RED aIBsoNs KILLING.
Bad Feeling That Threatens to 90
More B1oodshed.

Bad Feeling That Threatens to Cost
More Bloodshed.
ST. LOUIS, June pa special from Aus
tin, Tex, says: "The killing Of Red Glib
son at Wharton last Saturday by Kyle
Terry, has stirred up bad blood in Wharton
and the adjoining county tFort Bend, and
there are grave fears that the opposing fac
tions will clash and much blood be shed.
The governor last night received the fol-
lowing kilograms in reference to the
trouble, which has been brewing for over a
year:
RICHMOND, June "a. 1889.
County Attorney j. H. Meek is authorized to
report that, as sheriff Of Fort Bend countys
am unable to enforce the law without conflict
Of arms and to ask assistance from the state to
disarm the community and enforce obedience
to the law. T. NJ. GARyEY, Sheriff.
County Judge c. N. Weston also wrote
as follows:
RICHMOND. June "a, 1885,
To Co.. Ross Aatstin. Tea:
Under the present state of affairs in this
county, it becomes my duty to officially notify
your excellency that the officers of the county
are powerless to enforce the law 1t is impossi-
BILE to disarm the community, and the public
peace and safety of the county demand that it
be done by some other power.
The governor last night received the fol-
lowing telegram:
To Gou. Ross:
Kyle Terry killed Red Gibson here, last Satur-
day. The examining trial will be on June &C.
A mob is seriously threatened and the prisoners
life is in danger. The force at hand is very in
adequate to uphold the law. Please order the
Victoria Rifles here tomorrow to assist me in
maintaining peace during the trial.
j. W. JONES,
Sheriff of Wharton County.
In compliance with the above, the gov
ernor last night ordered the Victoria Rifles
to Wharton, and this morning ordered
Capt. Jones' Rangers TO Richmond. The
feud is political one, but is not confined to
republicans on one side and democrats on
the other, but a mixture of democrats and
republicans being on each side. Terry,
who killed Gibson, is son of Col. Terry of
the famous Terry Rangers, and has a
strong following. Gibson was prominent
man and had scores of friends.

TANNER TAKEN TO TASK.
he FEELS THE CRITICISMS ON HIS
EXTRAVAGANCE

An Interview With the President in
Which He Tries to Explain His Con-
nection With the Claim Agents and
the Promotion of Private Secretary
SQuires.
WASHINGTON, June 25.-Corporal Tanner
feels keenly the criticim made upon his ex-
travagant course as commissioner of PEN
sions. He went to the President to-day
and made such explanations as were pos
sible about his connection with the claim
agents and the peculiar performances which
resulted in the promotion of Private Secre-
tary Squires to an office in the far west.
The President has been seriously annoyed
by Tanners indiscretion, and it was Tan
ners knowledge of that fact, coupled with
insinuations that he would do well to go
and explain, which took him to the white
house.
ACTION OF THE PRESIDENT.
The President listened to what he had to
say, relieved his fears that he was about to
be dismissed, and warned him to change
his course. Tanner promised to mend his
ways, and especially to review his action in
some cases In which he had given especial

dictated an ''iutervlewn to his private
secretary for the press, announcing that he
was on the best of terms with the Presi-

tary Bussey; that he was not to be moved
by the attacks of democratic newspapers,
which, he said, he was informed were de-
termined upon at the recent meeting of the
democratic national committee
READY TO BE INVESTIGATED.
He also said that he was ready to be in
vestigated, and that his investigation would
result in his triumphal acquittal. But he
said that when the administration Of his
immediate predecessor was investigated
startling disclosures would be made. The
Presidents paternal lecture does not seem
to have done him much good. Tanner is
banking on his connection with the Grand
Army Of the Republic to keep him where
he is

Girl" Nothing could be got out Of the
witness as TO McDow's intention in trying
TO take her into the house uptown on the
day of the murder. Her answers were per-
fectly frank and apparently equally inno-
cent She said in answer TO the question: II
don't believe he knows himself.n
Asked if she thought Mellow loved her,
she answered: ~ thought so, but not in the
right way-not in an honest way.n
When the witness was finally dismissed
1t was difficult to say what impression she
had made 1t was altogether one of the
most remarkable examinations ever held in
court room.
The only other evidence takeu'during the
day was that of John Devereux, aud H.
Oliver, who measured the footprints in the
closet, and w. Wigg, who corroborated
the story of the finding of the body.
The trial will probably last two or three
days longer
The case for the defense will be opened
tomorrow, and, perhaps, Mellow himself
viii take the stand. The arguments will
probably not begin before Friday.

COTTON TO NEW ORLEANS
THE COMPLAINT OF DISCRIMIN A
TON IN RATES.

