TAHLEoUAH. l. T., Oct 22-The Chero-

getting more than the governments last

their dreams with reference TO the matter.
Many of them now propose TO allot the
Strip among themselves at once, and then

Boston, Mass, Oct. 22.-Secretary Blaine

in the course OF conversation remarked that
he had enjoyed more than four months of
absolute rest, something that he had not
had for many ,ong years before. Mir.
Blaine said that it was nearly month after

realize the improvement in his health, but
from then on the gain mad been greater
than he hoped for.
He added: Il suppose some Of the
worthy CORES pondents will keep up the old
story of exhausted nature, shattered con-
stitution, etc. My appetite is vigorous, al
most iuconveniently so. Now, there is moth

of that in my time, but this summer | did
none and found that rest from that alone
was highly beneficial

quite freely and fully upon tie reciprocity

thereon in Boston some time during the
winter. qualifying his promise with the
statement that he Gid not wish to be over

1T HURTS.
IMMENSE TRAFFIC LOST BY THE
CITY OF GALVESTON.
The NJ organ Line of Steamers Did Much TO
Make the Citya Commercial Center.
Heavy Loss to Galveston.
Specia! to the Gazette.

GALVESTON, TEX, Oct. 22-ThA -
steamship line OF Galveston n TIC
ceased to do bns.lP m mis- city with the
f f. llr.eTiwal OF the Morgan steamers
port. From the time when the
Hrst vessel of that line, the steamship Co
lunbia, traversed Galveston bay, i'll 1881.
and but d few rude houses marked the site
of the busting seaport of to-day, the Nor
gan line was a most important factor in the
growth and development OF this city. II
presided at the city'S birth, cursed its in
fancy. and gavea strength and wealth
to its manhood. The line direct to New
York was established i'll 1873 and con-
sisted of steamships out-classed by none in
the coasting trade. Weekly trips were
made during the cotton season, from Sep
TENDER until April of each year. The
yes sells came in laden with merchandise
and departed with cotton
The extent of their outward traffic as o.
tanned from the books in the United States
custom house for the season of lS9O-91 was
was 10l 1872 bales, which. at $50 per bale.
amounted to s5,059,000. The estimated
weight of a bale of cotton is 500 pounds,
and on that basis 50,596,000 pounds, or 25,-
29S tons, of freight in cotton alone was car
ried from Galveston TO New York during
the period of the year which the vessels
ran in the trade. The officials of the line
IN THIS city eStlnlaIe the value OF incoming
cargoes of their steamers at % per cent
less than the value of the outgoing. De
Quoting this p per cent from the
value of outgoing cargoes, and the
result is s.. 194. 200 as the value of
the freight which the vessels brought in
during the seven months i'll which they
piled in the trade. Adding the value of the
outgoing to that of the incoming cargoes
and the total is IS, S5i, 800 for one season.
This immense figure Galveston loses and
New Orleans gains by the withdrawal of
these steamers, and the concentration of
this trade at the latter city. This is not all
however The bulk of the cotton thus
shipped was concentrated in Houston by the
railways controlled by the Southern Pacific
system. where most of it was compressed
and then brought to Galveston in barges
and discharged into the ste amships here. A
large number of men were furnished en-
nloyment in Houston as well as in Calves
ton, causing a weekly distribution of a
large amount of money here and in Hous
ton, which has now ceased here, and to 4
certain extent there by reason of the with
drawal of the line and the absorption Of the
business by New Orleans.
Much as some individuals and papers
have attempted to belitt,e the withdrawal
of these steamers, the fact nevertheless
remains that it is a severe blow to the COM
mercial and maritime interests of this port,
and gives to the Mallory line of steamships
virtually a monopoly of the ocean traffic be-
tween this city and New York.
