THE SILVER QUESTION.

TnE House Committee on Coinag,
has Mt last taken action M the Senate
Silver bill. BY vote Of : to I, ON the
10Th Inst, II was reported on, advor.
sely, with recommendation that It
should not pass. Toe minority four
consists of two Democrats aud two
Republicans; the majority eight Of
five Republicans aud three Democrats.
The bill goes now to the foot Of the
calendar, and that probably means
perpetual rcat II Is not likely that II
willappear again before the present
Congress.
Jerry" Simpson, the Congressman
elect from Kansas, gave his views In
support Of free silver before the com.
mittce. He favored an influx Of for
cign silver, saying that II would make
more money, and bring better times to
the farmers.
One noticeable feature Of tho silver
question agitation Is, that Il Is gradual.

tive Of old party ties. The cry that
Cleveland Inns forfeited his chances OF
a nominatirn for the presidency In 1902,
by his recent letter, l. silly one.

Republicans alike, who advocate nee
silver, that lac had not selnshncss

GOV. HOGG TO THE FRONT.
HE SAYS HE WILL SETTLE THE ARAN-
sAs PASS DISPUTE.
Judge King of the San Antonio Court is De-
termined That He Shall Have Justice,
Even Though He be Compelled
to Go to the Supreme Court.

Special to The Statesman.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Oct. 10.-Judge
King of the Forty-tifth district court
today received telegram from Gov.
Hogg stating that he would be in
Austin tomorrow, and that he would
settle the controversy with Judge
Goodrich over the Waco extension of
the San Antonio and Arkansas Pass
railway. 1t is thought here that the
only way in which the governor can
settle it will be to order the sheriffs of
McLennan and Falls counties to allow
the work to proceed. In one of the
kilograms sent by Judge King to
Governor Hogg yesterday he stated
that if the executive declined to inter-
fere he (King) would Immediately
order to the ground sufficient armed
force to complete the work. While it
is not known what the decision of the
governor will be, it is considered that
he will sustain the jurisdiction Of the
San Antonio court. If he sustains
the Waco court Judge King will APP
peal to the supreme court.

tlon of affairs is regarded as critical.
The Freeman Journal says the
startling insults to which John Dillon
was subjected show the deep under
current of angry feeling which has
been provoked by the United Ireland.
The McCarthyites had every desire to
pay the last tribute to the dead, but
tits now pretty plain that they could
not do so without rendering insult to
thepresence of the dead body by caus-
ing an exhibition of intolerable anger
upon the part of the infatuated section
OF his followers. Nothing but desire
to preserve the public peace and de-
termination to guard Ireland from re-
preach has influenced their decision
to be absent.

BIG THING FOR DALLAS.
A Mammoth Packing Establishment to be
Located There

- ~~S"b Ap'"oAAeAhoue w W
Located There.
ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, Oct. 1O.-A dispatch
was printed here this morning from
Pittsburg, Pa, to the effect that a
meeting is to be held in this city next
Thursday by the executive committee
of the National Butchers association
for the purpose of considering plans
looking to the establishment of a
mammoth slaughter house in Dallas,
Tex, with a view of supplying the
members of the association through
out the country in opposition to the
Armour and Swift establishments.
The dispatch is incorrect, in so far as
the meeting will not be held in st.
Louis, but is to take place in Dallas,
Tex. 1t is stated, on what seems to
be reliable authority, that the Dallas
Board of Trade has subscribed $780,
600 to the scheme and the Dallas city
council will add $150,000 to the
amount. This will be offered as a
bonus to the projectors of the plan.
The butchers claim that they will no
longer submit to the extortionate
prices demanded by the "Big Four"
and other packers.

DALLAS FAIR
Will Open in a Week With Rare splendor.

Will Open in Week With Rare splendor.
Special to The Statesman
DALLAS, Tex, Oct. 1O.-One week
from today Gov. Hogg will formally
open the great Texas State Fair and
} Dallas Exposition. The day will be
celebrated in way fully appropriate
for such an event. Dallas will put on
her holiday attire, business houses
will close and every one will go to the
fair.
There is no longer doubt as to the
success of the enterprise. Entries
have been made from nearly every
state in the union while both Mexico
and Canada will be represented with
exhibits. Every enterprise and in
dustry of Texas will be shown the
world. Thousands of people from
other states than Texas will be here.
Not day passes but letters are re-
ceived from the "old states" announce
ing excursionists that will attend
the fair and exposition. For the first
time in the history of the fair associa-
ton the management have secured
excursion rates from points outside of
Texas. This year rate of one and
one third fare has been made from all
the Southern states, while the entire
Missouri Pacific railway system will
sell tickets at one fare the round trip.
The rates apply to Missouri, Arkan-
sas, Kansas and Nebraska.
Signor Liberati, in addition to his
celebrated military band, will have
with him the following world re-
nowned singing quartette: Helena
MARCEL, soprano; Maria Palmer. con-
tralto; Eugenia Pesci, tenor, and
Harry BOrazaro, baritone. These
people will give daily renditions from
celebrated musical authors.
There is no end to the special at
fractions secured by the management
in order to make the fair a success.
Burbank's famous artillery will go
into camp on the grounds and give
daily drills. The Royal Japanese vii
lage, consisting Of fourteen people,
will afford another novel feature.
These people will manufacture all
those Japanese novelties that at ract
the attention of everyone, as well as
to give frequent exhibitions in Jug
Cling and sword walking. The Eden
Musee is another great attraction, and
will be located in q three story build
ing near the entrance gates. Rose
bury, the celebrated jumping horse,
will also be on the ground. 'Mount
Hood,n a painting of rare art, 14X25
feet in dimensions, will also be ex-
hibited.
The races will be participated in by
over 800 horses, many of them Of
national reputation. The 1913, 900 in
purses offered in this department has
caused great interest to be manifested
by horsemen all over the country.
Every department of the fair will be
taxed to it's utmost for space, as the
number of exhibits will be double
those of any previous year. The hotel
facilities of the city are ample for all
who attend, so no one needs to stay
away for fear Of not procuring a place
to stay while in the city. No one in
Texas should fail to attend the fair as
it will be the greatest and best one
ever held i'm the southwest.

OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 10.-The seven
members of the mob which lynched a
negro rapist last night are under ar
rest, charged with murder in the first
degree. County Attorney Mahoney
has refused to allow the release of the
prisoners on bail, and by 7 p. m. a

OFFICIAL COTTON REPORT.

OFFICIAL COTTON REPORT.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-The Octo-
Der cotton report Of the department Of
agriculture, shows general aver
age of the condition of cotton Of 1871,
against S2.7 month ago. Last year
in October it was so. Besides this I'M
favorable difference in the condition,
the crop is late this year and the
chances against repetition of last
years extraordinary length of the
season of growth. The average con-
dition by the states is as follows: Vir-
ginia ~, North Carolina 20, South
Carolina Y. Georgia rs, Florida "a,
Alabama rs, Mississippi "A, Louisiana
70, Texas 70, Arkansas rs, Tennessee
20. The Atlantic coast breadth
has suffered more from adverse
conditions than the gulf coast areas.
The excess OF moisture in August
and early in September, with the
drought and high temperature later,
tested the vitality of the plants of the
Coast region severely, causing q she'd
ding of leaves and bolls, premature
opening and slight yield. West of
the Mississippi, there was variable
amount of moisture. A county in
Texas, for instance, reports a con-
tinued drought for ninety days, while
another notes the presence of destruc-
tive rains. This section reports a
smaller loss Of fruitage by the sud den

SLICK RATE MANIPULATIONs.
Gill and Fisher, Grain Exporters Of Ralti-
more Are at Their Old Tricks.

CHICAGO, Oct. 10.-Discoveries have
been made which leave little doubt
that at least one road has decided
to emf the rate on corn between Chi
caco and the Atlantic seaboard. Gill
a. Fisher of Baltimore, who are the
most extensive exporters OF grain III
the United States, are said to be up to
some of their tricks again. Some
wears AGO. when there was heavy
corn crop, this firm sent agents into
Kansas and Nebraska and made con-
tracts for immense quantities OF corn
on a basis of a 20 cent rate from Chi
caco to the seaboard, although the
rate then in effect was % cents per loo
hounds. When the corn was ready TO
be shipped the Baltimore and ONO
railroad reduced the rate to ~ cents
and of course the inference was that II
did so by previous agreement WIN
the shippers. That the same game Is
to be played this year it seems almost
certain. 1t has been discovered that
Gill e. Fisher are again contracting
for corn at prices that other dealers
cannot touch. The lowest price al
which competing firms can agree 10 10
deliver new corn in Baltimore is 52'o6
cents per bushel, while Gill d Flsher
have booked it at 81 cents. 1t is
claimed that this could not be done
without assurances of an advantage III
rates, and it is believed that when
the new corn begins to move the Bal-
timore and Ohio will reduce
the rate either openly OF
otherwise. Perhaps the Illinois
Iowa and Indiana lines will be called
mon to stand portion of the reduc-
tion. The contract provides that the
nroperty shall be delivered at Baltl,
more prior to January l, and it IS sald
that enough corn has been bought up
hv Gin and Fisher to keep the Baltl'
more and Ohio busy up to that date;
The general freight agents of some OF
the Chicago lines are wearing long
faces in consequence of this state OF
affairs, Such manipulations are, OF
course calculated to injure Chicago as
~rain market, and many roads that
have heen expecting an enormous

Cotton Burned at Galveston.

Special to The Statesman.
GALVESTON, Tex, Oct. 10.-At an
early hour this morning two cars
laden with 10 bales of cotton were
discovered on fire in the yards of the
International and Great Northern
railway. Before it was extinguished
the cars and cotton were badly dam
aged, approximating locs Of $4,000.
About noon another car containing
fifty bales was discovered on fire in
the same locality, but was extin-
guished before serious damage had
been inflicted.
