WASHINGTON, June %. Richard
Q. Kerens of St. Louis, member of
the Intercoionial Railway commits.
sion, who has been in the city for the
past few days, speaks enthusiastically
of the work which has been done, and
says that when the report of the COM
mission is published it will be found
to be more interesting than a novel
because of the Information of an I'M
known region that it will contain.
"The country" he said in a brief in
view, sis a sealed book now but the
report which is in preparation will
throw flood of light upon it and
will L think be q means
of attracting such attention,
to it as insure the building of the
road. Possibly it will not come in our
day." he added, "but there is no rea-
son why the day should be long de.
layed when man can get into the
palace Car and ride to the heart of
South merica.
The proposed road will open up the
territory of Is republics south of Mex
leo to the trade and immigration of
the United states and the disposition
Of the people of that region has shown
the world the favor with which the
enterprise will be received. We have
received assurance that every coun>
try through which the line has been
surveyed will make the land grants
and other concessions to insure the
building of the road. The United
States will not find it necessary to
grant any further aid than that nec-
essary to make the facts known as
will be done in this case. The build
ing of the road will follow as surely
as it followed the publication of the
reports of the Pacific railroads"
Mr.. Kerens says the resources of the
region which will be developed by
this great line will be found to be
marvellous and that a country suffi-
cient to support population of 200,-
100000 people will be opened up. Mr..
Kerens thinks it the place of all 9TH
ers for the United States to send it's
surplus immigration.

dent you will gain in him a competent
and gifted man, able to impress his
views upon the convictions OF mis- stu
dents, to open large and wide hori-
zon to them, and to guide them judic-
iously through the more intricate
problems that cow excite the world of
thought"
Prof, James H. Tufts of the Uni
versity of Chicago, in speaking of Mr..
Mezes, says He is of Southern
family. He is very clear thinker;
He is very thorough scholar of broad
culture and wide reading, and is more
over a gentleman.
From what we have learned of Pro-
fessor Mezes, we have no doubt but
that by reason of his excellent training
and thorough scholarship that his ad-
dition to the faculty of the University
Of Texas will be valuable acquisi-
ton.

NOT THEI8 FAULT.
Commissioner Foster Says if Judge Reagan
Don't Sweep the Field He is Mistaken.

Commissioner Foster, in discussing
the situation yesterday with number
of gentlemen at the capitol, said that
the action of certain Democratic lead
ers were driving good men out of the
party. He cited as a case in point
Bell county. He said that county had
instructed for Culberson through the
slick wire working of politicians,
while the people really wanted Judge
Reagan as their choice. He argued
that this utter ignoring of the peoples
wish was what was filling the ranks OF
Populism so rapidly. He asserted
that unless the people, and
not the wire>pullers, were
given more consideration the
ranks of Democracy in Texas would
rapidly decrease and the Populist
party grow proportlonately larger:
Mr.. Foster discussed along this line OF
argument for a considerable time and
finally Topped off by saying that
Judge Reagan would carry most Of the
counties that would hold conventions
today week. He said they were not
expecting so very much today, but
next Saturday they would sweep the
field and they would be big counties
too. Mr.. Foster added, that in case
the Judge didn't do all that, he was
groomed for next Saturday and his
friends and the judges had been mis-
informed and that was all there was

President Charles w. Elliot of Har-
ward university, in speaking of him,
says: "Mr. Houston has been . mem,
Der OF our graduate department three
years, devoting himself to historical
and political science. His training
has been thorough and his experience
as teacher and superintendent would
be of value to the University. He is
an upright and high minded man OF
excellent presence and address. He
is a 5outherner by birth and educa-
ton, but during his three years here,
he has fully possessed himself of the
methods OF Harvard university. He
is person of influence among his
comrades and his pupils. In short,
from all points of view, he is an I'M
usually competent person for the post
which you may wish to FILL"
Mr.. Houston is also very highly en-
dorsed by Prot. Charles f. Dunbar,
professor of political economy in Har.
ward University.
Prof 1. M. Mcbride, formerly presi-
dent of the University of South Caro-
lima, says of Mr.. Houston: 81 was
president of the University
during his connection with
that institution. l can speak
with confidence of his high character
and qualifications for the position
sought. He is young man OF excep.
tional ability, great application and
energy and wide information.
The regents have displayed great
wisdom in the selection OF Professor
Hou. ton to fill the chair of political
science, and we believe that Professor
Houston's connection with the Uni
vers!ty of Texas will greatly rebound
to its iterests.

the transfer was made on fresh sur
vey, the check sent to Mrs. CARING
ford, and the yawl Siren passed into
my hands.
All being settled / wrote to my old
acquaintance. Mr.. Dewy, asking him to
fit the vessel out, and find me steady
skipper and crew--not without some
apprehenslons of hearing by return of
post that Dewy and Moss We're ready
and willing to sign articles with me to
steer and sail the yacht in their spare
moments. Perhaps the idea did not oc-
cur to them. At any rate they found
me a crew, and a good one; and | spent
very comfortable three months cruis-
ing along the southwestern coast,
across to Scilly, from Scilly to Cork
and back to Southampton, where on
Sept 29, 1891, l laid the yacht up for
the winter.
Thrice since have | applied to Messrs.
Dewy and Moss for crew, and always
with satisfactory results. But | must
pass over 1892 and 1898 and come to this
summer; or, to be precise, to Wednes-
day, the 1lth of July. We had left Ply
mouth that morning for a run west
ward; but the wind falling light
toward noon, we found ourselves drift
ing, or doing little more, off the en-
erance of the small fishing haven Of
Penleven. Though | had never visited
Penleven | knew on the evidence of
countless picture-shows that the place
was well worth seeing. Besides, had
not the assurances of the visitors book
in my cabin? 1t occurred to me that
I would anchor for an hour or two In
the entrance of the haven, and eat my
lunch ashore at Mr.. Jobs hotel. Mr..
Job would doubtless be pleased to re-
cover his long-lost volume and | had
no more wish than right to retain it.
Jobs hotel was unpretending. Mrs.
job offered me ham and eggs and, as
an alternative, a cut off boiled silver
side Of beef if l did not mind waiting
for ten minutes or so, when her hus-
band would be back to dinner. ! said
that I would wait, and added that |
should be pleased to make Mr.. Jobs
acquaintance on his return, as l had q
trifling message for him.
About ten minutes later, while study
ing a series of German Autographs in
the coffee room, heard heavy foot
step in the passage and knock at
the door; and Mr.. Job appeared, q
giant of a man, with a giants girth
and red cheeks, which he appeared to
initiate as a preliminary of speech.
Good day, Mr.. job" said | briskly
II won't keep you from your dinner
but the fact is, | am the unwilling
guardian of trihe belonging to YOU"
And l showed him the visitors book.
| thought the man would have had an
apoplectic fit there on the spot. He
rolled his eyes, dropped heavily upon a
chair, and began to breathe hard and
short
"Where-where?" he gasped, and
began to struggle for breath
Listen" l said; "for some reason
or other the sight of this book dis
tresses you, and l think you had better
not try to speak for a bit. l will tell
you exactly how the book came into
my possession, and afterward you can
let me have your side of the story, if
you choose" And | told him just
what have told the reader.
