RETURNED FROM NEW YORK.
What San Antonio Merchant Says
of the Situation.

What San Antonio Merchant Says
of the Situation.
Mr.. Albert Joske, of the well known
Joske Bros, dry goods house OF this
city. returned yesterday from sew
eral weeks business sojourn in New
York, looking remarkably well and
spirited. He was seen by the LIGHT
this morning while taking his news
paper and chop at a popular Com
merce street restaurant, and asked
concerning the outlook in New York.
In view of the reduction of the usual
bank surplus, and reports of money
stringency consequent thereon, the
LIGHT was DESTROYS of securing some
data for its readers. Mr.. Joske re-
ports money easy in New York and
readily obtained at from 8 1-2 to l 2
per cent for all home purposes. He
says that the low volume of the re-
serve in the New York banks is owing
to the sending of money west to move
the grain crops and to the heavy in
vestments in southern and south
western enterprises, but that this has
caused no perceptible stringency in
the money circles of New York. All
the money necessary for nome de-
mand-and there is large demand in
New York, for enterprises of all kinds
are engaging the attention of capital
all money for this is readily obtain
able at about 4 per cent, the ruling
price with the trust and loan compa-
MES being 1 1-2 per cent. On New
York real estate security loans are
never effected above the latter figure.
AS to the outlook for business, Mr..
Joske reports a good future, and gen.
eral expectation of enlarged transac-
tions. The feeling is buoyantan the
outlook bright.
Business in the new developing re-
giOns of Tennessee and Alabama was
booming, he said, but San Antonio
was the theme OF general converse
ton. He heard more about San Anto-
Mo and its great future than of any
other place. 1t was regarded as q
veritable Eldorado and Mr.. Joske was
Of opinion that the coming year would
find many prospectors for investment
visiting our city.

Mexican Concessions to Negroes.
ST. LOUIS, October 1.-Advices
from Mexico say, the bill to grant
concessions to Henry C. Ferguson
and VIM. H. Ellis, two colored men
from Texas, who propose to colonize
lands in the states of Oataca, Guer-
zero, Vera Cruz, Michsacan and San
Luis Potosi, with negroes from Texas
and other American states, has
passed the lower house of congress
with but one dissenting vote and has
gone to the senate. 1t is believed
the bill will pass, and be signed by
President Diaz. Ferguson and Ellis
expect that 20, 900 negroes from Texas
alone, will move to Mexico and raise
cotton ON these lands and that many
thousands of industrious blacks,
skilled in the cultivation OF cotton
will follow them from the states east
of the Mississippi river.
A double murder was committed
in the City Of Mexico last night; a
man and woman of the lower class
1uarreled. The man struck at
the woman with a knife, but in
stead of hitting her, plunged his
in the body of the child she
was carrying, killing it instantly. The
woman then closed with the man,
the bloody knife from him
and drove It through his heart, he
sinking to the ground corpse. The
woman was arrested.

A prominent dry goods man asks the
LIGHT how many of San Antonio's
merchants and business men have

largement of buildings and first come

WASHINGTON, Aug p The news brought
20 Victoria by Capt Alger, Of the sealer
Allie Alger, had the effect of creating an
unusual amount Of interest among the few
officials Of the state and treasury depart
nlents who remain in the city Acting Sec
rotary Batcheller was much interested in the
reading of the dispatch, and when it WIS

Gen. Batcheller, when questioned as 70 the
action of the commander of the Rush IN
placing but one man aboard the seized ves-
sels as a prize crew. said that the Rush had
only enough men to navigate her. Her COM
mander could not afford 20 spare more than
one man for each vessel, or, Gen. Batcheller
added, he would probably have done 20.

SAMMY ROGERS.
The Man who Liked to say DIsagreeabl
Things.


When Fenimore Cooper spoke 70 Rogers
of a work of Washington lrvings,. OF
which he hoped or expected to hear
Rogers speak in praise, all Rogers said
was, in his dry, caustic way, II IS a long
book" "And that, said cooper, is
short criticism" Il was, however, a
great deal more than that. II expressed
nitbilv that the book was not good
enough for its length. 1t was Rogerss
sneer but IL was true, and in the major
ity Of cases we fancy that Rogers con
deused into these pithy utterances un-
pleasant truths which ii is well some one
told. and which most OF us shirk telling.
Rogers personal appearance at once
challenged attention. Charles tells us Of
snow, of his large blue eyes, cruel, sor-
rowful, and Of his sardonic shelf
chin. When such a one added look
OF scorn and emitted bitter jest, Dioge-
nes seems revived for our contemplation.
He appears to us at distance as pas.
sionless man, with an unpleasing superb
ority of certain sort over more impulsive
natures. Not a man that exeites the
slightest approach to hero worship OF q
desire TO initiate him. "His God

never could lash myself into feel
ing Of affection or admiration for him,
says Lady Dufferin in letter TO Mr.
Hayward, and then she continues: ITO
tell the truth there was certain unreal
ity In him which repelled me. have
heard him say many graceful things, but
few kind ones, and he never seemed TO
me thoroughly in earnest save
In expressing contempt or dislike Z
Mrs. Norton considered that his tastes
preponderated over his passions. She
adds, he betrayed the expenses of his
tastes as other men make outlay for the
qualification Of their passions" and con
tinues: "All within limit of reason, he
did not squander more than won the
affection Of his seraglio. the Nine Muses.,
nor bet upon Pegasus. He did
nothing rash. am sure Rogers, as a
baby, never fell down unless he was
pushed" Rogers possessed abundance OF
cold wit Of the head, but no humor OF
head and heart. he was not apparently
man who demanded or gave sympathy
He was essentially man of society and
of the world IL is said that TO hear the
praise of a rival poet panied him. II this
be true he could not belong to the first
order OF men. II remember" says Lady
Dufferin 'his treating me with rude
