DEATH OF GEN. CROOK.

This distinguished commander did
us such splendid service in quelling
the Indians in the west and putting
an end to the bloody butcheries and
raids of the Apaches in Arizona that
it is with sincere regret his death will
be received in Texas and the entire
west. Gen. Crooks destruction OF the
Indian power of Arizona and New
Mexico was an event scarcely less i'm
portant than his brilliant and gallant
record in the great battles OF ChickN-
mauga and Antietam.
Gen. Crook, whose home was ut
Dayton, o., began his career us
colonel of the Thirty-sixth Ohio vol
unteers, and in 1861 was promoted to
major general. Besides the battles
mentioned, Gen. Crook participated in
number of smaller engagements
such as Eoover's Gap, Cedar Creek,
lullullOlllli anu ClldSuuIS. Az bllC
windup he was in command of the
calvary of the Army of the Potomac
When the United State forces under
Grant pursued Lees army on
the retreat from Richmond
and Petersburg, April to 8, 1865.
Gen. Crook hung upon Lees rear, over
taking Ewell's corps on the morning
of Thursday, April 6, 1865. On the
afternoon of that day was fought the
battle of Sailors Creek, west of Anne
liza Court House, in which Ewell and
all his forces were captured. Gen.
Crook was also at the surrender at
Appomatox, three days later. Thus

WHETHER the report has leaked out
from official sources or not, it is now
generally discussed that it will take
nearly 81 100000 instead of the sum
originally supposed 100000 to build
the dam and furnish all accessories
for watering the town. But M
doubling the amount has not stag,
gered a single citizen so far as heard
from. Indeed, on the contrary, the
general expression is one of bette
satisfaction, as this larger sum seems
to give stronger guarantee OF perfect
success than the first limited amount.
The cost is not troubling the people a
particle it is the want OF the dam, the
need of cheap water and light, and
the yearning for increased business
and population that are bothering
them. The dam at any price is the
idol of their ambition.

Our Relations With Japan.

From The Herald:
In your Toxic (Japan) correspon-
dents letter, published in your daily
of this morning, very deservedly
high compliment was paid to the dis
tinguished Ex-Governor Hubbard,
who was the American minister to
Japan under the Cleveland admins
tration. 1t was my good fortune to
know Governor Hubbard during his
ministry to Japan, and had frequent
occasion-as all Americans had-tO
witness his dignity and ability, as
we'll as the genial and kindly courtesy
which he always extended to his
countrymen irrespective of political
parties or other conditions. While |
indorse your able correspondents de-
served tribute to Governor Hubbard,
YOU will allow me with due Difference
to differ from him when he expresses
the belief that the treaty negotiated
by Minister Hubbard with Japan was
''premature." 1t was rather n reCog-
milton in advance OF all other nations
by the United States of America of
the autonomy and political and COM
mercial independence of that progress
sive people.
Minister Hubbard was opposed from
the beginning to the end by all the
European powers, some OF whom-no-
tably Russia, Germany and France
only came to negotiate similar treaties
months after and really because OF the
bold action of the United States min
lister. 1t is well known that in all his
the American minister
in this mat err of the treaty had tie
earnest support and advice OF his gov
and President Cleveland and
Secretary Of State Bayard.
The course of the United States for
many years past has ever been espec-
tally cordial and friendly to Japan, as
the history of all preceding admins
tratlons from General Gran: down to
President Cleveland testifies, as to the
recognition of the independence OF
this empire. 1t has made that nation
an unseitish friend Of the great repub-
lie. Our trade, from fifteen millions
in 1850, rose to twenty-six millions in
1889 at the close of Minister Hub
bard's mission. AN AMERICAN.

LLANO, LOOK AND LIVE!

