GrosvernOr of Ohio replying to Sow
den of Pennsylvania, in the national
house of esentatives, who was an
tagonizing the river and harbOr ap-
preparations remarked: "There was
nothing of sectiOnalism in the COM
mittee. 1t had given the most care
full attention in deciding the apprO-
priations for Texas, and there was
nothing recommended which could
not be justified by the demands of
commerce present and prospective"
Grosvernor is republican, SOwden a
democrat. Texas is democratic. The
time is coming when the democratic
state of Texas will find a republican
congress more ready to appropriate
money for the improvement Of Texas
harbors than it's democratic prede-
cessOr.
THE Times of this city says editor
tally after wrestling with the solution
for a season:
at is difficult to understand why
the Dallas News should say every
thing the Galveston News says on the
deep water question. Dallas is situa-
ted in the interior of the state and is
supposed to be entirely nOn-partisan
on the deep water ques ton, yet we
find the Dallas News Ginning in as
an uncompromising advocate of deep
water at Galveston. Everything to
the contrary receives black eye from
the Dallas end. Are we to under
stand that the people of Dallas are
committed to the policy Of their MORN
ing daily?"
Has not the Times read of two
hands with but a single pen, two
heads that think as one? The Dallas
News is the head of that of which the
Galveston News is the tail. Tread on
the tail and the other end hollers.

Washington Letter in New York Tribune.
In one of the leading hotels to-day / met
an old acquaintance who is q prominent
business man and an active Republican in
a large and hustling Western town. After
the usual salutations had been exchanged
he fastened to say:

office-seekers, and they were making con-
siderable chin-music; but there were not
enough of them to be called a horde /
suppose they are the men, however, who
inspire the stories that l read in Washing

tent and all that. Ont West, were | live,
there is no Republican ~discontent.' and I
ave come to the conclusion that the dis

THE SHAH'S BOY A GIRL.
The British Matron Shocked by the Oriental
Potentate's Conduct.
London Special.


London Special.
The Shah's stay in London appears to
have made that worthy potentate very
tired, and in the proper and not the
slangy meaning of the word. Since he
started out in the country he has been two
hours late on an average for every appoint
ment. and has shown an unusual fondness
for going to sleep at unexpected moments,
when his people dare not wake him. The
fact that his Majesty takes about with him
a very pleasing young woman in boys cos
tune. is being commented upon, and has
riled the British matrOn considerably. AS
q matter of fact, the British matron ought
to be rather grateful to his Majesty for
having brought only one young person
from his harem instead of half q dozen,
which would have been very moderate &C
cording to his point of view, and for keep
ing this young woman so much in the back
ground as he does.
The Shah's temporary favorite, who Is
very. rarely seen. is a remarkably good
looking girl of Circassian birth, not in the
least resembling the ordinary C~ircassian
girl of as exhibited in New
York dime museums. She has short hair,
very fine eyes, and, in fact, the classical
combination which goes to make up
oriental beauty.
Somebody since the Shah's arrival has
been amusing himself by calculating his
Majesty's expenses on this trip. Although
nearly everything is paid for by the various
governments, towns, Lord Mayors and
private individuals with whom his Shah
ship comes in contact, it seems that his
own expense account will easily 60 beyond
S1,500.000 before he gets home, on account
of the presents which he gives and the size
of his suite, which numbers over sixty, and
probably uses mp a great deal of pocket
mOQey.

Beggs Again Refused Release.

CHICAGO, July 16.-Judge Horton, in the
Criminal Court, this morning, denied law
yer Beggs's application for a writ of habeas
remarkable petition, and in it made some
very broad and serious charges against the
grand jurors and the States attorney. The
petition says that the grand jurors and
States Attorney Longnecker deliberately
and %corruptly conspired to indict him for
the purpose of obtaining from him q con-
fession. 1t further states that the grand
jury heard no evidence which warranted
indictment of Reggs, but returned the in
dictment against him upon receiving an
anonymous letter stating that he appointed
a committee of member of camp No. 20,
Clan-na-Gael, for the purpose of trying Dr..
Cronin on charges preferred against him.

Market Quotations to Be Restored.

CHICAGO, July l6.-The Chicago Board of
Trade to-day adopted a resolution declar-
ing against the recent decisions of the
court, but resolving to restore the market
quotations withdrawn on the 31st of May.
This is done, the board alleges, to avoid an
unjust discrimination in favor of the par
ties whose pending ~injunctions prohibit
the withdrawal of quotations from the
public.' The resolution concludes by stat
ing this action is taken without prejudice
to the right now claimed and insisted upon
by the Board of Trade of the city of Chicago
to control its market quotations, and to
hereafter modify or repeal this resolution
as in the Judgment of its board of directors
may seem expedient and proper.
