Throughout the region all last night the

bombs were exploded simultaneously,

To Abolish the Consular Sea, System

WASHINGTON, April 1S.-Secretary Foster
has decided to suspend the consular seal
system on cars, and adopt system of lock
cars and manifests which, it is believed.
will be better all around The change is
the result of an investigation instituted bv
Secretary Window, which showed the gov
eminent was losing money and merchants
losing goods under the seal system. Nearly
the whole time of United States consuls at
some points in Canada is taken up in seal
ing cars for the transportation of goods in
transit through the United States. More
over, traffic has grown to such proportions
that it is beyond the ability of the depart
ment to make sure in all cases that goods
are not dropped at points within the United
States. Under the new system, cars will
be stopped at the nearst port on the border
and examined by treasury officials, who
will place upon the cars treasury locks.
The prospective large payments on &C
count of pensions, public works, maturing
bonds, ETC., and the rather low ebb of re-
ceipts with the resulting possibility of the
disappearance of the surplus, is causing
some 'lneasiness among the financial Off
GERS OF the treasury. Besides endeayoring

Secretary Foster has in view another
plan concerning AZ ner cent bonds.

turned out en- masse to show their heart

motion and extension of their commercial
interests. A special coach containing the
Galveston reception committee met the

salute was fired, the city bells were rung
and all the steamers and tugs in the har-
Dor whistled their loudest. The city troops
and Masonic and civic organizations were
present in force and all joined in cheering
the distinguished visitor in the most en-
thusiastic manner. The demonstration
was gratifying one in every respect. The
procession was quickly formed and es

which they made a short trip on the bay
for the purpose of inspecting the extensive

An Enthusiastic Reception at Palestine
ton and Galveston Welcome the
Chief Magistrate.

PALESTINE, Tex, April 1S.-The Presi-
dent arrived here at o'clock this morning
and was greeted by large crowd as
sembled at the station. He made speech
and held short reception. The President
was formally received by the governor of
the state and the mayor and city council of
Palestine. The governor was accompanied
by Senator Reagan and committee of
ladies. Governor Hogg welcomed the
party on behalf of the state and Mayor
Pratt on behalf of the city.
The President, responding, said in part
ut gives me pleasure to come this fresh
morning into this great state-a kingdom
without king; an empire without an en-
peror; state gigantic In its proportion and
matchless in its resources, with diversi-
fed industries and infinite capabilities to
sustain q tremendous population and bring
to every home where industry abides,
prosperity and comfort. Such homes, L
am sure, are represented here this morn
ing. All of us are thankful together that
peace rests upon our whole country. All
OF us have pledged ourselves that no sec
tlonal strife shall ever divide US, and
that while abiding in peace with
all the world, we are against all
aggression, one mighty, united people.

where in all our states there shall be that
profound respect for the will of the ma

bring constant peace into all our communi-
ties. 1t is very kind of you to come here
this morning before breakfast. Perhaps
you are initiating me into the Texas habit
of taking something before breakfast"
Laughter and cheers
Secretary Rusk also made a short ad-
dress. He spoke of the vast natural re-
sources of the state and predicted the con-
tinuance of the present enterprise of the
people would make it the richest, as it is
now the largest, state of the union. What
they needed, and what they undoubtedly
would have, was deep water harbor at
Galveston or at some other point on the
gulf.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, April 1s.-A fright

miles west this evening in which six postal
clerks and two engineers were killed. Fast
mail No. IA going east collided with No 81,
the Toledo express, just as the latter train
was about to pull on the siding to let the
fast mail pass. The fast mail was running

a letter to the Mid Oxford candidate of the
Liberal party. Gladstone says the meas

irish question has not made them inatten-

the course of events has brought home the
fact that Ireland practically stops the way

decided support of Irish opinion, have

OF Ireland have been unwarrantably
abridged by the majority in parliament
against whom argument is in vain. Only
decisive action by the constituency would
correct the evil.

Views of a Western Delegate.

CHICAGO, April 1S.-W. F. Forrest, of
Seattle. Wn., delegate to the Kansas City
Commercial congress, arrived here to-day.
Speaking of the congress, he said he did
not think any good would come from it
directly. ut will set people to thinking
and in that way, ultimately, perhaps be Of
some benefit. While most OF the PACING
coast would like the free coinage of Ameri-
can silver, they want protective duty on

until England agrees to bi-metallic stand
ard they don't believe the passage of such
laws Will prove the panacea the farmers
expect. The trouble with the farmers is"
said he, They think they are pretty badly
of, and not knowing exactly what they
need for their relief, clutch at the free sill
yer idea and free trade, too. But they
won't get either.n
Speaking of the national political feeling
IN his state, Senator Forrest thought it
would go Republican in 1892 and that Blaine
was the choice. The Democrats of the state
went for Cleveland and the latter's stand
on silver won't hurt him.

LOVER OF ART
Hurlburt Admits He Kept In
decent Photographs
In His Room In St. James Square, but They
Belonged to an American Friend, Who
is Dead-Gladys' Parentage.

Especial toTHE HERALD-EXaminer Dispatch
LONDON, April 1s.-The deep mystery in
which the Hurlbert case is involved at
tracts universal attention. Mr.. Hurlbert
was yesterday recalled by Miss Evelyn's
counsel. There was intense excitement in
the crowded court. Mr. Hurlbert seemed
to be infected with the prevalent nervous
ness. There was q dark tall man like
valet sitting behind the woman's counsel,
and when Mr.. Hurlbert appeared the man
nodded in assent across to the woman as if
to say this is the man. Counsel asked Hurl-
bert whether he ever had given indecent
prints or photographs to any one. Mr..
Hurlbert denied the inputation sturdily,
Dut as counsel pressed him he began to take
refuge In counter questions about the def
milton of indecency. Mr. Hurbert looked
anxiously around, while his attorney,
George Lewis, who has snatched more
famous cases out of the fire than any living
lawyer, glanced uneasily backwards and
forward between counsel and witness.
Then counsel asked whether Mr. Hurlbert
mad ever lived in st. James square Mr.
Hurlbert replied in the affirmative. Then,
as the dark man sitting behind counsel
stood up, Mr. Hurlbert indicated he was
the landlord. For moment his shortsight-
oSSiiiSb
he identified the man without hav-
ing him brought close under the stand.
The counsel went on to ask whether
Hurbert had kept large quantity of in
decent photographs and books in his lodg-
lngs IN st. James square. This seemed a
crucial questions, but Mr.. Hurlbert braced
himself in the face Of peril and coolly an
swered yes. Then there was a squabble
between him and counsel. Finally Mr..
Hurlbert succeeded ir telling his story in
his own way and his explanation, delivered
not without hesitation and extreme eau
ton, was that an American friend had the
use of his rooms and kept these things
there. This seemed thin, and when Mr..
Hurlbert added that his friend was dead,
counsel gave an incredulous snort which
provoked laugh Counsel had nothing to
do but to leave this story, with all the rest,
to the jury.
This episode has raised grave doubts
about the case The rest of the testimony
was of formal kind and the speeches of
counsel that followed were listened to in
tently. One statement of the woman's
counsel appears to indicate that other
measures will be taken by her to prove her
story should the verdict go against her.
Those measures cab only be prosecution
for perjury. Betting in court was to on
Mr.. Hurlbert, but whether this case will
see the end of the litigation is greatly
doubted.
