A Scotch Parliament.

LONDON. March 19-Twelve Of the lead
ing Scotch members have introduced in
parliament bill for the creation of a Scot
fish legislative body. All the Liberal mem
bers returned from Scotland have given
adhesion to the measure and many English
members, Conservatives, have privately
signifed approval of the bill 1t attracts
attention chiefly for its bearing upon the
question of Ireland. 1t establishes in Scot
land legislature consisting of the Queen
and Scottish legislative body to make laws
with exception of matters Of imperial addi-
ton to the army and navy postal telegraph
services, treaties of peace and war, trace,
navigation. coinage, copyright, patents,
rights Of succession to the crown or re-
gency. Also the Scottish legislature shall
not make any law for the establishment or
tor endowing any religion or prohibiting
the free exercises thereof.
The executive government Of Scotland to
be vested in the queen and carriedson by
secretary for Scotland. Then there is a
provision that the ''power and authority"
of the imperial parliament shall in no wise
be diminished or restrained by anything
herein contained. This clause is obviously
inserted to soothe the fears Of the Unionists
who attach much meaning even to a verbal
recognition of the sovereignty Of the West
minister parliament.

BLESSED THE SHIP.
Orthodox Greek Clergy Board the In
diana, Give Thanks and Make Divine
Blesslng-Grateful Russians

LIBAN, March 10. - The American
steamer Indiana, Capt Sargent, which
brought to this port the gifts of -four and
provisions by Americans for the Russian
famine sufferers, has since the discharge
of her cargo been lying some distance off
shore. Last night she was towed in the
harbor by the steamers Concordia and Vor-
daworts. Certainly if unbounded popular
enthusiasm is proof of appreciation, the
officers and crew Of the Indiana will carry
the gratitude of the Russian people. When
the Indiana passed the jetty she was greeted
with loud and enthusiastic cheering by the
crowd assembled on the jetty. The steamer
was received by the communal authorities
and large delegation CT the leading mer-
chants of the port. After she moored a
number of orthodox Greek clergy proceeded
aboard her and held thanksgiving service,
which concluded with the formal and i'm
pressive ceremony of blessing the ship.

nous with the highest business authority.
In the autumn of 1889 occurred the death
Of MIR. Kellum, MIR. Rotan succeeding to
the business, and a few weeks after con-
solidated with Shear, Davis & Co.. rival
house, the interest of the two houses into q
stock company, under the name of the
Rotan grocery company, of which MIR.
Rotan is president. He is also president of
the First national bank, one of the soundest
banking institutions in Texas.
Personally Edward Rotan is a slender
dark-haired man, with broad, thoughtful
brow and sensitive face, quick and decided
in his movements, with rapid, trenchant
speech; man who posts himself thor
oughly about his undertakings, then de-
votes himself with forceful perseverance to
his purposes.
His business qualifications, his high
sense of justice, his willingness to look at
all sides of question, his sagacity and
clear headedness, and the moral dignity of
the man, together with his intellectual at
tainments and personal fascination, have
drawn about him the love and confidence
of the people who know him.
Should he be elected to the Office of gov
ernor, the people might safely rest in the
confidence that they had bestowed their
high gift where a shadow would never fall
upon its honor, that they had put it into
clean hands which would receive it as
public trust and render it back to them
with as much of large-hearted patriotism
and faithful service, as he could per-
form. N

An Alarming Condition.

MOZAMBIQUE, March 19-An alarming
condition of affairs prevails at Quilimane, a
Portuguese colony on the Quitman river.
There have lately been several revolts
against the Portuguese authorities among
the natives on the Szembisi. A short time
ago native soldiers attached to the expedi-
ton under command of Lieut.. Continbro,
revolted and pillaged the country and all
traders who fell into their hands. The
natives continued to gain strength, and
finally determined to make an attack on
Quilimane itself. A force numbering 5000
natives now surrounds the town, and an
attack is momentarily expected. The au-
thorities at Quilimane armed all able-bodied
men in the town, and prepared to make a
desperate resistance against the attempt to
capture the place. AS soon as the news Of
the condition of affairs reached Mozam-
bique, Portuguese gun-boat with 100 sol
diers on board was dispatched to Quilimane
to assist in repelling the natives.

some one to face the Federal sharpshooters,

Southern forces lay intrenched, and bring

Young Rotan. who commanded MS company

In the absence of volunteers, mis- duty then

''Give me the canteens, 1 will CO." and he

The rough soldiers cheered the act and
threw their arms around him.
When the war was over he went back to
Sparta to find his home had been burned

troublous times, left penniless. He taught
school for six months with gun at side. In

writer has heard Mr.. Rotan tell how many
a time scowling faces would appear at the
door Of his little school house and seeing
him armed, would ride muttering away. At
last this life became unbearable and he
bought a pony and started for Texas. Ar
irving at Waco with naught to bless him
self with but worn out pony and q steady
soul, he began teaching school by day and
keeping books by night for the mercantile
house of Kellurn & Sparks. He continued
these double labors for two years, during
which time he married. Upon the dissolu-
ton OF the old firm Mr.. Kellum admitted
Rotan to partnership, establishing the
wholesale grocery house of Kellum & Rotan
in the year 1871 which dates the commence
