MRS HARR1soN's CONDITION.
It.sHas Been Determined to Take Fer Back
to Washington.


Loon LAKE, N. Y, Sept. 19.-It
was decided by Mrs. HarrisOn's ply
sicians this morning to comply with
her wish to be taken to Washington
and the strip will be undertaken to-
morrow if she continues to improve.
The removal of Mrs. Harrison to
Washington is for the reason that she
has derived no actual benefit from the
soiourn in the mountains and because
of belief that the lingering disease
from which she Is suffering can be
treated Just as well If not better in
Washington than at this mountain
resort. DR.. Gardner said this morn
ing, at has been decided to move her
because in two or three days her
condition might not permit her re-
moval. The fluid in the pleura is liza
BILE to be reproduced at any time, and
of course such appearance diminishes
her chances of recovery. AS an OPP
portunity for her removal seems more
favorable now than it will be later in 9
president and family have taken the
responsibility of undertaking it. Mrs.
Harrison passed very comfortable
night and is feeling much stronger
this morning. The presidential party
is expected to reach Washington
Wednesday morning.

THE RAILROAD COMMISSION.


The Hogg appointive commission
people, who are not as numerous in
this state as the army of Xerxes, or
the locusts of Egypt, seem to think
that the regular Democrats who sup
port Judge Clark were rejoiced at the
decision of Judge Mccormick, and
that they were disposed to dance a
horn pipe ovor the grave of the
effete and mori5und rail-
road commission, and "ergo"
that they were opposed to any COM
mission. No such rejoicing, no such
dancing appeared on the boards. 1t
is true that Judge Clark and his fol-
lowers opposed the appointive feature
of the commission. They believed
that the people were quite as able to
lect commission as Governor Hogg
was to appoint one. They believed
the people were even better qualified
for this purpose than Governor Hogg
for they knew if he had the power of
appointment he would give it to his
friends, and as each individual of the
people could not select his particular
friends they felt there would bemore
Judgment exercised and less friend
ship in the election, and they there
fore opposed the one man power,
which was one of their objections to
the commission as it was.
Judge Clark and many other able
lawyers of the state were of
the opinion that the commission
law as eliminating from the brain of
Governor Hogg aud railroaded
through the legislature, was uncon-
stitutional, illegal and unjust, and for
these reasons they opposed "the"
commission, but not ga" commission.
All parties consented that the rail
roads ought to be controlled as much
as possible, at the same time without
violating legal and vested rights, and
they were and are in favor of a COM
mission stripped of all absurdities and
all unjust infringements on personal
and corporate rights.
Governor Hogg seemed to have no
respect for the rights of corporations;
he desired to lay his heavy hand upon
them and crush out their very exist
ence. He forgot that the develop
ment and prosperity of Texas was
indebted to the railroads and
railroad corporations and that
well and honestly CON-

RECLPROCITY HUNRUG.

Governor Boies opened the Demo
cratic campaign in Iowa Thursday
In his able vindication of the princi'
pies of his party he incidentally gave
the reciprocity boasts of the Republic
cans black eye, showing that it was
a most transparent humbug to relieve
that party of its heavy fall given it by
tariff reform.
He quoted from McKinley's figures,
by which he had attempted to prove
the prosperity of the farmers of the
country. These statistics revealed the
appalling tact that in 1890 in ten
counties in Kansas only two.thirds of
the farmers owned the land they
cultivated, more than one-half
of them were in debt for their land
and third were renters. In 1880 Is
per cent of these farmers were renters,
showing that the number of renters
had more than doubled in ten years.
In 1890 ten counties in Ohio show an
increase of renters among the farmers
from "A per cent in 1880 to 36 per cent
in 1890.
The reciprocity arrangements with
South American countries have no eff
feet on our trade as they do not need
and do not purchase the products of
our farms.
During the seven months ending
July 81, 1902, the export of farm pro-
ducts to the nations with which we
have reciprocity treaties amounted
to only 6 IL per cent of the whole,
while the exports of the
same products to Great Brit
ian with which we have
no reciprocity treaty for the same Pc
Rod, amounted to 64.5 per cent of the
whole.
The exports of manufactured arti-
cles, on the other hand, to South
America for the same per amount
ed to "A per cent of the total and to
Great Britain IS per cent of the total.
Gov. Boies says that these figures
show that the manufacturers get the
lion share, while the farmers must be
satisfied with the crumbs that fall
from the masters table.

WEAVER AND STEVENSON.

