a short time the storm came with rain
and a high wind. followed a few min

sails, but before they could accom-
pllsh the work the topmast was car
rled away. Tho Primrose was well in
shore when struck and she lasted but
a few minutes. She was thrown on
her beam ends and In an instant she
went down.

LUMBER MANUFACTURERS.
New Price List Adopted at Ycster-
days Mcctinr.


Houston, Tex, Aug. 2l.-The Texas
and Louisiana Manufacturers associa-
ton. composed of lumbermen of the
two states, met here today. Joe S. Rice
of Hiatt. president, and r.. Il. Kelly,
of Beaumont, secretary. There are
forty firms in the association and eight
cen were present. The association was
organized last May in Palestine. at
which time resolution was passed to
cut down the output. The decrease OF
stock on hand since then is 1-2 per
cent.
The old fight about the eligibility of
manufacturers who are also dealers
came up. The Lake Charles Qa) men
were opposed to admitting any but
manufacturers The result of 1t was
that the chair appointed the following
committee to consider the matter and
report some solution to the association:
A. Young of Warren, ]. N. Gilbert OF
Beaumont, Il. V. Hackney of Valde,
ID. NJ. Angle of Houston and j. A.
Bentley OF Plank.
This committee in the afternoon re-
ported that they were unable to sug-
gest any plan OF harmony. The pre-
amble of the constitution defines a
manufacturer" as zone who owns and
operates yellow pine sawmill or
who is the purchaser OF the entire
output"
The secretary read the resignation OF
the Orange Lumber company by \. f.
sharpe secretary, and Jones e. Carter,
as members and S. f. Carter as treas
urer Of the association, which were, on
motion, accepted.
On motion by d, NJ. Angle the rules
Of the association were suspended and
q. II. Mallam of Beaumont was elected
treasurer by reclamation.
The South Texas and Louisiana men
protested against the discrimination
In favor OF North Texas lumbermen and
favored a dlsbandment of the associa-
ton. This was not done, however, and
the association went into executive ses-
sion, excluding reporters. The assocla-
ton unanimously resolved to cut down
the output by running only half time
for the next ninety days. A new price
list was adopted. which was the most
Important part Of the work done, and
the association adjourned.

dispatches from Mexico announced
that Rev. II, Il, Mosey. Baptist
minister. had been imprisoned at sal
iilio. Mexico. as the result of publish
ing pamphlet entitled Three centu-
rles of Romanism IN Mexico" As the
Mexicans who profess any faith are
generally Catholics this publication
caused great excitement In the coun-
try and It Is probable that the rever-
end missionary was arrested by the
local authorities to preserve him from
harm quite as much as 10 punish him,
At any rate, they made no objection
when United States Consul Donnelly re-
quested mis- release, and the consul
general notified the state department
by telegraph that he had escorted the
minister safely across the border.
