Governor Ross En- Route-A Farmer Mys-
teriously Missing.
Special Telegram to the Statesman.
Waco, Tex, October 15.-Governor
Ross arrived in this city last night and
left for Austin on the south-bOund Mis-
souri, Pacific this evening. The governor
was on his way to the Capital city FROM
Sunset, Tex, where he delivered speech
last Saturday.
On last Saturday morning Mr.. Geo. A.
johnson, who lives about miles east
of this city, came to Waco and sold bale
of cotton he had brought to the city. Not
returning home on Saturday night or
Sunday, his father in-law, Mr.. T. B. More
head, came to this city to-day to ascertain
some information in regard to the mat
ter, and up to late hour tonight no clue
to the missing man has been gained and
the whole affair remains a profound
mystery. The young man has wife and
one little child, and was known to
have been industrious and sober
in his habits. Foul play is
apprehended, as the missing party is said
to have had nearly 800 on his person last
Saturday. The officers here have been
apprised of the occurrence, and dlligent
search for the missing one is being insti-
u'ed.

fed parallel. As against it the pictures
drawn In the report OF the royal commits
sion of the condition of Eogland uuder
free trade, he pointed to the marvellous
growth and prosperity OF the Uuited States
under the protective system.
The house amendment to the senate
JOINT resolution, authorizing the secretary
OF war to protect the Washington aquedrct
tunnel was ooncurred in.
After an executive session the senate
adjourned.
Mr.. Oates, of Alabama, called up his
resolution for final adjournment on the
18th inst. He offered an amendment
fixing the date on the 18th instant.
Mr.. Snowden, of Pennsylvania, moved
to make the date the oath instant.
Mr.. Richardson, of Tennessee, said it
had been the custom to refer such reso.u
tions to the committee on ways and
means,and he moved reference.
Mr.. Oates-"Show me and show the
house the committee on ways and means.
Laughter. II is not here"
Mr.. Richardson-"I see four or five
members of the committee here"
Mr.. Oates -"That is not the committee
Mr.. Richardson-T am certain quo
rum of the committee can be obtain led. p
Mr.. Oates referred to the fact that he
had previously offered an adjournment
resolution, which had been referred t. the
ways and means committee and had never
been reported back.
Mr.. McMillin-T say that when Mr..
Oates offered his first adjournment reso-
luton 1t was the concurrent judgment OF
the democratic members, after
mature elaboration, that the resolution
should not be reported back favorably by
the ways and means committee. There
was not a democratic member or person
of that political faith in the country who
did not say that the action of the ways
and means committee in refusing to re-
port the resolution was wise. Had the
resolution be n passed, congress would have
adj burned before the senate committee
had reported tariff bill, and the house
bill would have been fred at during the
campaign. Now the senate admitted
there should be reduction of 5000, 600
Mr.. Oates thought the gentleman should
make some exceptions. There we're gen
tlemen who thought the action OF the
| committee unwise.
Mr.. Breckenridge, of Kentucky, moved
to postpone the further consideration Of
the resolution until tomorrow, which
motion was agreed to-23 to 81.
In the consideration of the morning
hour, Mr.. Plumb, of Illinois, from the
committee on labor, called up the bill to
settle the accounts of laborers under the
eight hour law.
Mr.. McMillin, of Tennessee, moved TO
adjourn, and on this motion the rePub
licans demanded the yeas and nays, and
succeeded in defeating it--yeas, 27i
nays, 81.
Mr.. o ltes said he had failed in his effort
to get the honse TO adjourn, and he would
now like to adjourn himself. He asked
leave of absence for the remainder OF the
session. This was granted, as was also
similar leave to Mr.. Lanham, of Texas.
The house then, at ITO p. M, adjourned.

Thomas Jefferson to the present, dis
cussed the tariff at length and excoriated
the union labor party and non-psrtisans to
the extreme satisfaction of the democrats
present. Everybody pronunoed the,speech
remarkable, strong and convincing ar
gument, and the democrats are especially
gratified with the evident effect npon
those who are wavering in the democracy
ana disposed to follow the third party
movement.

CHICAGO, October 16.-Muoh surprise
and dissatisfaction were expressed by
cable carmen of the north division when
they reported for duty this morning and
we're informed that the grip cars were
hereafter to be run by new men, hired
during the late strike. The old employees
were allowed to run the grip cars yester-
day, and they supposed they would con-
tinue to do SO. The new grip men are
mostly from Kansas City. By this ar
rangement about 100 old men found them
selves with nothing to do today. The super
intendent in formed them that the new men
would continue to run the grip cars and
that men who were displaced would be
dispersed among the various horse car
lines. The grip cars were guarded by the
police, but no violence was offered to the
new men.

car strike, after duration of nine days

basis honorable to both sides. The ques-

the effect that the removal of the tax on
alcohol used in the arts and sciences
would lead to extensive frauds on the rev.
enue, as it would not be difficult to deme-
thylate the wood alcohol and make it fl
for consumption.
Senator Allison questioned the correct
ness fthe commissioners statement, and
said that the system of using methylated
spirits in arts was allowed in England and
Germany, and that the tetismony In those
countries was that the spirits could be
demethylated only by distillation.
Senator Spooner next addressed the
senate. His speech consisted largely oil
extracts from testimony given before the
boards of trade and other bodies before
the English parliamentary commission to
show that the results of free trade in Its

the ground that the resident physicians
