The Senate Discusses the Bill Briefly
Without Action.
WASHINGTON, April 24.-The Senate to-
day proceeded TO consideration Of the sub
stitute proposed by Mr.. Palmer for the bill
to provide for the establishment Of bureau
of animal industry, to facilitate the exporta-
tion of live stock aud their products, and to
extirpate contagious pleuro-pneumonia and
other diseases among domestic animals
Mr.. Palmer made n long statement and in
trOduced and had read numerous ex-
T. acts from newspapers published in
Long Island and in Westchester county,
New York, New Jersey, and other
States, criticising in severe terms
the manner in which the existing law is
executed, some Of the charges against gov
ernment agents being, as he said, "atro-
cious." The bill went over without action,
and the Senate went into secret session.
After the doors we're reopened the follow
ing bills were taken from the calendar and
passed: Appropriating $500 for light

The Pres dent Doing His Duty With
out Reference to the Soldier Vote.
WASHINGTON, April "a Tho President
to-day vetoed three private pension bills
which originated in the House. Ore was
for the benefit of widow named Quiggle.
or this bill tho President says: at seems to
me that all the reliable testimony in the
case tends to show beyond doub1 that the
soldiers death was not due to any incident
of his mil ltary service. | do not find that
the medical testimony given by his neigh
bors makes a suggestion that il was, and
upon all the facts | am of the opinion that
the pension which has been already allowed
was liberal disposition Of the case. (The
soldiers received n pension for five years.
The beneficiary named in this bill is aged,
and 1t would certainly be qualification TO
grant this relief, but the question is whether
we do well to establish precedent for the
allowance of claims of this character in the
distribution OF the pension funds"
REJECTION SUSTAINED.
Another was for the benefit of a wagon
master whose claim had been rejected 10y
the pension bureau which rejection the
President believes was right and just upon
its merits
In the third case the President says: "The
entire complexion OF this case satisfies me
that this claimant contracted no pension
able disability during his 100 days service"
Three similar bills were returned to the
Honse yesterday disapproved. The ground
of the disapproval of one of them was that
it was an exact duplicate Of bill passed
earlier in the session, which the President
had approved, and by virtue of which the
proposed beneficiary is already on the
pension rolls. The other two bills were
disapproved because the applications had
been rejected by the pension bureau as
wholly without merit, which action the
President believaS IN he inst

ON THE HORNS OF A DILEMMA.

Attorney General Webster Indignantly
repudiated Mr. Gladsto e's insinuations.
and charged Sir Trevelyan, when Chief
Secretary for Ireland, with allowing cumu-
latlve sentences. Amid the derisive laugh
ter Of the Parnsllites, he warmly denied
that the government had interfered with
the Irish magistracy, d be quoted from
Mr.. Balfour's speech at Birmingham to the

Of Mr. c. c. Allen as secretary was wise
one as he thoroughly understands and is
familiar with the duties pertaining to the
important Office. In matters of this kind,
almost everything depends upon the
selection OF the secretary, and the con-
vention is to be congratulated on secur-
ing such sn efficient officer. The next
thing to be done is the raising OF funds,
and that should be done at once.

will be without sword or shield and can

DEEP WATER FOR TEXAS.

The organization of company OF
capitalists for the purpose OF secur-
ing for Texas deep water st Padre Island
is one CT the best items of news recently
sent out. Everybody agrees that Texas
should have frst-clsss port of entry.
The state has long been handicapped in
her race by lack of port facilities. Each
session Of Congress sppropriates few
small sums for the purpose and this
money is scattered here and there at
vsrious points with about as few benefits
resulting as there possibly could be.
Local rivalries and prejudices have here
tofore crested such internal dissension
that the government Of the United States
would do but little. The old idea of
bringing the mountain to Mahomet mas
been followed out persistently year
after year. A dredge boat here
and there, making q crawfish
mark on the various ssndbars or roofing
under the banks of various bayous has
sufficed to give employment to number
of federal officers and spend the annual
appropriations, but the fact remains that
Texas is today, as when Lafltte held do
minion, without 6 seaport. The Padre
Island Company has put Off what was old
and heretofore futile and propose taking
a new line Of seton. It realizes that the
mountain will not come to Mahomet
without vast expenditure of money, and
has therefore decided to sccept the only
Alternative Of going to the mountain,
independent of federal or state assistance,
and it proposes TO build out into the Gull
far enough 80 secure depth of water
sufficient to float the largest sea. going
vessels. There are reports of engineers
favoring this or that section with.
out number, but this COM
pany has selected Padre Island
and proposes to secure deep water there.
1t is high time that some such fort should
be inside. Texas has been sleeping on
her "natural advsntages' long enough,
and should rejoice to see capital and in
teliigence going practically to work in
this ENTERPRISE.

TEXAS PRESS OPINION.

Austin Dispatch: The San Antonio
Times vigorously supports Mr.. Mills for
the United States Senate. Suppose ex-
Governor Ireland should enter the lists
as candidate? VIII the Times still SUP
port Mills?
Limestone New Era: The money that
Texas pays to the surplus fund would
more than overbalarce her pro rata of
the Blair bill appropriation. Would it
not be 6 good idea to stop the surplus by
reduction OF the tariff, keep our money
at home and run our own schools? This
would be eminently Democratic outside
Of constitutional consideration.
Waco Day: The shouters for an extra
session of the Texas Legislature had as
well make up their minds to the newt
able. Governor Ross has no idea of call
ing such a session. There will be sur
plus money in the state treasury before
the year is over, but the Governor be-
lieves the people are not in hurry to
spend it. 1t will keep until next year.
Denton Chronicle: Have all the school
teachers receive their pay from the
United States Treasury, snd make esch
one ex ofiicio justice OF the peace; then
let the government own the telegraph,
making each telegraph operator an ex
officio constable Cor some other office !;
then give both professions big pay, and
let the people foot the bills. There are
glorious times ahead for us!
Bonham Review: There is much twad-
die IN the Texas press at this stage about
the successor OF Coke. C1ke needs no
successor unless the third term ides is
cause for retirement. II the third term
Is sufficient objection to Senator Coke.
where will his equal come from? It is a
bad policy to let go good thing for s
the continuance Of the Senator.
Waco Examiner: Leagues and trusts
now have control of the commerce CT the
country and lot of them are at Wash
ington to fssten their fsngs on the gov.
eminent. The Tobacco League, the Ma

IL the News of yesterday the following
quotation from the New York World was
published:
Bishop Garrett of Texas has been tell
ing the Women's Episcopal Missionary
Society of Washington that they should
quit spending so much money on South
Sea Islanders and send few mission
aries to the Lone Star state. nWe want
pioneers" he says-"men who knoWshow
to take care OF themselves along the
frontiers. Brave, sturdy fellows not
afraid of the open mouth of revolver
nor of the yell Of q drunken cowboy.
Men with muscles of steel, who can, sny
OF them, throw yearliDg steer over q
wire fence as easily as he can jerk a law
less coyote out Of q religious meeting ii
he attempted to make disturbance"
In order to ascertain whether the sbove
extraordinary assertions would go IN
challenged snd stand for the truth, the
News WAS moved, in defense Of Texas, to
make the following comment:
Does Bishop Garrett mean to say that
the frontier Of Texas is given over to
laWlessness? II so, We'll founded objec-
ton will be raised.
The reply Of Bishop Garrett is given
below. Considering his prominence IS
an educator and his influence as leading
pulpit orator of Texas, the News is glad
TO give pla e to his positive denial of tie
statements accredited to him:
