TEXAS REPUBLICANS.
They Have Gathered at San Antonio in
Full Force-Harmony Prevails.
Some Predict Compromises Between the
Black and White Factions, but the General
Expectation Is a split.
Special to the Gazette.

| Special to the Gazette.
SAN ANTONIO, TEX. Sept. 2.-The
city is rapidly filing with Republicans,
and around the hotels is already
seen an unusual stir and activity as
the politicians hold informal caucuses
TO discuss the plans of organization and
procedure. All seems to be- harmonious
enough on the surface, and the lily
whites and the colored brethren seem to
dwell together in peace and unity. There
is however, very plainly an undercurrent
of bitter feelings between the two fac
tions and nothing but some unforeseen
agency can prevent the food gates
of animosity and hatred being opened
Tomorrow at the convention. There
are some who predict a compromise
between the % dissatisfied elements,
but each faction is as determined as at
the beginning and nothing but
WIDENING OF THE PARTY RUPTURE
! can possibly occur. If the lily whites
are sat down upon rs the opposition con-
fidently expect, IL is not at all improb-
able that the result will DO
the holding of another state convention.
The leaders of the colored faction in this
city seem to be perfectly cool, and one of
them stated to reporter this morning
that il their delegation met with defeat
IN the state convention they would
take their medicine like men aud
permit the majority to rule.
The Republicans will hold q caucus to-
night to arrange for the selection of tenn
porary executive officers. Charles w.
Ogden of San Antonio is spoken of as
permanent chairman; S. c. Mccoy
for temporary chairman. The league
will also hold caucus and name those
they desire 10 have chosen for temporary
and permanent officers. 1t is probable
that there will be but two candidates for
nomination for governor. Web Flanagan
and Judge Rector.
The Lily Whites held secret caucus at
Mission Garden tonight. They were
chairmaned by A. r. Sturgewell. James
r. Newcomb made speech in which he
said if the blacks trlumphed in the
convention Tomorrow he for one
was prepared to raise tho ban
ner of revolt. Rem of Travis
made fifteen minutes talk. There was
lot of other oratory. They finally Rd-
journed without action beyond deciding
TO have another secret caucus Tomorrow
night when they will formulate their
plan of campaign in the convention.

THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC.
Placing the Roadbed in Shaps for Fast Freight
Traffic Across the Continent.
Special to the Gazette.

Traffic Across the Continent.
Special to the Gazette.
SAN ANTONIO, TEX, Sept. 2.-For
two years past the Southern Pacific rail-
way company has been quietly improving
its tracks TO a standard where sixty miles
an hour would be safe. Laborers have
been at work at all points be-
tween New Orleans and FL
Paso, and on the San Francisco end
the same state OF affairs has obtained.
The only portion of the track which re-
mains unprotected is between San An
tonic and Glidden. tomorrow the COM
pany starts out a couple of steam plows
and that part of the road will be
raised two feet. The California
fruit traffic is the motive behind
the movement. Southern Pacific freight
trains from the Golden Gate to New Or
leans average twenty-five miles an hour.
1t is intended to run them at a speed of
forty-five miles an hour straight across
the continent. By this means the COM
pany will be able to put California fruit
on the Atlantic seaboard three days out
of the orchards. The officials consider
the scheme entirely feasible and are
awaiting the experiment with much iu-
terest. The first three tightening freights
will be run the last of this month.

dells held post norton and gave it as
their opinion that the infants death was
caused by straugulation. On this opin-
ior the coroner rendered his verdict and
caused the parties as above stated to be
arrested. This theory however. was ex-
pioded By the defe3se when they proved
that the infant died in the lap
of lady who had been called in

death. The defendant is represented by

A OLERGYMAN's LOVE LETTER.
He Wrote it to Another Mans Wife
and Got Into Trouble.
From the Nelo York sun.

anu SOO ALbO 4EOuOles
From the Nec York sun
RICHMOND, Feb. during this week
there has been much excitement here over
the fact that the Rev. j. r. Sturgis. the
popular pastor of Trinity Methodist church.
had written letter to the wife of a mem
Der of his congregation. The letter was
given by the wife to her husband, and he
complained, whereupon the presiding elder
suspended Mr.. Sturgis. At reopening of
the case the committee decided that, owing
to sickness, Mr. Sturgis was not responsible
for the utterances made in the letter They
therefore restored him to the ministry
This evening the husband of the lady, feel
ing aggrieved at the action of the commit
tee, made the letter Mr.. Sturgis had written
to his wife public. 1t is as follows:
81 hope you will forgive this and destroy
it after reading. 1 know you would forgive
it if you could know how sad l have been

The husband also publishes with the letter
the following certificate from Mr.. Sturg is:

to be very much debiltated from over
study and nervous exhaustion.

TIE LAND OF THE RISING SUN.
Something About Modern Persia and
the Reforms Introduced by the
Present Shah.
From the American.

From the American
There has recently appeared at Dresden
an interesting popular account of the Shah
and the modern Persians, by Camille Nor
gan and Fritz Burger. Nassr-eddin (pre.
server of the faith) Shah was born in 1880.
and assembled the throne in 1913 He did
not stand in the good graces of his fat her.
who entirely neglected the future rulers
education. Yet the shah has ALWAYS been
the champion of reform and of progressi We
ideas, ideas which have at every point been
opposed by the priests and the conserva-
tives generally. 1t WAS in connection with
his reforms that the shah undertook his
much talked of visits TO Europe. He
established diplomatic relations with all the
European courts aud with the United
States, introduced a regular system OF coin.
age, unknown before, and started a postal
and telegraph service. In domestic matters
he retains the customs of MS ancestors His
harem consists of four legitimate wives and
about 100 concubineS. He has great winter
ana summer palaces, the chief of the former
being situated at Teheran.
In Persia, as in Russia and Turkey. tho
sovereign exercises absolute authority. He
is assisted by six ministers who nave charge
| respectively of foreign affairs, internal ar
lars. education, Justice, public works, and
finance. There is also Il chief admiral who
does not, however, rank with the ministers.
Persia Is divided into twenty-three prov
inces, each with its own governor In add
ton TO the governor each province has a
local secretary who resides in the chief city
OF the province. The mal-administration
from winch all oriental countries suffer. is
chiefly due TO the governors Of provinces.
1t was not at all an unusual thing In times
past for governor to seize as his own prop
erty ali the women and girls whose an
pearance pleased his fancy. For such acts
OF the governors the central authorities are
usually held responsible, though they are
purely the acts of local officers over whom
the central governments exercise little real
control This class of officers has been
much improved by the practice now in
vogue OF selecting only princes of the royal
blood. Since then acts of oppression have
almost entirely ceased, and popular uprjs-
ngs no longer take place.
The annual revenue of Persia is about
S55,OOO,O00 The royal army consists of CO.
GOD men, who are divided into regular anu
irregular troops Every male Persian is
liable to military service during his entire
lifetime. AS matter Of fact, however, he
usually serves three. or at most, four years.
Since 1880 there has been in existence in
Teheran military academy whose cur
ucuIum includes mathematics, physics and
mechanics, history, geography, tactics and
a study Of French AID English. unique
arm of the service is the camel artillery.
The animals arc exceedingly well-trained
and the artillery extremely effective. There
is powder factory and arsenal near
TeteTan.

he has the power of curing the kings evil.
All that Is necessary to effect cure is that
tue marcou should breathe upon the part
affected, or that the sufferer should touch
the mark of the heur-de-lis. OF all the
marcus of the Orleannais he of Ormes is
best known and most celebrated. Every
