SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Nov. IS. -
There was another sensational de-
velOpment in the fight that the grand
jury is waging against the present
city administration today when
Judge King ordered that body to APP
pear before him to answer to
the charge of contempt Of
court. Each juror was fined
$50. In pursuing their investigation,
Of certain city officials, the grand jury
requiring the evidence OF Judge King
of the fOrIy-iifth district court, issued
an attachment for him. The writ was
served on thejudge while he was on
the beach and yesterday he issued an
order directing Sheriff Mccall to have
the grand jury before him at $3.50
o'clock this morning to show cause
why they should not be committed
for contempt of court. When taken
before Judge King this morning the
grand jury admitted the issuance OF
the attachment, but the answer was
vague and the judge decided that all
were in contempt and the fines We're
imposed as above stated.

MONEY ~ WOLVES.
A Largo Sum Paid for Their soalps in a
Kansas County.

SEDAN, Eans., Nov. u Especially
Some DAYS ago these dcspatchcs told
Of the rapid increase of wolves IN this
section and the fears expressed by the
farmers that they would be a menace
to the people during the coming win
terunless something was done to get
rid of them. This feeling has become
so general among the people that
regular crusade has been inau~uratcd
against the animals and now WhCncv-
or farmer has any spare time he
spends itin hunting wolves. In order
to foster this feeling rs much rs posi-
bic the farmers nave organized and
offer two dollars for every scalp. This
in addition to the regular state bounty
Of 90 and the value Of the skin which
is 50 brings the value of q dead wolf
up to 81. The result is that it is very
profitable business and the country
has been alive with men and dogs for
the past three weeks.
Among those who have been at
tracted to this county by the OppOr-
tunitv thus offered to make money
easy is Dick Barnes, who lived on the
banks Of Grand river in Missouri. and
who spends his life in hunting. When
the report of the big reward offered
for wolves reached him he came here
and began war on the animals. The

STOCKTON, Cal, Nov. 2l.-Another
worlds record was broken on the
Stockton kite shaped track today.
The yearling FLY Fausta, by Sidney,
was driven n mile by Willard Sanders
in 2.25 IL, breaking the worlds record
of 2.2S 81. 1t was wonderful per-
formance, as the FLY was never paced

made splendid finish, coming in the

HARRIsON's RECENT BREAK.
It Was Made Before Senior Montt and is Ex-
citing Much Comment.

Special to The Statesman.
WAsHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-Mr. Harri-
son is usually very careful of the lam
gUage he usues in his public speeches,
but he made break in his speech of
welcome to Senior Montt, the new
Chilean minister, that will be snick-
cred at in diplomatic circles all over
the civilized world. After telling the
minister how glad we were to receive
him, he told him Of the policy of this
government in dealing with its neigh
bors unfortunate enough to suffer from
internal dissensiOns and civil war.
He said: at is our policy to preserve
an honorable and strict neutrality, as
was done during the late war in Chile.
Tempting commercial and political
advantages may be offered for our aid
or influence by one or the other of the
contending parties, but this we do not
deem to be consistent with the obliga-
tions of international honor and
good will.n Itsurely must have been
difficult for Senior Mont to keep his
face straight while listening to this
high-flown talk, in view of the very
short time since the newspapers of the
entire world were ringing with charges
of bad faith made by this government
against Hypolite, the present presi-
dent of Hayti, because of his refusal
to cede the Mole st Nicholas to the
United States, in keeping with the
promise he had made to obtain the
support Of this government to aid him
in driving President Legitime out of
Hayti and in assuming the presidency
thereof himself
That was an odd sort of honorable
neutrality, wasn't it? And Senior
Montt must have wondered if Mr..
Harrison considered his bargain with
the insurgent Hypolite consistent
with the obligations of international
honor and good will.n Even Mr..
Harrison's friends admit that he made
a mistake in the phrasing of this
speech, short as it was.
1t is evident that some sort of n deal
is being Matched, whereby the post

WILL LEAVE GALVESTON.
Another Line of Steamers to be Removed to
New Orleans.

