DEEP WATER,
The Senate Passes the Bill ApprOpri-
atfng s6,2OO,OOO for Galveston.
The Bills for Improving Aransas and Sabine
Pesses to be Cared For In the River

GETS THROUGH THE SENATE T..

GETS THROUGH THE SENATE.
Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, March 30.-The senate
yesterday accomplished coup 'etat IN
passing the bill appropriating Sc, 200, 200
for deep water port at Galveston. This
is long step forward and the outlook
to-day for a Texas marine harbor is most
encouraging. Great credit is due to both
of the Texas senators; = Senator Frye, the
chairman of the committee on commerce,
Senators Teller of Colorado, Plumb of
Kansas, and Vest of Missouri, who sup
ported the measure and made telling
speeches in its favor.
The passage of the Galveston project
does not necessarily mean the defeat of
the bills for improving Arkansas and Sa-
hlne Passes, both of which will be cared
form the river and harbor bill. Senator
Coke, in closing his remarks upon the
bill, said: ''We want one great COM
mercal port, one into which all the Ves-
sells of the world can enter, aud Calves
ton, by the report Of the engineers, by
the conveyance there of the great
est commerce on the gulf coast
west OF New Orleans, by the
indications of nature, is the point, and
the one point, upon the Texas coast
where we can get such q port. We do
not need it for Texas alone. Behind US
is the Indian Territory, that great area
so shortly to be settled. Arkansas,
Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska and all that
country has memorialized congress for
deep water port on the gulf Of Mexico.
There is no trouble about Arkansas and
Sabine Passes. The commerce commit
tee will make liberal appropriation for
each of them.
Senator Reagan will speak tomorrow
on the bills for issue of treasury notes on
silver bullion and for the free coinage of
gold and silver dollars.
HOLSTERS FOR GALVESTON.
The United States fish commission sent
q messenger from New York yester-
day by steamer for Galveston with 500
Holsters, part of which were females,
with fortified eggs. They are to
be planted off the Galveston break
water. A shipment was sent last
year to the same place, but owing to
very warm weather at the time, did not
survive the journey.
Last summer the fish commission were
successful in transplanting some Holsters
from Woods Hall, Mass, to San Fran
cisco by rail, and it is thought that this
trip will be equally successful.

LIVESTOCK NOTES.
GOVERNMENT CONTROL.

A System that Would do Away with Eng
lands Objection to American Cattle.
A GAZETTE reporter had long CONVEX
sstion with Mr.. W. F. Sommerville of
the Matador land and cattle company
yesterday On the subject of the embargo
imposed by Great Britain on the intro
duction of American cattle into that
country.
Zone thing that gives rise to the OPP
position in Great Britain to American
cattle, SAID he, lis the want OF sys-
tenn in the United States in livestock
matters. If the government here would
take hold of the matter, divide the coun-
try into districts and prohibit the move
ment of cattle, either from the North to
the South or from the South to the North,
from districts in which any disease
among cattle had appeared, this would
give England and other foreign countries
confidence in our cattle, and l believe
would result in the speedy removal of the
embargo against beef cattle from the
United States.
''It is not any feeling against this coun-
try that has caused the restrictions on
cattle shipments to be imposed by the
English government, but Is simply an
outgTowth of the defective system in this
country. Cattle can be shipped from
the North TO the South at all times, no
matter if pleuro-pneumonia does exist
in the North; and the English govern
ment knows this, Is it to be wondered
at then that an embargo is placed on
all American cattle?
"Now if there was a system by which
no cattle could be moved from those
districts in which cattle diseases ex-
listed until the disease had disappeared,
foreign countries would feel safe in al
lowing American cattle to enter, free,
their ports, but until there is some as
surance of this kind, it may be ex-
pected that there will be restrictions on
our cattle being shipped into other coun-
tries. -

