THE EIGHTH WARD"
The Status of the Affair as Nearly as Can
Be Correctly Learned by "The
Gazette" Reporters.

Gazette" Reporters.
The petition of the citizens of the pro-
posed eighth ward" the presentation of
which to the council, Mayor Smith over
scented tonight at the meeting of the coun-
Gil. The objection urged to the annexation
of the Eighth ward, as stated in yester-
days GAZETTE, is that the number of votes
in the ward-probably one hundred-does
not warrant the city in annexing it and al
lowing it the same representation that the
other wards have. Those who object to its
annexation on this ground, express them
selves as perfectly willing for that portion
TO be annexed as part of the
city, but not as the Eighth ward
Others object to the movement
on the account of its giving to the southern
part of the city more representation than
the northern part. As the representation
now stands in the council the north part of
the city has the First and Second wards
and the south part the Fifth, Sixth and
Seventh, the Third and Fourth lying be-
tween. Should the proposed territory be
annexed with the privilege of being repre-
scented by two aldermen, the wards in the
south part would outnumber those in the
northern part by two. Some of the men,
bers of the council say they are willing to
grant the petition of the citizens of that
section if the aldermen who favor the
Eighth wards admission will agree to
division of the Second ward, thus allowing
North Fort Worth three wards and South
Fort Worth four. On no other condition
will they favor the annexation of the pro-
posed territory as the Eighth ward. With
the council the matter stands thus, the con-
sideration seeming to be one of equality of
representation between the opposite parts
of the city mentioned
The majority of the citizens in this sec
ton are exceedingly anxious to be Il part of
the city, but the majority of the voters ab-
soiutely refuse to be annexed except as the
Eighth ward. They claim that the Seventh
was admitted with less than lis voters, and
that the same privileges of entering the
city should be accorded them, who have
only few less

Futures-Liverpool again showed consid-
cradle weakness at the opening this morn
ing, with decline there of 3-64d,
however, recovering 2-64d of the decline
at the close Acting in sympathy
with an easier market at Liverpool, our
market to-day declined some 9points. There
was the same decline at the opening in New
York, we presume for the same reason that
affected the market here. Later that
market gradually improved, which encour-
aged our market, and with the
assistance of heavy realizing by shorts, ad-
vanced prices here to last nights closing
figures. Our New York advices to-day are
of a more encouraging character,
advising purchases for the mo-
ment, nevertheless the disposition
here seems to be to sell on all reasonable ad-
vances. Port receipts to-day are $500 bales,
against 100 last year.
