I SILK CULTURE.
Report Of the Assooiasion-The Industry
Rapidly Coming Forward.

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-The report of
the president and treasurer of the Wonaen's
Silk Culture association of the United
States for the past year made to the COM
missioner OF agriculture has been present
ed. The government appropriates for this
association $4,000 annually to foster and
develop the development of the silk grow
ing industry. Mrs. John Lucas, the presi-
dent. says: ITO the intelligent observer
the rapid progress of this industry is i'm
possible. Orchards of mulberry trees or
hedges must be grown to perfection that
will admit liberal picking of leaves before
the first real start can begin TO the
industry. During the past few years
much OF the work has been of
results, inasmuch as the people have been
learning cocoons and tree planting is be-
coming a systematized part Of the effort.
Until this is general no increase in pro-
duct can occur. The United States could
IN very short time raise not only its own
SILK. but very much more, and this accom-
pllshed. at least $50, 000, 900 per annum
would be gained. Yet the protection of
the few raised hue and cry against this
new industry, though there is no reason,
climatic, mechanical or otherwise, why it
couldn't be successfully planted"
The report OF the treasurer, Mrs. II. P.
Taylor, shows that dnring the year nearly
$500 pounds Of cocoons were bought of los
persons in Arkansas, Florida. Georgia,
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky,
Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota Missouri,
Nebraska. New Jersey. New York, North
Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Car
DINA, Virginia and West Virginia. There
were distributed 1855 mulberry trees 20
nineteen states, AS follows: Florida,
Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas. Ken
lucky. Maryland, Massachusetts,, Michi-
gan, Missouri, New York, North Carolina,
Ohio. Oregon, Pennsylva MIA, Texas, Nir-
ginia, West Virginia and Wisconsin.

THE NEBRASKA LEGISLATURE.

LINCOLN, Neb., March 2S-This has been
field day for economy in the Nebraska
senate The combine" of senators took
up the general appropriation bill, and as
each item was read, some senator rose in
his place and proposed reductions until
the whole bill had been gone through
with. In many instances the scaling down
was very material. 1t was noticed that
public institutions located in the counties
of the senators in the combine" did not
suffer much. as the reductions in these
were very trihing. The reductions fSr the
house of the friendless amounted to 81 900;
Norfolk insane hospital, 5000: Hastings,
S2S. 900; feeble minded institute, Sol 900,
and so on down the list. The item fer
$50, 900 for insurance on public buildings is
stricken out entirely, and no insurance is
to be carried. The total reduction aggre-
gated over S300,000. It is claimed this
will seriously injure the efficiency of some
of the charitable institutions; the house is
likely TO concur and leave the RESPONSE
bility with the senate.
Several motions and roll calls were had
in effort to change the result, but the
combine, is all powerful and the report
OF the committee of the whole was adopted.
The house refused to pay the expenses Of
the Omaha contestants; they can foot
their own bills. Bills were passed to in
crease the supreme judges to five and fix
their salaries at $500; to define the
boundaries OF Thurston, Burt and Wayne
counties: to allow one railroad TO aid an
other in constructing connecting line.
A bill to provide for the appointment of
a state printer was indefinitely postponed.
The bill TO provide for state banking law
and for inspectors of banks passed the
house. This bill has already passed the
senate and will become a law when signed
by the governor. 1t is an important meas
ure and will have the effect to dispense
with weak institutions.

