He Strongly Intimates That Now is the
Time to Go to Work.

eyes. sir. l am still sitting around
waiting for something to turn up, -
said John Howard to a representative
OF THE STATESMAN yesterday evening.
"Why don't you turn loose and dig
up something and not wait for it to
come to your" was asked of Howard.
ASK me something easy. You had
better see the advertising committee,
They can inform you why we are not
letting the outside world know all
about Austin and its advantages and
resources"
"Salary going on2" was asked.
ooh, yes. No trouble about salary,
and by the way that is quite an item
of expense, $25Oper month figures out
fraction over IS per day, and as I
never have had reputation for being
ornamental don't very well see how
the good people of your city can get
even on me unless they put me to
work"
ain the interest of truth" continued
Howard, II must say that | don't
think L can earn SO per day for Austin
or any other city by sitting around.
No; | am no wall flower and if the
citizens of Austin expect to make
money out of my services, which /
naturally infer they do or they
wouldn't employ me, they had better
be up and doing. Go see the commit
tee. Don't ask me, what's the mat
terY They can give you full particu-
lars and no doubt will take pleasure in
going into details. Yes, sir, as you
say, ought not to complain if they
don't. Austin is a delightful place
TO live in ard 1 am living on
the "fat of the land" so to speak.
again, speaking of advertising"
said John, "the citizens of Austin
were. think. fortunate in their selec
ton OF committee. have run over
the list carefully and have met the
gentlemen in person and am 6 Ting
quite well acquainted with them, and
l do believe they have, aud know
they should have the confidence of
the people. They are all workers and
thoroughly reliable and responsible
gentlemen. 1t must be that the peo-
pie don't quite understand the work
we have before us or its Importance,
or something. Well, as l said in the
start, give it up, and will have to re.
fer you to the committee and the
people. You know them as well or
better than l do. Ii it was fly time
we might have some excuse to offer for
taking our time, but at this season
OF the year. There is no apology to
offer Tor losing a days time. We
ought to be out rustling for all in
sight and will have to in order to show
any good results this winter.
Now "sub rosa" this is confidential

or Dallas style, and let us have reg

and then buckle on the harness and

the people away from home what we
are made of.
Yes, by all means let us do this or
take in our shingle and say 1--WE are

AN ADDRESS

To the People Of Austin and Vicinity
At a mass meeting of the citizens
held on the Goth ult., the undersigned
were appointed committee charged
with the duty of advertising and max
ing known to the masses of the people
seeking homes, health pleasure and
investment of capital, the many adj
vantages offered by our city and sur
rounding country, and if possible, put
such agencies al work as will insure q
participation on the part of every
class of this community in the bene
fits of the greatest era of progress
and prosperity upon which Texas
has entered.
The causes leading our people tc
this action are many, but 80 well
known they need not be enumerated
here.
Your committee, recognizing them
has responded to your call. On the
day after its appointment an organiza
ton was begun, which is now COM
pleted.
We have entered upon the work
your work-the work OF the people Of
Austin and its vicinity-with earnest.
ness and zeal, determined, if possible
to carry out the trust you have re-
posed in us.
We are now ready for work. We
ask you to supply us with the means
wherewith we may accomplish this
work of yours.
We have organized ourselves and
co.laborers for Austin's welfare, for a
six months campaign. Many of our
public spirited citizens have responded
nobly with subscription to be paid
monthly during the next six months.
We ask you, each and every citizen,
to give us your aid by subscribing at
once what you are willing to pay dur
ing the next six months to this cause.
We promise that the work of the
committee will be economically ad-
ministered and its business conduct
preserved of record so that you may
ave at any time an account OF our
stewardship.
1t is impossible for us to map out or
formulate our work until we know
something of what our resources will
be.
The amount now at our disposal
would only suffice for scope of work
far beneath the dignity of such city.
Our trust is that each citizen will take
a loyal pride in enrolling his name
with his offering-no matter though it
be small, upon the roster of helpers in
this grand work.
Fellow citizens, Austin has done
and is doing much in her municipal
capacity for herself. She needs now
work which cannot be so done, and
calls to you through US. Let your
response be worthy of yourselves and
the cause.
I TnUrny Dr.

been taken recently by Consular represents

many to quell the disquietude growing out
of the apparent efforts of the former King.
Mstaafa, to regain his lost power. The
Consuls issued proclamation warning the
discontented natives against forming any
intrigues to place Mataafa in power, and
declaring that Malietoa had been recognized
as the King of Samoa by the three Powers,
and that any Samoan villages that should
rebel against him would be severely pun
ished. This proclamation. signed by the
three Consuls, was printed in the Samoan
language and distributed throughout the
islands.
United States Consul General Sewall
went at once to the Island of Savoy on the
Man-of-War Mohiean and called meeting
of the chiefs of the surrounding districts.
The chiefs assured Mr.. Sewall that they ac-
,knowledged Malietoa as the King, and that
they had no intention of doing anything
that would cause trouble on the islands.
Mr.. SewalI expressed himself as satisfied,
but warned the chiefs that any encourage
ment to the disafected persons would be
severely punished. Dz Steubet, the Ger
man Consul General, also visited the Savoy
Island and gave the chiefs similar warn
ing. These visits are believed to have re-
suited in much good, though a number OF
the natives are reported to be still in state
of unrest

ing on, was in the shape of bulletins from
the river which that gentleman received,
containing startling information about the
condition of the road up there. The bulle-
tins were dated from the headquarters of ID.
A. GAG, at Albany. According to them this
was the state of affairs at Albany:
Engine off track at East Albany delayed
traffic for six hours; another engine with
two cars, through mismenagement of green
hands, blocked road for two hours; one scab
killed at Albany, owing to blunder of green
hands; two freight trains left Albany, in
stead of IL, the usual number; six got IN,
instead of Ii, the usual number; 80 men
in outside and 80 men in inside shops,
instead of LOO in each, as formerly;
SO men in car department, instead of
$50; 95 men in locomotive department, in
stead of $50; 20 men in yard service in the
place OF 120 men. Scout reports that only
four trains went through Albany on We'd

convene in San Francisco in few days and
might act regarding the Central strike.