GALVESTON, Nov. 2l.-The Calves
ton Fruit and Trading company which
has had a line of steamers plying be-
tween this port and Blueiields, Mica
ragua, in the fruit trade, has decided
TO make New Orleans its future base
of operations, and supply scustomerS
in the large cities OF the Nortn ana
West from that point. This change
was brought about by the action OF the
Wharf company in not providing
permanent wharf facilities i0f tle
company's steamers and the ullecu 1T,
in getting prompt rail carriage for the
TRANSFORMATION of its fruit cargoes to
its customers in the North and West
The secretary of the company says the
withdrawal is only temporary, while
other members declare it is perma-
nent.

A ROBBERS DEN.
Headquarters of Bandits Discovered by
Hunters in Oklahoma.
Special to the Statesman.

Special to the Statesman.
Usage SPRINGS, 0. t., Nov. 1S.-An
accidental discovery by some hunters
has resulted in the breaking up of a
robbers rendezvous south of here and
will probably cause the determination
of a band of thieves which has been
living off the people of this section for
some time. Edwin Walters, John
Curry and James Smith went on a
hunt along the nOr,h fork OF
the Canadian river and camped
near the mouth of PersimmOn creek
in the hills. The country was very
wild and there was no sign Of road
or trail through the hills and they
were much surprised one afternoon
to come upon well defined path lead
ing into the hilly country east of the
creek. The trail had the appearance
of being well travelled and it was de-
termiued to investigate. Next morn
ing they made circuit and iound
that the trail was made Ivy the coming
together of many small paths which
evidently came from allptrts Of the
territory and evidently had the same
objective point.
This looked suspicious and the men
proceeded very carefully, KEEPING
Il sharp lookout for signs of men The

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. 1S.--The
longer the Alliance remains in session
further apart grow the factions. 1t
is impossible to settle the various or
CARNATIONS down to any definite plan
of action or to any united policy. The
third party fight is on in bitter earnest
and every move is made with more or
less direct reference to this main is
sue. a split in the Alliance on the
subtreasury and land loan principles
now seem inevitable.
The meeting of the Alliance TINS
morning was Il complete 1izzle and
lasted but IL few moments. Nhen the
executive session opened trouble over
the subtreasury matter began. n
communication was received from the
executive committee of the anti-sub-

convention of last September, me

but Livingston of Georgia, moved the
appointment of committee OF live to
read the protest and report to alliance
whether or not it should be had.
On this motion, which was
finally carried by two-thlrds
vote, a bitter fight was made by the
Macune men, who made the charge
that the Georgia faction had at
tempted to assassinate Macune IN
Mississippi. The committee will call
on Messrs. McAllister, Hall and Yea
mans of the anti-subtreasury commit
tee this afternoon. These gentlemen
will refuse to let the protest be read

garding the inspection of the sugar pro-
duced next year, he says that nothing
is yet known definitely, but he believes
the commissioner will allow prompt
shipments, and will give the producers
the benefit of a liberal construction of
the law. He thinks the value of the
maple product will be enhanced by the
government mark or stamp which will
be placed upon each package inspected.
This will be guaranty to the pur-
chaser of the purity of the article. The
commissioner has recently made a rul-
ing on the subject of combining the
outputs of small producers for the pur-
pose of getting the bounty, and small
producers will do well to keep it in
mind. The ruling is that if two or
more persons form partnership and
establish q single place Of production, at
which they will produce not less than
500 pounds, license will be issued to
the partnership. If firm wishes to
carry on business at two or more places,
separate application and bond must
be given for each place, and separate
license will be issued for each. These
regulations are not as complicated as
they may seem to many. Any one who
sets about it can understand them per-
fectly. The one thing for producers to
remember is that the time is now quite
short, and the matter calls for immedi.
ate attention.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE II, 1891.

THE success of the United States in ma
terial development is the most illustrious
of modern times. The American nation
has not only successfully borne and sup
pressed the most gigantic and expensive
war of all history, but Immediately after
ward disbanded its army, found employ
ment for all its soldiers and marines, paid
off most of its debt, given labor and homes
to all the unemployed of Europe as fast as
they could arrive within its territory, and
still by a system of taxation so indirect as
not to be perceived, much less felt. Be
cause it is my deliberate Judgment that the
prosperity of America is mainly due to its
system of protective laws, urge that Ger
many has now reached that point where it
is necessary to initiate the tariff system of
the United States.-BiSmarck.
