Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
Houston, TEX, Jan. 25.-The mys-
ferrous death of G. s. Roesberg, the
quaint old Congress street photographer,
which occurred last Wednesday, has al
ready been mentioned in these dispatches.
He had been living in this city sew
eral years, but at the time of his
death no one had been intimate enough
with him to know where his relatives re-
sided or whether ne had any property
other than what was found in his little
room, where he had died as he had lived,
alone. Sheriff Ellis has interested him
self to find out if the old man had
any relatives living, and if
he possessed any property anywhere,
and his vigilance was rewarded to-day by
finding some letters among the old man >
effects, which throw some light upon the
subject. He found ont that the old man
owned a valuable lot in the western pOr-
ton of the city and that he owned lot
in Berona, Miss, and lastly, that the
quiet old stranger hailed originally from
Indianapolis, Ind, where many of his
relatives now reside. DR.. George F.
Edenbarter, physician of the county
asylum in that city, is HE nephew and
to that gentleman Sheriff Ellis has wired
the death of his relative.

An English Missionary and Sixteen of His
Followers Murdered.
ZANZIBAR, Jan. 25.-An English mis-
slonary named Brooks and sixteen of his
followers were murdered Saturday near
Suadani by members of the coast tribes
and the natives of Zanzibar. These muir
ders indicate the extent of the hatred to
whites the Germans have aroused. Sua-
DAM for many years has been the fighting
point of Europeans, the natives welcom-
ing the missionaries and assisting all of
them, especially the English. The muir
ders have caused a sensation. The ques-
ton as to the measures England will take
to punish the murderers is is eagerly dis
cussed here.

SAMOAN AFFAIRS.
NEGOTIATING For A STEAMER

a
NEW YORK, Jan PA Washington
special to the Herald says it is not I'M
likely that Secretary Whitney will char
ter one of the Pacific Mail steamers in
San Francisco for use in the Samoan
matter, and it is understood that nego-
tIations are now going on between Super
intendent Bullay in New York and the
secretary in regard to securing one of the
largest steamers used in the China trade.
When Secretary Whitney's attention
was called to the above, he read it care
fully and then said: ''No steps to that
end have been taken. -
PRESS COMMENTS.
BERLIN, Jan. 25.-The National lei
tung referring to the action of the sena-
torial committee at Washington on the
Samoan affair says: Measures for the
protection of the autonomy of Samoan
islands are superiuOus because it is not
threatened by any one. The interest of
America consists IN not allowing her
good relations with Germany to be jeop-
ardiZed by few intriguing adventures.
Vessiche Zeitung, criticizing the argu-
ment in the Cologne Gazette of yesterday,
says that it would be mistake to attach
no Importance to the measures taken by
President Cleveland merely because he is
to be shortly succeeded by Mr.. Harrison
It points out that the authority for deal
ing with foreign affairs rests with the
committee of the senate, and warns the
semi official press that it would be un-
wise to try TO appease the German public
with ''fallacious illusions.
ENGLAND DISTRUsTFUL.
LONDON, Jan. % Germany views

question causes distrust in admiralty cir
Giles. Mysterious silence is maintained in
regard to her naval reinforcements. 1t is
stated at the foreign office that America
means business, and that the American
naval officers at Samoa express confidence
in their ability to hold their own.

Special to the Gazette.
GALVESTON, TEX, Jan. 25.-The
withdrawal of the Dallas team from the
Texas base bali league and entering the
Southern league has ratified Galveston
base bali men, and they accuse Dallas
of bad faith. They hold that the Dallas
team cannot successfully sustain itself in
the Southern league, that the jumps are
too great, and the profits, if any, will be
more than exhausted IN transportation
and her severance from the Texas league
debars her from playing with any team
in the Texas league. Dallas secession.
they claim, will require modification of
the schedule agreed upon by the teams
composing the Texas league and the
adoption of one which will require the
teams to be constantly on the move.
They hope Dallas will reconsider and re-
main in the Texas league.

