Mayor Hinchman was approached
this morning with the usual custom
of newspaper reporters, Anything
new today"
mo, not as many new things in
Waco as I would like" he answered.
"a good new rain would be very ac-
ceptable. While many new side
walks are being built we want, we
must and we will have many more OF
them soon. The city will commence
soon to place good double rock cross
ings at all of the principal street
crossings, and if the people don't
build their own walks the city will
build and charge them to the pro-
prietors. Now Is the best time in the
world for the people to build their
walks, while the river Is low as they
can get their gravel for the hauling -
"Have you met Professor McGregor,
our new school superintendent; if so
how do you like him." queried the
NhWo IepoIueT.
"Yes sir, l called on the Prof. very
soon after his arrival, and am much
pleased with him. While you and
all Waco know that / was for Waco
teacher, male or female, first, last and
all the time, because think city of
10000 intelligent people with plenty
of competent teachers should select
one among their number for superin-
tendent, and l believe also in promo
motion to encourage our teachers at
nome in all cases where we can in
justice to them and our schools, but
Prof. McGregor got the position hon
orably and fairly by applying for it,
which he had a perfect right to do,
and so far as am concerned indiyid-
ually and as mayor l shall do all l
can to assist and hold up the hands
OF Prof. McGregor, and recommend
all good citizens and teachers of our
city to do the same, and believe thew
will do so. In Prof. McGregor's com.
ing to Waco we have undoubtedly
acquired another . excellent family
among us as residents. Let the words
OF all be welcome to Waco. Good-by

IMPORTANT CASE DECIDED.
Jacob Reese Loses Valuable Patents by til
Decision In n Famous Suit.

jacob Reese Loses Valuable Patents by the
Decision In Famous Suit.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, Oct. LIN the State
Supreme Court to-day Justice Green
handed down an opinion dismissing the
appeal of Jacob Reese, OF Pittsburgh, in
the suit OF the Besscmer Steel Company.
The action was brought by the Besse-
mer Steel Company to compel Reese to
transfer certain patents involving the
basic process in the manufacture OF
steel. There existed between the Bes.
semer Steel Company and Reese con-
tract relations evidenced by four dis.
tinct writings.
The specific controversy between the
two was us to whether Reese was bound
to transfer to the Bessemer Steel Com
pany all inventions, patents and appliCa'
tons for patents in existence on Sep
tember q, 1879, the date OF the principal
contract. The master decided that such
inventions were included in the contract,
but limited them to such Us related only
to the manufacture ofirOn and steel into
rails, ingOts and billets.
The court decredd that all these pat
ents were included and that Mr.. Reese
must assign them to the BcsseMer Steel
Company, for which the latter was to
pay Reese the sum of $4,000. The opin-
ion is sustained. Mr.. Reese desired to
introduce these patents in the South.
The Bessemer Steel Company have no
use for them further than to keep them
from being used by anybody else. Mr..
Reese says that by the decision of the
Supreme Court he looses twenty or thir.
ty valuable patents, the intrinsic value
OF which is worth fifty millions.

neSs-DemOnEtTRtions OF Joy.
AN Francisco, Oct. 1.-The news OF
President Cleveland's approval of the
Chinese exclusion bill was received here
to-day with marked degree of interest.
Large crowds congregated around the
misrepresentation boards and discussed
the situation. The Chinese manifested
considerable excitement.
The principal subject OF discussion
here is as to what effect the measure
will have upon the several thousand
Chinese who have arrived here within
the past year and been landed by the
federal courts upon writs OF habeas cor
pus and are out on bail awaiting exami-
nation; and also upon the two thousand
more Chinese who are nowson their way
to this port.
Collector of the Port Hager expressed
himself to-day as being doubtful OF the
bills effectiveness. "The present bill, !"
he said, sis intended to exclude Chinese.
So was the restriction act. But did the
restriction act exclude them? II the
same principle is applied to this bill as
was applied to the other, ! don't see that
it is going to be any great improvement.
II the courts can continue to land
Chinese on writs OF habeas corpus
and allow them on our soil on bail, that
will abrogate any kind OF restriction at
tempted by Congress. When they are
allowed bail they are in the country and
they then forfeit their bail and remain
here in spite of the hWn
Demonstrations were held in this city
and other places in this State this even
ing to celebrate the passage and approval
OF the bill.

TlIEGRRAr WHEAT EXCITEMENT
Resumcd Yestorday-EnormOus Deal
Many wild Scenes on Change.

