Doing?"
1t is gathering the necessary data and
statistics to give accurate information to
all inquiries concerning the exact state
and condition of trade and every indus
Trial enterprise. This in absolutely nee
essary. for any city that invites capital
and wishes to secure that share OF devel
opment and upbuilding enterprises. to
which we are entitled. 1t is giving out
this Information TO all parts of the coun-
try to stimulate inquiries. The secre-
tarY can show, both from the registration
OF visitors. letters received from people
from other states, as we'll as from rail-
roads, that a very large number of set
tiers have been brought here from other
states during the past year. The cham
Der is collecting an exhibit of fruits and
other products of the soils of southwest
Texas that, while yet small, is matter of
astonishment even to people who thought
they were we'll informed about this Sec
ton. The secretary can show that the
gathering of this exhibit and the great
advertising given this country by having
1t here and writing 1t up throughout the
country, is causing more people to plant
fruits, vegetables and nuts. and develop
this great paying industry in Southwest
Texas than has ever been done in any ten
years before. The secretary keeps posted
as to all important meetings and conven-
tions with a view of inducing them TO
hold sessions in this city. He was sent to
Houston to invite the State Teachers
association to hold their Worlds fair
convention in San Antonio next year.
He went to Houston gle-handed,
found that Galveston and her friends, sup
ported by corterie of teachers, who had
been in the habit of carrying everything
on in their own way in the state asSocia-
ton, had about captured the association
for the next year. The secretary was told
that it was settled and that Galveston
would get it. Heinformed them that moth
ing but vote Of the association would be
considered by him as a selection; and he
went to work. The result shows how
well he performed his part since, arriving
there only on the day that the vote was TO
be taken, he had San Antonio selected by
over Is per cent. of the teachers present.
There will be between 1000 and 1900 of
them next year. This alone will pay the
city many more times than 1t costs to
keep such an institution as this. The
above is only a very small fraction of
what is being done exactly in this line
and it is astonishing that so many peopl
know or care anything for such work.
There is certainly no man that has So
much accurate information, necessary in
industrial development, concerning this
city and section, as the secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce. This is what he
Is getting paid for, and he thinks he
ought to do what he is employed to do
and he does it. He and his assistant, Mr..
w. j. Weber, are constantly busy from
morning till night on the work as out
lined above.

The situation Changed.

PITTsBURG, Pa, July IL. - The
militia has been assembled with
three days rations, to be in readiness
to move to Homestead.
HOMESTEAD, Pa. July 1.-THE law
has resumed its force and now people
are not stopped by self constituted VIZ
giants. Gov. Pattison's order calling
the militia here causes this change.
At meeting of the advisory commit
tee today it was decided they could
not fight the militia, the whole state
of Pennsylvania or the United
States government, and every
possible courtesy will be extended
the troops. 1t is reported the troops
will give the company full possession
of the iron works and protect them.
There are 10000 troops expected.

A BOX DROWNED,
Went Bathing and Sank Quickly.

Yesterday afternoon little Roy, the ten
year-Old son of j. NJ. StOOkey, who resides
at No. 3lS Nolan street, went from his
home, accompanied by his eldest sister,
Miss Grace, and another young lady, to
the river, about 500 yards from the City
brewery. The three went in bathing and
were heartily enjoying the sport when
Roy began to go down stream, floating as
the girls thought. In the centre of the
river was flowing quite a swift current
and he had gotten into that portion and
was taken with the flow. About thirty
feet from where the ladies were
and then began to sink He went down
murmur, sank, and nothing more was
seen Of him. His sister was so shocked
that she could not realize what had Oc-
CURED. The other lady Immediately in
formed some men who were near and
they appeared at once on the scene and
spent the entire evening in searching for
the body.
The divers worked last night until late
and left the sad spot. thinking that the
body could not be located. This morning
about o'clock. Mr. Henry Houston, one
of the gentlemen who searched so eagerly
yesterday, went to the river and again
began diving in various places, think
ing that If a thorough investigation
of the surrounding fifty o seventy five feet

made, that probably the little fellow could
be located. He worked constantly until
s o'clock, and on diving down in about
twenty feet of water, thirty feet from
where the body was supposed to
have been, he found it under a pile of
rubbish and tangled up in grasses
and moses. Judging from this fact, it is
supposed that he made struggles for life,
and by so doing, tangled himself up as
above mentioned. Mr.. Houston had some
trouble in getting him loose but finally
succeeded and then took the boy
to the home of his parents. His nose
was in a terrible condition, having
been bitten by some insects and was COW
cred with blood. His body is very blue
and he does not look at all natural.
The funeral will take place from his
late residence, 31S Nolan street, this after
noon at o'clock and will be conducted
by Rev. c. c. Mclean.

