TEXAS JOURNALISM.

In the election OF Prof. Girardesu to
its presidency, the Texas Press asso-
citation performed an act highly cred
table to itself and conferred honor
VI on most polished gentleman and
scholarly writer. The professor not
being present when the election took
place, took the pleasing method OF
speaking through the agency of
the Houston Journal, whose
chief he is, the following "word
of thanks: ut has pleased the gentle.
men of the Texas Press association to
elect the editor Of the Houston Journal
president of their association fer the
ensuing year. As this action took
place In his absence, he feels naturally
deep qualification at this proof OF
the kindly regard and cOnsidera-
ton of the brotherhood of
which he is proud to be member.
Since circumstances did not permit
his acknowledgment personally of
the honor conferred upon him, he
feels that 1t is competent for him, and,
In fact, demanded of him, to eignify,
as he now does, his sense
OF this high mark Of friendship
and confidence. He begs the associa-
tion to accept his thanks and his
assurances that he will do his best 10
forward its interests. And in the way
Of postscript he asks the indulgence Of
the association in rendering his ex-
press ackno wledgmentR to Judged II.
Davis for the courtesy and heightened
spirit exhibited by him in reference
TO the unsought-fOr honor of
the presidency on part of
the writer. The editor of the
Journal would have voted for Judge
Davis had he been present. Writing,
therefore, his best and most cordial
wishes for the personal welfare OF every
| member Of the association, as well "a
for its collective interests, ON this latest
page Of It's history, he turns it over
and is ready for business".

STOCK RAISING.
No Man should Have More Stock thar

the Sheepmen,


RooKPoRr. TEX. Feb Il, 1896.
To the Editor Of The Gnzotte.
The time Is approaching, and very
fast, when the idea Of accommodating
more cattle than can be protected must
cease. To have large tracts OF
land, and more cattle than
can Hnbsist on these lands,
is an extreme OF folly. To have large
herds OF cattle ON these lands, without
one particle OF shelter for the poor
brutes to be expected 10 go through our
winters, without even bush to shell
ter them from the bleak winds and
freezing rains Ia unjust, inhuman and
foolish, and those who In their greed
for wealth practice such inhumsn and
unwise policy should suffer, In order
that they may be taught a profitable
lesson.
A few years back sheep were treated
the same as cattle. In consequences
themortality during winter WAS great.
Take those az present who shelter aud
feed, and compare the mortality. We
Ind great reduction. Sheepmen
have learned that TO be successful thew
must care for their fiocks; shelter
muBr 90 RIrordeG aud feed pro.
vided, and, during such wes;her
as would jeopaTdize their Lives, they
must be fed and sheltered. The SEQUEL
to this attention Is saving in NOR
tality, better wool and an increase in
the weight Of the fleece. This the
sheep have experienced, and
those who have been wise enough 10
follow the policy OF shelteIing and
| feeding have realized the bent fits.
Those who are blind TO this treatment
of their tiocks are losers, and will con-
tinue to be until they embrace the true
policy and system.

AUSTIN, Tax, Feb, 22.--Informs-
ton has been received that the officers
have Yoager and Pitts, the murderers
Of Marshal Gosllng. The latter was
found dead in the corner OF a field
about two hundred yards from wnere
he jumped of the train, apparently
corroborating the tale OF the passenger
who said he shot one Of the prisoners
ms they were running of. Neager tore
the handouts from the dead mans
wristB, the prisoners being manaCled
together, and taking his pistol made
for the mountains. About o'clock
this morning he was run down by
Capt. Joe Smelly and 3 posse. On
showing fight the fire was returned,
and he
RECEIVED TWO WOUNDS,
ono In the neck and the other ia the
leg which II il thought, will prove
fatal. Pitta was buried at New
Braunfels, this evening. Mrs.
Brown, the mother-in-lAw Of Pitts
who was shot Ina the fray, died at New
Braunfpls nj O'Clock this morning.
Rosa Neager, the eighteen year-old
sister OF one Of the prisoners, was shot
In the thigh and Is reported to be
bleeding to death.
II Is nov thought that Manning
who Is at San Antonio, will recover.
10 seems that Neager's sister had the
pistols concealed under her dress and
pulling II up handed one 70 each of
the prisoners. Marphal Gosling,
observed the motion and started TO his
feet. attempting TO draw hia pistol, but
ere his hand inuched 1t, NeRger shot
him and he sRnk back into the seat

women were hurt. A number OF wit.
nesses for the criminals who were
aboard the train were arrested, and

They were carried to San Antonio.

1t WAS from these that the officers
apprehended danger and they antici-
pated Rn attempt 10 rescue, but never
looked for trouble from the prisoners
themselves. Their dispatch to San
Antonio yesterday evening was little
singular, as Pitts was just convicted
yesterday morning and District Attor.

EGYPTIAN AFFAIRS.

The British Victorious In "a skirmish.
LONDON, Feb, 22.-The newspaper
correspondents with Gen. Buffers
force at Abu-Klea telegraph accounts
of q successful skiTmish the 18th inst,
which the London papers magnify
into q British victory. As Lord Wolse-
ley has not sent a report of the affair il
Is probable hat 1t Is regarded by linn
as insignificant The withdrawal of
the SOudanese to Metemneh is attrib-
uted to the want OF water and other
supplies.
GEN. BUTLER IN DANGER.
Dispatches from Korti say IL is eX-
pected that the attack on Gen. Butler
will be renewed. The S0udanese
around Abu-Klea wore I'll Mahdiis
uniform, showing that the contingent
had arrived from Khartoum. Gen.
Butler will be unable TO resume his re-
treat until he obtains additional
means o. transportation. The second
convoy, with camels, which Is taking
GeS. Butler ammunition, left Gakdul
Friday morning.
FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE
sKIRAIIsH.
Another account OF the skirmish
near Abu.Klea on the 18th says that
before the rebels fell back there was
some very active fighting, but 1t was
confined TO the sharp-shooters on both
sides, as the Arabs did not come
near enough to Gen, Buffers In
tTenchmenta to make volley firing
effective. For the same reason and
also on account of the scarcity of ann
munition the machine guns were not
brought into action. The loss of the
British was three killed and twenty
one wounded Gen Wolseley thinks
that Gen, Butler will be able to make
| his way back TO the Gakdul wells
without serious difficulty.
The Lydian Monarch Foundersd.
A telegram from Dublin reports that
the rumor prevails in that city tonight
that the troopship IiydlRn Monarch,
from Khartoum for Suakim, foundered
In st. Georges channel, There Is in.
tense excitement over the report.
Gen. Graham will have 5000 troops
In Suakim by the 9th of March. These
will include the Indian contingent.
