AUSTIN CORRESPONDENCE.
A Delayed Letter--The Situation at
the Capitol--The Drill
Outlook.
AUSTIN, May IA.


Daily LIGHT:
Your correspondent arrived on the in
terstste drill grounds about noon, hav-
ing passed through two rain storms and
another coming which, fortunately, was
not very heavy, still the water was
standing In pools in many places so that
1t was difficult to keep out OF the mud.
The weather has cleared this afternoon
and is as bright as can be. Today the
Texas state infantry companies drill.
This morning the Victoria Rifles, Seely
Rifles and Panther City FenOibles were
put through their PAGES, and the Leo
Guards, Terrell Rifles and johnson
Guards withdrew from the contest.
The Bowie Guards did not appear at
the hour called on, and SO are out OF the
contest.
The Austin Greys, the Wash
ington Guards and the Dali
las Rifles drilled this afternoon,
Of which the Austin Greys put up by far
the best drill Of those companies which
we saw.
This evening grand pyrotechnio dis
play will OCCUR. The weather is beau
tiful, not cloud in the sky and all ap-
pearances give hopes OF fine day to-
morrow.
The afternoon work wound up with
brigade dress parade, two or three faux
pas occurred. One of the most notioa-
BILE was that of all the officers of the 9th
regiment. Only the first captain salut-
ed in passing In review.
We were much pleased with the ar
rangements at the m ess hall under the
direction of MIR. Peter Loiselle and for
the oourtship extended to the LIGHT,
we are much obliged.
The programme for tomorrow EN-.
braces the drill of the "Texas maidens,"
lie. those Texas companies who have
never entered in comdetitive drill, and
the usual dress parade. There seems to
be some question as to whether the San
Antonio boys will drill tomorrow or
Wednesday. The inspection will take
place tomorrow morniIg. Il.

Senator RiddIeberger. of Virginia,

night on his return from the Repub-

quotes him as saying of the work of
the Chicago convention: 90 am not
well pleased with the nominations. L
speak especially of Mr.. Morton. Per-
sonally like the man well enough,
but it was a great mistake to put him
on the ticket. He is immensely rich
and will he caricatured from one end
of the country to the other as 4 big
money barrel. That will hurt the
ticket. Harrison was by no means
my choice.''

Mr.. Lows detection. it was said by

In an article headed "What Are
We Going to Do About II? ?'' the New
York Commercial AdUerttser, (Rep., }
discussing the Republican platform,
says:
What are we-the people of the
United States-going to do about it?
We will tell you plainly, gentleman
monopoltsts, who desire to tax us for
your enrichment and 10 make of your
selves our aristocratic rulers, we are
going to enforce the American idea,
which all great parties in this country
have hitherto respected, and to which
only cranks, anarchists and COM
munists have ventured to oppose
themselves. We arc going to stand
by the American doctrines of individ-
ual liberty, personal equality of right,
the economical administration of a
government that confines itself to the
immediate purposes OF government,
and the right of the people to be re-
lieved of taxation when the govern
ment has no legitimate need for the
proceeds of taxation. We are going
to oppose your schemes to tax US for
your benefit. We are going to con-
test your right to make use of our
government for our oppression and
your advantage.

beg your majesty to accept this humble
expression of our heartfelt sympathy.
We admire the strength of mind
which guided by a sense Of duty over

A Furniture Factory Burns With Loss OF
a Hundred Thousand.
New YORK, March 16.-Cooghan Bros
furniture store, corner Grand and Bow
cry, caught fire at half-past this morn
ing and inside Of three minutes the en-
tire premises were in blaze. At half
past 9 it seemed certain that the sur
rounding buildings would also be de-
stroyed. The loss will be very
large The Bowery and Grand Streets
are blocked with snow and it was
almost impossible for the engines to
reach the scene of the fire. Notwith-
standing the difficulties, the fire was
drowned out and confined to the build
ing in which it started, although the
damage to the surrounding buildings
will be considerable. The total loss is
less than 100000.

Awful Result of the Yellow River Floods
i'll China.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 1.-THE steamer
Oceanic arrived from Hong Kong and
Yokohama this morning. The China
papers confirm the reports of a dis
astrous earthquake in the provinces
of Yunnan and Syechuen, but give
few additional details. Several cities
were destroyed and about 10000 lives
we're lost.
Later reports from the scene of the
Yellow River floods, several months ago.
place the number of lives lost by the in
undation at between ii million and a
half and two millions.
TThe second disaster at Yellow River,
China, occurred December 4. The
worklnen were at work at the time
repairing the damage caused by the
previous floods and 1000 bamboo RATS
had been laden with stones in order to
form breakwater. The RATS with all
the wcrkmen upon chem were engulfed
as soon as they reached the middle of
the river, and the Yellow River Valley
inundated for hundreds Of miles.
