Harrison,s Assurance to Cattlemen.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-Mayor Calvin
Hood of Emporia, Kan. has been here
several days in the interest of the cattle
men of the West, asking the president
that the time of the removal of cattle
from the Indian Territory be extended to
December l 4, as owing to the drouth in
the Territory and throughout the West
cattle are unfit to market, and it would
be disastrous TO ali cattlemen to enforce
the order of the removal of the cattle
from the Strip by October l. The presi-
dent has to-day answered him that when
there is presented to him written guar
antee, signed by persons having cattle
upon the Cherokee Strip, that they will
remove one-half of them on or before
the LIST day of November, 1890, and the
remaining half of cattle, together with

Resolutions Adopted and Committees APP
pointed at the Austin Meeting.

Special to the Gazette.
AUSTIN, Ten, Sept. 1.-THE state
Democratic committee, Hon. n. w.
Finley of Tyler chairman, met here to-
day. About fourteen members were
present. Mr.. Ed Kaufman is secretary
and most efficient one.
Hon. John Young Gooch OF Palestine
offered the following:
Be it resolved, by the executive COM
mittee of the Democratic party of Texas,
l. That it IS proper that there should
be q Democratic organization in every
county and in every district of every kind
in the state.
.. That in case there is or may be any
political or judicial or other divisions of
the state which have. no Democratic
chairman, then we recognize by i'm
memorial usage and long continued
precedent, that the chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee of the state has the
power to appoint chairman and cause
him to organize such districts according
to the usages and customs of the Demo-
cratic party
3. That if in case any questions shall
be presented to the chairman Of the state
Democratic executive committee for his
decision by members of the organized
Democracy of any county or district of the
state, which shall be presented through
sources satisfactory to said chairman,
and there is no expressed rule or regula-
ton to govern him, that we recognize
his power to promulgate such rule as may
seem to him proper and right, and by
his action we will be bound.
After discussion the resolution was
adopted.
Mr.. B. Bryan Of Brenham offered the
following: Be it
Resolved, that we consider the action
of the county Democratic convention of
Harris county IN passing resolutions re-
cognizing j. h. P. Gillespie as a
Democratic nominee of the judi
cial district composed Of Galveston
and Harris counties after the chair
man or the state Democratic executive
committee had passed upon said quss-
ton In appointing a Democratic chair
man for said district, as revolutionary
and as an act of characterization which
should not be recognized by Democrats.
Be it further resolved, that we approve
the action of Hon. N. W. Finley in said
matter.
Considerable discussion followed, in
which Mr.. Gooch opposed the resolu-
ton. Messrs. Bryan and Hudson spoke
in favor of the resolution, as did Mr.
Mcdonald. The resolution was adopted.

NEW YORK CENTRAL WRECK.
Bob Pinkerton Attributes the Placing of the
Distractions to the Knights.

Bob PinkertOn Attributes the Placing of the
Distractions to the knights.
ALBANY, n. Y, Sept. 6.-The leaders
of the strike persist that the train wreck
ers were not strikers, laying the blame
on every one imaginable except their
own brethren. Robert A. Pinkerton
said tonight the persons who placed the
distractions on the tracks of the New
York Central would be surely ferreted
out, and it would be found that they did
so at the instigatinn of q man high IN
the councils OF the knights. He believed
this to be one of series of contemplated
train wreckings by the same parties.
Railroad Commissioner Micheai Rich
ard, an old and experienced railroad
man, visited the scene of the wreck on
the Central road and pronounced the
placing OF distractions on both tracks to
have been the work of men who knew
what they were doing. Two men might
do the work on both tracks in ten
minutes, said Mr.. Richard. The rails
were of light make, sixty-flve pounds,
and could be handled by two men. They
were lying on the side of the roadbed.
The obstruction was in the form of q
short X and the design of the miscreants
was to bring the engine to an abrupt
stop, which would have piled the sleep
ers up on one another. 1t is difficult to
see why these plans were not fulfilled.
Superintendent Bissell received a dis
patch tonight saving that ali track of
yesterdays wreck had been removed,
and that passenger and freight trains
were running as usual.

THE MARLIN QUARANTINE.
Sheriff and Deputy Under Arrest by the Town
uarshal-The Courts to Decide the Matter.
Greater Middle Than Ever.
Special to the Gazette.