q TEXAS | AND slit

WACO. Tex, March 28-Two very i'm
portant suits were filed today in the dis
trict court of McLennan county. These
are styled ID. H. Williams VS.. E. ID. Con-
ger ct al, and d. II. Williams VS. Benjamin
Ish ct al. The TWO cases are virtually the
same cause, except that in the first the de-
PENDANTS are residents of Texas, while in
the second the defendants live in Arkan-
sas. The action is trespass TO try title to
$4,000 acres of land lying west of the
Brazos river in Bosque and McLennan
counties, which was originally decided in
an eleven league grant from the states of
Conhuila and Texas, in 1884, to Mingel
Rabajo, resident Of Monterey. The cause
was commenced in the district court of
McLennan county fifteen years ago, and
from there it WAS shifted to the federal
courts and finally found a hearing in the
supreme court of the United States, which
on April ,, 1888, decided in favor of the
defendants, who are the residents.
1t will now be tried over again,
under The decision of the supreme
court of Texas, permitting a second
suit TO be filed in actions of trespass to try
title which were begun prior to the
adoption of the revised statutes of Texas
IN 1872. The revised statutes did away
with the old law permitting action of tres
pass to try title to De tried twice but the
supreme court of Texas decided that the
new law could have no effect on suits filed
before its adoption.
The land in question is one of the very
finest in central Texas, and includes two
very prosperous young towns, China
Springs and Patrick, and is worth more
than sI,00o,0o0 The defendants. who
are residents and heads of families, are
mentioned TO the number of 31S The
defendants claim title from an agent
of Miguel Rabaio, vino came to Texas
after the establishment OF Texas independ-
ence and exhibitinga power of attorney
from Rabajo sold out the land to parties
here After the death Of Rabaio mis-
widow sold the grant of land to DIR. w. II.
Williams of Sumpter county, Ala, who
is the plaintiff in the cause. The plaintiff
appears to be very anxious for an imme-
date trial. The cases will create a great
deal of friction, as they ieopardize the
title of land held by hundreds of residents
who believe that the decision of the Uuited
States supreme court gave them perfect
titles TO their land.

FOREIGN DRY GOODS,

MANCHESTER, March 2S.-The Guardian,
in its commercial article, says: ''Yester-
days market was fat. Few sellers were
able to do an average Tuesdays business
Producers were very willing TO sell, but
they made little progress. There was a
moderate inquiry for India and China
staples, but generally the parcels offered
or the conditions were not acceptable
There was quiet but steady demand
from the minor foreign markets. The
home trade did an average business. The
demand for export yarns was light,
sellers wanting orders and often
urgently. The tendency of prices was in
favor of buyers. Home manufacturers
purchase cautiously They are mostly
inclined TO limit their orders to current
wants. Cloth is dull. Sellers of India
shirtings show much strength, but some
want orders for delivery in April and May.
The demand for jacconets IS poor. There
are some orders for fair quantities of mulls
in the market, but they are rarely pracu-
cable. There is moderate inquiry for the
higher grades of printing cloths at little
under current rates. There are few sales
Common printing and finishing cloths are
steady, sometimes at hardening prices.
There is a moderate demand for plain
heavy goods at previous rates"

IN TIE HANDS OF IND,ANS.

SPRINGyIEw, Neb., March 2s.-Mrs.
Cannon, the wife of a settler living near
the Dakota line, was in this town yester-
day asking help in rescuing her husband
from the Dakota Indians. Cannon and a
number of other men were captured by
vigilance committee couple of weeks ago
On suspicion of being cattle thieves. The
committee finally released them on their
promises to leave the country at once.
Yesterday three of them. Cannon and two
men named Brancook and Riley, were
taken across the Dakota line by masked
men who delivered them to band of
Sioux. The Indians have been losing
cattle for some time there is little doubt
as to the fate of the three men.

A ROBBER SHOT DEAD.

BLoCKToN. Ala, March 2S.-An attempt
was made to rob the Southern Express
company's Office at this place last night.
About 10 o'clock a man named John War
rem, disguised as a negro, opened the eX-
press Office door. and with a pistol in his
hand called on Agent D. NJ. Huey, Jr., to
surrender. Huey did not do it, and the
man fired at him twice, one ball striking
one of his arms. By this time Huey had
seized his own pistol and fired three shots
at the robber, who was found shortly af-
forwards 100 feet from the Office dead. One
of Huey's bullets had hit him in the
breast and the man had bled to death.

