but little enthusiasm during the sitting Of
the convention. Fl. c. Gray and Daniel
Ransom both made speeches. Gray said
while Grover Cleveland was only third
class man he would be the hardest man
to beat by the Republicans that the Dem
ocrats could put out, and that there WAS
but one man in America that could defeat
him, and that man WAS James G. Bsine
OF Maire. While the delegates go unin-
structed they sre al Blaine men, with
John Sherman for second choice. The

AUSTIN, TEX, April IS.-The Statesman
this morning published interviews with
twenty. seven members of the Senate OF
the United S stes senatorial race. OF
these twentY-three expressed themselves
as fsvoriDg Coke, two we're for Terrell
first, Coke second; one WAS for ireland
first, Ceke second; and one expressed nc
opinion. OF for y members OF the House,
twenty-seven were for Coke, four for
Terrell, two for Ireland, two for Ross,
two for MsXey. and three expressed no
preference. The GAZETTE representative
has also made large inquiry upon the same
subject with ike result. But among
the ultra -prohibitionists there is 8
strong spirit of antsgonism to Coke that
will not rest until his downfall is secured
or he is placed beyond reach of their en-
venomed shafts. They will work unceAs-
ingly, early and late, in season and out OF
season, to secure majority in the next
Legislature, who will oppose the Brazos
statesman, and woe betide him if he or
his friends fsll asleep
AN ANTI PROHIBITION SCHEME.
A very smooth game is being played by
the heart of oak anti-prohibitionists, and
one that is very likely to succeed. They
are going to make an attempt to pass 8
heart Of oak resolution at the May con-
vention in Fort Worth, thinking that
with the prestige it will give them, they
can then easily get the plank they
want in the platform st the state
convention. These people seem to be
afraid that too many of those who voted
against prohibition will oppose the anti
plank in the stste platform, il left to
themselves, and some propose to cinch
the n%tter BY passing the resolution in
the fist convention.

work will not be resumed for at least two
or three months. The circular says "the
extent of this disaster will be more read

upward of $4,000 paid fortnightly in
miners wages is suddenly stopped ];
thirty intercolonial steamers are thrown
out of employment, and their crews dis
charged; 1000 wharf laborers in Mel

tiOnate number in Sydney, Adelaide and
Newcastle are also out of work; we have
in port 900 tons of shipping that can
not be loaded until the strike is ended,

Barnes Aug. 10th with 1888 tons and

tons. "The cOllieries around Sydney are
now reaping a very rich harvest" says
the circular, " the selling price for best
screened coal there being 27s. Cd. per

prices will further advance, as the out

The Pacific Mail Service.

The New Zealand Legislature, by 40 to
p, carried an amendment to the Pre-
mier's resolution, voting that no subsidy
shall be given to the San Francisco mail
service. As the present contract does
not terminate till November, 1899. this
adverse vote will not stop the service
before that time In the meantime Sir
II. Atkinson, Premier, interprets the
Legislatures decision to mean that the
Government were to call for tenders for
a direct fortnightly service and submit
them next session to the House" The
Auckland Herald says: g During the
recess the Government will be open to
receive offers for the continuance Of
Pacific service either by Vancouver for
conveyance of mails by the Canadian
railways, or by San Francisco. The
Australian Governments, also, if they
value the Pacific service for the facilities
1T gives for communication with the
United States, will come forward with
statements OF what aid they will afford
The whole subject will come up for dis
cusslOn in next session, and it is to be
hoped that in some way such arrange
ments will be possible as will maintain
Pacific service. As it is, the hostages
on letters sent by San Francisco cover
the amount of the subsidy paid, but the
Southern members, and those who are
Interested in the Direct service, are ex-
ceedingly DESTROYS that all the assistance
that can be given by the colony should
be rendered to the Direct steamers, who
carry on the frozen meat trade"

General, Blackjack, of encouraging the
natives on Mataafa's side to fight; II
thev had not done so there would be no
fighting; and, therefore, of the respOn-
sibility for the death of the Englishman.
When Buker and Brandeis were taxed
with it, they denied it in toto. The
Tpresent?1 English Consul and the former
one both heard them say it, and have
given the Captain and Blackjack atfidav-
its to that effect.
The fun has just commenced. Ii the
Germans fire one gun upon Mataata' S
people, believe they (the people, will
burn every German house on the island;
destroy their cocoanut and their bread,
fruit trees, their coffee and cotton, and
run off every herd of cattle. The Ger
mans will find that the play will not be
worth the candle. The strangest part of
it is that Mataafa still allows Tamasese's
police, court officials and judge to exer-
else their functions in Apia.
Tamasese's people are deserving him
nightly. He cannot have more than
600 or 700 left, and | am told that Tama-
sese himself wanted to 60 over to Malta
ala a few DAYS ago, but Buker and Bran
deis would not let him do SO. l thnk
Mataafa must have between $500 or
1000 men following him. All OF the
islands heard from so far are in his favor,
and many lighting men have come up
from Manono and Savii. The people of
Tamasese's own town will not fight for
him, but are remaining neutral. His
own immediate family, [ am told, has
left him.
Our orders to return to Frisco have
come, but we cannot leave until provi-
sions and coal ordered from the Colonies
arrive. The former we expect by steamer
tomorrow or next day, but the latter we
are uncertain of: it may come in week
and then again not for three weeks.
Though Our~Orders are to return without
waiting for relief, | doubt, if affairs
continue in the present unsettled state,
that the Captain will obey his orders /
until a vessel arrives to relieve us