THEY WANT OUR PORK.
FRENCH NEWSPAPERS POINT OUT A MIS-
TAKE OF THE GOVERNMENT.

First Prize Won by the American Hog Mt
the MISUNDERSTANDING the Pretext
for Edmunds' Meat Inspection Bill-Toe
Late Now.
PARIS, August 3o.-The Journal Des
Debdts, in publishing the letter of Mr.
Whitelaw Reid, United States Minister, to
NJ. Ribot, Minister of Foreign Affairs, con-
cerning the prohibition Of American pork,
says: French prohibition of American
pork seems unreasonable in view OF
its having last year received the
highest prize at the Exposition.
Under these circumstances we think,
in fact, we know, that the French govern
ment will be disposed TO remove the pretext
for the meat inspection bill introduced by
Senator Edmunds, especially as the sanitary
examination which the Americans propose
offers every guarantee to French consumers.
It is improbable, however, that the French
government will withdraw the prohibition
before the reassembling of the Chambers. "
The Temps says that Mr.. Reid's letter
may be considered as in some sort an expose
of the motives that led to the recent motions
that led to retaliation. lie Paris says: "1f
the measures of retaliation should be rigor-
ously enforced it would cut off the sale OF
400, 900, 900 francs worth of French prod
ucts annually. For such an interest it is
we'll worth while to sacrifice something. The
public health will not be-damaged by ad-
mitting few tons of American pork"
The Figaro thinks France was wrong
both in theory and in practice in prohibit
ing the importation Of American pork, but
it holds that il is now impossible to move
backward, and especially is it impossible
to take the attitude of yielding before the
economic threats of the Americans. what
Is needed" says the Figaro, "is simply the
courage to wait and see what results are
going to befall France. We. cannot pre-
vent any person from closing his doors to
our products, but we can, in return, not
open our doors too widely to him."
The Moniteur Universal points to the recent
address of NJ. Ribot as proving that the
Government is convinced that 1t must
abandon the idea of prohibiting it. This
conclusion, it says, was reached after the
Government had heard from NJ. Boustan,
the French Minister at Washington, that if
France persisted in prohibiting the importa-
ton of American pork, it would have to
submit to a heavy advance in the duties on
its products, particularly silk, wines and
works of art.
La Lonterne asks what the French wine
growers now think of the situation to which
their legislation has led. It believes they
will probably soon be convinced that there
is little advantage in protecting French
swine, and, in the interest of beet growers
and distillers, putting prohibitive duties on
American corn, if the result is to lose their
own market.

TORONTO, August 3o.-A special cable to
the Globe from London says:
Attention is being attracted to an article
by Sir William Whiteway, the Newfound-
land Prime Minister, and his colleagues in
q new number Of the Fortnigbtly Revielo
on the Newfoundland question. The most
notable statement by the writers is that after
placing the colony's case before the colonial
Office six weeks ago and since then diligently
urging the necessity for an early decision.
they confess that they fear that not much
progress has been made in the negotiations
with the French. They warn the English
public of the great danger of trouble arising
if matters are allowed to DRIFT as heretofore,
and say that the probabilities OF serious
conflict between the French and British
fishermen are by no means remote.

PHILADELPHIA, August 30-A half
dozen street fakirs, who had been induced
to accept several copies of Count Tolstoi's
"Kreutzer Sonata" as q possible profitable
commodity. found themselves in the dock at
the City Hall to-day. They are charged
with selling improper literature on the
streets. The raid was the result of COM
plant made by. Josiah W. Leeds to Super
intendent of Police Lamon on Friday. The
work had been excluded from the United
States mails by the Postmaster General, and
an effort had been made to prevent its sale
in New York.
Basing his action ON the act Of 1876,
which prohibits the sale of such liter
ature, Police Superintendent Lamon de-
tailed Special Officers Carpenter, White
man, McKenty and Murphy, in citi-
zen's clothing. to bring in all fakirs
selling the book. There was hearing in
the case before Magistrate Smith. The
court ruled that the work was improper, and
held the defendants in $500 bail each, with
the remark that every person caught selling
the book on the street would be arrested.

Organization In This Country
rBY DUNLAP's CABLE coMPANY.l
DUBLIN, August 3O.-The plans of the
Irish-American convention to be held in
America are now completed. Messrs. Dill
Ion and o'Brien will be accompanied by
two other Irish members and the whole
party will be under strict instructions from
headquarters. The method of warfare
adopted by the special commission, and the
evidence given concerning the movements
of the Irish delegates and their associates in
America, have rendered this step necessary.
This organization, which formerly well
coined Irish members with open arms, will
now be ignored, and the delegates must be
content to be the guests of the various
branches of the national league. Import
ant changes are to be made in the method of
transmitting subscriptions to the central
association. It has been customary to send
the different sums to one center in America
and thence to Dublin. In future the GEN.
tral office will be abolished and each branch
will forward its subscriptions direct to
Dublin.
