FIGHT IN THE CORTES.
Mayor serpa Pinto Assaulted by Progressist
Priest-A Wild Scene.

LISBON, Sept. 1.-THE reassembling of the
Cortes to-day caused great excitement through
out the city, as a strong debate on the Auglo-
Portuguese treaty was expected. Shops aud
offices were closed and thousands of citizens
of all classes wendell along the way
to the parliament buildings which were be-
sieged by enormous crowd clamorous for ad-
mission hours before the session opened. The
authorities had taken precautions against dis or
der, but official interference was unnecessary as
the crowd was good natured and well behaved
and soon after the opening OF the Cortes Senior
Ribeiro, minister of foreign affairs, moved the
adoption Of the Anglo Portuguese treaty. He began
to read the various notifications which the
government had adopted in order to assuage
public hostility to the treaty, but be-
fore he had gone far he was ST.

that the minister could not make himself heard
amid the tumult.

Progressists, ''hold your tongues
Upon this a progressist priest named Brandas
assaulted Serpa Pinto and lively pugilistic en-
counter took place, and the the president was
utterly unable TO restore order and finally dis
missed the sitting.

STRANGE BIRDS.
Local Sportsmen Bring Down Eight Pelican In
Four Rounds-A Rare Species-A
Conundrpm.

Yesterday morning Messrs. F. f. AL
bright and Wallace Buchanan struck out
from the city to the northward intent on
days cunning. The success that re-
warded their efforts was not great as
they went along, only few small birds
being bagged, until they reached a point
some thirteen miles from the city. Here
q tremendous streak of luck suddenly
and Unexpectedly dropped in upon them.
A flock of eight pelicans on their way to
the tropics from the regions
whence came the "norther'' OF a
few days ago, settled down at
q pond hard by to order a lunch. The
sportsmen went for them, of course, and
the first round laid out brace of the
noble birds. Up went the remaining
six, but soon missing their companions
they returned to the pond, and seeing
them floating upon the water alighted,
evidently intent on finding out what was
the matter. Another fusiIade from four
barrels spread out another brace of peli-
cans upon the bosom of the water, and
thus it went on until the entire eight
were dragged in four rounds.
There are two species of the pelican in
North America-the white and the
brown. The white is much the moro
rare in this country, as If seldoms stops
on our shores. 1t is also much the larger
bird of the two species, measuring about
five in length, and from seven to nine
feet from tip to tip of expanded wings,
while the brown species is only about the
size OF an ordinary tame goose. Scien-
tifically the white species Is known as
Pelicauns traohyrhynohus, the brown
species Pelicanus fuscus.
The pelicaus taken by our hunters yes
terday were of this rarer white species,
and most noble specimens they were, too.
The gentlemen brought them to the city
for the reason that they didn't know
what else TO do with them. and they
diGn t seem to know any better what to
do with them after they'd landed them
in town, and they piled them up on the
sidewalk in the restaurant region of Main
between Second and Third. The restau-
rant people didn't appear to know
anything about their merits as game
bird. The only suggestion that was
made pointing to a disposition of them
was by man who happened to get TO
wiudward of the heap. He said he
thought from the aroma that they would
make fine fish chowder.
As the reporter left he thought he saw
something brewing that might take the
elephant off the hands of the sportsmen
at fair margin-a back town female
manufacturer was inspecting them care
fully, lifting each by turn, probably at
tempting to guess how many shuoks a
large pelican would fill.

MORRIS MURDER CASE
Comes Up for Trial at Quanah on Change o
Venue from Greer County.

Special to the Gazette.
QUANAH, Ten, Sept. 16.-The fall
term of the district court, which began
last week, Monday, was adjourned until
yesterday, when the celebrated Morris
muir der case. which was brought here on
q change of venue from Greer county

Last April three young men, Moss,
Roberts aud Morris, were working to-
gether in Vernon, Tex. Moss and Rob-
erts owned a team and wagon and the
three men decided to go on q prospecting
tour through Greer county and on into

county the bodies of Moss and Roberts

had been shot to death and one had been
covered up with sand while the other had

men in his possession. He was taken to
Greer county and arraigned for trial on
charge of murder and tine case brought
here on change of venue on account of
inability to obtain jury. The trial
promises to be long and interesting, the
evidence against the accused being
wholly circumstantiai.

THE OUTLOOK ON WALL STREET


Special TO the Gazette.
WALL STREET, NEW YORK, 5 p. m. I,
Sept. Lett seems TO be the general
opinion on Wall street that the worst has
been seen; that the un pleasantly exciting
events of yesterday morning were in the
nature OF the last CONFUSION, and that
hereafter things will mend. The general
market was stronger and healthy in
tone, excepting North American COM
pauy stock. Louisville and Nashville
was one of the strong features. North
ern Pacific stocks. especially the pre-
ferred, were favorably affected by the
statement of July ending. The interstate
commerce commission has postponed the
reducing of grain rates on Western roads
until October l. Laokawanna was an
exception 20 the rule, and was weak.
Large blocks of it were sold on bear
raid. The price fell points.
Consols in London were reported weak,
owing to the withdrawal of $500, 600
from the bank of England for shipment
TO Portugal. Reports of shipments to
this country were not confined. United
States 4's sold at l26, an indication that
some persons, at least, expsct the treas
ury to pay above that figure Tomorrow.
The stock market closed strong with
money at per cent.
