cheney appropriation bill by less than
II two-thirds majority defeats the
clause in the bill to give ii immediate
effect. 1t will therefore not 60 into
effect until the first of August. The
adoption of the conference report of
the pill by a two-thirds vote in the
house has been made under similar
conditions as giving the act immediate
effect. This position was not contested
by the comptroller's and treasurer's
departments at the time, probably be-
cause there was ample money on hand
to meet the demand. Now, however,
should the bill draw $4,000 out of
the treasury the first of May, together
with some 100000 for the expenses
of the government during March and
April, the cash slowly accumulating
in the treasury would disappear with
in few hours after the general APP
preparation bill is approved. Hence
it is quite certain that, though the
conference report on the deficiency
may be adopted by two-thirds vote,
the eXigencies of state finance will not
permit the rather strained construc-
ton that the vote on the report is the
vote on final passage. In refusing to
give the bill immediate effect the
house simply Disseminated against
one set of its creditors in favor of an
other class. Creditors who have been
waiting for their money from two to
twelve months will give way to cred
itors who have not waited beyond two
months. Ifby this action cash pay
ments are maintained couple of
months longer than otherwise they
would have been the Immediate off
cial family will not have to wait at all
and the long time creditors will be
put oil two months longer.

AUSTIN, Tex, April 26.-The legis-
lature may adjourn ON Tuesday or
Thursday, but should it do so the
members will have to do some tall old
husting between now and the time
ref erred to. and in this connection it
NJ " be stated that if the house had
b;en saving wood throughout the
past three months like it has for the
past two weeks it would have been
ready for adjournment a month ago.
1t will be remembered that the house
wasted several days of valuable time
early in the session on Cyclone Davis,
to say nothing of the days and weeks
that have been expended making po-
litical history and spreading vote
catching nets. But there is one thing
certain, and thai is as soon as the APP
preparation bill is passed it will take
trace chains to hold the members
here. Many of them boldly assert
that they are going to leave here be-
fore Thursday adjournment or no adj
journment therefore it may be safely
asserted that the appropriation bill,
the deficiency bill, the tax bill and the
codifying bill are about the only
measures that will find their way to
the governor during the present ses-
sion.

AUSTIN. Tex, April 24.-The little
fee bill boom has parted in the mid
die, so to speak An anti-fee bill res
olution by Judge Ward did the work.
1t proposed to devote the remaining
days of the session to the Massage of a
number of important bills which
would completely shut out the fee
bill. Mr. Thomas fired an amendment
destroying the resolution by provid-
ing for the passage of the fee bill as
soon as the deficiency bill is disposed
of Mr.. O'Neal, in order to decapitate
the Thomas amendment, promptly
moved to indefinitely postpone both
the resolution and amendment and
the house postponed with whoop by
a vote of 65 to 80.

AUSTIN, Tex. April 26.-Wednes-
day the senate rejected the amend

Alice offered and which had once been
adopted and passed. The confer

ing the ad valorem school tax has
made no progress toward an agree

mittee stand by the 20 cents fixed by
the house, with one exception and the
senate members of it insist upon IS
cents as a compromise Probably,
owing to the senate committee, the
president will appoint senator in his
place. The president of the senate
signed the bill adopting the penal
code and code Of criminal procedure
yesterday and it went to the COVER

storing jurisdiction to Camp county

A MISSING STEAMER.
No Tidings Of the Long Overdue City
of st. Augustine.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1i.--No tidings have
reached here of the long overdue coasting
steamer City OF st. Augustine, which left
jacksonville, Florida, on Jan. 30, bound
for New York. She was sighted Feb. B
by schooner Ida Lewis, but since then has
not been seen.
1t is supposed that she must have en-
countered the terrific westerly gale off
Cape Lookout, N. c., and been driven
away from the coast. Much fear is enter
tanned for her safety as she Is now nine
days overdue in this port.
The agent in this city is OF the opinion
that she has been driven far to the east
ward and perhaps her machinery was
broken, but does not believe that she
is in serious danger. The pilot
boat Richard X. Fox, which left this port
Jan. 10, is also causing some alarm by her
failure to put in an appearance. She is
only Alton boat, but is very seaworthy
and 1t is thought that she was also driven
to the southwark by the terrific gales.

INCOME TAX BLANKS.
Prospect of Extension of Time for
Making Returns.

There Is every prospect OF the time for
returning the income tax blanks from
March 4, the date now stipulated, to April
10. A joint resolution to that effect has
passed the House and has been amended
by the Senate and has been sent to the
House for approval. This change would
be very welcome one all around. The
collector of this district, for instance, says
that he cannot get the blanks all distrib-
uted before March ] and that would not
leave very wide margin for the citizens
to make their returns in.
1t has been asked why the collector does
not mail the blanks, as is done in some
districts. The law says they must be de-
livered by mail, or otherwise, but the
failure TO receive blanks or notices will
not form valid excuse for citizens or
corporations for not obtaining them.
Quite a numb Der OF persons call daily at
the Custom House in the postofice build
ing for their blanks, only to be dsap-
pointed. The blanks arc to be obtained
only at the Internal Revenue Office on
South Man street.

An Official Inquiry Into the Massacre
of ArmeniaDs.
CoNsrANTrNoPLE, Feb. 1.-THE Turkish
commission, making an inquiry at Moosh
into the alleged massacres of Armenians
hos already held 12 sittings. As
soon as the commission has
finished the examination of witnesses it
Will visit the villages in the Sassoun dis
trict, where the atrocities are said TO have
occurred, and make as rigid an inquiry as
possible to the charges.
The work of the commission cannot be
terminated for some months. Authentic
news has been received at the British
Embassy here that OF the Armenians
tried at birmingham, aud against whom
judgment was given on November 10,
20 were sentenced to death, six to
imprisonment for life and 81 TO various
terms of imprisonment. The court has
given assurances to the British Govern
ment that before these sentences are car
ried out it will have careful revision
Of all the proceedings in the cases made,
in order that full justice shall be done to
the convicted persons. The judgment
given in these cases at Erzinghian was
confirmed by the court OF Cessation at
Constantinople on Jan. 26.
BosToN, Feb. 14-Word has just been
received in Boston from Erzroum, the
city from which the European delcga-
tion has recently set out for the
scene of the late massacre in the
Sassoun district. The correspondent re-
ports that the delegates were not allowed
by the Turkish government to take Arme-
nian interpreters with them.
The Sassoun Armenians know only
Koordish and little Armenian, but no
Turkish. 1t will be impossible for these
delegates to obtain any definite informa-
tion from them through an official
Turkish interpreter who does not under
stand their language. The delegation,
thus equipped, has gone to do it's work.

THE LAW OF NECESSITY.

OMAHA, Neb., Feb. 14.-A special to the
Omaha Bee from Kearney, Neb., says:
Considerable excitement has been caused
hero by about fifty farmers with half
as many teams coming in from
Kearney county for relief supplies.
They broke into car on the
Union Pacific track and commenced help
ing themselves. The county commission :
ers tried to stop them, but could not and
after they started to drive away they were
brought back by the police. 1t is reported
that go teams are on the way here from
Custer county for relief supplies.
