eager listeners. ........A

rHE CoMluSMoN AMENDED.

The friends of the administration
have been charging George Clark
with being secretly an enemy to the
commission. Clark sprung fine
large surprise on them at Cameron,
when he declared himself in favor OF
extending the power of the commits
sion and giving it authority to arbi-
trate differences between railroad
companies and employees. Only few
months since the country was suffer-
ing from the effects of long and
vexatious strike, and the complaints
were bitter then because the commits
sion, which could decide less impor-
tant questions relating to freight,
could not touch this weightier
trouble. The commission as board
of arbitration would be blessing to
the people, and there is no reason
why the railroads also should not
welcome such an addition to it's
power. In advocating such an amend
ment, Clark has made ten strike,
and will capture many votes that had
settled themselves on the other side.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1892-05-12
THE REACTION.

There is no doubt that TIE demon
STATIONS at Clcburne have given not
only Hogg and Clark but their follow
ers fit of intense disgust, and the re-
action is setting in. 1t is somewhat
difficult, now, for either candidate to
arouse any great enthusiasm in an
audience. 1t may be that the Gle
burne affair, unpleasant as it was,
may have a good effect at last. 1t may
be the means of bringing the people
to a condition where they will be
willing to stop and think for them
selves, to listen to whatever arg ument
a man may have to make, and to
choose deliberately the issue which
appeals to their reason. Shouting
loud enough to rend the heavens and
kissing an opponent down, do not
make any man a better politician.
There is such thing as taking part
in a political campaign without bid
ding farewell to sense and reason. If
the Cleburne debate, which resolved
itself into such a grand fiasco, should
have some effect toward changing
political mobs into collections of sem
sible men, able to think for them
selves, Texas may consider that she
has gained a great deal.

Special to the Statesman.
Mt. VERNON, Tex, May SIS. M.
Long, the attorney at this place, who
Is under Indictment for forge and
embezzlement, and who forfeited his
bond yesterday, today has gone to
parts unknown. Mr. Long resides
five or six miles in the country, and
when he came to town he came into
the court room and remained few
minutes in the forenoon, his case hav-
ing been set for 11:30 o'clock. When
that hour arrived his case was called,
but Mr.. Long was not present, and a
forfeiture was taken on his bond. The
sheriff began search for him, and
found him at the residence of
his brother-in-law, j. f. Candle in
this place, apparently very sick. The
sheriff reported his condition to the
court, who would not force him to
bring Long out for fear of endanger-
ing his life, if he was really sick. The
sheriff, not thinking that he was able
to get away, did not place a guard
over him last night, and when he
went down this morning he found that
he was gone and Immediately tele-
graphed in all directions and sent
deputies in search of him. The sheriff
is much troubled over the matter and
offers 500 reward for him in any Jail
in the state.

Robert Lincoln Not Candidate.

NEW YORK, May 5.-Chas. Emory
Smith, minister to Russia, arrived
here yesterday, and was asked by a
reporter what he thought of Robert
Lincoln as presidential candidate
Said Mr.. Smith: "Lincoln certainly
is not candidate, and will not be.
If the logic of events did not call for
the denomination of the president Mr..
Lincoln would naturally be considered
among those eligible for the nomina-
ton. Mr.. Harrison, 1 predict, will
have no serious opposition in the con-
vention." Mr. Smith stopped over in
London and had quite long talk
there with Mr.. Lincoln. The minister
to st. James talked candidly about
the convention and about himself,
and it is supposed Mr.. Smith voices
his feelings.

BIG RAILROAD SUIT.
Involving Claim For $500, 900 Against the
Southern Pacific Railroad.
Special to The Statesman.

Special to The Statesman.
GALVESTON, May SIN the suit OF
Samuel s. Sands ct al. against the
Galveston, Harrisburg and San An
tonic Railway company ct al, there
was filed today by the defendants a
petition and motion in the United
States circuit court here as to jurisdic-
tion and that the temporary injunc-
tion granted by the Harris county dis
trict court, where the suit was first
brought to the compliments, restrain
ing the defendants from transferring,
disposing of or hypothecating in any
way, etc., of said railway company, be
set aside and that the defendants be
permitted to continue to operate said
railroad as it is now being operated.
The defendants further question the
legality of the claim of the complain
ants and allege that the state district
court, in which the suit was first
brought, had no jurisdiction as the
parties against whom it was brought
are non-residents and that suit should
have been instituted in the United
States court as the only one having
complete Jurisdiction. They also al
lege that United States Judge Bril-
quaint before whom the case was
brought in chambers at Paris, Texas,
April 25, erred in declaring that his
court did not have jurisdiction
and ordering the case back to the dis
trict court of Harris county for adjudi-
cation, and they pray that the judges
of the United States circuit court set a
day at which a hearing may be had.
Judge Pardee has granted the prayer
of the petitioners, and the case will
be heard by him on May 20. The case
involves suit against the Galveston,
Harrisburg and San Antonio Railway
of 100000.

Floods in Illinois and Fox Rivers Invade
Stores and Homes.
OTTAWA, ILL.,, May 5.-The most de-
structive flood in the history of the
city visited this locality last night.
Lying at the confluence of Illinois and
Fox rivers last nights storm took
them unawares and caught many
residences at Marseilles, Ottawa, La
Sale and Peru slumbering peaceful
and content when at their very doors
was raging flood. Many narrow
escapes were had in the flight for safe
ty, but no loss of life is reported. The
manufacturing district, where is To-
Gated the glass works were sufferers
from the flood. There is washout
400 feet in length one mile west of the
city on the Rock Island, another 800
feet two miles west and one 400 feet
long at Twin Bluffs, between there and
La Sale. All communication is shut off
by washouts. The lowest estimate
put upon the time necessary to repair
the breaks and re-establish traffic and
mail service is twenty-four hours. The
main business street of Peru was in
undated. Merchants and residents
had been suddenly aroused in The
night to find an angry flood invading
their stores and home. During the
afternoon the water receded rapidly at
Ottawa, but there wero no noticeable
changes at La Sale and Peru.

CINCINNATI, O., May 5.-The inter-

hearing the complaint OF the Cincin-

Pacific railroads. The complaints al
lege discrimination against Cincin-
natl and in favor of merchants and
manufacturers of the eastern sea-
board territory. Among the specifi-
cations they make is that while the
distance from Cincinnati to Knoxville
is only 80 per cent of that from New
York, yet on first-class freight the
charge from Cincinnati is 20 per cent
of that from New York. They say
that freight from Cincinnati to Knox
vile should not exceed As per cent,
that from Atlanta 60, Meridian, Miss,
65. They ask an order compelling the
road to afford Cincinnati fair oppor-
tunity with other localities.

telegrapbed to his principal at
Kansas City, the representative
of the agricultural department for the
Western district, asking what action
he should take if the owners of the
cattle endeavored to drive the herd
across the line. A message was re-
ceived this evening directing the dep
uty TO stop the cattle by force if need
be and if necessary to call upon the
United States troops to support his
authority. AS the business is confined
