Austin's Baseball Team.
speciaI TO the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
AUSTIN, Tex. March 24.-The item
among baseball men here is that TRULY
the second baseman, has gone back on
Austin after accepting money and sign
ing team of professional ball
players. The construction OF TRULY Is
act here is that he would rather take the
chance of being blaeklisted than suffer
the humiliation OF getting the credit of
putting on Austin a team of semi-pro-
fessional players. The Austin directory
has given the boys three or four days to
show their ability. The directory find
ing they were all nice boys, but unequal
to contest with the class Of players play
ing in the Texas league, Austin has re-
leased the players signed by TRULY, and
is to-day without team. We are now
hustling to get competent men. 1t is
claimed that the young men signed by
TRULY were deceived as to their own
ability to play in the class of the Texas
league, and are here without a dollar
1000 miles from home. Baseball men
here greatly oensure TRULY. The follow
ing players are en- route, since the re-
lease of the old team, having been en-
gagged: R. Cary, short stop, of New
York; Ed Reeder, first base, Cincinnati;
Joe O'Donnel, second base, of Michigan;
Joe Sachern, catcher, Of Pennsylvania;
Frank Behne, pitcher, of Galve ston.

The Manitoba government has decided
to grant a cash bonus of 81 900 200 to
the Hudson Bay railway, projected from
Winnipeg to Fort Churchill. It is also
expected that the Dominion government
will give substantial aid to the scheme.
Manitobans are making strenuous efforts
to secure the building of the road from
Winnipeg, but it is feared by them that
Prince Albert will be made the starting
point, and that for some years it will re-
main the southern terminus of the road.
A statement has been compiled show
ing that the st. Paul and Kansas City
road carried more grain out of Omaha
and Council Bluffs last month than all
the other roads together, although its
mileage between Omaha and Chicago is
COS miles, against less than 500 for the
other lines The tonnage of the st.

1868 for the Rock Island, 1885 for the St.
Paul, 1890 for the Northwest, 10, $50 for
the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy.

EXCURSION RATES.

,Twere Better to Abolish Them and Estab-
lish by Law Regul ar Two-cent Rate.
IF was member of the Texas leg
Islature'' remarked an old time passen-
ger man to a GAZETTE reporter yester-
day, al would introduce bill fixing the
passenger rate in Texas at two cents per
mile, and prohibiting excursion trains at
strange to you, coming as it does from a
railroad man, but it would really be the
best for the railroads that such law
was in existence.
Take the year in and the year out,
and / honestly believe that Texas rail-
roads will not average that much for
carrying passengers. Look at it this
way: Here was the cattle convention,
the rate to which was one and one half
cents, or one fare for the round
trip! In short time the doc
tors will meet here, and the rate
to that meeting will be one and one-half
cents or one fare for the round
trip; then there will be the hor-
tcultural meeting at Austin to
which the same rate will be given;
next the meeting of the state teachers,
the same rate prevailing; the meeting of
the Southern Baptist association at Fort
Worth in May is given the same rate;
the Spring Palace comes next with one
fare rate; the Dallas fair will get the
same, and so on to the end of the year
until the travel to these affairs will go
ahead of the travel during the rest of
the year. Now If you could only secure
the number of people travelling in Texas
at three cents per mile and the number
travelling on one and one half cents, and
average the thing up you would find that
the average would fall below two cents.
"There is one thing did not mention,
and it is this: number of cases came
up where the maximum rate from all
points in Texas has been, and will be So,
and it frequently occurs that 800 miles
both ways or 600 miles the round trip
only costs So, putting down the rate less
than one cent per mile. This rate of one
and one half cents, and sometimes less,
is not TO any great extent beneficial to
the usual travel, but tits a kind of holt
day business, and there are but few bus
mess men who, on business intent, take
advantage OF IL.
NOW, I think that il the tIo-cent
rate should be obtained and excursion
rates be prohibited, that there would be
Just as much travel on holiday occasions.
Just as much satisfaction to those who
travelled; and l am sure it would be
much more satisfactory TO the public at
large, and more profitable TO the rail-
roads in the state. Excursion rates are
really ruinous TO railroads. as they give
the scalpeF chance to handle the excur-
sion tickets, thereby cutting the rail-
roads. in thousands Of cases, out OF sev-

A Conference Suggested.

