The Silver Question,

The silver question has caused the presi-
dent of late to do deal of hard thinking.
He wants to be reelected. and he realizes
that the free coinage sentiment in Republi-
can ranks is very strong. This is the ex-
PLANTATION of the rulnors which are afioat
regarding the promise of the president
while in Colorado to approve the free COIN
gress. The president apparently did
not go quite so far, bnt there
is reason to believe he has
expressed a disposition to sign the bill pro-
viding for free coinage of American silver
mines. He has been discussing the subject
for hours with his intimate friends, and he
seems to feel that something must be done
to placate the silver producing state. His
supreme effort will be to put off the re-
sponsibility of signing or vetoing the
free coinage bill. He is hoping
the senate will come to his
relief and defeat the free coinage PROPOSE
ton there. ii free coinage was to pass
both houses business interests would be
subjected to period of doubt and anxiety
as to its fate The earnest protest of the
business men might restore the presidents
backbone to something like its firmness
of last winter He was wavering
upon the question, and wavering becauee
he secs strong sentiment in his party for
free coinage He is not concerned that his
chances relied on would not be good if he
vetoed, even if Cleveland We're the Dem
ocratic candidate. The presidents theory
in regard to this is that the Democrats
would vote their ticket with their old time
loyalty, in spite of their views on
silver coinage, while many Republicans
would drift into the third party because of
its declaration for free silver.

Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, June 13.-There is 4 trial
in progress in chihuahua, Mex, the out
come of which is looked for with good
deal of interest by state department
officials. a party OF lawless Mexicans
crossed over into Texas and attacked a
ranch for the purpose OF robbery, killing
the rancher and wounding his son. On
their return to Mexican soil they were ar
rested by Chihuahuan authorities and put
on trial in Mexico for murder committed
in the United States. This brings up
again, though in more agreeable form,
the question of extraditional jurisdiction
claimed by Mexico, and so vigorously dis
puted by Secretary Bayard in the Cutting
case, Cutting was arrested in Mexico for
ibeling Mexican citizen in the United
States. Under the United States law no
person can be tried here for an offense
committed in foreign country. The
Mexican law is different. 1t permits the
trial of offenders captured in Mexico for
otfenses committed outside the territory. If
the trial of the alleged mwderers at
Chihuahua should result in their conviction
and punishment for the crime against the
United States citizens, perpetrated in the
United States, it might lead to the consid-
GRAFTON of an eXtradition treaty between the
United States and Mexico for mutual pre-
vention and punishment of crime on the
border

STILL A MYSTERY.
No Further Developments Regarding the
Disappearance of johnson.

Considerable interest has been manifested
during the past day or two over the diSap-
pearance of one George Z. Johnson from
Chicago. kilograms have been received
here regarding his disappearance. and it is
thought that the person named in the
telegram is identical with Gideon E. John
son. 4 young travelling man well acquainted
in Fort Worth. Mr.. a. A. Green of this
city some days ago received the following
letter from Mr.. johnson:
INDIANAPOLIS. May 29, 1891.
A. A Green, Esq, Fort Worth. Tex.
DEAR SIR--I go from here Monday to
Chicago and will start to Fort Worth early
next week. l hope my notes are being
promptly paid. There is no place ike Fort
Worth for me. My wife and babies are
well. They will probably spend the sum-
mer here. Give my regards to the boys
Yours as ever, GID E. JOHNSON.
No reason can be assigned for the
disaspearance of Mr.. Johnson Financially,
his affairs were in the best of condition,
and his friends fear foul play. In fact, it is
known that ". F. Lake of this city met
Johnson in the rotunda of the Palmer
house, and in conversation with him he
learned that Johnson had $500 or more on
his person which he in tended paying Mrs.
s. NJ Hunt, who lives at fiat
c.: College Grove avenue. His
opinion is that johnson has
been murdered for his money. as it is rea-
sonable TO suppose that he had more than
the $500 with him. The following Asso-
ciated press dispatch from Chicago con-
firms the fear that he has been foully dealt
with:
CHICAGO Ill, June 13-Gid E. johnson
of Fort Worth, Tex, a young travelling
man, has been missing since one week ago
yesterday from the Palmer house, where
he arrived June l. He is believed to have
had lots of money and foul play is feared.