The Anti VaccinatiOnists have not been
quite happy ip their Congress, which has
lust Opehed in Paris in the Sale Erinitage,
Rue de Jessieu. By the way English i'll.
genuity had evidently been called into
reQuisitiOn for the appropriate ornamental
ton OF the place of meeting. On the walls
of the Hall were pictures, one of which
represented II burly British constable
handling a vaccination order or summons
toIamother with a baby i'll her lap, while
behind the woman and child was depicted
the hileous skeleton of Death. The Con-
gress was opened. by DR.. Boens, a Belgian,
who said that one of the first anti-vaccina-
ton apostles in France was Hector CSrnot,
III artillery officer, and q member of the
illustriou s family to. which belonged the
President of the Republic. DR.. Boens,
referring to smallpox, said that it was not
half SO destructive in9its effects as people
supposed, and that, In. order to avoid hav-
ing ones face disfgured by it,, a patient
should have his sick chamber lighted with
candles, which, gave feebler illumination
than gas or lamps. After NJ. Boens' DIS
course som tumult was occasioned by DR..
Grange, a tFrenchman, who uphOlds vacci-
nation. He said that DR.. BOens was not a
fit person to preside over the Congress, as
when he was 'visiting physician" in the
CharlerOi Prison he gave to q magistrate
the letters of a prisoner. Here the auti-
vacci majors rose as one man to defend NJ.
Boens. They accused M. Grange of allow
ing Ii imself to be used as 4 tool by u
Charl erOi editor, who was a personal and
political enemy of Dr.. BOens. NJ. Grange
then left tn Congress, and was followed
by three or four friends. DR.. BOens Ak
planned that he was asked by a prisoner
to take some letters to persons outside the
prison, but, as by the Belgian law a doctor
was not allowed to serve as an intermedl-
airy between prisoners and their friends,
he took the missives and gave them to the
proper officials for despatch to their des-
t~inatiOn. DR.. DeSjardins, of Paris, said
that, as a Frenchman, he exOnerated his
Belgian colleague from the charges OF M.
Grange, 80 the Congress proceeded with
its work, vaccination, 1T is needless to say,
being denounced energetically.
London will before long be able TO de-
clare that it is a more temperate city than
Paris, as the nunber of existing drink
licences in LOndOn nave not been allowed
to increase of late years, whilst the dram
shops of Paris have risen from "a, 1000 i'll
1880 to nearly 10000 i'll the present year.
In thirty years the consumption of alcohol
in France has trebled, and in ten years it
has doubled, the average consumption be-
ing twelve quarts tor each male adult.
The most temperate part of France is the
wine-grOwing districts of the SOuth.-DGlLy

Brain-His Friends Alarmed.

LONDON, Feb. 15.-At the Parnell trial
on cross-examination Mr.. Soames said
that he was not consulted concerning
the publication of the articles on'sParnell-
ism and Crime" These articles were
prepared by a gentleman on The Times
staff, who was assisted by a man named
Flanagan, the son of an Irish Judge.
The witness stated that all seventy-seven
letters had been obtained from Higott,
including letters written by Egan,
O'Kelly and Davitt. He did not know
the precise Mount paid for them. The
witness said he had first paid Secretary
Houston $1,000 and his expenses to
America, and those of his assistants.
Afterwards had paid Houston 81, 500.
He paid Moser so, 900, Kirby $3.50,
Thompson $500. Attorney General
Webster stated that Flanagan had writ
ten to The Times offering his assistance
without the knlowedge of his father.
Mr.. Parnell WIS present at the sitting
of the commission. Mr.. Soames, coun-
sci for The Times, submitted a schedule
of all the signatures of the Irish leader
in his possession. He said Parnell's
writing varied considerably. In one
letter he submitted Mr., Parnell's name
was written six different ways. Richard
Piggott, the man who is charged with
forging the Parnell letters, then took
the stand. He testified that Solicitor
Lewis, of the Parnell COUNSEL, had of
fered him e10, 900 if he would swearthat
he wrote the letters printed in The
Times.

And the South Half to be Admitted
by Proclamation.

The following proceed ngs from y g.
terday's report of the doings OF the
national house OF representatives pertain
to the subject of admission:
The point OF no quorum was raised
and the yeas end nays were ordered, but
rived and the matter was laid away
temporarily to enable the house under
the special order to consider the resolu-
ton %instructinR the house conierees on

should pursue in arriving pt an agree
ment.
By a vote of 144 to 100 the house
tabled she motion to reconsider the vote
by which the conferees OF the territorial
bill was instructed to consent to the ad.
mission of South Dakota by proelams-
tion and without another vote on
division. The remaining instructions
relative to the admission of North d.
kota. Montana and Washington by
proclamation were agreed to without
division and the bill again sent to con.
ference, after the adoption of the pre-
limlnary Instructing clauses by a vote OF
149 to 101.
From this statement il is understood
that the division Of Dakota into two

LONDON, Feb. 15.-The firm of Levi
81 Lewis, solicitors for the Parnellites,
are very indignant over a discovery
which was made yesterday, and which
gives evidence that the government are
doing all in their power to embarrass
Mr.. Parnell and his associates in their
struggle to clear their names from crime
before the special commission. The let
tiers addressed tt these solicitors show,
by their condition when received, that
they have been tempered with in tran
sit. The letters bear marks of having
been opened and resealed, especially
those from the firms agents in Ireland.
The espionage which the government
detectives have exercised over the firms
affairs since they undertook the Par
nellites' business. though excessively
calling, has hitherto been conducted
with such secrecy that open notice could
not be taken of the annoyance: Tam
pering with mail, however, is a serious
~otfense, ard the solicitors propose to
have the affair investigated. The let
tiers will be submitted to the commits
sion aud iu stice demanded.
