Dallas, Tex. Oct. 19.-From the inter.
est manifested by the baseball enthusi-
asts in Dallas. who are pushing tho or
ganization OF the proposed Texas
league for the season OF 1896. 1t Is quite
evident that II Will be 20.
a Dallas man who has been inter
eSted IN the starting OF the various
Texas leagues since 1855 said today to
Gazette representative:
"rhe different cities are coming to
the front fast. only Houston ANA Waco
being backward. The first named Win
be counted In. as it only needs some
one TO start the ball rolling to make
II one OF the best towns in the league.
Galveston Will be managed by W.
IA Works, who managed the team in
that city in 1890.
san Antonio viii be on hand al the
meeting here on the eath instant. ana
Will, no doubt, have the well known
and reliable Dick Phelan for manager.
Fort Worth has several managers in
view. Fabian OF Dallas and Shumate
from Ohio are after the franchise.
New orleans will be represented by
Toby Hart the experienced bali man

Dallas has her eye ON two or three
good men who are willing 10 bring

All the season OF 1894.
No contracts Will be made until

salary limit Will be about $500 Der
month. With a guarantee OF the same

causes loss of about twenty-five days

Chicago, H.. Oct. 19.-The federal
grand Jury returned an omnibus in
dictmenu against Debs and the officers
OF the American Railway union and u
large number OF persons charged with
participating in violence and the OBJ
struction OF the mails and commerce
ON the different roads last summer. In
all sixty mine persons are included IN
the blanket Indictment. The grand
jury of last summer called to invests
gate the strike brought in large num-
Der OF Indictments one for each road
In which Debs and the other officers OF
the union Were charged with conspir-
ing with the persons on the various
roads who committed acts OF violence.
1t was feared that IL a conviction was
not secured on one Of these indlct-
ments the government might be barred
from trying the officers on the others.
The conspiracy is practically the same,
ana the officers are practically defend
ants in all the cases. In order TO avoid
any danger on that score the omnibus
affair on which all officers and strikers
may be tried at once. was returned.
The indictments include but few de-
PENDANTS who are not in the other In
idlctments.

Council Bluffs. Iowa, Oct. l9.--l1x-
Governor Horace Boles received an oya-
tion here last night when he spoke to
the Democrats of this section at the
opera house. "A tax on lumber" said
he, benefits a few men who own pin
cries In Minnesota. Such n tax was
imposed on lumber by a Republican
congress in 1890. and had the effect of
increasing the price 81 or $3.50 per
thousand on all lumber consumed In
the country. In New Mexico there are
immense syndicates engaged IN graz
ing sheep ON government land, which
costs them nothing, IN our state,
where land Is valuable, It has been
found Impossible to compete with the
sheep hcrders OF New Mexico, and the
Industry has gradually died out. The
tarin Imposed ON wool by the McKin-
ley tariff benefited the owners Of
these vast interests In New Mexico,
but the only effect on us was 10 raise
the price on commodities In which
wool was used" He had nothing to
say about silver.
