LAREDO, WEBB COUNTY, TEX, Feb. A.
Hon. John J. Dix, representative of this,
the Eighty-third representative district,
arrived in Laredo tonight and is the
bearer of a strong petition to Governor
Hogg at Austin. The petition recites
the recent assassination of Rufus
Glover, scout in the service of the United
States troops in Duval county, operating
against the Cara movement. 1t states
that his murder and the Cara excitement
is a severe detriment to that county and
the deplorable affair has set back the county
augment the state troops now in the field
there.
A large mass meeting met there tonight
and the following resolutions were adopted {:
''Whereas, on account of recent disturb
ances on this border much disorder has
been occasioned, it has become apparent
that an increase of the state forces is nee
essary to preserve order and arrest Offend
ers; and
Wherein, B. Glover, a law abiding and
worthy citizeno of Duval county, while
acting as guide in search of offenders
against the law was assassi-
mated, it should be brought
to the attention of the chief
executive of the state as evidence of
the existing emergency; and,
Whereas, the citizens of Duval county
have, by resolution petitioned the governor
for relief; therefore, be it
Resolved that we indorse the action of
said petitioners, and join in the request that
the governor of the state send promptly
such force as will afford protection to lives
and property.

Warwick to be Called.

DALLAS, TEX, Feb. 1.-THE plans laid by
the Clark anti-commission gathering here
Monday are gradually coming to light. The
word is passed around in political circles
with considerable semblance of reliability
that the plan decided upon is for the anti
sub-treasury Alliance to call upon Mr.. Clark
to run for governor at their meeting TO be
held here on the 10th inst The secret con-
clave did not make public their selection
because nearly every member of 1t was
known to be opposed to the commission.
They were known as a body of political
lawyers and they selected man opposed to
the commission, railroad lawyer, a ma
tional bank advocate and an opponent to
free silver coinage. These facts were too
patent to be concealed, and to counterfeit
their damaging effects as far as possible
they decided to seek the Alliance meeting
as an instrument to make the call. It is be-
heved that this plan will work unless the
delegates to that convention revolt from
the leadership of those who are supposed to
be steering the meeting. 1t is possible that
they will refuse to be handled for such
purpose.
Interest is now centering on the move
ments of that faction which has declared
war upon both Governor Hogg and Mr..
Clark They are canvassing the field for a
leader and it thought he will be located
somewhere in North Texas: more than
likely the Panhandle will furnish the man.
Something in this direction is expected to
develop very soon. This faction will con-
tend for a railway commission elected by
the people, and they will do some cam
paigning on the line of showing up the true
inward anti-commission spirit of their
friends, the enemy. They are going to
make an independent and stubborn fight
but as between the administration and the
Windsor hotel crowd they are less embit-
tered against the former. They expect to
draw from the Grange and Alliance and the
independent class of agriculturists who are
without membership in either order and
who do not agree with the position of the
administration.
1t is predicted by some prominent Al
lance men that in case an effort is made to
deliver the meeting of February 10 to the
Clark crowd, another split in Alliance
ranks will be sure to follow, because the
rank and file will not accept Mr.. Clarl's
expressed views on the railroad commits
sion, national banks and free coinage.

Bolt in Kansas.

TOPEKA, KAN, Feb. 4-The executive
committee of the Farmers Alliance, which
seems to have created dissension in the
ranks by appointing i've delegates to St.
Louis who are opposed to the sub-treasury
scheme, held a meeting here to-day
TO find way out of the difficulty.
a compromise scheme adopted which the
committee thinks viii satisfy the sub
treasury demands is to allow the
men named by the boiling con-
gressional delegations TO accompany the
men named by the executive com
mittee and delegates. 1t is a complete
back-down, for the committee boilers, hay
ing won so far, may insist on
q solid sub-treasury delegation. Van
B. Prather stated to-day that
he thought this compromise would
bring the opposing factions into har-
mony. ''Kansas is entitled TO twenty dele
gates he said, land appointed only five.
1t will be an easy matter for
the delegates elected by congress
sional districts to go as part
of the regular delegation and still keep it
down 20 the required number
DR.. McLallin who was forcing the fight
on the appointed delegates, refused to
further discuss the DIdhs of the boilers,

WASHINGTON. Feb. At is conceded here
that Governor Hill can have the Democratic
nomination, and many congressman think
his nomination affords the only chance for
the party to win. On the other hand, they
cannot get him to agree TO say that he
would accept the nomination, or that he
thinks it is the only or best nomination to
be made. To an intimate friend he remarked
the other day: '"There is no hurry about
this nomination; let US look around little
and plan the battle first, so we can win
with any man. 1t is more important to get
the party in good fighting trim and on a
vantage ground than anything else. The
record this congress makes will have a
great deal to do with the desirability of the
nomination. While deeply appreciate the
thousands of testimonials of friendship and
support that 1 am receiving from all sec
tions OF our common country, yet it is. better
to look more to the plan of battle.''
There is no Cleveland talk here, and very
little mention of any particular Western
man; perhaps Boies and Gray are men
toned oftener than any others from that
section, but neither as often as Senator
German. Since the Gillian affair the Re-
publicans are getting very nervous about
Harrison's nomination, as they are fearful
of disclosures during the campaign. Sport
ing men are betting on Blaine for the Re
publican nomination and Hill for the Demo-
cratic nomination.

That Cotton Rate Discussion.

Special 10 the Gazette
AUSTIN, TEX, Feb. 4.-The commission
had another session today with the cotton
compress men and the railroads. The old
condition prevailed. That is, Galveston
and Houston against the interior Calves
ton was represented by Messrs. Gresham
and Ladd. A number of interior buyers
and congressman were on hand
also Polk of the Arkansas Pass and Crosse
close of the Cotton Belt. Very little that
was new was elected, the discussion being
limited to the dispute between Galveston
and interior buyers over the 80 cent Differ
entail between fiat and compressed cotton.
Carter of Dallas said that the interior cotton
buyers and compress men were satisfied with
the existing cotton rates. No wonder, said
Mir. Gresham, with so cents a bale in their
favor. This advantage was denied Dy in
terror buyers, who told Mr.. Gresham that
he could have his cotton compressed in the
interior and reap the advantage if there was
any. No, he did not want that He wanted
to compress at Galveston. The interior
buyers said that they represented 1,500, 600
bales of cotton, the traffic in which is sought
to be disturbed and thrown out of gear in
order to benefit Galveston. They protested.
Polk said give US the present fat rate
as the rate on cotton, with the option to the
carrier of COMPRISING out Of the rate, and
the roads will be satisfied. That did not
suit Gresham, for he feared the roads
would use the option against Gal
weston congresses. The interior now
asked if Galveston wanted the earth
Mr. Carter was emphatic in saying that
the cotton raiser got the benefit of every
cent of reduction in freight rates and ex-
planned how. No one disputed the state
ment. Judge Reagan intimated that if the
roads would revoke their action at the
St. Louis meeting the commission would
agree to Folks proposition concerning
the single rate on cotton. Polk said they
have already revoked it. 1t looks as if the
commission would be glad to make single
rate and relegate the question of compress
ing to the roads and the shippers.
