TAYLOR, Tex, Aug. 12.-The second
shipment of cotton of this seasons
growth, "a bales, was received at the
Taylor compress this evening. II was
from Rockdale and consigned to Bax.
ter & Heard for the account of Geo. Fl.
McFarren & Bro.
Considerable dissatisfaction exiets
among the Mis- ourl, Kansas and
Texas railway employ es here concern
ing the circulars issued by Geo. Gould
from New York few days ago and
addressed to the Missouri Pacific off,
cials at st. Louis, reducing the
salaries of all employees of
the system who were heretofore re-
ceiving 500 per month and over to a
cut of 10 per cent of former wages. 1t
is feared that q general strike along
the line will be the result.
1t has been figured out by some OF
the county officials at Georgetown
that Williamson county pays for the
support of the state government
S7,305 96, or about ,2E cents per capita
of her population.

authorize the issue of per cent bonds
by the secretary of the treasury and
with the consent of the president, pay
able at pleasure after 10 years, and to
be used to provide for any obligations
of the government in periods of
financial difficulty. These measures
seem a necessary supplement to the
suspension of silver purchases; but
other financial legislation may well be
left for later and mature consideration.
This being done, the situation will be
cured.
At the close of the week there is a
decided improvement in the situation
among the banks. They have made
considerable gain in currency during
the week, and the arrivals of gold from
England have relieved the tension in
every direction. The general opinion
among managers is that the danger
point is now passed and that, with the
further supplies of coin to come from
Europe, affairs will gradually work
into an easier position.

Further reinforcements of cavalry and
infantry arrived from Poona and are
camping in the streets. The queen
has sent telegram to Lord Harris,
governor Of Bombay, expressing grief
on account OF the riots. The newspa-

cessfully Held Up in Louisiana.
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 15.-The south
bound Texas and Pacific train was
held up south Of Mansfield, this state,
last night. Masked men boarded the
train and covered the engineer and
made him take the train to a secluded
spot. Then the express car was
enteted and the small safe rihed OF q
few dollars. The robbers demanded
that the combination safe be opened
but the combination was not known
to the messenger and could not be
opened until the train reached the
city. The robbers made their escape
when they found they were unable to
open the combination OF the safe.
which contained several thousand dol
lars and valuables. The new system
of the express company's in supplying
the combination OF the safe only to
certain station agents alone prevented
last night attempt from being success
full.