A prominent lawyer of LlNno this
morning gives some information a few
days ago asked of the Express. BY
his own confession Mr.. Miller was the
prime mover in the scheme of extend
ing the Arkansas Pass railroad from San
Antonio to Llano, and deserves much
credit therefor, although the compile
ticn OF such plan is still a thing very
much Of the future. We are told that
the original bonus for such road
%l25, O00-has all been consumed. but
that only little over four-ffths of
the line has been graded. 1t will
require, it is now estimated, some
$4,000 more to complete the grading,
OF which amount our correspondent
believes San Antonio will contrib
tribute $4,000. But the admis-
sion is made that the whole
thing is now at standstil
until Col. Lott returns from "making
satisfactory arrangements for Deep
Water at Arkansas Pass" Could any
thing be more indefinite than this?
Austin cannot afford to let Llano
wait so long for railroad. 1t is noted
with pleasure that "cut" is not such u
formidable thing as reported. 1t is
said $4,000 have already been spent on
it, but no mention is made of the re-
suit accomplished by that sum. 1t has
come to us that 100000 would be re-
quired to remove the mountain OBJ
stacle; have the $4,000 already used
removed more than one-tenth of it?
But the part of the communication
that comes home to us so keenly is
the cruel reflections cast upon Aus
tin. We can afford to lose
that and other railroads, but
in mercy's name use us not so
harshly with epithet. Surely we
might have known it was ten years
ago since you favored yourself with
residence in Austin, for could you
write thus, knowing things as they
now exist here? Let the scales drop
from your eyes and behold in Austin
one Of the most splendid towns in
Texas-a town whose business men
have come together in strong compact
and who will make things hum. Do
not we implore you follow after false
gods; make not unto yourself II
craven image of San Antonio-cOmc
feed in pastures new and green, where
you will be satisfied. 1t took San
Antonio many weary months to raise
that first $4,000 for your road
heaven only knows what time would
be consumed in securing the second
$4,000 installment. Turn from n
shadow and grasp substance,
give up hope for road you doubtless
will never need, or surely not
for years, go in and make
us half the proposition you
made San Antonio and in six months
time you will, over steel rails, be in
touch with the Gulf. Let us too quote
religiously, turn sinner, why will we
die?" BE not almost" but altogether
persuaded"

IT is now reported Lampasas has

locker on, much interested in the sue
cess of that growing section of the
State, is-gain two connections instead
of one while you are about it. Build
to Burnet and you will have the Aus
tin and Northwestern and you will
also have your line to Llano. For, as
sure as the sun rises and sets daily,
that road will lie built from Burnet to

twelve months. This is official.

AUSTIN HAs nEGuN HEX Room.

Theories are beautiful but facts are
the ground floor of business. When
the old farmer and his sons gave Up
the idea of others doing their work
and came into the field, cradle in
hand to cut their own wheat, then it
was the oldsbirdsSfound a new home
for their young. When a town stops
talking of what she is going to do and
does it, then confidence is kindled,
business prospects brighten and the
town begins to grow. But talk, long,
strong and continued talk, seems al
ways a necessary precursor OF any
such time of action. Austin certainly
has manfully battled through the
talking stage, now look out for the
deeds accomplished.
First was discussed the spasmodic
character of the efforts made in Aus
tin to do something, and not only
this, but the clannish spirit manifested
when any project was started. The
remedy proposed was that our bust
ness men "should get together" and
establish harmonious band of work
ers.s., In time, from such discussion re-
suited the Board of Trade that is Civ
ing an excellent account OF itself.
Next we looked further into our
needs as city. 1t was seen we were
city Of consumption and not of pro-
duction. 1t was discovered we could
not reverse the established law that
you can not eat your cake and have it
too, and the next thing was how to
get more cake. The Board Of Trade
helped in such investigation. 1t was
decided in the first place we were
paying too much for such prime
necessaries of life as light
and water and the remedy
for the evil was sought out. Con-
neCted with the solution Of this ques-
ton it was found that from one
method of obtaining cheap water and
light there also resulted tremendous
power that could be converted into
giving us this extra quantity of cake
we were after. 1t was demonstrated
that by ole master stroke we could
not only cheaper the cost of necessa-
ries of life, but establish potent
agency of production, of creating
values and swelling our population.
Such discovery at first staggered the
thoughtless and those too well accus-
toned to the slow progress OF things.
But as more light has been poured in,
as discussion has reached the point of
proof, tremendous ground swell has
come in, and the hope of the town is
on every tongue. Men speak with an
assurance that will not admit of doubt.
lHCy supp IDb Nv ill CoIlhldOO vi OhN
cost Of the thing they want, but de-
clare it cheap at any price and that
they will have it. The result is what?
There has been a veritable revolution
in feeling; merchants go about their
duties with renewed confidence, prop
crty holders are more hopeful and real
estate men are reaching out into the
country for new fields OF labor. Con-
trast the spirit OF hope and confidence
abroad in the streets of Austin today
with the feeling of six months ago and
answer, has not change come
about? If all this is so before a
stone of the dam has been put in posi-
ton what then of the future of Austin,
when with the wheels of II hundred
in motion, she bids de-
fiance to the competition of any city
in the State?
