san ANTONIO and surrounding Coun-
try have OF late had an abundance, even
a superabundance of rain.
The inclemency of several Sabbaths

The fishing question in Canadian
waters was up for discussion in the SEN

was said, Lively time may be looked
for. The administration is getting it

the San Pedro creek flowing through
the city, and the San Pedro Springs and
park in our suburban limits, are among
the chief attractions of this picturesque
and venerable city.
The amount of revenue desired from
liquor licenses under the new law in
Chicago, was increased from 100000 to
Sl,JOO,OOO year, while the number OF
saloons has decreased from $4,000 to

CONGRESSMAN STEWART being mem
Der Of the Committee on Rivers and
Harbors, no doubt will be liberal and
fairminded enough to try and
secure for Texas, appropriations to i'm

Senate should know whether it was en-

trusts the excursionists will find much
in the city to commend, and that the
pleasant sights and interesting points
will overbalance all other impressions.

making sad havoc among the cattle ant
