TEXAS WOOL MEN.

GALVESTON, Tex, June 6.-The second
days session of the Texas wool men was
an interesting one and resulted in thor
ough reorganization of that body. The
committee on organization submitted a
report. which was adopted, reciting that
the purpose of the association is to promote
generally the interest of wool in Texas and
to cooperate with other similar organiza-
tions.
The committee on rules reported giving
the board of directors power to make such
rules and regulations as may be deemed
necessary for the proper management of
the association and the wool business
in all its various departments, such as the
packing of the same on the ranch and the
selliug of same in market, tare on sacks,
etc; also recommended that there be
county or local organizations to cooperate
and act with the state association.
The finance committee reported that
should the association be properly organ
lied the merchants of Galveston would
guarantee the preparation Of the neces-
sary statistics and provide a secretary
should this point be selected as the head
quarters of the association.
All wool commission men were voted ell
igible to membership.
A committee was ordered appointed to
make recommendation for directors. the
board to consist of an equal number of
wool-growerS and commissian men.
Officers were elected: President, A. Z.
Shepard, of Buchel comfy; first vice-presi-
dent; L. B. Haynie, of Navarro; second
vice-president, Julius Runge, of
Galveston; directors, William L.
Black. of Fort Kavett; j. Y.
Spohn, of La Sale county: w. n. Waddell,
of Colorado City, Mitchell county; j. T.
Woodruff, of Kinney county; Col. G. T.
Frost, of San Antonio; Z. L. Elliott, of
Coryell county; p. j. Willis, of Galveston;
J. d. Skinner, of Galveston; Jos. Lobit, of
Galveston.
Galveston was selected as headquarters
TO, the association.
Resolutions were adopted, reciting that
there had been an enormous amount of
wool imported annually from foreign
countries under the fraudulent term of
waste" that it is only just to producers
of wool in the United States that they
should enjoy the proper protection pro-
lection provided by the tariff; and that the
action of the secretary of the treasury in
his recent rulings on waste is COM
mended, and it is most emphatically urged
upon him that careful discrimi-
nation be made OF all such stuff as
may be imported for wool manufacturers
use. The resolutions also state that as
long as these fraudulent importations of
wool are permitted, or clothing wool is al
lowed to come in under the classification
of carpet wool it will be almost an i'm
possibility for the growers in this country
to command such price for their products
as will justify the speedy DEVELOPMENT of
the wool industry OF the United States"

THE TASCOTT TALE a FAKE.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, June 6-The story
Of Murderer Tascott's flight to China, re-
lated by his alleged cousin and mistress,
Mrs. Gantz, published in a morning paper
today and telegraphed east, is pronounced
a flake" from beginning to end by San
Francisco detectives. Captain Lee, chief
detective here, says Mrs. Gantz never saw
Tascott in her life. and that the story is

ARTHUR,S ALTITUDE ON STRIKES.

CHICAGO, June 6.-Chief Arthur is a
candidate for reelection in the Brother
hood of Engineers, and at a secret meet
ing Of over 200 delegates from the west
aud northwest, which was held in Chicago
last week where his chances are being can
vasSed, he made an optimistic speech
which the men were displeased with be-
cause of the momentarily expected re-
duction of wages on the Santa Fe and the
recent discharge by the Alton of large
number of brotherhood men.
A member of the general grievance COM
mittee got the floor and, addressing Chief
Arthur, said: "Your speech this morning
pictured our organization as impregnable
and resistless. And being SO, it had moth
ing to fear from any misfortune that
might threaten-but that no misfortune
did threaten. Now, sir, if you believe such
state Of things exists you have been in
correctly informed of affairs. The truth
is a reduction of wages is expected to be
made before long on number of west
ern roads. Such action we do not
propose to accept, because we do not
believe it justified. We therefore desire
to know whether, in the event Of reduc-
ton being ordered despite our opposition,
you would sanction striker"
Chief Arthur did not like the question,
OuG llclC w DIS nO uCi I1C dhu w
answer. With compressed lips he rose to
his feet, looked at the determined faces
before him and said: Under no condi-
ton of circumstances of which can con-
ceive shall l ever sanction another strike"
A murmer of surprise, tinged with in
dignation arose. but ceased as the chief
continued: my reason for this decision
is two-fold. In the first place, / am OPP
posed to strikes on general principles. In
the second place, to strike would be prac
tically suicide, for owing to the memorable
laws of supply and demand and the large
number of unemployed engineers in the
country, it would take but an exceedingly
short space Of time to fill your places"
But SIR" broke in the questioner,
Suppose reduction of wages should
occur on the Union Pacific system, where
the brotherhood is so thoroughly equipped
as to obtain the granting of everything
they ask, would not you authorize strike
to resist it?"
Without a moments hesitation the
chief replied: "No, sir; l would not. l
trust-I believe that no reduction of wag-
es is to be made; but should their be and
the men follow my advice, they will ac-
cept the reduction. i shall never sanction
another strike"
Chief Arthur stopped and the meeting
Mumurs Of discomfort have
been heard ever since It was known that !
the chief had a strong dislike TO strikes, |
but that his conservatism was SO extreme |
as his speech showed it to be it was never !

FIRE AT SEATTLE
The Heart of the City Devoured by IN
oontrOllable Flames.

SEATTLE, Wash, June 6-Fire broke
out at 2:30 p. m. today in the Pontius
building on Front street and by 40 p. m.
was raging over a district of five or six
blocks with tremendous fury. The wind
was from the north and the direction of
the fire was along the water on Front
street and from the latter to the
big brick block between Floyd and
San Francisco streets. Indications were
that the whole business portion of the city
would be burned away involving loss of
millions.
The magnificent San Francisco store and
other stores in a row were on fire and the
whole big block seemed doomed. The
local firemen were Helpless in the face of
the calamity and telegraphed in all direc-
lions for aid.
At 4:3O the confagration was
rushing through the heart of the
city. To add to the peril
a smart breeze began blowing off the bay,
tanning the flames and about the same
slime thousand feet of hose was caught
IN the advancing blaze and destroyed.
The opera house block opposite, all the
warehouses at the foot of Columbia street
and also the group of buildings in the rear
of the Post-Intelligence newspaper office
We're now burning. The people in the
Yester block, occupied by the Western
Union Telegraph company and the Post
Intelligence We're hurriedly moving out.
at this writing the Western Union has but
one wire undiSturbed, over which this dis
patch WAS being sent.
AT 9 D. m. thirty-one blocks had been
burned in the very heart of the city, and
there is imminent danger of the loss of
about twenty blocks more. The fire was
not at ali under control and had reached
the great coal bunkers. Should these be
the flames are certain to be com
municated to a large number of wooden
buildings and the loss increased many
fold.
The loss cannot be less than S5,000.000
and is likely to exceed that amount.

INJURED BY A LARD EXPLOSION.


HUTCHINSON, Kan, June 6.-Shortly be-
fore 10 o'clock this morning, while Gen
eral Manager Woods. of the lard refinery
here, together with George L. Lewis,
superintendent, were testing the heat of a
lard tank, a frightful explosion occurred
which seriously injured the two men,
together with steam filter named John
Gavin. They were standing directly over
the vat when it exploded, throwing them
to the ceiling above and covering them
with the boiling hot lard. Mr.. Lewis
seems to have sustained the most serious
injuries, as, in addition to being badly
scalded, he had his ankle bone fractured
and received two dangerous wounds about
the head. Physicians, however, think
there are chances of his recovery. The
injuries of the others, while serious and
exceedingly painful, are not considered
fatal