NEWSPAPER CHANGES
Which Have Startled the Boys on News
paper Row


paper Row.
New YORK, June THE changes on
newspaper row during the past few DAYS
have been rather surprising to the knowing
ones who were telling their friends in con-
tidence that Col. Cockerill and Manager
George W. Turner, late of the World, would
soon join forces and give New York a new
and wonderful morning paper.
Turner, who has been the publisher of
the World since Joseph Pulitzer bought it,
and the man credited by his friends with
making the paper what it is. yesterday
moved around to the Recorder, in which
paper he has purchased an interest along
with Col. Charles H. Taylor, owner of the
Boston Globe. Mr.. Turner. 1t is under
stood, assumes the general management of
the Recorder. What changes. if aay. will
be made in the editorial rooms is not known
John Dillon, from the St. Lonis Post Dis
patch, succeeds Turner as manager of the
World. Pulitzer is on the ocean homeward
bound. He will arrive tomorrow 1t is
said that his eyesight has been fully
restored and that he is coming home to take
charge of the World in person There is
anothnr story, however, to the effect that
Pulitzer no longer owns any stock in the
World. having disposed of it for the build
ing in which the paper is printed But as
his name is still at the head OF the editor
lal column, the latter storyis probably not
true.
Frank Munsey has sold the Continent,
and it is announced that the same syndicate
that purchased The Commercial Adver-
tser for Col. Cockerill, also bought the
Continent. and that the two papers will be
consolidated and publish morning and
afternoon editions
Bradford Merrell, formerly managing
editor of the Philadelphia Press. has ac-
cepted the same position on the New York
Press, the protection organ.
There are many rumorS of others changes.
but most of them probably have little or no
foundation.
1t seems to be generally believed that
Col. Cocllerill will make his paper a tariff
reform. anti-Tammany Democratic organ
That is the only politics involved in any of
the recent newspaper changes

Neimeyer's Condition.

Reports from the bedside of Charles Nei-
meyer are to the effect that he is resting as
easily as could be expected. Yesterday
morning the stitches in the wound in his
side We're removed. the wound thoroughly
washed and sprayed with an antiseptic so
luton. Inflammation has not yet set in,
but will probably make its appearance to-
day. The hot weather is decidedly against
him, but he has naturally strong coustl-
tuition, and the surgeons are hopeful that
ne may pull through.
In talking with some of the deputy sheriffs
yesterday, a GAZETTE reporter was told
that during an acquaintance with Neimeyer

successful in avoiding trouble, considering
the nature of his vocation

TEXAS AS SEEN FROM THE REAR
OF A DENVER TRAIN.
A Trip From Fort Worth to Vernon and
What it Shows.

At $50 a. N. the sail aboard is heard
and the train glides out from the Union
depot, through the well-flled freight yards
showing 10 the traveller the many carriers
OF commerce as car after car is loaded or
unloaded with the necessaries, comforts
and luXurieS of life.
A bird s-eye view is obtained of the city as
the train spans the high trestle and speeds
on its way toward the great wheat region of
Northwest Texas. Above the cloud of dis
solving smoke stands out in bold relief the
monuments of Fort Worth enterprise,
namely, the Hurley Office, Martin-Brown,
Hendricks buildings. grain elevators, and
last, out not least, the Texas Brewery.
Crossing to North Fort Worth, ones mind
is grandly impressed with the magnitude of
the packery, stOckyards and other manu-
featuring establishments.

rolling prairie, covered with luxuriant
grass, beautiful with countless numbers Of
wild flowers, and thus we reach the golden
wheat fields of North Iarrant county, and

In your issue of to-day Mr. Nj Maedgen
discusses the per cent school fund amend
ment, and my speech made On the Goth Of
May. He says: MIR. Jester tells Us that
| per cent will leave ST., 800 in the pockets
of the people, and pretty soon thereafter
says that the impression that there is
large amount of cash in the state treasury
belonging to the permanent school fund is
an error, and then proceeds to prove it.
He gets over the difficulty of disbursing
500 out of the treasury that
he has just proved is not there
by saying that sit is confidently believed
that there viii soon be large surplus of
cash by the payment of land notes and

tries to leave the impression with the
readers of his communication that / failed
to show where we could get the
per cent cash annually from