VIENNA, March 24.-It is reported here
that Count Kaln6ky, imperial prime
minister, has suggested a conference to
be held between Emperor William, En-
peror Francis Joseph and King Humbert
as the only means of allaying the anxiety
prevailing in Austria and Italy in re-
gard to the situation arising from Prin ce
Bismarck resignation. 1t is hoped
Emperor William will agree to attend
such conference, and that he will bring
with him Gen Won Caprivi, the new
chancellor. Count Kalnoky and Signor
Crispi, Italian prime minister, would
also be present at the conference in case
Chancellor Won Caprlvi attended. The
Austrian government considers that En-
peror William decliuation to attend
such conference would cause trouble and
uneasiness throughout Europe, especially
would this be the case in the Balkan
states, in regard to which it is reported
the governments of Russia and Germany
are tending to an agreement at the ex-
pense of Bulgaria.

LONDON, March 24.-Of the five par
liamentary elections which are now
pending, Liberal Nationalist coalition is
sure to win one, that in West Cavan, to
fill the vacancy caused by the death of
Joseph j. G. Biggar, and reasonably
certain to win another seat for Carna-
won, Wales, formerly held by a Con-
sentative.
In the contest for the East Windsor
seat the Liberals will doubtless greatly
reduce the Tory majority but not sufti-
GENTLY to elect their candidate, while in
Orange, the stronghold of East Down,
the Conservatives will maintain their
supremacy, and possibly increase their
majority.
In the Ayr district, where the election
will take place tomorrow, the contest
will be very close. at the last election
in that constituency, which was held on
June l5, 1889, John Sinclair, Gladston-
ian, was elected by a majority OF fifty
three in total vote of 1883. But the
Tory candidate is immensely popular
among the electors, and may possibly
pull through Both sides are working
REGARDED AS FIsHY.
Balfour's Irish land scheme, exacting
local security, is regarded even among
the Tories as extremely fishy, and has
aroused tremendous opposition, notably
among the Unionists. So strong is this
feeling that Lord Salisbury has deemed
it necessary to urge Lord Harrington to
return instauter, and in obedience to
this su mmons, the dissident leader
left Cairo for England to-day to assist
in bolstering up the tottering fortunes of
the government. In addition to the
land scheme, the tithes bill and other
new legislation which the government
purposes launching upon the house, the
cabinet is discussing a plan OF assisted
education which is cure to raise pro-
tracted and bitter debate. Altogether
the government lines so far as the
present sess ion is concerned are not cast
in pleasant places.

Said a Denver gentleman Yesterday:
al came to Fort Worth as a delegate to
the cattle con vention, and took particu-

route. One subject claimed my special
attention, which is the wonderful work
done by the Panhandle bureau of immi-
grafton, under the management of Gen.
R. A. Cameron. l have been intimately
acquainted with him for nineteen years
when he was the moving spirit in making
thriving towns and cities of Greeley Fort
Collins, Colorado City, Canon City and
Manitou in Colorado. The site of
these places in 1870 was prairie land
the home of the cactus, the abodes of
prairie dogs and cayotes. To-day each
is thriving, growing, surrounded by
substantial population, and each town
power in the state. All along the route
of the Denver, Texas and Fort
Worth he is displaying the same
indomitsble energy in presenting induce
ments 10 people desiring new homes in
the growing West and Southwest.

families are coming in, all growing out

suasive powers of this man, who has

a Perplexing Problem.

There Is one perplexing problem all
trunk railway lines have to face. 1t Is
this: When they are prosperous and
there is a surplus at the end of the year,
shall they pay dividends to their stock
holders with that surplus? Or shall they
take it and construct branch lines as
feeders to their own, in regions where
such lines will not pay expenses as yet,
but only can hope TO Go so in future?
The railroad management have to take
into consideration also the fact that If
they do not construct these expensive
and poor paying branches rivals will,
and they thus be shut out altogether
from a given territory. Will the Texas
and Pacific face the music?-[ San Angelo

of course, on the inducements offered It
to do so. It is believed that Fort Worth
