SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 3.-Father
A. Cattle, a San Francisco priest,
has received a letter regarding his
brother, who is a missionary in

he was brutality treated by natives.

knives, thorns and sticks. He Is in
a precarious condition. The Man
DARN of the province connived at

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.--The COM
mittee of the state senate will
resume it's investigation Of the
New York police department to-
day. Chairman Lexow, inquisitor
Golf and his counsel; in fact, al
connected with the committee or
the conduct OF its inquiry, were
more reticent than ever last night
concerning the program to be fol-
lowed. 1t was rumOred that the
disappearance of Mrs. Thurow will
be Investigated and that high
police officials and attaches OF the
district office will be questioned
upon the matter. SupG. Byrnes
was asked if he had been SUBJ
poenaed. "If were | would not
talk about it," he said. Ex-Assis-
tant District Attorney Wellman
was equally non COmmittal. The
bell at st. Leo's rectory rang al
most ceaselessly all yesterday and
Rev. Father Ducey was repeatedly
desired to give plain answer to the
plain question "Shall you or shall
you not attend tomorrow's session
| Of the Lexow committee"
81 much regret" said Father
Ducy in reply, "That l can give no
information on the subject. To all
inquiries on this point | have re-
turned the same answer"
Rev. DR.. Parkhurst said at Lake
wood, n. j., yesterday that il the
weather permitted he hoped to be
present at today's session.

SENSIBLE WILLIAM
Thinks it is Not His Business to
Dictate to Congress.

Dictate to Congress.
NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-When Gov.
William Mckinley was asked
yesterday what course he would
suggest that republicans pursue
during the remainder of the con-
gressional term, he replied: at
would be decidedly unbecoming
in me, being no longer a member
of congress, to advise the republi-
cans what they should do at the
coming session. From all | can
atherd however, it will be their
determination to prevent further
M ischief to American industries. l
shall be surprised IL the free iron
and free coal bills become laws by
act OF the present congress. While
l, during the fitty-frst congress,
did what l could to have sugar
made free and that provision was
made part Of the tariff law OF 1890
it may be claimed now, owing to
decrease in government receipts,
that it would be hazardous to
place sugar on the free list. | see
that the estimated deficiency in
the government revenues is some
thing like 100000. That is not
encouraging. | hope that as little
evil as possible will be committed
during the short session and that
when Republicans resume control
in congress wise remedial legisla-
tion will be enacted. prefer not
to make any suggestions to the
fifty.fourth congress just at this
time"

GEORGETOWN, Texas, Dec. B.
The spirits of the cotton planters
have been greatly revived the past
week by the advance Of 1 of a
cent in the price of cotton. Prices
are now ranging from 4 to 5 cents.
The staple is coming into market
at a lively rate, as farmers are ap.
prehensive of another decline.
Shipments to date from George
town amounts to ll,S06 bales or,
nearly 1000 bales more than all
OF last year, which amounted to
$3.50 bales. 1t is estimated
by conservative men interested in
cotton that shipments will reach
1900 bales this season, breaking all
former records. The tops or Sec
oud crop, is turning out better than
expected, in some places being bet
ter than the first crop; although in
some places in Williamson county
the top crop was killed by the frost
a month ago.
