AUSTIN, TEX, May S.-Lieutenant-
Governor Wheeler who was on his way
to Arkansas Pass again. stopped off and
shook hands with his many friends and
old neighbors here. During the past few
weeks he has been devoting his time to
taking foreign capitalists down to the
''coast country Just the exact ma
ture of his business he has not revealed
to the public, but some of the knowing
ones quietly give it out that one of the
most important enterprises ever devel-
oped in Texas is about to be iuaugurated,
a scheme that will be the means of
bringing more Aoutside capital into the
state than anyteing ever yet undertaking.
1t is claimed Nat most powerful syn
dictate composedfef American, Engiish
and Scotch capitalists, including some of
the most promIne#t citizens otTexas,

The pany backing the enterprise
have ample capital to make this the
leading commercial city on the coast of
:the Gulf of Mexico, not excepting New
Orleans.
Parties have been quietly working up
this enterprise for several months, but
their movements were so well guarded
that none bur those interested knew any
thing about the matter until within the
past few days.
Governor Wheeler is entitled to great
credlct for the skillful manneD in which
he conducted this deal, winch promises
SO much for Texas. Apd now that he
has his private business affairs in shape,
and proposes to enter upon a vigorous
campaign, we may expect to soon see
some vim and enthusiasm injected into
the gubernatorial race.

RUSHING THINGS.
Business to be Forced Through
Parliament this Week.
Stanley is Bothered by Relic Hunters
Curiosity Seekers and Museum
Managers.
The Ex- Empress Eugenia q Complete Wreck in
Body and splrits-Prince Of Wales
Unveils Gordon's Statue.
In Parliament.

In Parliament.
Special to the Gazette.
LONDON, May Let is believed that
the present week will be critical one in
parliament. The government intends to
force business through as rapidly as pos
sible by the aid of q liberal use of the
power of the cloture. The Nationalist
will make as strong an opposition to
the governments whisky tax measure
as they are allowed to under the rule.
The ground of their objection is that
Ireland would, under it, be forced to
pay the largest tax in the Kingdom
while deriving the least benefit from the
proceeds. Public condemnation of the
governments apathy in regard to
England IS interests in Africa has
beer somewhat mitigated by the
announcement that the adj
boats to proceed imme diately
whatever British interests may need pro-
lection in that vicinity.
The prince of Wales to-day offioIated
in his usual graceful manner on such oo-
casions at the unwilling of the statue of
address was euloglstIc of the dashing
"Christian soldier'' and skillfully
avoided too close reference to the closing
circumstances of the hero's career which
do no credit to England and which En-
glishmen do not like to dwell upon.
STANLEY IS COMPLAINT.
Stanley is suffering from annoyances to
which all men of prominence have to sub
NIT in the matter of relic hunters and
curiosity seekers. There is a brisk
competition among the managers
of exhibitions and museums in an effort
to gain possession of some of the effects
belonging to the African expedition.
Stanley has received no less than forty
two applications from waxworks pro-
prietors, etc. for the old suit in which
he was clothed when first reached by the
Europeans. Indeed, some enterprising
managers, among them New Yorker,
even sent agents to Zanzibar. Their
efforts have all been in VAN, however,
as the explorer donated whatever he
would spare to the Stanley exhibition
under his patronage in London. STAN
ley's officers and companions have been
subjected to similar solicitations, though,
of course, in lesser degree.
EX-oUEEN AND Ex-EMPREss.
Ex-Queen Isabella of Spain has ar
rived in London inoog.

ex-Empress Eugenia, who is living there
in strict retirement under the name of
Countess de Pierrefonds, is suffering

not yield to the effects of the waters nor
the sk1lful medical treatment. The once
beautiful Eugenis, who has recently
passed her sixty-fourth birthday. is COM
pletely wrecked in body and spirits.

Wilson arose to question of privilege
and made very clear and disDsssionate
statement Of facts in the case of James
Campbell, the boss blower OF glass and
other transpareucies. Wilson said, not
only he, nor Bynum, ever told Campbell
that $50 per month was enough wages for
a laborer, but that nothing was said in
the Interview that could by any posi-
bility be twisted into such q statement.
It was possible Campbell could have made
his affidavit through mistake, but it was,
as has been stated in his reply, an indie
feasible lie. Having finished with Camp
bell IN the most graceful way possible,
Wilson did the superb thing, which
brought the confusion on Bayne and
ended the whole matter. "Now - the
brilliant West VIrginian said, 81 shall
pause to hear from the gentleman, Mr..
Bayne, to learn whether he endorses the
Language of Mr.. Campbell. - Mr.. Wilson
then sat down, Bayne arose with red
face, and
AFTER SOME sTAMMERING
and long explanation, in which he said
he had not before known the facts as to
Campbell affidavit, he said he was sat-
isfed that Campbell had been mis-
taken, and that neither Wilson or
Bynum ever made the statement
Campbell had credited them with.
Wilson said he would let the matter
rest with Bayne's statement, so the
trouble ended quietly, but Bynum still
rests under censure of the majority of
the house, and no Republican had the
courtesy to move to expunge the record
of Saturday night. The universal COM
ment is that Bayne would have bettered
his position by making such motion in
connection with his retraction. Bynum' 8
friends, however, felt that the IndianIan
can well afford to stand where he is,
discredit lying upon the majority.

WARRINGTON, May 19.-The fight over

in Mexican silver ores under the tariff, is
one of the closest and most vigorous of
the session. Albeit there is no surface
excitement; whichever way it goes it
will be q triumph for the clever work in
the lobby. Both sides have been doing.
their level best to whip in recruits. The
struggle is between mine owners and
smelters, and both parties have plenty.
of money to spend. Rumors of big bribesS
are current, but there seems to be little
foundation for them, as IN the matter
where the issue in controversy is so little
understood, anybody who can make
friends easily can do effective lobby
work, being able to make any state
ment he pleases in his private appeal,
with little fear of contradiction.
ne smelters' party is counting on some
s<fteen Republican votes from districts
where smelling works are situated, while
on the other hand the other party say
they have SIX Democratic votes pledged,
and the promise of several more Demo-
Gratis to stay out of the chamber while
the cote is taken. The result will be
';SaSss at any event, probably being de-
Sfded by not more than ten
votes either way. The smelters are
