HOW THE TEXANS VOTED.


WASHINGTON, May l2.-The press re-
ports to the effect that all the Texas dele
CATION voted for the river and harbor bill
are incorrect. Colonel Kugore YVES the
only Texas member voting against the
passage OF the bill. He says that its pro-
visions show Partially snd that large
sums are voted to insignia :nnt creeks and
alleged harbors Of no account to the gen.
ersl commercial welfare, but simply in
the interest Of Congressman who hope to
curry favor and secure realization in that
way. That Texas gets so large gum,
about one eighth Of the total, ie largely
due to the untirirg Efforts of Colonel
Stewart.
Judge Hare made an extremely seusi-
BILE though short talk ON the tariff, and
was congratulated by all bis colleagues.
Judge Abbott csn psss the bill giving
Fort Worth building IN three minutes
lime il Speaker Carlisle would only rec
oenizs him for that purpose, q thing he
ras thus fsr steadily refused TO do. II Is
ninted that the Speaker, in his cislike to
the passage Ct bills CT this nature, Is
some what arbitrary in bis methocs, bus
there is no danger Of the bill not pass
ing sooner or lister, and II Grover don't
csll his veto into play the Fort Is solid for
q good posto flee.
