A very important meeting Of
the, members of the Jockey Club
was held at the Menger hotel last
evening which will, beyond all
peradventure, settle the question
whether San Antonio will have a
great live stock exhibition this
fall in connection with the Jockey
club race meeting.
President Kampmann stated the
object of the meeting to be to- as
certain il the club should increase
its membership limit from 200, to
400 members, in order to raise cap
ital to hold live stock show the
coming fall.
A motion was made and carried
that the club should hold such a
show this coming fall, provided
the membership be increased to
justify the same.
The following address was pre-
sented by Mr.. Frank GriCe and met
with the approval Of the meeting
Gentlemen-AfteT much cOnsid-

tiOn with many of our business
men and other leading citizens. we
have decided that a grand live
stock show in connection with the
fall meetings of the club would
prove an immense attraction to
visitors, go far toward emphasiz-
ing the success Of the club and
prove an almost inestimable bene-
tit to the live stock interests of our
section, and, incidentally, return
vast benefits to our city. With
a race meeting and live
stock show successfully establish.

GRESHAM ASKED CLEVELAND


Before He Could Say That Force Would
Not Be Used in Hawaii.
Washington, February 12.-The Presi-
dent sent to Congress this afternoon an
other chapter in the Hawaiian matter.
Today's batch consists of copies of two
letters, one from Secretary Gresham to
Minister Willis, setting forth an account
of his interview with Minister Thurston
when he called to ask if the United
States would use force to put the queen
on the throne, and the other from Minis
ter Willis to Secretary Gresham giving
an account of his declination of the invi-
tation to attend the celebration of the
establishment of the Provisional Govern
ment. In his letter to Mr.. Willis, Mr..
Gresham says that Mr. Thurston called
upon him in the morning and asked if
force was to be used. He (Mr. Gresham)
declined to answer until the afternoon
when he asked Mr.. Thurston to return.
Meanwhile Mr.. Gresham called upon the
President In the afternoon, in response
to Mr.. Thurston's inquiries, he told him
thatit was not the intention to use force
nor do anything to iniure the Provisional
Government OF people, If injury came
to them it would be through their own
acts. Mr.. Willis gives no reason for Ge-
clining the invitation sent him.

THE MINISTER WAS DRUNK.
New South Wales Excited by Coup d'Etat
in the Assembly.

Victoria, B. c., February 1.-THE
royal mail steamer Arawa arrived yes
terday afternoon from Sydney, via Suva
and Honolulu. The day before she
sailed from Sydney, the New South
Wales Legislature. which had been pro-
rogued December 9 under very sensa-
tional circumstances, reassembled amid
suppressed excitement on all sides, and
painful scenes resulted. Before proroga-
ton the government had been defeated
on a motion impeaching two ministers
for accepting bribes in suit against
the Crown. and Sir George Dib 5s, the
premier, thereupon obtained proroga-
tion proclamation from the governor and
theatrically sprang it upon the indignant
House.
When the new session opened a warm
debate m nediately arose over the cir
cumstances of the dissolution, and while
Mr.. Copeland, minister for land, was
speaking on this. Mr.. Hindle, labor
member, arose to point of order that
the minister, being intoxicated, should
not be allowed to address the House.
Mr.. Copeland demanded an apology
and added: ''You scoundrel, I'll wiring
your neck if you give me chance
To put this threat into execution he
rushed across the floor to get at Mr..
Hindle, and was with difficulty re-
strained from a violent assault. The
Speaker ordered Mr.. Copeland's remov-
al from the House and the galleries were
cleared

IN THE TEETH OF THE GALE.
A Helpless Lumber Schooner from Maine
Saved by Boston Tug.

