Harrison's Letter Accepting.

NEW YORK, Aug. l5.-When Presi-
dent Harrison left Washington for
Loon Lake in the Adirondack he
announced that he had not even the
rough draft of his letter OF acceptance
completed. Now, however, 1t is
given out on semi-official authority
that the document will Do given to
the public some time this week,
possibly today. The president felt
very much fatigued during the clos
ing days of the last session
and did not begin on the
compilation of his letter until
a week after he arrived at Loon Lake.
1t is semi. officially sscertained that
the document will contain about
three thousand words and will in not
the slightest degree vary from the
policy outlined in the party platform.
On the force bill the presidents ut
terances will, it is understood, be
brief and exceedingly strong, while
silver and the tariff and reciprocity
will take up the bulk of the reply. 1t
will be given to the press associa'
ton for transmission by wire and not
by mail.

An EccIesIastLcaI Seminary.

Editor Daily LIGHT:-It appears
that your reporter was misinformed
on the subject of IA New College"
Bro. Charles Francis of st. Mary's
college has purchased no grounds for
q new college. The property in ques-
ton has been acquired two years ago
by q party who, for the present, does
not wish publicity. The projected
institution will not be college, but
an ecclesiastical seminary. Nor is the
site on Alamo, but on Laurel Heights.
You will do me a favor by inserting
this In your esteemed paper.
BRO CHARLES FRANCIS.
Had Brother Charles given the re-
porter the correct information when
he called and not bruesquely refused
to tell him anything about the mat
ter the reporter would not have been
compelled to see the Bishop and get
this information as best he could. 1t
is best always, to post the reporter, If
you can.-ELOCAL ED.

STATE CONVENTION.
The Bayou City CrOwded-San An
tonIo Ipelegates The Hall
Caucus Tonight


Special to the LIGHT.
Houston, Tex, August l5.-HOus-
ton is crowded and uncomfortable.
All Texas seems to be arriving here.
The hotels are not only filled with
delegates, but equally so with lobby
lists and wire pullers. Nugent, Clark
and Hogg are well represented. East
Texas is here in force and so is North
Texas. The Bexsr county delegates
all got here and are looked up
on as curiosities by the crowd
aud are much sought after by the
newspaper interviewers. Schrsmm
has grou D around him always, while
Callagban is working hard among
his delegates and scqusintances of
the district.
Convention hall is the big street
railway car sheds, remodeled for the
occasion. 1t is well arranged as TO
seats, much like the San Antonio
Convention hall two years ago, with
the platform on the side and the seats
ranged around. 1t will accommodate
5000. Ice water in barrels is plenti-
fully scattered about the building,
but the beer is not so handy as it was
in the Alamo city. Electric fans are
placed in good locations and the noise
of the street car machinery is
subdued by q wall padded with
sswdust, between the power house
and the hall. Out over the bayou is
a large gallery for visitors and the
chairs all over the house are nailed in
rows to prevent being wrenched off
and probably used as weapons of
Offense or defense. A wise precaution.
The floor is deep in sawdust, also, and
nobody will get hurt when he falls.
The entire hall has been nicely
decorated. 1t is little hard to reach,
on account OF its distance from the
centre of the city, but all the piney
woods delegate has to do is to follow
the car tracks. He'll get there.
Every train is bringing in delegates,
and badges are as numerously dis
played as an ancient DANES clicked
bose on a muddy day.
BY tomorrow things will be hum.
ming and more news of the conven-
ton will be obtainable. For today
all that the San Antonio delegates
can do is to secure lodging and board 1,
try and keep cool and be patient.
There will be q caucus tonight of the
leaders and the permanent chairman
will be selected.

MARsEnLEs. Sept. 80. According to
adyices from Alden, the slave trade in
Africa continues on large scale. Ow-
ing to the demand for slaves and the
high prices offered for them, slave cara
vans are arriving on the east coast daily.
The caravans find no difficulty in travel
ling through Win. The slaves are em-
barked at points in the vicinity of Zsy-
lah, Massowah, Diibontil and Suakifn.
In exchange for the slaves the traders
accept nothing but modern firearms and
ammunition. The mortality among the
slaves while en- route to the coast from
the interior Is 20 per cent. Raids on o
still larger sale are expected during the
winter in the region of the Congo state

Effort to Bring II Into Composition with

CHICAGO. Sept. 80. Now that the
Reading combine is sending the price of
coal skyward, the Western roads are
considering the practicability of bring
ing Colorado coal into competition with
the Pennsylrania product. Some say it
can be done, others say not. The rail-
roads have ssch rates now that it would
cost the dealer from $40 to $12. 50 ton
to have Colosado coal laid down in
Chicago. But these rates are based on
the non-supply. Colorado coal has never
yet been brought so far east. With a
demand for sufficient quantities of tue
product to cause it to be shipped in
train loads the rates could easily be
reduced one-half.
