words of this letter. Too much could not
be said OF the gallanay of Col Rogers.
However, thousands of others as brave as
he fell in the same cause. The South has
not remembered her Confederate dead as
she should have done. It would be befit-
ting thing for ex-Confederates to mark the
resting place of Col. Rogers in an appro-

DEAR SIR-Absence from the city on an
official visit to the state penal and chart
table institutions IS the reason have to
offer for this delayed answer to your very
touching, courteous favor of the 10th Of
December, advocating the erection of
monument to Col. Rogers of the Second
Texas, who rode to death in charge on
battery Robinett at the battle of Corinth
the 18th of October. 1852
Coming, as the suggestion does. from one
VINO " wore the due and carries battle
scars of the war. it conveysa sentiment
sublime and touching to contemplate
Though am an offspring OF peace, and
for that reason had nothing to dc with the
war, yet my father, a brigadier-ge
died also at Corinth on the Confederate
side. Ny childhood memories of him,
therefore, are revived by your generous re-
marks on Col. Rogers.
If we had more of the old soldiers who
faced the missiles of death in the last war
to speak out in expression of their admira-
ton of the valor of both sides, and had less
from those who were s'camp followers" and
"home guardsn during the struggle, who
only fight battles in time Of peace, there
would be less bitterness in our memories
and more justice to the valiant dead than
seems possible under existing conditions.
shall call the attention of some of our
ex-Confederates to your splendid, welcome
letter, in full confidence that the chivalrous
men Of the lost cause will not permit the
magnanimous suggestion of brave Union
soldier to go further in commemoration of
the heroic deed of Col. Rogers than their
generosity in erecting monument to his
memory.
Should you ever visit Texas l hope you
will honor me with personal visit, when
shall be proud to present you to our people
as man who can rise above the bitterness
of the past and do justice to the prowess
and memory of fallen foe. Your obedient
servant, j. S. HoGG.

Special to the Gazette

AUSTIN, Tx, Jan. 81. Attorney
General Culberson, through Once AS
sistant Smith, to-day advised the land
commissioner that the certificate for 1881
acres of land issued by authority Of an act
of the last legislature to Ex-Governor Q. H.
Bell of North Carolina is invalid, and can
not be lawfully located in the public debt
reservation. and as there is no other public
land on which to locate the certificate, it IS
worthless, Another reason for its in
validity is that it contains 70 provision for
locating an equal area for the public
schools The attorney-general's opinion IS
based on the statutes, and the decision in
the Val Verde cases. Thus is the generosity
of the legislature 70 an old and necessitous
man, who in his manhood days rendered
the state valuable services, defeated by
the law itself
Sir. Singlay OF the geological department,
who accompanied the Federal fish commis-
sioners when they inspected several locali-
ties IN the state for the location Of fish
hatchery. arrived to-day and says that the
commissioners are preparing data, and
may not announce their selection until they
have secured an option on the place IN
view. Professor Singlay is placing in the
state museum large collection OF objects
of natural history Of Texas On exhibition to

Tyler, TEX. Jan. 30.-TTnE GAZETTE re-
porter noticed in the city to-day number
of gentlemen from different parts of the
state. The convocation was unusual, and
was peculiar in the fact that they were all
friends of Governor Hogg and the admins
tration, and Governor Hogg is here.
Judge Hudson of F'rio county, Mr.. La
fayette Camp of San Antonio. Mr.. Robert
Stafford OF Wood county and Sawnie Rob
ertSOn of Dallas, are among the number Of
the governors friends who happen to be
here.
The reporter met Mr.. Robertson lust
after he and the gentlemen above named
had separated on the street from Governor
Hogg, and asked him what this gathering
Meant. He replied that there was nothing
to conceal in it. that it was purely political,
and said that it had been init
mated that Governor Hogg would not
be a candidate for reelection and we
wanted it from his own lips that he would
be. 1t is a sacrifice for him to hold the
Office another term. He is a fine lawyer,
and especially fine practitioner. He
could make a fortune in Texas at
the bar, but he is satisfied
with the commission and can't refuse to
run. He is the exponent of the ideas ap-
proved in his election, ne has been faithful
to them to the letter. His
flight and his defeat would be
the triumph of the enemies of the people.
He will make the race, and will be elected.
Those who supported him before are for
him now. There has been no change, no
cause nor room for any change,
except a few that were against him before
ard a few that wanted offices and did not
get them. The mass of the people can't be
deceived. Governor Hogg will make a
thorough canvass of the state and will cor
rect the Misrepresentation that have been
made, and make it very interesting for
those who have slandered him.
.'Wny did you come to Tyler?"
1--WE fixed the date, and then finding the
governor was here. such of US as could do
so conveniently came here. The assem-
blage is informal and is confined TO those who
happened to write each other with view
of q personal assurance that the gov
ernor would make the race.''
Some of the gentlemen here were lawyers
from Rusk urging upon the governor the
appointment of Judge NJ J. Whitman, dis
trict judge. to the vacancy in the district
iudgeship caused by Judge Perkins resig-
nation.

Fulton for Governor.
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
GALVESTON, TEX, Jan. 29.-Quite an in
geniously written article will make its ap-
pearance in weekly publication here to-
morrow which very adroitly brings
Hon. r. L. Fulton, mayor of this
city, to the front as possible
candidate for governor before the next
Democratic state convention. His candi-
dacy, however, is predicated on
certain contingencies. The article does
not question Governor Hogg's personal
integrity but does his political honesty. If
he has been true to the interests of the
party and especially that element
of it that forced the nomination
in 1890, crit holds that he is
entitled to a denomination and election. But
this the article claims the governor has not
been, but that he has turned his face

INC Opposition.

