AUSTIN LETTER.
THE FRIENDS OF Mr.. MILLS TO
MEET TONIGHT.
Texas and Pacific EarnIngs-TroubIe with
the Golfer Dam-Preparing for the
State Encampment in June.
AUSTIN, TEX, March Z, 1892.
To the Gazette.


To the Gazette.
The Mills people here have got another
move on them after months pause, dur
ing which they have probably kept up
deal Of thinking. Shortly after the great
tariff reformer's defeat for the speakershlp
his friends called a meeting for certain
night in the courthouse TO take such action
as the nature of his awkward predicament
called for. The object of the meeting was
twofold-frst, to instruct the house to make
Mr. Mills chairman of the ways and means
com mittee, and secondly, to inform Gov
ernor Hogg that he was Austin's choice for
the seat in the senate occupied by Horace
Chiffon. The governors friends got Wind
of the matter, and resolved, if possible, to,
thwart it, which they did in most success
full manner, very much to the chagrin OF
the Mills men. The thorn is still ranking
in the latter, the sting OF which IS In no.
wise mitigated by the consciousness that
both representatives from this county arc
opposed TO Mills, and, unable TO prevalkon
the chairman of the county eXecutivecom-
mittee to call convention for the purpose
of ascertaining the popular will IN the-sffat-
ter of a senator, they have decided to call
mass meeting ''of those favorable to the
election of Col Mills as United States SEN
ator from Texas" As the meeting, which
occurs tomorrow night, is limited to the
friends of Mills only, 1t is presumed that
no others will be admitted. OF course this
is an infallible remedy against being cap
tured as the former meeting was, and one
that will insure the most enthusiastic
laudation of the Corsican. Representa-
tives Terrell and Dawson will be instructed
to vote for Col Mills at the special session.
but how far they will regard the action of
the mass-meeting as fairly representative
of the popular will no one but themselves
know.

AUSTIN, TEX, March This was the
day fixed by the commission to hear the
case of the citizens of Brownsville against
the Rio Grande railroad, short line run
ming down to Point Isabel from Browns
vile The party representing the citizens
was on hand, but no representative of the
road was present. The case was postponed
until tomorrow. 1t is one in which the
citizens of Brownsville claim that they are
the victims of a grinding monopoly, and ask
that the commission apply its tariffs on the
Rio Grande road, which it has not hitherto
done on account of the unimportance of the
road.
Mr.. Rymershoffer, the -four mill man of
Galveston, and Mr. Flood of that city,
called on the commission in reference to a
move in Kansas to induce the interstate
commission to abolish the cent differential
between flour and wheat shipped to Texas
from points in that section. 1t is contended
that equal rates on wheat and -four from
Kansas would initiate heavily against
Texas miners.
The commission fixed rate of cents to-
day on stone for the Galveston ietties
shipped from Clay or intermediate stations
on the Santa Fe, effective March IL.
