Dillgent inquiry In railroad circles and
among our merchants yesterday ELECTED
the fact that up TO the present time there
had been no effect whatever in this city
from the boycott now going on at Calves
ton against the Mallory line. While this
was the case now, 1t seemed 10 be the
general opinion that the freight brought
on the next Mallory steamer might be nm
loaded, but would not be handled by the
knights of Labor or transferred 10 the
cars of the railroad companies carrying
this freight TO the interior merchants.
None OF our merchants were positive az
to whether they had goods on the steamer
or not, but several said they
had large shipments Of goods bought In
Eastern markets in transit, which should
soon arrive.
None Of the railroad men felt authorized
10 deny or confirm the report that jay
Gould would be u passive ally Of the
knights, In consideration of concessions
to HIS line, but II was thought that this
was improbable.
Mr.. c. Il. Harmon, who came In from
Galveston yesterday and made careful
survey of the situation there, says the
knights are determined, and that he had
1t on good authority that before tonight
the retail merchants Ia every city aud
town IN the state wonld be given notice
10 withdraw their patronage from
certain Galveston merchants, who would
be named. Said Mr. Harmon; "rhe
knights of Labor cannot hope 10 coercc

ing or disappearing Of the boycott from
Fort Worth merchants; they had not, they
said, been called upon TO take any part as
set, and they did not know that they
would be.
One retail honse said, as a matter OF
dollars and cents, they would order theiI
goods by rail or some other steamship
line, but that they did not buy goods IN
Galveston.
Many Retailers said the boycott
could not affect them, as they had no
business connections with Galveston
One heavy house said they would take

Beware Of the rexas Oklahoma Colony

WASHINGTON, Feb. --0n the 25th of
January Representative Mcliea OF Arkan-
sas referred To the commissioner Of the
general land office copy of circular
purpurting to be issued by 'the Texas
Oklahoma Homestead Colony Of Denison,
Tex !" inviting membership in the colony
at fee OF 81 each and promising
to secure homestead on Oklahoma for
the members as soon as the land office
should he established there. Mr.. McRea
requested the committee's opinion us
to when the lands would be opened
20 settlement and as to the benefits TO
accrue to the members OF the alleged
colony. In reply Commissioner Sparks
gives the history of the Oklahoma lands
and states that the question OF opening
these lands to settlement involves q
question of grave import, that
of ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the Indian
Territory, and can be determined
| only by congressional action. He further
| saws: "But nave a very positive opin-
! ion tnat 10 benefit can be derived from a
membership in the alleged colony. II the
| lands were opened for settlement the
agents of the colony could not
! make u settlement location,
| Settlement entries can only
be made by settlers in person, hut as tine
| lands arc not open 10 settlement, the Tor
nation OF an actual organization for the
purpose Of gong into the Oklahoma coun-
| trywould be engaging in an upiawiul
combination AS prospective scheme
the only tangible result that can be per.
! ceiyed Is the obtainment by its alleged
promoters OF 81 from each person who
may be deceived and imposed upon by
said circular. The whole scheme Is I'M
\ doubtedly an imposition, and dangerous
one, because the small sum required foI
membership may induce a large number