There are people in Fort Worth who
know what these developments are liable
to be, but mum is the word with them
and it is impossible to get the sIig htest
information from them.
A GAZETTE reporter was in cow ersa-
ton with a gentleman who has taken a
lively interest in the Fort Worth and AL
burque road, and who probably knows as
much of the affairs of that enterprise as
any person IN Fort Worth, and during
the conversation asked if any thing had
been heard from President Black lately
eyes, sir, - was the answer. 81 re-
ceiVed a communication from him yester-
day.
"Wben viii he be in Fort Worth?'
al cannot state definitely when he will
be here. 1t will depend to a great ex-
tent on circumstances.
''What are those circumstances?
Gwen, he Is in New York waiting for
Mr.. Gould to return from his Southern
trip, and will remain there until he does
return. He will then come to Fort
Worth in company with Nj. Mallory. -
What President Black wishes to see
Mr.. Gould for, or what connection this
interview will have with the Fort Worth
and Albuquerque, II any, the gentleman
did not state, though the reporter en-
deavored i'll a manner to draw him out
on that subject. The remark appeared
rather significant, though, and il may
mean much or it may mean nothing at

COTTON MANUFACTURE.
Row the Mills in the South are Hurting Those
at Baltimore


Special to the Gazette.
BALTIMORE, Md, March 30.-The
cotton manufacturers of Baltimore are
alarmed at the progress of the South in
that branch of national industry. One
of them said to-day: t'We never cared
for New England competition; it never
sell more goods in Boston than we do in
Baltimore, but it is the South that is
hurting us. Since the opening of cotton
mills in Atlanta, Ca, and other places
in the South our trade has fallen
off % per cent. It is
mistake to suppose that those
cotton mills are hurting the New Eng
land mills. It Is Baltimore that is suf-
tsring from their competition. They
have the advantage of being right at the
cotton fields; they have unlimited water
power and they have labor as cheap and
even cheaper than we can have it here.
Children they employ work seventY-two
hours week, while the law here allows
children to work only sixty hours week.
OF that. however, we do not complain,
as we would not care to have the children
work more than sixty hours.
The amount invested in cotton manu-
features here is about S., 25o 900, and
the annual product of the mills amounts
to 81 $50 900. Over 5000 hands are en-
ployed who receive annually about 81 -
600 900 in wages. The cotton manufac-
turerS OF Baltimore held q meeting last
night to discuss the situation.

RAILWAY MATTERS.

Some time since the forces at work on the Belt
Line. around the city. were drawn off and put to
work on the main line of the Fort Worth and
Albuquerque road, OF which the Belt is part.
This should not be construed TO mean that the
Belt Line was abandoned, for such is not the
case. The force was needed on the Albuquerque
at the time. and they have been doing good
work there ever since. In a short time, this
week in all probability, heavy force viii be
put on the Belt again, and the work will be
pushed abe sd until il is completed to connec-
tions with al the roads leading into Fort Worth.
The charter for another Belt line,
which was filed in Austin this week
viii cut no figure in the affairs of the one
now being built and il has been said by gentle
men who are connected with the new scheme
that it is quite probable that il the Albuquerque
folks go ahead and finish the belt line, that the
second one viii not be built, there IS no need
for two such roads At Fort Worth. But II the
one that has been started is not pushed ahead,
il is quite likely that the other company VIII be-
gin operations at once The fact of the matter IS.
q belt lhRe is needed and it win be built-n not
by the old company, by 4 new.

Cattle Losses.

The Montana Live Stock Journal in
summing up the losses sustained by the
herds in the Northwest, has the follow
ing to say:
'The losses of cattle in Alberta and
other districts north of us in Canada,
have been severe, and may probably
equal so per cent. of the cattle north of
the line and west of Manitoba. In
Oregon and Washington losses must
equal fully 20 per cent. aud may go
higher. In Northern California, where
the snow fell deep among the mountains
the losses are equal to those in Oregon.
In parts of Idaho and Nevada losses have
been over 90 per cent, and take the
whole OF the territory and state the
losses will reach % per cent. or more.
Western Wyoming and Western Colo
RADIO have also suffered, but not heavily.
In Montana there have been severe losses
in few localities, but take the state all
over the losses will not more than equal
those OF an average winter. In New
Mexico, Indian Territory and part of
Arizona, cattle have not done as we'll as
usual, and further northers will cause Sc
we're losses. The boomers entering the
Cherokee Strip may cause unexpected
losses there. The boomers seemed to have
surprised every one and it looks as If the
government would interfere, as it ought,
for the protection of the cattlemen, I'M
til they are given time to take care of
their cattle elsewhere. -