Chatham, Mass, February 12.-The
Boston tug G.. M. Winslow rescued a
Maine schooner yesterday from being
blown to destruction. During terrific
Northwestern yesterday afternoon, lum-
ber-loaded craft from a Maine port,
bound west, came down carrying whole
job and mainsail, all that her spars could
possibly stand, in the endeavor to get
in under the beach as closely as possible.
When Off the bars. both anchors were let
go, but they had hardly struck bottom
before the chains snapped like pipestems,
and her bobstay parted, weakening her
headgear, and as the jib had been let go
by the run, the vessel commenced to
drift seaward at a frightful rate. She
was helpless in the trough of the sea,
and the farther off she got the worse be-
came her situation. In the meantime,
Captain Doane and crew of the Chester
life-saving station, had seen the danger
and were launching their life boat to go
out to her when the Winslow, bound
south with two barges, gave up her at
tempt to get over the shoals and came
back under Chatham Beach for an an
chorage. Her captain at once espied the
unfortunate lumberman, and he started
to the rescue. He soon reached the little
craft, and after time succeeded in get
ting hawser to her, which was made
fast around the foremast The struggle
to get to windward was then begun, and
by making circuitous route around the
rips the Winslow slowly but surely pulled
her up against the gale with the spray
flying at times masthead high, as the
seas swept her from stem to stern. Her
deckload held intact and she was finally
towed close in under the beach before
dark, The Winslow held on to her all
night, and at daylight started westward
with the schooner and barges. Having
no anchors, the schooner will probably
tow right through to New York.

New York.. February 12.-The snow
storm which began in the West last night
reached this city shortly after one this
afternoon. The city tonight is covered
with snow several inches thick. Travel
of all Kinds is greatly impeded. The
storm is the mostssevere of the season,
and is expected to last until Wednesday
morning. The thermometer is down to
20 degrees and the wind is blowing from
the northeast thirty miles per hour.
Railroad traffic is almost demoralized
Seargent Dunn, of the weather bureau,
said tonight that the storm was but the
advance guard of one much severer
which would be followed by very cold
wave. Danger signals are ordered up all
along the coast and vessels are warned
not to leave port. At the rate the snow
is falling tonight it will be foot deep
by morning. Reports from all points
through the state Indicate that the storm
is general and very severe. Traffic is
everywhere greatly impeded. Dispatches
from New Jersey report a similar state
of affairs. The storm along the New

larly severe.

More Hawaiian Correspondence-Gresha
Could Not Say that Force Would Not
Be Used Until He Had Consulted With
the lPresident-willis Reports that He
Didn't Celebrate on Abrogation Day.
Washington, February 12.-Mr. Gray,
Democrat of Delaware, addressed the
Senate today on the resolution declaring
inexpedient the annexation of Hawaii.
The treaty of annexation with gov
ernment formed as the provisional gov
ernment of Hawaii had been, Mr.. Gray
declared inconsistent with the honor
and dignity of the United States and
would be in violation of the plainest
obligations of international morality as
we'll as the settled practice and traditions
of the United States government. There
had not been an ear mark to characterize
the movement of that comparatively
small number of people in Honolulu as
revolution .emanating from the people
and growing out OF strong feeling OF
wrong or oppression. The evidence all
went tn show that the movement was
confined to comparatively small junta
of able, intelligent and vicious men who,
with the aid Of the American minister,
had accomplished, as far as they could,
the object they had in view. This junta
composed an oligarcny of wealth and in
telligence, an oligarchy as foreign to
a republican form of government as the
most opposite things in the world could
be opposed to each other. Mr.. Gray spoke
of the call for United States troops to
protect life and property" as a novel and
unique discovery in revolutions. Mr..
Stevens, he said, might be a very good
man, but he was the most indiscreet
man that ever occupied such an import
ant position in foreign country at SO
great crisis.
In answer to remark of Mr.. Hawley's,
Republican of Connecticut, Mr.. Gray
said: "Mr. Stevens stuck to his text as
to the landing of the troops for the pro-
lection of American life and property.
The graveman of my charge against Mr..
Stevens is not that he used that formula,
but that all the evidence shows that he
participated in all the arrangements to
bring about the change of government.
Can we rob this people of their govern
ment and territory on any different con-
ditions and maintain ourselves before
the world than we would seek to despoil
a powerful kingdom of its territory and
its government"
After occupying the floor for more
than three hours, Mr.. Gray yielded for
motion to go into executive session on
scondition that he should have an oppor-
tunity Of concluding bnis speech tomor
