THE MITCHELL BILL.
Serious Objections Found By the
Fiahermen,s Union Who Oppose
a Commissioner.

A representative of the Cal
Ter meeting Mr.. J. R: Blanton;
secretary of the Fishermen's
Union of this city, yesterday,
asked him what he thought of
Representative Mitchell's bill
on the fish and oyster business:
He said:
81 am opposed to it."
"Why so!' we asked.
Il oppose the Mitchell bill
because it places arbitrary pow
er in the hands of the commits
sionet. l oppose the placing of
any industry inrthe hands of
one man in such a way that he
can control it for the benefit of
one, and to the injury Of an
other. Besides this, it creates a
new Office to be supported at
the expense of this industry:
Louisiana ships large guam
titles Of her cheap catfish from
her bayous into this state with
which our saltwater fish have
to compete in the market. An
additional tax would be detri-
mental to the business in Tex
as. The bill provides altogether
too much territory fur breeding
grounds. ] favor the protection
Iof the large and small fish"
Don't YOU think the oyster
beds ought to be protected :"
we asked
lie replied: "The natural
oyster reefs should be public
and free for all, without license
or expense. The location of
grounds for planting oysters
should be placed in the hands
iot the county commissioners
and any one wishing to-
locate such grounds should
give notice for fbdt Successive
weeks of their intention. This
gives opportunity for objections
to be fled if the location covers
natural reefs. This is in line
with house bill No. 4j, known
? as the Stubb's bill, which con-
F.; tains all the good features of
: the Mitchell bill"
Mr.. Blanton said that he was
in favor of a law compelling
l every man engaged in the fish
4 and oyster business on @our
coast to become citizens of the
United States, but to tax the
I industry especially when that
: tax would not go to the govern
, ment, but instead to the sup
port of a monopolist, which
the creation of that office means,

MATTERS LEGISLATIVE.
Senate Passes Age of Consent
Bill-Railroad Commission
ership Still Begging
Texas Railroad
Statistics.
Special Correspondence of The HERALD.

Austin, Texas, Feb. 20, 1895.
Senate Friday very pro-
perly killed the joint resolution
providing that the senate take
a recess for 80 days to give the
committee on redistricting the
state time to frame and report
a bill, but it was a close call
the vote standing IA to 10.
Senator Bailey's bill author
izing railroad companies to form
corporations for the purpose of
erecting depots has been intro
duced. Under the law now,
two or more railroads entering
a town cannot combine and erect
q union depot, and this bill is
to permit them to do so. Your
readers will readily see that the
bill should become law.
The senate Tuesday passed
the age of consent bill fixing
the age at Is years, but it is
doubtful about its passing the
house, as representative Martin
has a bill that appears to be
more acceptable. His bill amends
the law relative to seduction,
while the senate bill is an
amendment to the rape law.
Mr.. Martins bill provides that
if any person, by promise to
marry, seduce a girl between
the ages Of 16 and %, he shall
be fined not exceeding $500
and may be put in the peniten-
tiary not less than five years!
1t then provides that if any
person with or without promise
to marry, seduces any girl under
the age of Is years, he shall be
punished as above.
Representative Beall's bill to
pay county treasurers a com
mission on country scrip paid
in for taxes, has been reported
adversely by the committee
and, of course, that kills it.
Up to Tuesday Governor Cul.
berson had found no one will.
ing to accept position on the
Railroad Commission, and il
looks as if he will have to fal
back upon the large and dis
tinguished coterie of politicians
who are in for the "stuff," re
CARELESS Of fitness or competen
cy. He has been trying to get

FINANCIAL REVIEW.

Reported for the LIGHT by Henry Clews
& Co.
New YORK, May 7.-During the
first half of the past week, Wall
street showed somewhat of halt
in the upward tendency Of prices.
This was not unnatural. Values
had risen very much; operators
had taken large lines of stocks;
the boom had followed a stubborn
depression and distrust, and there.
fore suggested caution; there was
some decline in foreign purchases;
and thus it was no more han
might be expected that at least
the more cautious operators should
think it prudent to do some real
iZing, especially as their profits
were large enough to suggest such
a course. For two or three days,
therefore, realizing orders became
common. The sales however were
met with ready buyers; prices
yielded comparatively little; and
the realizing was thus checked ;
the net result being really a
strengthening OF confidence and
a renewal Of buying. Thursday
showed four distinct new upward
turns in prices. London, after hav-
ing done some selling, came into
the market again as a buyer,
which had its natural effect upon
the local "bull" contingent.
Thus, step by step, the market is
gaining new elements OF confidence,
and a broader basis is being laid
for both investment and specula.
tive buying. One OF the most hope
full features Is the reality of the
recovery Of foreign confidence in
our securities. This is apparent
not only in the marked recent in
crease in the English and German
demand for our stocks, which after
all might be supposed to be only a
temporary squirt Of speculation it
is still more strikingly shown in
the recent foreign takings OF our
bonds. Within the week, it was
