REPUBLICANS AT DALLAS.
WHAT THE OTHER FACTION IS Do
ING-BIG FIGHT.
Quincy Warning as Usual on the
whites-Probable Ticket to
Be Nominated.

Special TO the LIGHT.
DALLAS, Tex, Aug. Is, II 80 p.
m.-Chairman Moore, of the state
executive committee, called the
black and tan Republican state
convention to order at noon today
in the big convention tabernacle
There are nearly one thousand del
egates and as many visitorS pres
ent. The delegates are about
equally divided between black and
whites. There will be no fusion
with the Populists. There will be
no fight over the platform. There
will be no scramble for places
on the state ticket, but there
will be big fight for per-
manent chairman Of the con-
vention and a bigger fight
for chairman Of the state executive
committee. There is a Quincy and
anti-Cuney fight for the spoils in
1896, should Republican National
administration be elected. Quincy
10 UllC SlIlui tCoU IL poI-
itician in the south, and one of the
most resourceful manipulators and
hardest fighters in the country.
The fight for chairman of the state
committee is between the present
chairman, N. B. Moore, of Fort
Worth; E. III. Terrell, of San An
tonic; r. B. Rentfro, ex-collector
of customs at Brownsville; John
Grant and Mr.. Burke, of Austin.
Quincy selects the field against
Moore. He says:
II am unalterably opposed to
the reelection Of Judge Moore,
who Is chairman of the Republi-
can State Executive committee, be-
cause l believe he is in active SYM
pathy with the Lily Whites, who
are in open rebellion against the
organized Republican party of
Texas" The chances are that
Quincy will win. f. r. Meek, of
Fort Worth, and Charles Ogden, Of
San Antonio, have refused to allow
the use of their names as candi-
dates for governor. A forecast OF
the state ticket look S like this:
For governor, Judge w. X, Ma.
henson, of Georgetown, by accla-
nation r. B. Rentfro, of Browns
vile, or ID. Quinn, Of Sulphur
Springs, for lieutenant governor !;
E. r. Meek, of Fort Worth, for at
torney general G. A. Tomlinson, Of

French Repulsed in the soudan.

PARIS, France, Aug. 2S.-Most
startling news has reached here
from Senegal, West Africa. Ac-
cording to a report received at St.
Louis, the French garrison at Tim
buctOo, after three days desperate
fighting with Tauregs and other
hostile tribes, which have been in
vesting that city for long time
past, made a sortie. The beleagur-
ing forces were overwhelming in
numbers and fell upon the sortie
party, fairly annihilating them.
This news has caused cOnsterna-
ton in many circles, as it is the
second serious disaster the French
have met with in the vicinity Of
Timbuctoo since that important
Soudanese town was occupied by
the French, early in the present
wear.

The Chief Mesquite Sails.

NEW YORK, August 2S.--The
Steamer Alena, which arrived to-
day, took as passengers from Port
Limon to Kingston, Jamaica, Chief
Clarence, of the Mosquito Islands,
and four of his followers, who took
refuge aboard the British man of
war Mohawk, at Bluetields, and
were taken to Port Limon, where
they remained until the arrival of
the Alena, when they embarked
again for Kingston. Chief Clar-
ence was reported as saying that
he expected to be back again at
Bluefields within a month, which
is regarded altogether unlikely.

Will Have Recess Too.

WASHINGTON, August 2S.-The
Senate committee on rules will not
sit during the recess of Congress
and attempt to revise the Senate
rules.
Several times during the closing
days Of the present session, when
the Senate was without a quorum,
Blackburn, the chairman, tried to
have adopted a resolution author
izing the committee to consider a
revision Of the rules during the re-
recess, but it has been steadily OBJ
jected to by Senator Blanchard.
The motive of the Louisiana sena-
tor is not concealed.
He says that he does not want
the rules revised so that debate
may be cut off and a vote forced
upon the tariff repeating the sugar
duty. Louisiana Senators will
fight a change in the rules, as will
the Senators opposed to a removal
of the sugar duties. Added to these
are the Senators who do not be-
lieve that under any circumstances
should there be a change in the
rules which would curtail the
liberty of debate. Consequently
an effort to change the rules when
the session begins in December,
probably, would not meet with
aly success