ReSumcd YestOriny-EnO Deals
Many wild Scenes on Change.
Chicago, Oct. 1.-The excitement in
Change over the September deal in
wheat ceased on Saturday only to be re-
sumed this morning. Whatth default
ing shorts in September wheat would do
aud what course Hutchinson would pur-
sue were the uppermost thoughts in the
minds OF all. II was learned through
the delivery clerks that about 100000
bushels OF October wheat passed around
on the floor. Over half Of this was cred
tied to Hutchinson. The general belief
is that he was letting off October pretty
freely in order to ease the situation, IT
did not cease. When the opening bell
tapped at 1890 another wild scene en-
sued in the wheat pit The outcome OF
trading was enormous.
The failures OF Frank Clifton & Co.
and S. G. Orr only added to the excite
ment on the floor. 1t was about ii n.
IN. when the news OF the failures became
generally known. At this time the
crowd lost their heads because OF heavy
coverings in December wheat. There
was perfect craze to bug. The ad-
vance for the thirty minutes was
most remarkable, and there is no
telling where it would have ceased
had not Hutchinson eased the market
by liberal selling. The advance in lard
was due to the buying OF the Clifton
shorts, After q temporary bulge the
market again reacted and then started
in on bulge that was even
more sensational than the one
that went before. Wild rumors
went around that some big firm was in
trouble, but there was no one who dared
mention names. Mr.. S. @. Orr says his
liabilities are about $4,000. That his
suspension is due TO failure on the part
OF some OF his customers to respond TO
his calls for margins, and that he will
be able TO resume business in a day or
two.
None OF the members Of the firm Of
Clifton l. Co., were to be seen. From
Clifton's friends on the floor 1t was
learned that he was short about
$4,000 bushels OF September wheat
and that he was also short OF
October lard. 1t was believed
that all OF his losses were to Hutchinson,
though it was also said that he had large
amounts OF money up in the shape OF
margins which could not be made avail
able to apply in his Indebtedness.

TRYING TO GET EVEN

VIcerOy's Retaliation Scheme.

by Shutting out American OLA Chinese
VIceroy's Retaliation Scheme.
New York, Oct. l.-China, or at least
some of the officials OF China, wish to
retaliate for American Chinese restFic-
tion laws by prohibiting the importation
OF American kerosene into China.
Chang Chin Tung, Viceroy of Canton,
has addressed memorial to the En-
peror, in which he arraigns kerosene as
the greatest curse to the peace and pros
perity Of the Empire.
II burned up four hundred houses in
Swatow not long ago, he says, and just
before it destroyed d steamer and cost
eight hundred people their lives Soon
afterward ii burned one thousand
houses in Canton and destroyed $40, ,00O,-
600 worth ofproperty. 1t is responsible,
he says, for nine-tenths OF the fires that
occur every winter in Canton. There
fore the .Viceroy petitions the throne
for aid in his struggles with the foreign
trader who, under the guise Of friend
ship, insists on profiting himself by in
Producing an article highly injurious to
the welfare OF China.
The Viceroy points out that '0here is
no difficulty in putting an end to the
baneful traffic, because the treaty Of 1881
with America makes provisions to limit
Chinese immigration 20 that country on
account OF Chinese labor being Objec-
tionablc, and il they eau prohibit our
going there because Chinese labor is in
furious to their interests, we have an
equal right to prohibit the importation
OF kerosene when it is injurious to us.
The law that nations have u right to
protect their own interests and prevent
injury being done to their people applies
to both countries alike, il there be any
justice, and when either Government
acts on this principle no objection can
be made by the other" The Viceroy
therefore formally requests that Il stop
be instantly put to the importation Of
baleful kerosene.

Grain Brokers Excited - Speculntlons on
Old "HntcIrs" Movement.
NEW YoRK, Oct. l.-Long before trad
ing atthe produce exchange opened this
morning, an excited crowd OF grain bro
kers and dealers got about the pit dis
cussing the situation at Chicago. Curb
price had come thence, showing stead
lily rising market, with Hutchinson con-
tinuing his operations in December
wheat and ahe crowd following. The
operators in the New York market began
to think that Hutchinson would work
the December option for u corner, and
from necessity support the intermediate
options, notwithstanding that he was
Kidding himself OF cash wheat moderate
". The opening on December wheat
was 81 O7al 074, but before ] o'clock il
had gone up to 81 O9l. There was u
slight settling from that rate on later
dealings. A Chicago house which holds
special capital from New York is ru-
mored to be in trouble.

A Labor Convention Captured by Demo-
Gratis Causes Split and Bolt.
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. The latest Dem
ocratic scheme to make it appear that
the laboring men of Indiana are sup
porting Democratic candidates was a
bold attempt to control two conventions
held by representatives of the Labor
party in this city. A gang that had
been previously instructed as to its du-
ties was run into the conventions us
delegates, and when the iew men really
identified with the movement endeav-
Ored to effect an organization they found
that the power OF action had been taken
from them by yintruders. The Demo-
Gratis proposed and elected one OF their
number as chairman. When the nomi-
nation OF candidates was reached they
rushed through resolution indOrsing
the nominees OF the Democratic party.
The labor delegates lett the room, nom
mated their own candidates, and adopt
ed the following resolution:
ReSOired, That the action OF members
OF the Democratic party who this alter
noon and eyening,-per arrangement Of
the leaders, crowded themselves into
the Union Labor conventions, and by
force of numbers cOntTolled'it for 4
time in the interests o; that party, meets
our condemnation and contempt. We