CANDIDATES AND THEIR CHANCE

! WASHINGTON, March 2S.-The marshal
ship of middle Tennessee will likely go to
]. w. Baker, of Nashville, or Carter B.
Harrison, Of Murfreesboro, a brother Of
the president; and the district attorney
ship in the same to w. 7. Ownby, Samuel
| Watson or j. r. Dillon.
In the public printer contest point has
been secured in favor of Captain Meredith.
| The New York candidate, Hart, has with
drawn from the race and the New York
Republicans are giving their support to
Meredith.
When application was made recently on
behalf of Chauncy l. Filley, of Missouri, for
/ the position OF consul general at Liver
pool, it was announced that that place
had been promised to an eastern man. 1t
was said yesterday that it was to be given
to Thomas Sherman, of Maine, who has
for several years occupied comparatively
important position in the state depart
ment. Mr.. Sherman was Mr.. Blaine
private secretary for many years The
Liverpool consulshipi is one of the best Of
the consular offices.
souri,, is the latest candidate mentioned
for commissioner of Indial affairs.
Colonel Holloway, of Indiana, denies
the statement that the president told him
that he could not appoint any more Indi-
anians to office for some time.
The reported difficulty between the post
master general and Senator Quay over the
appointment of a postmaster at Philadel-
phia has 4, been exaggerated considerably.
A gentleman who is familiar with the
case says that Mr. John Field has not
been formally rendered the position by
the postmaster general, although it is well
known that Mr.. Field is Mr.. Wanamaker's
choice.
Senator VOORHEES,, of Indiana, who has
thus far refrained from making call at
the white house, expressed the opinion to-
day that the senate would not adjourn
this week as anticipated. There are
number of important nominations yet to
be made and l would not be surprised if
we are kept at work for week or ten days
yet. The president is going too slowly to
suit partisans, but he is careful man, and
will not take any step until be has
thoroughly considered the consequences
that are likely to ensue."

CHICAGO, March 2S.-General McNulta.
receiver of the Wabash railway, has sent a
telegram to Judge Cooley, chairman OF the

an early ruling as to the legality of paying
commissions on sale of passenger tickets.
General McNulta says western roads con-
tlnue to pay commissions and no meeting
mas been called with view to stopping 1t.
AS result of the telegram Judge Cooley
this afternoon wired Chairman Abbott, Of
the Western States Passenger association,
as follows: What Chicago roads, if any.
still pay commissions on passenger traffic?
If any, see if it is necessary to summon
them here in order TO stop it."
A meeting will probably be called il a
day or two to consider the question.

TEXAS LEGISLATURE.

AUSTIN, Tex, March ga score OF
petitions were presented in the house this
morning protesting against the senate
railroad classification bill, known as the
Lane-Field bill.
| Mr.. Bryan introduced resolution for a
joint committee to report at an early
date a bill providing for a commits
sion to supervise or regulate rail-
roads in this state. and to report
| its acts and conclusions through
the governor. In answer to an inquiry,
Mr.. Bryan stated that the resolution YVES
LOT intended to delay or defeat action on
| the pending bill, but was presented to
meet the possible contingency OF that
measure not passing.
| Mr.. Mills offered an amendment provid-
ing that the committee report at once.
| The resolution and amendment were lost.
The senate bill authorizing Jewish rab-
bis to perform the marriage ceremony
passed
The Lane-Field bill was discussed and
the Dunlap Kincaid substitute thereto
was defeated; ayes 81, nays So.
The Brown substitute for the committee
amendment to the bill was adopted, strik-
Ing out the provision as to the compressed
cotton, so the rates will apply to either
ta9 or compressed cotton.
Mr.. Robinson called up and had passed
the substitute house bill amending the
charter of San Antonio.
The senate railroad bill was resumed,
the pending question being the Klncald
amendment, and Martins subttitute there
for. The substitute was rejected.
Mr.. Stevenson of Parker, referred and
spoke in favor of a substitute which he
offered for the bill. The kincaid amend
ment was rejected and the Stevenson sub
stitute was voted down. This brought the
house back to the senate bill as amended
by the Brown amendment.
Mr.. Frost offered and spoke in favor of
an amendment striking out the clause
that higher classification than that of
January 1889, or the several railroads.
shall be prima facie evidence Of an unjust
classification, etc. This he commended was
impractcable because it was not suscepti-
BILE of proof in the event of an issue in
court, and would not apply to roads going
into operation since January.
Mr.. Brown, of Grayson, argued that the
amendment would defeat the objects of
the bill.
The Frost amendment was lost and the
bill was defeated-ayes, SO; nays. 81. This
is doubtless the end of legislation this
season for the general regulation of rail-
roads The house adjourned till tomor-
row.
In the senate this morning Mr.. Kim
brough introduced a bill TO repeal the
charter of East Dallas and annex that ter
ritory to the City of Dallas.
The judiciary committee reported favor
ably the bill concentrating the terms of the
supreme court at Austin.
Senate bill authorizing suits by next
friend by minors passed.
The occupation tax bill passed.
