though 1T May Not Do Much Harm.

AUSTIN, TEX, August S0.-Referring to the
failure Of Potter, Lowell d Co., August LANCER
man OF the Brazos Improvement Company,
whose Texas headquarters are in this city, said
yesterday that the failure was a surprise to
him. He said, however, that he did not think
1t would interfere with the enterprise at the
mouth OF the Brazos river, where over sl, $50 600
have been expended. Very little more money
Is needed 10 complete the work. He says the
1etties will be finished by the last Of September.
DUBUQUE, Iowa, August 30.-The Potter
Lowell failure in Boston has created consider
able excitement in the banking circles in this
city, although no one here is believed to be in
any way affected by the suspension. 1t is the
general belief in this section that the failure
was attributable 10 the Brazos river
scheme to establish deep water
harbor in Texas on the gulf of Mexico.
.. A. Rhomberg Of this city, a man largely in
terested in Texas railroads and lands and who
is familiar with the Brazos scheme. was seen
last night. Mr.. Rhomberg was inclined to
think that the failure was attributed to other
causes besides the Brazos scheme, although
no doubt, that cut largo figure in the affair.
