uty Marshal Nagle was examined in the
Federal court to-day and related the de-
tails of the tragedy in the Lathrop dining
room last month. He said that when
Judge Terry approached Justice Field he
had no idea he was going to make an at
tack, but before he could interfere Terry
slapped the justice on the face with his
right hand and repeated the blow with
his left hand, striking the justice the
second time in the back of the head.
Nagle continued:

throwing out my right hand to keep Ter
~ off shouted, Stop that. am a Uni
ted States officer. Terry then directed
his attention to me. He had his right
arm in position as if about to give an
other blow, and as he turned his glance
upon me he looked like an Infatuated
beast. His clenched fist Immediately
sought his bosom. Believing my life
was in danger l Immediately
drew my pistol with my left hand
and catching it with my right fired two
shots IN quick succession and Terry fell

Full Report of Judge Willis Received by
Governor Ross-Seizure of the Safe.
Special to the Gazette.
AUSTIN, TEX. Sept. 6.-The governor
is in receipt of the full report of Judge
Willis on the recent trouble in Roberts
county. In it are Endorsed reports from
Hon. B NJ. Baker. Capt. McMurray's
statement and Bakers reports have al
ready been published. The most inter-
esting letter in the bunch is that of w. j.
Mcdonald, who gives a minute account
of the seizure of the safe in the office of
the official who was Ousted. Mcdonald
saws he assisted Constable Cox to serve
the writ of custer. McMuTray wanted to
wait till Judge Little opened the COM
missioners' court, but the coup d etat
before that event was decided on by Cox.
They waited until the safe was open so as
to get into it. There was no excitement
and no weapons drawn. McMurray and
the rangers were in town, but not IN
the courthouse when the seizure Oc-
CURED. Mcdonald says Judge Little
came in and very eXcitedly opened
court and Immediately adjourned it,
saying they would have the Office if he
had to take a shotgun to get it. The
rangers took no part. Mcdonald de-
nounced the party, who did not know
what was up or the constable
and posse never would have
got into the safe. Mcdonald says the
fight is not between cattlemen and actual
settlers, both standing together against
what they claim is a clique around
Miami who are trying to rob them under
the guise of law He alludes to some ar
rests he had made of persons hauling
timber off of school lands IL that section.

" TEXAS, 4 REAL EMPIRE STATE
Texas, with all its self-complacency
is just beginning to be heard Of, and
known of men beyond its own
borders; and when once the state
is known and the truth of
its resources and adaptabiIity is
made apparent to the world, there will
be such influx of capital and people as
viii aggravate the apprehensiOns of those
who stand on the shivering sands and
trembIe at the yawning of "the deep
blue sea that once upon a time moved a
Texas governor to tell the world through
q magazine article that our Texas people
dIdn t want to be crowded into the shallow
water on the coast line. But that gov
ernor is gone now, "gone, John, for
ever, - and a different spirit moves Tex
as to action. The latest contribution to
the advertising of Texas is the Philadel-
phia Ledger, which, barring protec-
zionist fling at Mr.. Mills, has some good
words for the real empire state:
that their country, stretching, as 1t does, from
the Arctic ocean to the tropics with It's I'M
measurable variety and wealth of resources, ag-
ricultural and mineral, and with its millions OF
industrial population, needs no aid from the out
side world for its supply of either the neces-
saries or the comforts or even the luxuries OF
life. 1t is not every American who knows what
imperial resources are to be found in one of the
/ ,,p or,1 hat z
! sister, too. It is not alone the great breadth
| of the territory Of Texas that makes it
! the real Empire state of the South, but
! her opulence of natural resources also. The
territory of this single state, extending from the
temperate zone nearly to the tropics, and cover
! ing 237, 32I square mIles-fve times the area OF
/ Pennsylvania-is capable of producing all the
! staple agricultural products of both zones. TIC
| what is already known of the productions Of
Texas in the cereals, in wool, in cotton in sugar
and in cattle-in addition to her minerals-there
| is now to be added very promising probabilities
in coffee, Sea Island cotton and the finer grades
! of tobacco Although the coffee planting
is still in the experimental stage, the trees be-
! ING at some risk from occasional slight frost:
/ in the late autumn, still the agricultural bu'
reau has the record of a planting in Cameron
county. near the twenty-siXth parallel of lati
/ tude, where every seed that was planted ger
! minated, the planter writing that he now has
| about one hundred and fifty young trees from
! twelve 20 eighteen inches high, and all strong
and healthy. Men constitute a state, - but i
is all the better constituted when it raises all its
own coffee, sugar and corn for breakfast; it,
wheat and potatoes and beef cattle and swine fo
| dinner; its grapes and bananas and oranges 10
dessert and festive occasions; its cotton anC
wool and skins, leather for garments and heat
and foot gear all the year round, and with illim
table resources for salt all along the seashore
With these Texas has the men, too. The ont
great thing to be added is manufactures, facto

The Eject of the Interstate Commerce Law.

The Effect of the Interstate Commerce Law
New Orleans Times Democrat.
There has been a great deal of discus
sion of late as to the effect of the inter
state commerce act on railroad rates. 1t
has been asserted that the passage of this
act had little effect, that rates had not
been reduced except on occasional in
stances, and that these are on the whole
as high or higher now than when con-
gress interfered IN this matter. This
dispute Is completely set at rest by
Poor's Manual, giving the full statistics
of railroad earnings. which shows that
with an increased tonnage, the earnings
of the railroads have decreased 10 per
cent. as compared with last year. The
decrease is due not to any decrease in the
amount of freight transported, but be-
cause of a reduction in the rates
charged shippers. This reduction for
1888 as compared with 1887 amounts TO
$50 900 900, which is the amount saved
the people last year, thanks to the inter-
state commerce act and TO competition.
The railroad earnings for 1888 were, in
deed, not as great as in 1888, although
the carriers handled % per cent. less
freight then. OF course, some of the
reduction is due to the competition of
rival lines and cut rates, but the inter-
state act is equally responsible. 1t has
compelled rates to be equalized, and Sc
cured for all localities and all classes of
shippers a share of the advantages, re-
sulting from reduced transportation
charges, instead of permitting all such
| benefits to go to competitive points and a
few big shippers.

REPUBLICAN papers are beginning to
howl for Tanners removal. The In
dianapolis News (Republican) says:
''The attempt to make it appear that
Pension Commissioner Tanner is a de-
fender of the soldiers in the matter of
pensions is as impudent as it Is i'll
founded. The raid on the surplus that
seeks concealment in the ostentatious de-
tense of something which no one objects
to viii not be successful by this means.
1t is the payment of fortunes to
undeservIng veterans; the extension of
what should be q sacred bounty into a
laTgess for mobs to feed upon; pension
sharks, bounty jumpers, deserters and
play-soldiers, who never saw line of
battle or heard a gun shot to kill, be-
come elevated into a priviledged class,
living like Ieeches off the industry of a
country which they bleed instead Of hav-
ing bIed for; it is this sort of demagogical
disgrace and decentralization that is OPP
posed by the sense and decency of the
time-the more so that deserving veter-
ans may not be insulted by the fact that
a grateful government keeps them from
want. - When Democrats talk that
way they are called disloil. But
why bounce Tanner and keep
Harrison? Tanner is the out
growth of Republicanism as protec-
ton is and as race troubles in the South
are. If anybody should be bounced it IS
the Republican party.
