WONDERFUL GROWTH.
What gr. C. 4. Silliman Has to Say
About Laredo.
He Pays the City Visit in September Last
and Again This Honth-ImprOve-
ments Noted.

Last week Benjamin 5. Brigg and
Swire Smith of Yorkshire, England,
managing directors OF the Land Mortgage
bank of Texas, accompanied by the
manager of the company, Mr.. c. h.
Silliman of this city, visited Austin, San
Antonio, Laredo and other cities on BUSH
ness for the company. Learning that the
gentlemen were greatly pleased with La
redo, GAZETTE reporter called on Mr..
Silliman last night and questioned him
about the trip. Mr.. Silliman spoke free
ly and candidly about the matter, and
if the people of Laredo or in
vestors in property there had heard
him they would have been very much
pleased. 81 was in Laredo in Septem-
Der, 1889, and invested $50, 900 for my
companz, said Mr.. SIlliman, Hand
when rsaw the city again last week 1
was SURPRISED. A building on which we
had a Loon of $4,000 sold short time
back for $4,000 and all ADVERTISEMENTS
we had made were mostssatisfactory.
Messrs. Brigg and Smit65xere more than
satisfied, andzso expressed themselves.
Laredo Is a w6nderfaI city with q won
derful but at thsaaine time substantial
growth. 1t was only two or three
years ago that the population
was not over 3OOg row it is 5000 or 5000.
In September Edonst believe there was
residence o4zthe Heights but now at
least fifty residences adorn this beautiful
site, and these residences are of the most
substantial character, most of them of
brick costing rom S5OO67io SIS, 200. The
electric car Ire is running, the fine new
hotel, the Hamilton, is in full blast, and
it is a good hotel too. AT the great
shops of the Mexican National 465 hands
are employed, and you may imagine
what that means for city. A large
tannery and boot and shoe factory, the
buildings of brick will soon be completed.
Work has begun on large wooden mill,
and other enterprises are under way.
Laredo has an immense territory tr ibu7s
tary to her with practically no rival, fqf
Ell Paso, the nearest town competing for
the same trade is 700 miles away. La
redo is very attractive, and contains a
population of very euterprisng men.
We were all very much impressed with
what we saw there.

A Negligent Consul General.

SpSCld1 " Inc
LAREDO, TEX. May 12.-On May 8
the victory of the Mexican troops over
the French under Macmillan in Mexico
was celebrated in Neuvo Laredo as
mentioned heretofore in these dispatches.
Through an oversight the United States
consul-general failed to fly the American
flag on that day and in consequence the
more prejudiced of the Mexican citizens
became highly incensed and claim that
the neglect was direct insult to Mexico,
while conservative parties claim it was
to say the least, very discourteous. The
Mexican press of New Laredo came out
Saturday night and Sunday night in
rabid articles condemning the consul in
very strong terms.

WASHINGTON, May 12.-There was

Mr.. Grosvenor of Ohio and Mr.. Mills,
the former charging that two years ago
Mr.. Havemeyer, the leader of the
sugar trust, captured the ways
and means committee and
got them to report bill for "free
sugar. This assertion was denied by
Mr.. Mills ana others. The sparring con-
tinued for several minutes, Mr.. Gros-
venor trying to fasten on the committee
of last year collision with Mr.. Have
meyer. Mr.. Mills aud several other
Democrats Indignantly denied the asser-
tions of Grosvenor. Finally the squabble
quieted down. Mr.. Mills said he re-
GREETED such personalities. He intended
no personal reflections, and for himself
while he would discuss the tariff question
as one of public interest affecting the
public, he would not assail anyone. He
further said that he didn't believe any
gentleman on the ways and means COM
mittee of last congress had been
improperly approached. Mr.. Nc
Kinley also conceded with this
belief, and the brief but spicy sparring
ceased.

ANSWER TO QUERY.

EDITOR BULLETIN -
MIR. Query seems to have analysed
the bricks, straw, and dirt in the f.
T. opium tins and Kahului opium
boxes and found them the same.
1t happend that the Judiciary Com
mittee is woefully ignorant OF the
art of chemistry, and therefore could
not tell the difference between one
straw and the other, or between
dirts and bricks. Perhaps our che
mist friend could explain and con-
vince the public by his analysis that
the Nor west boxes from Ka-
hului, containing the opium, were
technically the same redwood boxes
transferred from Station House to
Custom House. MIR. Query may
play the role of an optician next
time and tell us those, who testified
that those boxes were of white wood
when sent from Kahului, we're color
blind. A very plain reason why the
Marshal should be censured is that
he did not deliver the opium to be
sold as requested by Custom House
authorities on Oct. Z, 1889. DO not
try 10 shield your friend yet, Mr..
Query, the Judiciary Committee is
still abroad and may again turn up
with something very unpleasant for
you TO explain. Why didn't all the
other opium stored in the Custom
House at the date of the miracle
turn into bricks, straw, or dirt?
