An Ancient Texas Town,

The oldest town in Texas and, it is be- ieved in tho United States, is Ysleta, situated on the Rio Grande and near Fl Paso. It has population of 2,5OO souls. The place is one of peculiar interest, alike from its age, people, architecture, agriculture, and general products. It is a well established historical fact that Spanish military ex- plorer named Corando visited the town in 1540 and found it then populous and pros porous civilized Indian community. He was immediately followed by the Francis can friars, who erected church and es- tSbished schools. Ysleta is believed to have been considerable center of popular tion centuries before Corando's visit.

Speakers Who Try to Denouncs the New
 York Governor Kissed by tas Crowd.
 Henry George Adds to the Cproar.
 NEW YORK, Sept. S--A meeting of pro- test against the renomination of Mir. Hill for governor was held at Cooper Union last night, the hall being filed Wheeler H. Peckham presided Among the vice presi- dents were: Oswald Ottendorfsr, Anson Phelps Stokes, Everett F. Wheeler, Louis F, Post, George Haven Putnam, Everett Ingen, Charles Coudert, Montgomery Schuy- Ter and Daniel E. Thompson. Franklin Edson was one of the secretaries. 1'
 MT. Peckham made the first sfsech, de- nouncing Governor Hill for his action re- garding the aqueduot and other actions. The audience was turbulent, aRd the dis turbers frequently raised cheers for Hill, Mir. Peckham became angry, and Ahis made the Hill men bolder. The speak"r finally gave up, and introduced ex-Railr Jsd Com missioner John D. Herman.
 MT. Kernan was more moderate in tone, and got along better, but the audience soon tired of his effort and began to shout for Henry George. Mir. Herman quickly con- cluded his speech and made way for the great single tax advocate, who received a round OI app1AuS6 aS u6 dpp6dTeQ, DUU when he declared his hostility to Governor Hill there was tremendous uproar of mingled cheers and misses, yells and groanA MT. George denounced Governor Hill especially for his veto of the electoral reform bill. The tumult was renewed before MT. George had proceeded far. It was evident that num- Der of people in the hall were there for the purpose of making trouble. Mir. George turned to Inspector Williams and asked if order could not be preserved, but the police made not the slightest effort to check the disturbers.
 Mr. George did the best he. coulsL, and made an eloquent speech in favor of the electoral reform measure which Governor Hill had vetoed.
 When MT. George had finished, Walter Logan tried to say something. but the uproa1 was too great. A series of resolutions con. demning Governor Hill was then read and declared adopted, though the vote was about as noisy on the nay as on the yea side. Tho meeting then adjourned.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. s.-The latest Ha- waiian scandal is the report of the finance committee on the expense of the state funeral of the princess The report shows that tho funeral was taken advantage of to afford an opportunity to fling money broadcast. The total expenditure was about twice what it should have been and the orders were given by King KalaAaua personally. Some of the items were uona fide and some the result of collision. Among the articles ordered for this remarkable funeral were SIS suits of clothes for men and boys, 45s shirts, TAO hats and SST dresse,a and vast quantity of under wear, costing A all $22 900.

Tae President,s Veto sustained.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 8.-Judge Thayer has rendered an important decision In the United States court on the presidents veto powers. Ten years ago an ex-mayor of this city, James Howe, was appointed an Indian agent and his bond was signed by Gerard B. Allen and Col. J. O. Broadhead in the sum of $20,000 Mr. Howe became involved in trouble, and he was sued on his bond and judgment secured by the government for the full amount A bill was then introduced in congress to aid the bondsmen in escaping the S20,D00 liability. It passed both houses, and was submitted to President Cleveland. He held it ten days and then sent it back with out his signature It failed to reach the speakers desk until the eleventh day, and the friends of the measure claimed it was a law. The court holds that it is not law, and that the negligence of some clerk should not deprive the president of his veto.

DISCUSSING THE RETALIATION BILL.
The House Devotes Another Day to the
 Subicct-Argume Pro and Con.

The House Devotes Another Day to the
 subjcct-Argument Pro and Con.
 WASHINGTON, Sept 6-The time of the house was devoted entirely to discussion of the retaliation bill. A vote will be taken on the bill to-day at p. m.
 Mir. Nutting, of New York, criticized the president for not using the power given him eighteen months ago. and stopping Canadian discrimination against American vessels pass ing through Canadian canals. The American government, he said, was to blame for the present difficulties. It had relied upon Eng fish honor, when the history of nations !Showed it was not safe to rely on English promises. He said if the Mills bill became a law England would have accomplished by her diplomacy and influence in this country what she had been unable to accomplish by the sword.
 Mir. Hooker, of Mississippi insisted that the president had not been derelict in not exercising the power conferred on him by the law of 1887.
 Replying to criticisms of Republicans that the president had been pusillanimous in not enforcing the law of 1887, Mr. Hooker said it would have been in very bad taste for the president to enforce that law when he was negotiating a treaty. He insisted that it would be wisdom on the part of congress to invest the president with the power to re- taliate effectively by stopping in transit the goods of the government which has treated our citizens with brutality and wrong.
 Mir. Cannon, of Illinois, read an order signed by the president on March 12, 1SS7- after the passage of the retaliation bill designating San Francisco as a port of entry for goods iii bond, to show that the president did not at that time consider the Atwenty-ninth article abrogated. Now, s&aid MT. Cannon, the president holds that it had been abrogated since 1885.
 Mr. Nelson, of Minnesota, believed that the presideht now has sufficient power tc retaaiabe all that is necessary.
 MT. Seymour, of Michigan, thought the rprsgosed Ssmedy would ieopardiEe the in !tAf9sts of the northwest, and would result sin the pEgHibitionsby Canada of the transit ,df 4mesdean goods through that country THas would benefit the fsherrpen, but would a@amage the northwest and Canada lmutu AS.

 OTTAWA, Sept S.-Since her formation in 1857 the Dominion has expended only S24,- ,665 on her military organization.

Wants to Sue the President for Libe

CHICAGO, Sept S.-A News special from Washington says: Gen. Browne, of Indiana, will introduce curious petition in the house next Monday. The petition prays for power to sue the president for libel, and is the work of Mrs Charlotte Smith, who is championipg the cause of Mary Ann Dougherty, whose pension bill the president vetoed on the ground that she was disreputable charac- ter, having be&n arrested seventeen times Mrs. Dcugherty denies the charge, and has had the facts investigated by Mrs Smith. acting for the Woman's union Mrs. Smith says that she made a personal search of the records of the police court of this city, where these arrests are said to have been made, and found only one instance where Mary Ann Dougherty had been arrested. This was twenty years ago, and she tbinks, therefore, that Ms Douaherty has good case.
