NEW CASTLE, Aug. % The Red Star
Line steamship Illinois, Captain Spencer,
from Antwerp, passed up to Philadelphia
this morning several days overdue. She
passed in the Delaware Capes at $50 p.
m, Wednesday, and came TO anchor in
the bay for the night. She resumed her
voyage early yesterday morning, but up
to late hour last night had failed to
reach the Federal Quarantine station OF
Reedy Island
This, however, is easily accounted for
as three days ago, while at sea, she
signalled a passing vessel that her en-
gines were disarranged, and no doubt,
not having the proper appliances on
board, they could not be repaired
properly, and she is therefore obliged to
come up the bay under greatly reduced
speed She is expected to arrive at her
wharf a. late hour to-day.

AGAINST THE BONDS.
Aftirms What the Light Has Said
An Election Scheme.


An Election Scheme.
Translated from the Stats Zeiting.l
Annent, the proposed 100000,
bonds for BeXar county roads, the
''Texas Stats Zeitung" says at the
end of lengthy argument on the
subject:
"The proposed election by our
county court refers to voluntary
taxation of the citizen of Bexar
county, in order, or the gentlemen
Of the county court say: "to repair
and improve the county roads.
Others believe it to be but an eX-
cuse to have funds ready for the
next county election, for the pur-
pose of drawing, literally dragging,
a sufficient number of MeXicans
into the county for employment by
the present officials in order to
assist in their reelection.
Which of the two may be cor
rect, we cannot now say, but to
judge the future from the past, it
is conclusive proof that the science
of holding office has been well
studied, and it can be said with
positive assurance, that the politi-
cal anglers are manipulating at all
times to maintain themselves in
office, and that the funds in the
city and county treasury are at all
times the most solid foundations to
gain that end.
Now, citizens of BeXar county,
it depends entirely upon you to is
sue bonds, and whether you have
faith in the usefulness of the issu-
ing of the same, in accordance
with the proposition of the county
court, or whether you prefer not to
adopt the pleasant (0 proposition
of the county court, and retain the
money in your pocket, your de-
cision will not disturb an equi-
librium.
