A WRONG CONSTRUCTION.
sas rass Is Not an Attack Upon Its
Receivers-The Particulars.

Special to the Gazette.
SAN ANTONIO, TEX, Aug. 22.-The
recent Intervention of the Farmers trust
and land company in the suit of Johnson
s. Hanson VS.. the Arkansas Pass railway
has been wrongfully construed as an at
tack on the receivers of the road
and to have them removed. This
is not the case, as the
Farmers Trust and Loan company is only
dissatisfied with the action of the Forty
fifth district court in creating the receiv-
ership on the application of a creditor
whose debt was small, aud who had no
lien to cover it, whereas the intervening
defendant has first and second mortgae es
on the property of the road
and lien on all the property
and franchise OF the road and all the
rights or property to be acquired, their
debt amounting to Sc 1898 900, with
$3.50, 900 due as unpaid interest of the
bonds sold by the company. The
petitioners answer of interventions
sets forth ut great length the
claims of the intervenors to be heard
first. Mr.. Perry J Lewis, attorney for
johnson & Hansen, said that the re-
moval would be vigorously contested,
for the reason that the Federal court
never recognizes laborous lien
above mortgage lien, when it
would give the foreign debtors the
preference, and the local debtors, where
the claim exceeded those of the out
siders, would have to take a back seat
The petition will come up before Judge
King, who will pass upon il, aud il his
decision is adverse to the removal it can
be appealed TO the United States
court at New Orleans, or Judge
Maxey can decide the question.
The removal will be bitterly contested by
local creditors. The road or receivership
would not b. particularly affected by the
transfer, except as they might desire to
see the local creditors affected by
the transfer, except as they might desire
to see the local creditors affected by
the result. The case will come
up before Judge King on the first
day of the September term OF
court and be set for final hearing. The
United States rolling stock company and
W. r. Hopkins, bridge manufacturing
company iu Missouri. and Fraube of San
Antonio have interviewed with the
plaintiff. aud from the eminent array Of
legal talent on both sides the dispute will
be memorable.

Attempt Made to Blow Up the Monu-
ment Erected at Chicago In Memory of
Policemen Xxi led by Anarchists.
CHICAGO, May 26.-An unsuccessful at
tempt was made Friday night to blow
up the Haymarllet monument, erected
to the memory of the policemen who
were killed by the bomb thrown May 4,
1886. Officer Singer, of the Desplaines
street station, near where the monu-
ment is located, found on the base of the
monument Saturday morning large tin
can containing ten pounds of dynamite,
with a Illuminating capand fuse attached
and wrapped up in two old dresses. The
fuse was originally three feet long, but
had been extinguished when all but
three inches had been burned, by rain
storm. A mark of burned powder on
the base marked the original length of
the fuse. The police have no clue as yet
to the perpetrators of the deed. Extra
ordinary efforts will be made to find the
instigators, who are undoubtedly in the
ranks OF the Anarchists.

Agreement Reached by Conferecs on the
Customs Administrative BIZ.
WAsHINGToN, May 2T.-The conferees
on the Customs Administrative bill yes
terday concluded their work on tho
measure, an agreement having been
reached on all points in dispute. There
were ninety-two amendments made to
the bill by the Senate and the House
conferees accepted sixty-eight. The
only unsettled question when the con-
ferees adjourned Saturday was the date
at which the law shall tako effect. The
Senate had fixed 1t at July l, but the
treasury officials informed Messrs. Alli-
son and Mckinley that it would be i'm
possible to make the necessary arrange
ments before August 1, and that date
was inserted by the conferees yesterday.
The section providing for the appoint
ment of the nine general appraisers,
however, is to go into effect imm ediate-
ly. BY the terms of the agreement the
conferees retain the House provision
that the invoice of shipment shall con-
tain the declaration of the purchaser,
manufacturer, owner or agent, that it
(the invoice) was made at the place
from which the merchandise is to be ex-
ported to the United States.
Senate amendments to Section were
retained. These amendments impose

the declared value; il the appr aisal is
more than twenty per cent. in excess of
the declared value, the entry may be
held to be presumptively fraudulent.
The salaries of the nine general APP
praisers are fixed at 81, 900 each.