There is good deal Of speculation as to
whom the opposition will run against the
governor this fall A good many are dis
posed to think that Hon. George r. Clark
viii ultimately become the candidate around
whom the opposition will flock. He is re-
garded as the leading representative Of an
idea, to<wit: opposition to the railroad COM
mission That may be regarded as his
hobby. At present, and when talking for
TIE public. ne wells his real sentiments un-
der pretended respect for the popular will,
and well-feigned desire to give the COM
mission a chance'' TO show its usefuless,
only claiming that in justice TO the rights
of the people 1t should be made elective,
This attitude IS compulsory, for he knows
perfectly well that it would be the height
of folly to denounce it or call for repeal Of
the commission law. While standing for
the railroads in reality, he IS reaching out
for the good will of the people by pre-
tended tolerance of the mode OF regulating
railroads adopted by them, and by preach.

The Special Session.

It may be safely said that ire special ses-
sion of the legislature wiz not be called TO
convene earlier than April l, and perhaps
not before June. There is hardly a doubt
that the governor win call it, but when, IS
perhaps unknown to himself. But for the
urgent need to redistrict the state and put
the Judiciary amendment into effect it
would not be thought of ut al. The, higher
courts are so far behind with their busi-
ness as TO create anemergency for speedy
legislation that will add to the present
working force on the bench.
The higher courts are all at work now
and will continue so until July l, when the
summer vacation begins. Rather than dis
organize thesessions and delay the work Of
the court, the governor may postpone the
special session until June, when the legislag
ton for the reorganization of the bench and
the creation of the civil courts CT appeals
will take effect during vacation, when the
clerks will have time to make the transfer
of cases as required under the new law.
This is merely suggestion that the gov
ernor may not consider at all, but IL is not
wholly improbable. j. +. o.

Ehr AIlIl. nhniInatl

A gentleman here with keen insight
into political movements gave me to-day
his explanation of the reason why Mills de-
clined the craftsmanship Of the commerce
committee.
1.-THE refusal,r said he. ''to sit on that
committee, did not occur until Mills had
visited Texas and held conference with
George Clark At that conferences be-
heve that Clark told him that if he went on
the commerce committee he would have to
report legislation amending the interstate
commerce law in which event he CLARK
could not cooperate with him in the sena-
torial race. Clark is unfriendly 70 the IN
terstate commerce law; and to ali such
methods of regulating commerce or rail-
roads, and Mills himself has never shown
any liking for it. If the truth were known,
it would be found that Mills is at heart
very little if any less opposed 20 the COM
mission than, Warwick himself The people
are behind the interstate law, and demand
that it be amended. iAs chairman Of the
commerce committee Mr.. Mills could not
avoid reporting appropriate measures to
that end, measures thatiwoUld in all proba-
sentiments and offensive 10 his
friend Warwick. Rather than stul-
tify himself and cool the ardor of his
friend Warwick. he declined going on the
committee and accepting the place which
be had previously indicated was acceptable

and it is the only sensible hypothesis in
which to account for his otherwise strange
and inexplicable conduct

has ever spoken a word in favor of the
commissions but have failed All that can
be learned is thathe has studiously avoided
any allusion whatever to it, and IS regarded
as one OF those who look omit rs 8 sprig OF
'paternalism.'' The jaundice of paternai-
ism became so rooted in him and his friend
Warwick during the prohibition campaign
that everything politically distasteful to
them is invested with that loathed quality
and made correspondingly hateful If the
explanation above cited be the correct one
to account for Mr.. Mills stra nge conduct.

BOLD BANK ROBBERY.
The Officers Oyerpowered With Rcvolyers
and the Sale Empticd.

T,coM,, sent. 26.-The bold robbers of
the Roslyn bank are still at large. 1t is
believed, however, that they cannot escape,
as the peculiar topography of the country
will aid the officers. The manager of
Abrams, Snipes & Co. arrived at ROslyn
last night and Immediately offered a reward
of $1,000 for the apprehension of the rob
bers. This is supplemented by the offer of
u similar amount by Cashier Alternately.
The robbers were dressed as COW boys and
showed themselves to be expert horsemen
and gunners.
1t was pay day at Roslyn Mine Saturday
and $40, 900 arrived from Tacoma in the
morning The robbers probably supposed
the money was placed in the bank, but it
was taken to the companys office. They
executed their plan in a manner which
would have done credit to the James boys.
Cashier Alternately was writing when the
first robber entered, and turned to wait on
the supposed customer. hut found himself
facing 44-calibre Colts revolver.
Dr. Lyons. who had entered just after
the highw ayman turned to go out, dashed
against pair of Colts in the hands of the
second robber. A third confederate en-
tered, picked up Cashier Abernathy's re-
rose, his head streaming with blood, and
was told to keep quiet if he wanted
to live. The third man then walked TO the
safe, which was open, took out the coin and
bills, about $1,000, showed the money in
canvas bag and threw it over his shoulder.
The three men then went out, joining two
others who had been stationed SO as to
guard all approaches.
o. Frazier, assistant cashier. who was
outside, grabbed shotgun and made for
the bank, but one of the robbers stopped
his progress by placing a bullet in his hip.
A colored man was shot in the leg and sew
eral others had narrow escapes. One of
the robbers held the reins of five splendid
horses, and as soon as the vault was looted
mounted, fired up and down the street, put
spurs to their horses and dashed away, dis
appearing on the trail over the mountains
north of Roslyn. The sheriff was notified
and large posse is in pursuit.
