TRINITY SURVEY.


Dallas, Tex. Oct. 29.--The ail-import-
ant work OF surveying the Trinity river
was begun last Saturday when a party
under Major Tailor of the corps of
engineers OF the United states army,
made the start nom Dallas. Tie small
boats were all made or purchased here
and the average speed permitted by
the work viii be ave miies day. The
survey will be thorough In every par
ticular taking the actual fall OF the
river, the meanderiugs or the stream
und the character OF the country
through which It flows.
Mr.. Wilson. chief clerk Of the United
States engineers Office at Galveston,
has been in the city for the last few
days, in order TO ascertain II the pre-
/ llmlnary arrangements had been satis-
] factory, ana that everything was NOV
Ing smoothly. He left yesterday for
Galveston. satisfied with the start and
everything attending It.
The survey will be from Dallas to
| Magnolia.
Commodore s. W. s. Duncan stated
TO a Gazette representative today that
the estimated distance from Dallas 10
Magnolia, point on tho river six
miles due east OF Palestine. in Ander-
son county, Is 200 miles. II the survey
Ing corps does not encounter too much
wet weather the survey should be com
pleted. the commodore estimated with
in three months time which would
carry 1t up TO the first OF February,
1895.
While Major Tailor has made no d.
rect expression as to what he con-
s!ders the survey will justify In his re-
port, judged by the partially improved
condition OF the river from Dallas to
McComas' bluff, Commodore Duncan
feels satisfied that the report win be
favorable as to the naviRabiilty OF the
river. the only question being the cost
and whether the commerce OF the
country Will Justify the expenditure Of
the money necessary TO put the river
In navlgable shape. on this point
the commodore feels reasonably certain

. SECRETARY SHOPPING.

1t will surely be gratifying to his many
friends in this city that Secretary Carlisle has
gone to New York a shopping. The impli-
cation is. first. that the Secretary has money
with which to go shopping; it is, second, that
he is polite enough TO accompany Mrs.
Carlisle on this most irksome and wearying
of all the different kinds of expeditions to
which q married man is subject. Dispatches
from New York indicate that Mr.. Carlisle saw
nobody at his hotel, but further information
is that he would probably make a call or two
IN Wall street. This also is an unusual
politeness on the Secretary's part. Many
Cabinet officers would have sent for Wall
street, would have had it come to Washington.
Mr.. Carlisle very obligingly goes to it. He
even spends the day calling upon it. But,
then. he visits New York shopping anyway,
and that indicates that he has money to spend
and is very polite and self-sacriticing; and
having a little time on his hands, he might as
we'll call in Wall street as anywhere else, to

HE WAS A COXEYITE.
One Of the Generals Lieutenants Speaks
to Street Audience.

One of the Generals Lieutenants Speaks
to Street Audience.
One of Coxey's lieutenants arrived in town
yesterday morning. He would not give his
name. He wore business suit that had
been made at a tailors shop. A diamond pin
sparkled on his cravat, big gold watch
chain dangled from his vest, and large
drunk had complete possession of his person.
He visited half a dozen saloons before IL
o'clock. and at each place he took his poison
straight.
At IL o'clock he appeared before an audi
ence OF half hundred persons in front of the
National hotel. His eyes were very red, and
when he attempted to steady himself he found
that he had very difficult jcb to perform.
He made bow, opened his mouth. and
started to make his little speech. He couldn't
get his ideas and his tongue to work in har-
mony. and after he had made two or three
attempts he opened the sand valve. pulled
the throttle wide open. and went up the
grade like limited express.
steam was up too high, and he went sailing
by stations at a terrific rate OF speed
The laughter finally became so loud that
the Coyeyite's words were completely
drowned. Then he hesitetated and was lost.
He didn't tell thing that was interesting,
nor did he inform his audience as to what
Coxey and his crowd intended doing after
they reached Washington. He talked inco-
herently for ten minutes, and then found an
other saloon.

TINKERING A TINKERED BILL,
Subcommittee of General Committee Con.
sidering Amended Amendments.

Subcommittee of General Committee Con-
sidering Amended Amendments.
The tariff subcommittee of the Senate
Finance Committee, consisting of Senators
Jones. Kerr, and Mcpherson, was in session
four hours yesterday, having up for consider
alton various changes in the bill suggested as
necessary. Since the bill was submitted,
the subcommittee are using every en-
deavor to get into shape any amendments
they may want to offer before the bill is
taken up IN the Senate.
The committee decided upon several amend
ments yesterday which it will propose on
Thursday. one of which is OF considerable
importance to importers. 1t is proposed by
this amendment to restore the portion OF the
administrative part of the present law regard
ing undervaluations. The law now gives a
margin of 10 per cent. under the valuations
of appraisers without requiring a penalty.
The bill as it now stands requires a penalty
for any undervaluation.
Another amendment to the administrative
part OF the bill restores the provision of the
House bill as to the hearings before the board
of appraisers. which was struck out by the
Senate committee.
The committee also agreed to ask that the
bill be amended SO as to put bananas, pine
apples. and canned sheliilsh, together with
the cans, on the free list.

CT. CRISP. A GOOD MAN.

THE TINES. Mr.. Crisp, did not under
take to advise you whether to continue to
be Speaker or to be Senator from Georgia.
Your present post is honorable, so would the
Senatorship have been. The House needed
you, needs you. doubtless, more than your
state did in the Senate; for the proportion OF
statesmen to the square inch in Georgia is
larger than the proportion of capable Speak
ers to the square inch in the House, counting
out of the question. of course, Mr.. Springer,
of Illinois. So, Mr.. Crisp, you had the per-
mission of THE TIMES to do exactly as you
chose; and understand, this word is merely
preliminary 10 the following: You are good
man, admirable, strong; friend OF your
friends. friend of The TINES.

NEW YORK, March 30.-The suit of W. J.
Laidlaw for damages for injuries sustained
through Mr.. Sage's use of him as life pre-
server against Norcross, the bomb thrower,
was decided to-day by verdict for the
plaintiff Judge Patterson. in charging the
jury, said:
s.The burden of proof rests with the plain
tiff. 1t was for him to show that Sage had
used him as shield, as was claimed" The
court cited authorities TO show that Laidlaw
was entitled to damages if the jury thought
he had been used as a shield by the defend
ant. The jury retired, and in few minutes
sent for the diagram of the defendants Office.
At o'clock the jury returned to court.
Judge Patterson asked if they had reached
q verdict and the foreman answered: YES;
for the plaintiff in the sum of S25 ,000."
A new trial was moved for by defendants
counsel. but it was denied by the court, who,
however. granted stay of forty days. One
of the Jurors stated that ten of them were in
favor of giving verdict for the full amount.
1t took them an hour 10 reach a compromise.

Publications having appeared chasing him

yesterday issued a card, saying:

years ago. because that party was in favor OF
the single gold standard in the interests Of

reform in that party since | left it. On the
contrary. during the Fifty-third Congress the
almost unanimous vote OF the Republicans in
both Houses of Congress made it possible Tor

ton of unparalleled misery and want.
