present
law and cooperate for its rigid en-
forcement. Ifthis Is done perfect
howl will soon go up, for the law can
be made so odious the people Will de-
mand revision.
At the meeting tonight of the coun.
Gil the tax budget for the ensuing
municipal year was presented. IL
cOntemplates an aggregate tax OF
ST 5Sl on the 500, which Is an in.
crease of the present rate.
No business ofimportance was trans
acted in the federal court to-day, save
that o motion for stay Of judgment
was argued in the case of lobe Iolli'
Golfer, convicted of Illicit retail liquor
dealing. Judge Mccormick took the
motion under advisement
John Slodick, for sending postal

very full and exact description of
: Max well TO the American consul at

have him arrested Immediately on his

waiter In the Southern hotel dining

body at the morgue as that
OF Preller. Application win be

court as soon as the inquest is con-
cluded for special grand jury to in

Jas. Taylo of Louisville, an old and
, Intimate friend of Prellers, arrived
here to-day, and has clearly identi-
fled the body at the Morgue "a that of
his friend. He thinks Maxwell first
became acquainted with Preller
on board of ship be-
tween England and this country,
that he won his friendship and warm
professions and then deliberately
killed him for his money.
There seems no longer to be doubt
that the remains are those OF G..
Arthur Preller, and that he was muir
desed by Maxwell.
