Special to the Gazette.
AUSTIN, Tx, Jan. 5.-Adjutant-
General King returned to-day from Erath
county, the scene of the coal mine trou-
bles. He says he left all quiet there.
He found the situation unpleasant The
history of the trouble is that the Pacific
Coal Company which succeeded another
company made q schedule of prices that
did not suit the employees, who refused to
work or to allow others to work at the
prices. General King had an interview
with the committee of Knights of
Labor, who offered their services
to keep the peace. He told them the
rangers had been sent there to keep the
peace, that the employees were at liberty
to quit work, but he General King in
tended to see that they should not pre-
vent others from working in their places
General King speaks highly of these new
mines, in which Hunter & Evans of
st. Louis had invested $500 600. He
says the coal is first-class, that the
Texas and Pacific Railway is already I'M
der contract to take 900 tons per day
from these mines.

The Nntire Si1h HORNS.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.--The commits
sioner of agriculture to-day submitted to
congress report by Joseph Newman on
the wild native silk worms of California =.

persons interested in the sugar industry
The delegation consisted of Messrs. John
Diamond, John Zoos, Henry Mccall and
Henry Desmond of Louisiana. Mr.. Des-
mond was the speaker and explained that
the delegation had come TO ask that the
sugar schedule as proposed by the senate
tariff bill be modified, on the ground that
a so per cent. reduction in duty on sugar
would ruin the sugar industry not
only in the tropical cane of Louisiana,
but also on the beet sugar industry of
California and the sorghum industry of
Kansas. The committee at noon took 4

The Terqs Port Resolution.

hSSOSNJtOns
Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The resolution
introduced by Senator Coke yesterday
looking to the appointment of board of
army engineers to make careful exam
nation of the Texas coast IN order to re-
commend the most eligibleS harbor for
permanent deep water port, was the sub
ject of q good deal of discussion before its
terms were finally agreed on. There was
a good deal of talk, not to say wrang-
ling, about the exact verbiage
of the resolution, but at last
all parties interested were satisfied
Colonel John Fl. Traylor of Dallas repre-
scented Arkansas, while the interests of
Galveston were looked after by Colonel
Densen of the Island city. The resolu-
ton as it went through is regarded as
perfectly fair to all sides 1t uses the
word eligibility instead ON accessibility,
the term employed by Colonel Gresham,
which was Objectionable to the friends of
Sabine and Arkansas. The phrase "'safe
deep water port is regarded by some as
favorable to Arkansas. The fairness of
the resolution, however, is beyond ques-
ton, and Congressman Stewart, who
from his position on the river and harbor
committee YIELDS great influence, is re-
garded by all as superior to any
prejudice or narrow local influences, and
perfectly willing to do justice to both
Galveston and Arkansas, though repre-
senting Immediately a competing har-
Dor. The resolution when first discussed
provided that man residing on the
Texas coast should be appointed on the
board, but as no assurances were given
that only impartial men would be Sc
lected, the provision was stricken out.
The fate of this measure is of course
bounN up in the river and harbor bill to
whiclfit will be tackled, and whether it
fail oreTins it is deemed by the clearest
headed men here as the most business
like and practicable movement yet set on
foot for obtaining the chief desideratum
of the Southwest, and Texas in particu~
lar, a safe and spacious port, able to ac-
commodate the best draught vessels of
modern times thereby building up on the
gulf coast one of the greatest maritime
cities of the new world and adding mill
lions annually to the wealth of Texas.

ease. The room at the Windsor will be
thoroughly cleaned and fu-
migated = and Ames' effects

room be taken TO the pesthouse. The
mayor has written to Mayor BroiIes, in

ATE Hls LAST DOC,


Dad Dsvil Goes Afssr Soup and Finds
More Than He Expectods
Quite sensational episode ID high
life occurred recently on the Pine Ridge
Indian reservation, says the Rushvllle
(Neb.) Sun. A young buck, whose
name as translated into cold English is
bad Devil, became tired Of his first love,
the wife of his youth, and cast her OF
for more comely and dusky maiden.
The discarded wife bore her sorrow In
silence nor murmured not, but she
watched her opportunity for revenge
Just the same. 1t came one night when
the brave warriors and the more or less
beautiful women of the tribe we're all
gathered together to indulge in the fes-
tive Omaha and the ver-accompanying
feast Of the dog. The unfaithful hus-
band was there-the bravest of the
brave and the gayest of the guys. He
wore fewer clothes and more paint than
any Of the rest, and also kicked higher
and howled more eexuberantly. In other
words, he was tho bell-wether Of the
bali. But his heartbroken squawi
Where was she? All! she was there,
too. She was camping on his trail.
Just Outside the circle Of happy on
lockers at the weird performance Of the
dancers crouched lonely, dusky figure.
The reader has already guessed. doubt
less, that this was she. 1t was our
heroine. She had in one hand q soup
ladle and in the other-a knife. The
soup ladle doesn't cut much Of figure
in this story. but she had it in her hand
nevertheless. As for the knife, It was
intended to cut considerable Of q figure
in the story as we'll as largo aperture in
the bosom of her faithless husband. The
green-eyed monster had gained full con-
troll Of this wronged Indian woman and
she was laying for her whilom Hege
lord. She was also lying on the grass.
She had marked the spot by which he
must pass on his way to partake Of re-
freshments, and she kept ono eye on her
late husband and the other on the spot.
And she had not long to wait. For,
while Bad Devil was great on the dance,
yet he was not impartial to dog soup,
and very soon after the first ''change"
was over he seated his partner and me-
andered proudly toward the pot Of
steaming remains Of canine. But his
naughty step was destined soon to falter
and his gaudy paint to be badly splat-
tered with his own blood. He never
reached the goal to which he had so
gladly turned his hungry footsteps, for
when he approached the crouching fig
ure heretofore mentioned there was q
dull, sickening thud, and Bad Devils
comrades were called upon to pull out q
knife which had penetrated his ugly
carcass within painful proximity to his
vital organs. Mrs., Bad Devil the first
had been eyenGed.
