cotton market in the United States. 1t

and its enterprislng people never said

why Dallas should not become the

the most important grain market il

THE Houston Journal asks the conun-

in her craw than any other OF her sex?"
and answers it by saying GEORGE
SAND. Pshaw! The woman in Kauf-

IT seems the senate is In earnest In
putting stop to the Oklahoma BOOM

IN kes 1t an oiense to enter for settle

fine and Imprisonment, and authorizes

sons. This is right, and 1t is to be
hoped IL will put an end to the wild

butt in this country out of material
manufactured il the United States. No
man who had noticed the unrest in Eu-
rope could but fear that there was q war
impending which might shake the COM
merce and trade of the civilized
world. If such calamity
should fall upon humanity
this nation SHOULD be prepared To take
her part. If in the providence of God
she should be drawn into the struggle,
he was in favor of building navy
which would be formidable in time Of
war and respected in time of peace, and
equal in character and force to the dig
nlty and power of this great people. The
amendment was adopted.
Mr.. CANNON made the point of order
against the paragraph appropriating
100000 tor the completion of the "New
York; and the point being overruled,
he moved to strike out the paragraph.
To complete this old ship, which mad
been lying in the stocks 10 years, was to
advance backward and authorize a
waste of money.
MIR. HEWITT, of New York, said this
was proposition to complete wooden
ship, when we had 80, for which we h d
no use, and which would be a blessing
if some coal barge would sink to the
bottom of the ocean.
Mr.. COX, OF New York, said it should
not be forgotten that it was some
wooden ship that run down the ITALIA
poosa. Laughter.
| Mr.. RANDALL said the completion Of
the "New York" was recommended by
the secretary of the navy.
"When did he become authority to
this side OF the ?"inquired Hewitt.
"Pd about as soon trust him as trust
you" retorted Mr.. Randall.
MIR. DORS1ElMER thought this item
should be approved and the vessels
should be finished. There was not a
single European power which was not
to day building wooden vessels for ma
val service In the contest between the
target and the gun, the gun had come
out victorious and the future naval
battles are To be fought i'll vessels as
penetrable to shots As those commanded
by the great naval officers at the begin
ming of the century. Tho country would
| find its defense not in the thickness
of its ships armOr, but in the hearts OF
the men in her service.
\ motion to strike out was lost
| Consideration OF the first section of
the bill being concluded, the committee
rose and the house took recess till 10 a.
