The chute is 30 feet wide on this

it safe to say that there is enough in

The Cotton Compress.

The cotton compress, recently start
ed to work at squeezing the fleecy
staple, is working well, considering
the disadvantages it is compelled to
labor under. To commence work
with the opening of the season the
management were obliged to put in
the machinery before the building it
self was completed; it is without
roof and men and machinery are ex-
posed to the weather, but the plant is
doing valiant work, nevertheless, and
it has territory tributary to it that
will run it to its full capacity. A
large quantity of compressed cotton
has been shipped to mills in the city
of Mexico, and other points in the re-
public of Mexico.

Central American Union.

CHICAGO, August 2s. - G. A.
Schultz, of Nicaragua, who is in this
city, says there can never be a union
of the five republics in Central Amer
lea, because there are too many indi-
vidual interests at stake. He said:
Suppose Salvador and Guatemala
were to submit to arbitration, what
then? Nicaragua and Costa RIGA
submitted a dispute to President
Cleveland, and when he decided In
Costa Rica's favor, Nicaragua declin-
ed to abide by the decision. And
this unsettled state of things will con-
tinue until the foreign capital becomes
large enoug to control things. Work
ON the Nicaragua Canal is going
ahead with a vim, all effort being
now conferred in building the harbor
at Greytown. l rode through the I'M
completed jetty just before l came
away, on the first steamer that had
entered the harbor in two years.
The depth of the water is not seven
feet. When the harbor is completed
vessels which now have to anchor on

then the work of digging the canal
will begin. consider it an excellent
investment and an enterprise sure of
success, if ample means are furnish

A Shoe Reform.

1t is curious fact, but fact never
theless, that there is a few Mexicans
in this town who have never worn
shoes of the kind commonly In use.
Their nearest approach to foot gear is
a sort of sandal, tied on the foot by
strings, piece of leather covering
the upper part of the foot, leaving
the foot free lateral play, all the
material being fished out of some
trash pile. But this fashion in foot
wear is doomed to become obsolete,
for there exists an oath-bound organi-
cation formed lately, that has for its
purpose its eradication, whose men,
bers are enjoyned to remove them
from every Mexican they meet. Their
first victim was encountered yester-
day. The sandals were cut of, his
feet washed and inserted In pair of
bran-new brogan shoes. The recip-
lent OF their generosity walked Oft
quite proudly in his new acquisitions.
but at night his feet were a sorry

number of new recruits. The Tacoma
(Wn.) Camp have arrived this morn
ing and were received with great

afternoon was participated IN by 1000
members of the order, and the Grand

CHICAGO, August 2S.-A new en-
terprise, involving million dollars,
has been entered into by Nelson Nor
ris, the packer. The new scheme is
the establishment of slaughter and
packing houses as we'll as stock yards
at the sea board, east and west. On
Monday the Interstate Stock Yards
company, the name of the new or
ganization, filed orders with
the state department at Tren-
ton, n. j., with capital of
one million dollars. The company
will at once begin building new
houses in New Jersey, where all meat
for foreign export across the Atlantic
will be Slaughtered. Heretofore this
trade had been supplied by Morris,
of Chicago, the cattle being slangh-
tered here shipped in refrigerator cars
to the seaboard. 1t is known that
the difficulties with the men employed
at the stock yards have had much
to do with this establishment of
slaughter houses on the coast. In
San Francisco Morris will build
slaughter houses, canning estab.
lishment and stock yards. This will
protect his western export trade.
These houses will reduce the loss by
strike at any one point to a minimum.
The object Of the new departure is
also to extend the dressed beef
trade to fields not yet opened up.
The Oriental capitals and many
islands OF the Pacific ocean have here
tofore been strongly closed to the
American dressed beef industry, and
it is intended to open trade with
these points.

GERMANS WILL CELEBRATE

The Sixth of October in Great Style.
The Germans of this city were sur
prised, and our only German daily
was astonished at the announcement
which was made exclusively in yes
terday's LIGHT, to the effect that the
Teutonic contingent of this communi-
ty, would take steps to celebrate the
German Day.
In response to the invitations sent
out by the Krieger Verein to the var
ious German societies to attend last
nights meeting, a number of gentle
men were present, representing nine
out of our thirteen German societies
and one of the fire companies. The
following societies were represented:
Turner's, Krieger Verein, Jaegerlust
and Frohsinn and Maennerchor sing
ing societies, Arbeiter Verein, Har-
monia lodge, Schleicher lodge of
Chosen Friends, and Fire Company
No. |.
Mr.. Jacob Weber was elected presi-
dent and Emil Hainz, of the Krieger
Verein, secretary. A committee con-
sisting of Chas. HeuermanH, August
Peters and Ernst Rische, was appoint
ed to ascertain the opinion of the
leading German citizens on this mat
ter and find what support they would
give it. After lengthy discussion,
during which several of the partici-
pants raked The Freie Presse over the
Goals for its indifference regarding
this celebration and for its past oppo-
sition to the same, it was de-
cided to call a second meet
ing on September Sth. Mean
while the various German societies
will hold meetings aud decide upon
the question of participating in the
celebration.
The meeting called for September
Sth, is open to the representatives of
the various societies AMI all others
who wish to attend. The sentiment
seems to be that the Germans of this
city ought to follow the example set
by Austin and Houston and get up
All immense kind of Volks celebra-
ton, the idea being, something grand
or nothing at all and " it'll this view
in mind, the officers and the COM
mittee will settle down to work at
once.
"The object of the celebration of
this day is to ever keep fresh in mind
the landing of the first German
colony in America, under pastor
Pistorius, at German town, October
9th, 1888. The Irishmen celebrate
their st. Patricks day, the Mexicans
their Independence day, the Italians
their fall of Rome, the French, their
fall of Bastile, why should we not
celebrate the landing of our fore
fathers in this country" said one
of the participants to reporter.
Last year this anniversary was
quite extensively celebrated in st.
Louis and other cities of the northern
states, and this year will be celebra-
ted more extensively in that section
of our country while its influence is
also spreading rapidly southwark.
Victoria, Austin, Houston and Gal
weston will celebrate, as well as the
first mentioned city, in which we live.

That TOkay Fire.

PEsTH, August 2S-Further adj
vices from the fire district state that
the fire began at night. The flames
were famed by light wind that was
blowing at the time. All the public
buildings were destroyed. The in
habitants are epcamped in the fields
under canvas tents sent from the
nearest military station, and amid
piles of lumber, furniture, etc. The
greatest distress prevails. The fire
has spread to three other villages
and is still raging.

Russia's Torpedo Boat.

WASHINGTON, August 2S.-Accord-
ing to the Journal, published by the
Society of Naval Engineers for the
current quarter, the fastest torpedo
boat extant is the Adler, torpedo
dispatch boat built after new type
introduced by Schichau, of Germany,
for the Russian government. She is
similar in principle to the Italian
boats Aquilo, Niblo and Falko. The
hull is l52 feet Z inches long, II feet
beam and about $50 tons Displacement.
The engines are twin screws, triple
expansion, OF about 1900 indicated
horse power. There are two locomC-
tive boilers. IL is reported that she
made a mean speed during six runs
over the measured mile of PA knots.
This beats the best record of our little
Cushing and all the Spanish boats,
which have hitherto taken the lead
in the point OF speed, and makes the
Russian government the pOssessor of
the fastest little craft in the world.
