A BIG SUIT
Decided in Favor Of the State in the District
Court Yesterday.

Court Yesterday.
Yesterday in the Fifty third district
court decision was handed down in
the case of The State VS.. Canda, Drake
and Strauss, purchasers and holder OF
Texas Pacific land grants. The de-
cisiou was in favor OF che state and
settles the ownership to an immense
amount of land. 1t will be remem-
bered that che legislature authorized
the attorney general to prefer suit
against all rail- roads that had acquired
lands for sidings under the law that
provided tor a certain number of acres
of land to be given railroads for every
mile of track in active operation. 1t
will also be remembered that evidence
was produced that these railroads had
by fraudulent representation secured
land which they were not entitled to,
by adding to the mileage of the main
line all switches and sidings. 1t was
this land that the attorney general
sued for, and the case decided yester-
day gives the state back $50, 900
worth of land granted on this basis
and $4,000 worth granted on void
certificates. This suit was filed by
the attorney general on June 20, 1891,
and has been watched with interest
all along. 1t is not known for a GER
tainty whether an appeal will be
taken by the defendants or not.

SUICIDES AND INSANITY INCREASING
VIENNA, June 22.-An epidemic Of
suicides have broken out in Buda
Pesth and other Hungarian towns.
Seven cases of suicide were reported
in Buda Pesth yesterday. Cases OF
insanity are increasing in number and
lunatic asylums are full. This is at
tributed to the drinking of poisonous
concoctions substituted for wine,
which has become scarce through raw
ages of phyloxeria. Iquitiz Abeels,
Jewish recruit, committed suicide in
Vienna yesterday on account i'll treat
ment to which he was subjected by
petty officers. Authorities have ord
cred an inquiry into affairs.

COTTON CIRCULAR.
hcElrOy Gilbert on the Condition Of
the Market.


NEW ORLEANS, June 23.-McEIrov
& Gilbert say:
Futures-Although cables coptioue
to report an excellent business doing
in Manchester, for India and the far
ther East,spot sales in Liverpool fail to
confirm this in a practical way, as the
sales teday are only 1000 bales. Flu
lures, no wever, have remained steady
despite the decline on this side yester.
day, and private advices lead us to be-
lleve that spinners are only waiting
until crop news takes an unfavorable
tura before they go into the market
again in earnest.
Our market opened to points
lower than yesterday, but advanced
ABOUT in response to the steady clos
ing of Liverpool The news of further
financial troubles, however, in the
northwest, particularly at Minpea-
polls, unseated the money market and
IL was impossible to maintain the ad.
vance Discouraged by the financial
outlook, some longs sold out their
holdings and caused a decline, which
resulted In a net loss on the day of 7
points on the far and 8 to 8 on the
near months. Money matters on the
other side of the pond are extremely
easy. the ordinary interest rate
ranging between l-2 and per cent,
aud it hardly seems reasonable that
cotton values will be as much affected
thereby our money troubles as on this
side. We must not lose sight of the
fact, however, that the foreign spin.
ner is always wide awake and if he
thinks that any condition of affairs
existing on this side is likely to pro-
duce lower prices he will naturally
take advantage of it, and await the
decline before buying.
Spots here have been in fair demand
with total sales of 1850 bales but at
Lie decline,
