HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,,

WASHINGTON, D. G., Feb. IL, 1883.
Dear Sir-Yours of the 7th instant has
Just been received. 1t is my conviction,
founded upon knowledge of all the cir
cumstances of the case, and from what
the commanding general of the army has
said and written about the matter, that it
would be utterly impossible to induce the
government to re-establish a military post
at Austin, or to obtain an appropriation
therefor. SENATOR Coke will speak for
himself. Sincerely yours,
JOSEPH d. SAYER3.
Hon. A. p. WOODBRIDGE, Austin, Texas.
have read what Major Sayers has said
in this letter, and concur fully in all of it.
Personal interviews with General Sheri-
dan and the secretary of war convince
me of it's correctness. RICHARD COKE.

ness, and their fluctuations were quite small,
and later in the day New England became a
strong feature, being taken freely by Boston
presumably on account OF the approaching cleo
ton, and its highest figure was reached toward
the close. London also became buyer later,
and this served to renew the courage of bulls,
who too9 hold with more vim, and reduced
losses materially in the last hour. The
Northern Pacific group were prominent at that
time for the strength displayed also, and the
entire list followed. Total sales 397, 900 shares:

skeleton, photographed as found,
shows that the man was caught
under the falling roof and thrown upon
his face. His chest is pushed forward
by the weight, and his night hand,
stretched out as he fell, is crushed and
flattened. The large number OF bodies
found proves that the calamity was wide
spread and complete. In one OF the
sacfificial caves lies skeleton that elo-
queutly tells the story of the earthquake
and the terrors OF the Inhabitants. 1t is
that OF maiden sacrificed, as the vessels
and offerings on the altar show to
the ethnologist, to appease the wrath
of the earthquake demon. There had
been several shocks, of greater or less
severity. and the people had offered up
ordinary sacrifices in vain. AT last the
priests went up TO the sacrificial cave
and made the supreme offering OF
maiden of the tribe. The people re-
turned to their homes assured that the
danger had been averted. Then came
the great shock. Walls fell aud roofs
crashed. Those who were not caught III
the ruins fed in terror to the fields.
They saw their cities overthrow
and their fields laid waste. The gods
had abandoned them to the malignant