APPROPRIATION BILLS

PilIng Up In Congress at an Alarming
Rate - Conservative Members Uneasy
Over n Prospective Deficiency of S07,-
100000.
WASHINGTON, May 90. Conservative
members of Congress are beginning to
feel uneasy about the way the appro-
priation bills are piling up this session
The amount of appropriations on bills
already passed and pending, point to an
aggregate that will exceed Government
revenues by many millions during the
coming fiscal year.
Government revenue from all sources
for the year, including the postal reve-
nue., was placed by the Treasury De-
partment recently at $3.50, 100000. The
regular annual appropriation bills, ex-
elusive of deficiencies, will amount to
about S433, 100000 and the permanent
appropriations, including the sinking
fund, will reach S101, 600, 900.
The deficiency bills will, according to
the estimates of the members of the
Senate Appropriations Committee, be at
least S31, 700, 900. That makes an aggre-
gate of S455, ZOO, 600 of appropriations ex-
elusive of the Dependent Pension bill,
which, if it becomes law as passed by
the Senate, will call for $40, 900, 900. APP
propriations for the increase of the navy
as passed by the House amount to S.
900, 900. There has been 81, 800, 900 APP
propriated for the Worlds Fair. If the
River and Harbor bill, the Galveston
harbor bill and the one for the lake
channel between tho upper and lower
lakes all pass, that will make S32, 900, 900
more to be added to the appropriations.
The miscellaneous appropriations at
the last short session amounted to S10,-
255, 795 and they are likely to amount to
good deal more at this session, as the
public building bills already reported in
the House carry an aggregate appropri-
alton of S14,000,Oo0, to say nothing of
the Senate bills, but if the miscellane-
Gus appropriations carry only the same
amount as at the last session the total
of appropriations will amount to S549,-
S55, 795. leaving deficiency of S97, ,OOo,-
600. These figures and estimates leave
out of sight possible appropriations for
coast defenses, the Direct Tax bill and
many other measures which if enacted
into law will swell the deficit next year
considerably above $780, 900. 900.

BEATS THE RECORD.

More Changes in the Makeup of the
Lower House OF Congress than Ever
Known in Any Previous Session.
WAsHINGToN, May 2T.-There have
been the largest number of vacancies in
the present House of any House of Repre-
sentatives that has assem- bled since the
close of the war. There are now sitting
in the House nineteen members who
were not elected to it when Congress
was chosen in November, lSSs, and there
are still two vacancies to be filed, occa-
stoned by the death of Represe NATIVE
Wilbur, of New York, and the advance
ment of Representative Carlisle to the
Senate.
The death rate of the Fifty-irst Con-
gress has been unprecedented. Three
hundred and twenty-five members were
elected to it in November, 1sSS. and
now nine of that number are dead and
the successors of all but one of them are
in Congress. When the successors of
Carlisle and Wilbur are chosen there
will be twenty-one new members in the
House. This numberis sure to be swollen
by the probable action of the House in the
three remaining contested election
cases, in which the committee has
recommended the unseating of the sit
ting members. If the House supports
the committeeman it has not hereto
fore failed to do so-Langston will sue
ceed Venable, Kernaghan will succeed
Morgan, McDuffee will supplant Turpin
and the number of men in the House
will be swelled to the almost unprece-
dented figure of twenty-four.

seven o'clock Sunday morning this town
was visited with severe shock of
earthquake. Large buildings were
shaken, people were thrown out of
chairs and out of bed and glass shat

by loud rumbling noise. At the same
moment the fire bells rang out and the
whole city turned out, the excitement
being intense. a small dwelling was
burned. Later in the morning, when
the excitement had hardly subsidized,
the fire bells again gave the alarm and
a largo brick building in the rear of the
opera house was discovered to be in
flames. 1t was occupied as laundry
and was entirely destroyed. Another
shock of earthquake was felt about
noon. The shock was the most severe
over felt in this vicinity.
