THE GALVESTON DEEP HARBOR
COMMITTEE MEETS.
The Friends of velasco on Hand Trying to
Secure Government Action in
Favor of that Port.
Special to the Gazette.

SpcCIdI " 1iZclit-
DENVER, Col, Nov. 19-The Galveston
deep harbor committee met here last night
and to-day for the purpose of unraveling
the perpleXities that have surrounded the
deep harbor project. The harbor has now, it
is stated thirteen and one-quarter feet
of water and fifty years ago when they be-
gan the work they had twelve feet of water
In gaining this one and one-fourth feet in
twenty years, with an expenditure of
81 600 OF Uncle Sans money,
they have, it is said, rival
in Nelasco, 4 little city at the mouth of the
Brazos river, and this fact lent increased
animus to the meeting. The meeting was
held behind closed doors, and Secretary
Danal refused to give any information
whatever.
Ex-Governor Evans. chairman of the
committee, this evening read his report,
after which resolutions were adopted call
ing upon congress to make the neces-
sary appropriations to complete the
work at Galveston. The friends of
Velasco were about. and they were
trying to get petition to be presented to
congress, making that place, instead of
Galveston, deep harbor point. Nelasco
is only four months old. and it is alleged
has 1000 inhabitants. It now claims more
water than Galveston, though but 81, 100000
has been spent in four months, not I.
cent of this sum being government money.
There IS considerable rivalry between the
two ports on the gulf and the outcroppings
are not all of the most pleasant nature.
After the adoption of the resolution the
committee adjourned subject to call.

yesterdays session of the following alleged

This referred to Russian order pro-
hibiting wheat exports from Russia
Wheat jumped up one cent, but that was
not the worst effect the false report had on
the floor. Brokers rushed into cover, and
the losses We're extremely heavy,
because nobody knew what was coming.

had no limit and petition was circulated
demanding that the directors at once inves-
tigate and ascertain the source of the false
report. This petition was signed by twenty
two of the most prominent members, and
when presented to-day at once had the de-
sired effect, as meeting of the directors
was called, and no time was lost in taking
the necessary steps to discover the guilty
party.

it will go hard with the firm circulating the

evenly between the parties, except the
10000 bushels of corn, all of which falls

boundary lines, the Santa F'e road being
another. Its situation aud general character

PARIS GRAND JURY
After Officers and Magistrates for Making
No Effort to Suppress
Crime.
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
PARIS, TEX, Nov 19.-The last grand
jury used the following language in its re-
port:
Inquiry into violations of the law has
shown that prostitution has greatly in
creased. Houses of prostitution, or prosti-
tutes living alone, are in almost every part
of the city. Boys yet in their teens visit
such places in large numbers and engage in
criminal and immoral practices" They
also hit officers and magistrates very hard
about no effort being made to suppress or
punish ofenses against the gaming laws or
the selling Of liquor to minors. An irate
justice if the peace takes up the list of in
dictments returned by the grand jury and
shows that there is not a single present
ment against houses OF prostitution, not one
tor selling liquor to minors, only four for
selling on Sunday. and that the gaming in
dictments were principally against negro
crap-shooters. As the grand jury. with
two lawyers and eight bailiffs sessioned for
twenty-nine days at = cost of sl162. the
justice thinks their showing an inconsistent
one.