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion Begins Its Hearing Into the
Charges Formulated by the New
Orleans Cotton Exchange-The Hear
ing Not Yet Closed.
WASHINGTON, June 25.-The interstate
commerce commission to-day took up for
hearing separately several complaints of
very great interest to producers, shippers
and compressors of cotton, brought by the
New Orleans Cotton Exchange against a
number of railroad carriers. They are as
follows:
The New Orleans Cotton Exchange VS..
the Illinois Central Railroad Company; VS..
the Louisville, New Orleans and Texas Rail-
road Company, and VS.. the Cincinnati, New
Orleans and Texas Pacific, New Orleans
and Northeastern Company, and Others.
The com mission took up the first COM
plaint against the Illinois Central. The
complaint in this case is that the company
is habitually making unjust aud unreason-
able charges for hauling cotton from towns
and stations along its line in the cotton
producing country to New Orleans, and
especially from Parsons and Aberdeen,
Miss, and intervening stations to New Or
leans; that the railroad company with its
connections gives to New York and New
England points better rates than to points
south; that the relative rates to New Or
leans are nearly five times as much as to
the north and east. and that the tendency
OF these rates is to drive the cotton trade
from New Orleans.
ANSWER OF THE ROAD.
The answer of the Illinois Central denies
that it has been habitually making unjust
and unreasonable charges for hauling cot
ton; denies having received from persons
shipping cotton north and east from the
cotton producing country less compensation
in the aggregate than it received from other
persons shipping cotton from Parsons,
Aberdeen and intervening stations
to New Orleans under like con-
ditions, and it asserts that if les compensa-
tion in the aggregate had been received,
as alleged, tho services were different
and not rendered under similar circum-
stances and conditions; that by no act of
the respondent has it given unreasonable
preference or advantage to Lowell, Boston,
New York, or other eastern cities as
charged, to the undue or unreasonable
prejudice of New Orleans and that locality.
The respondent also says it believes that in
the matter of rail transportation charges
from the point Of production, New Orleans
enjoys the full benefit due to her advan-
tageous position in reference to the cotton
trade.
WITNESSES EXAMINED.
Several witnesses engaged in the cotton
business were examined at length concern
the manner of doing business, the methods
of shipping cotton, and various other mat
ters of technical interest. A large mass of
statistical matter was also submitted, and
at the conclusion of the examination the
commission adjourned until tomorrow
morning when some further inquiry that
may be suggested by an examination of the
statistical data will probably be had, and
the question be argued by the attorneys for
the respective parties.

had committed in causing the arrest and
detention of NJ. Laissant and himself.
Prime Minister Tirard, in response, de-
elared that the government would leave the
matter for the Chamber to decide. He con-
sidered, however, tnau it would be best to
postpone discussion of the subjec until Fri
day in order that there might be no delay
In the consideration of the budget.
OPPOSED TO DELAY.
NJ. la Guerre insisted upon immediate
discussion.
NJ. de Mahy urged that the matter be
postponed until the army bill was dis
posed of.
M. Andrieux taunted the moderates with
being much more ministerial than the min
isters themselves.

terpolation of NJ. Ia Guerre as an attempt
TO obstrucs the passage Of the budget. He
warned the republicans to take care lest

time allowed the builders of the cruiser

The contractors asked for an extension of
four months on account of defective plans.
The secretary has determined to allow them
a reasonable time, about six weeks from
date, and as the vessel is already several
months behind hand this will amount to
about what they ask. The extension
granted will operate to remit the penalties
for delay which have already accrued in a
considerable amount, having averaged
about $3.50 daily for some time past.

sWITzERLAND'S NEUTRALITY.
The North German Gazette Summar-
ICES Its History

AAO5 Abo L1lSVOIJs
BERLIN, June 25.-The North German
Gazette, in an article summarizing the his
tory Of the development of Switzsrland's
neutrality since the Vienna congress, says:
Switzerland has altered her international
constitution and infringed the stipulations
of congress. Prussia, Austria and France
in IS4S served notice upon Switzerland that
they would not fulfill the obligations thev
had taken upon themselves toward her
unless she preserved intact the condi-
tions upon which her neutrality
was based. But further than this the rights
of Switzerland are not established merely by
the maintenance of neutrality, nor is this
principle exclusively dominant in defining
the obligations of Switzerland to other
powers. The accepted doctrines of inter-
national law provide that no state shall
tolerate within It's boundaries any acts or
efforts that are injurious to other states.
This principle applies with especial force in
the case of country whose neutrality,
inviolabIlity and integrity are guaranteed
by other powevs. If state in this
position tolerates, or in any way promotes
such injurious acts it infringes privilege
which has been conceded to it by the guar
anteeing powers. The breach Of privilege
is more fagrant when a state becomes
party to efforts against the safety OF a
neighboring state or exercises its authority
to prevent ueighbor froEn warding of
hostile intrigues.
PUBLIC PROSECUTOR.
BERNE, June 25.-As result Of the COM
plants made by foreign powers against the
action Of the socialists and others in Switz-
erland, the government has appointed a
permanent public prosecutor in order to
strengthen the control Of the police over
the movements of refugees