MARLIN, TEX. Sept. 5.-The Marlin
quarantine remains about the same with
the exception that now the marshal has
the sheriff under arrest and vice versa.
Upon complaint being made charging
Sheriff Ward aud his deputies with inter-
fering with the enforcement of the quar-
antlne ordinance, Mayor Shelton this
morning issued a warrant for their ar
rest, and in short while the
sheriff and his deputy were
placed under arrest by Marshal Coleman
than ever. Judge Wilson has been tele-
graphed for to hear the habeas corpus
case of City Marshal Coleman. If the
court decides the matter in favor of the
city council, and if it is deemed neces-
sary at that time, the quarantine will
certainly be enforced and very
rigidly. The city council of
Marlin honestly believes the
course it has pursued endeavoring
to enforce the quarantine ordinance in
opposition to the governor $ proclama-
ton to be right and just under the cir
cumstances. The majority, In fact
nearly all the citizens, of Marlin concur
with the city council in the action it has
taken, knowing the great and serious
damage a spread of the disease would
cause. If the courts should decide
against the city council then they will
submit cheerfully.

Drag and Beat Him MercIlessIy.
KANSAS CITY, Mo, Sept. 4.-Five
mounted and masked White Caps Tues
day night went to the house of ]. E.
Smith, preacher who lives in q lonely
piece of woods at Reno, Kan, aud
throwing a gunny sack over his head
dragged him out, and the sack was
made fast by rope to the pommeI of
saddle to one of the party, and he was
dragged through the woods for q mile at
Il fast gallop. The White Caps then
stripped Smith naked, fastened him to
the ground by means of forked sticks,
his arms and legs extended, and beat
him mercilessly with willows. He was
left unconscious and bleeding, and when
found yesterday he was unable to speak.
He was removed to neighbours house
and medical aid summoned, but it IS
doubtful If he survives. He is about
sixty-five years Of age, and the only OBJ
lection the White Caps had to him was
that had he proposed to widow of forty
five who lives in the neighborhood.

A TEST OF STRENGTH.
Business at the Southampton Docks
Now Entirely Suspended.
Between Labor and Capital William
0Brien's Nerve
Struggle Between Men and Employers.

Struggle Between Men and Employers.
Special to the Gazette,
LONDON, Sept. s.-The strike of dock laborers,
coal handlers and sailors at Southampton ia
likely to develop into a test struggle between
the unions and employers. The business at the
docks is wholly suspended, the company having
been unable AZ yet to bring working force OF
non-union men through the very effect
i've lines of the pickets which the
union men are maintaining. num-
Der OF non-union men who came in on
railway trains to-day were assaulted by the
strikers after all peRceable methods of persua-
sion had failed to turn them back. These disOr-
cerly acs grew so frequent that the authorities
sent to London for assistance, and detachment
to assist In preserving peace and protecting such
non-u MON men as could be induced to go to
work. 1t is expected the gigantic ship
owners union, recently formed, will take
up the case OF the Southampton
employers, and make this life and death strug-
gle between organized labor and organized capt.
tai. Owing to this probability the strike at
tracts the earne- attention OF all classes.
SOME SURPRISE
has been occasioned by the fact that Mr.. William
., Brien is permitted 10 travel unmolested about
Killarney, making bitter speeche> against the
government. Mr.. O'Brien himself and another
Irish leader in DAYS not long passed has been
summarily arrested and his hearers dispersed by
armed force for utterances less sedidous
than those in which the plucky journalist and
statesman is now lnOulBlng. Inc most general
ly accepted explanation of the government in
action is that, owing to the nearness of cleo
tions, Lord Salisbury does not wish to arouse
new causes of strife, at present, especially, as
Mr.. O'Bren is one of the most difficult men to
handle, owing to his shrewdness and cleverness,
in generally managing to place his oppo-
nents technically in the wrong No one
understands better than he how to entrap
usually discreet members of the royal Irish
constabulary into false steps, which involve the
government in embarrassment without much
glory or advantage of any kind to compensate
Tor the trouble. The fact that Mr.. o. Brien is
accompanied by his bride is also believed to
increase the governments indisposition to
modest him, for the sympathies of the public
might easily be aroused for him if any trouble
affecting his wife's health comfort should
grow out Of police interference and popular
violence.

agent which merely checks the paroxysms, is
the grand desiderstum wherever the endemic
scourge of malaria prevails. Quinine does not
afford this protection. The chief reason why
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters has won such i'm
meuse popularity is, that it prepares the sys-
tenn to resist the malsrial pest. This it does by
bracing and toning the physical or ganism; reg
ulating and promoting an equal flow and dis
tribution of the animal fluids, and establishing
digestion on q sound basis. Not only is fever
and ague prevented, but the worst types of the
disease are conquered by it. Such is the only
conclusion to be drawn from the overwhelming
evidence in its favor. 1t is equally efficacious
in dyspepsia, constipation, liver complaint,
general debility and rheumatic complaint, and
Is 9 reliable diuretic and neryine.