A long, lank negro who gave his name

suspicious character preferred against

very indignant at being arrested. and
claimed that he had letters of recOmmen

ALFRED Z. VoRLEY- WRIGH1

To the Editor of the San Antonio "Ex-
press"
Dear Sir:-"Your editorial of TODAY.
commenting on letter written by me,
and which appears in another part OF
your journal, may be amusing to a class,
J out 1t has no logical connection with the
point at issue. There is no attempt at a
rational handling of question, which,
according to the best authorities, will
| call for solution in the immediate future.
There is an absence OF that majestic
energy In behalf Of truth and healthy
enquiry which usually characteriZeS the
press of today, and which in the past has
been one Of the chief forces in the eman-
cipation of the human race. Your editO-
rial deals with me as an individual, and
does not touch the question raised. As
soon as read 1t will be forgotten, unless
the presence OF the person it was intend
ed to Stitle recalls it. 1t is a melancholy
attempt by a reference to the youth and
ignorance OF the writer, to stamp out a
truth which rings in the hearts of the
millions of America.
All realize that Unere are now but two
forces in operation, socialism and an
archy, and an able writer has said that
the spirit of corporations of this day
places them among the latter. If the Ex-
press were not so naturally occupied with
its corporate friends, it would see the
folly of closing one eye on the eve of this
great crisis.
There is nothing in my letter of yeSter-
day, as far as am able to judge, which
indicates either perpleXity, mental
anguish or virtuouS approval of acts of
atroctty without cause; and | certainly
should not for moment have thought of
telling the readers of your paper that the
earnings of these men ranged from four to
fifteen dollars per day.
In conclusion | would suggest that the
Express might with great advantage to
its readers, improve the style of its edt-
torials.
beg that you will print again the edi-
tOrial referred to, under this letter, and
ask your subscribers whether good deal
of it is not meaningless and stupid twad-
die, and under this enquiry print the fol-
lowing coupon
TO OUR PATRONS.
Are you DESTROYS that the Express
should become a really intelligent and
instructive medium, or shall IL continue
in the character of the kings fool" for
we have at last decided to assume either
one role or the other"
Please express your sentiments.

to print it, and therefore beg the favor
of publicity for it in your journal. Copy

rHE GOvERNOR AND THE sHERIFF.

THE GOVERNOR AND THE SHERIFF..
The IatelHgencer thinks that Gov.
PArrIsoN should have sent the State
troops to Homestead as soon as he was
informed Of the failure of Sheriff Nc
CLEARY's handful of deputies to pre-
serve order. The TnteItiqcacer is ignor-
ant Of the Governors duty in such a
case. 1t was not his duty to send mill
tary aid until the power of the civil
authorities had been exhausted Twelve
deputy sherifTs is not the limit of the
civil power Of Allegheny county. Gov.
PArTIsoN in declining to send troops to
Homestead said in explanation;
'eFhere is no information received from
Homes tead to warrant any interference on
the mart of the State The sheriff must
exhaust all Of his authority before the State
will interfere The State lends its aid
when the local authorities are overbOrne.
The sheriff has employed bat twelve depu-
ties up to the present time, his ordinary
force. If the emergency is as great as
alleged he should have employed thou
sand. It is not the purpose Of the military
to act as police officers The citizens OF
Homestead are industrious, Woodworking,
intelligent people. Most Of them, II not
all, own their homes. In such a community
there ought 70 be no difficulty as to the adj.
iustments Of their troubles; certainly no
question as to the preservation OF the peace
by the local authorities. The civil authori-
ties must in the end settle the differences.
1 look for a speedy adjustment"
1t looks very much as If the sheriff of
Allegheny county had it in his mind to
shirk the responsibility and put it on
the shoulders of the Governor.
Had the sheriff used his full power
the fearful carnage OF Wednesday
probably would have been averted. 1t
was the invasion of Pinkerton hire
Iings that excited the ire of the locked
out workmen who would doubtless have
respected a display OF power by the civil
authorities. AS Governor PATTIsoN
says, soldiers are not policemen, and, as
he intimates, it would have been an in
suit to the people Of Homestead and
Allegheny county to have sent troops
before the civil authorities were over
borne.