The National Democratic committee
are in the fight to win, and to win
with both Cleveland and Stevenson.
They recognize the fact that If the
Third party people carry state or
two and by that means the election is
thrown into the house of representa-
tives that Cleveland will be made pre-
sident. But while this is true, if the
electoral college does not elect a vice
president, the Republican senate will
elect Reid and not Stevenson. The
nation has never had president and
vice president of opposing politics
since Democrats and Republicans
Joined swords in battle, and it is the
determination of the Democratic Ma
tional committee that it shall not bs
the case this yesr. They will see thai
the election of vice president is mo-
thrown into the senate. To this enc
they are engineering a fusion ticke
in the Northwestern states, {
ticket for Weaver and,Stevenson. Yor
can all see at glance the value 0
such ticket. When that tickle
wins it mea ls a loss to Harrison, ,
gain for Cleveland if he is turned owe
to a Democratic house of representa-
tives and a gain for Stevenson in tn,
electoral college. That very gain may
elect him vice. president, even though
there may be no electoral college ma
jority.for Cleveland. 1t is a shrewo
move and good one.
The only trouble about it is as t.
what our Hogg friends may think
abous the Democrats combining il
that way with any other party. From
their recent expressions it woulc
seem very clear that they would &c
into no such deal themselves ever
though their refusal would cost Dem
ocracy the control of the government
1t is we'll for them that Texas is moi
one of the states that will be asked t.
help out along the line indicated.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. lS.-Capt.
James Carr, owner of the canal boat
Henry Cabell, which is lying at the
foot of Sixteenth street, New York,
came to his mothers house, IL Johns
street this city, with his wife and sick
child Friday evening by the steam
boat New Brunswick and was strick-
ell with cholera this morning and this
evening is very low. The case is pro-
nounced Asiatic cholera by DR.. Bald
win, inspector for the board of health.
The city is in good sanitary condition.
There is much excitement but no
panic.
Later-Captain Carr died at 7:2O
this evening. DR.. Edison of New
York has been sent for and will make
an examination of the body before in
terment to satisfy the local authori.
ties. By order of Mayor Van Cleef
the body was tonight wrapped in
antiseptic blankets and buried in a
six foot grave in the new Catholic

NO TROUBLE AT FIRE ISLAND.
FIRE ISLAND, N. Y, Sept. 18.-Not
the slightest opposition was Offered by
the Islip authorities or the bay men to
the landing of the Wyoming's pass
engers today. The belief among the
and civil officers in charge is
that the hostile demonstrations were
due to the people not being thorough
ly acquainted with what had trans.
pired during the early part of last
week. They did not know that the re.
sulutions, copies of which were served
yesterday, had been adopted Tuesday
Immediately after the landing of the
Normania's passengers, and that the
Islip board of health had within few
hours announced that no further pro
test would be made, but suits to re-
cover penalty would be begun and
the matter taken to the grand jury.
NEW YORK OFFICIAL BULLETIN.
NEW YORK, Sept. 1S.-The board Of
health issued a bulletin this afternoon
which stated that no cases of suspect.
ed cholera had appeared since the last
bulletin and no deaths from cholera
had occurred since Tuesday.

WAR WITH CATTLE THIEVES.
Major Walcott and Friends In

CHEYENNE, Wyo., April %
Major Walcott and his forty-five
men, comprising the band that in
Ysded johnson county to kill and
run out cattle thieves, are at Fort
Russell, three miles from town.
They left here nineteen days ago by
special train, full of fight and coafi-
dence. Some Of the fight lives, but
their confidence is shattered. 1--WE

said leader, "and were willing to
take all chances with them. Their
ability to enlist aid amazed and
stunned US. By actual count their
force at the time of our surrender
was 800 able-bOdied and well-armed
men, who could be intelligently and
effectively handled by Arapahoe
Brown, who developed into a great
general. We did not coun: upon
the fact that citizens without the
least sympathy for known thieves
would resent the interference Of an
outside force in their affairs. The
whole county turned out to whip
us, and almost did il. We could
have managed very well with ut

only wanted a dark night in which

almost impregnable position. The
rustlers had a fort on wheels
and 1t was a great scheme, hut they
could not get men to move it on us.
A charge by them would have been
q great mistake. We had trench
from our fort to house, and the last
stand on our part would have been
a determined one We saved our
ammunition for IL, and l believe We
would have killed 200 men. They
were unable to devise any means to
reach us with fire. brands or giant
powder. Robert Foote. a merchant
who backs the rustlers, offered 5000
for a cannon at Fort Mckinney,
and they tried to bribe some soldiers
TO steal the Hotchkiss gun from the
fort. II they had succeeded in
either case but few Of US would have
escaped. On the fist day Of the
siege they fired 1000 shots at US, but
we kept out Of range OF their guns.
We held our fire, only shooting oc-
casionally with our heaviest rifles.
There were fifteen men in our fort
which guarded the only approach.

her children, and turned the money
over to him. Now then, if that
opinion will hold good in this coun-
try, and Curtis snould get off with
