MAJOR ADAMS REQUEST


this city, OF $4,000 for public
library, marks the beginning OF q
new era in the conditions that pre-
vail here. While such requests
are common in the east, and even
in some of the cities of this state,
notably Galveston, this is the first
instance in San Antonio OF be.
quest for a general purpose that
claims notice. The action Of Ma
jor Adams is most timely. There
is nothing that is more needed In
this city than a public library, and
nothing in which the generous
donor could have more certainly
perpetuated his memory in the
city in which his fortune was
amassed. This gift to the city for
the purposes Of a free public
library will be appreciated. 1t
Is but the beginning, however,
of the movement for such appli-
ances for the larger education Of
the public, the continuance Of that
mental improvement that is begun
in the schools, which must come
in the future II San Antonio is to
maintain her place as the literary
as we'll as the social and CONNER
cial and pleasure center Of Texas.
This gift will stir the minds Of the
thoughtful in this city to take
measures to make the donation Of
the greatest value, for the gift it.
self is not sufficient OF itself to sup
ply the wants of the city in this
direction, at least not for any con-
siderable time. There is not only a
lot Of the right kind, centrally To-
Gated, to be provided, but
there is the maintenance
of the library itself after
the building is erected and the
S., 900, appropriation for books ex'
pended. Such libraries do not
run themselves, and provision for
this must be made. There are the
fees of the librarian and jsnitor,
the lighting and heating OF the
building, the provisions for cata-
logues and all the little incidental
expenses that are inevitably con-
nected with public institution OF
this kind. In committing to the
City Council the selection OF books
that body may be induced to take
interest enough in the matter to
aid by appropriations from time to
time, but in any case there must
be a certain provision in the funds
for the library support as it will be
impracticable to depend upon sub
scriptions or chance donations for
that purpose. All these considera-
tions only serve to show that
this generous donation for a pub.
lie library must be most carefully
husbanded and the work to which
it is consecrated supplemented by
earnest effort and strict economy
on the part Of the city in order to
secure from 1t the intended benefit.
The donation of lot by some pub
lie spirited citizen for the erection
OF the building for the library is
now in order. II that is done the
$20,000is left intact for the erec-
tion of the structure. There are
wealthy citizens in San Antonio
who would honor themselves and
earn the gratitude Of their fellow
citizens just now by coming for

1t seems that Spain is letting the
grass grow under her feet in deal
ing with Cuba. Unless the reports
that are received from that Island
are absolutely false there is greater
activity and boldness in revolu-
tionsry circles how than at any
time since the revolutionary
proclamation was issued. The
movement grows alike in the
hold that 1t is taking upon the
more influential citizens and in the
numbers that are being drawn in
to the revolutionary circle. Spain

II there is no hitch in the pres

wind up matters for the Arkansas
Pass and see the contracts signed
that will insure the prompt prose-
cution Of the work there until it is
completed. A meeting Of the stock
holders has been called for to-
morrow, and at that time 1t Is ex-
pected that all matters will be
finally adjusted. There is no
trouble about the bonus, and at the
other end Of the line the capitalists
are ready to take hold at once, but
there are some technical changes
to meet the legal requirements
of the case that must be
made before the Messrs. Alexander
Brown & Son will sign the papers.
1t is thought that there will be no
difficulty in meeting their wishes
in this respect and closing the bus
mess within the few days Of grace
yet remaining. The LIGHT has
given whole issues of its publica-
lions to the furtherance of the
deepening of the Pass and sincere
ly hopes now that the work after
so many Interruptions and disap-
pointments is going to succeed.
The people Of this southwest have
strained every nerve to accomplish
this great undertaking, and in their
success all Texas will rejoice, for in
it all Texas will be benefited.

DIRECTIONS TO HOHENLOHE

BERLIN. March 22-The Reichsanzeiger
this morning, upon the occasion Of the an
niversary of the birth of Emperor william
1, grandfather of the present Emperor Of
Germany, publishes decree addressed by.
Emperor William to Prince Hohenlohe.
chancellor of the German empire The en-
peror says:
within, a short time a. quarter of CEN
tury will hare passed since the events
which stand out in the history of the
world, which under the glorious reign of
my grandfather, thanks to the unanimous
cooperation Of the German soyereigns and
peoples. led to the re-establishment of the
empire. On this day, sacred to the MEM
DRY of Emperor William I, I feel with es-
special keenness the necessity of making
some provision az he would have wished.
for thu men who, obeying the summons of
their commanders and rejoicing in the sue.
rifice, staked life and health for the father
land. l. would, therefore. regard it with
greater satisfaction. IL the officers, sur
geonS, officials and men of the army and
navy who, In consequence of wounds re-
ceived in 1870 and 1871, or in consequence
of other injuries sustained during the time
of service, forfeited their claim to a Sec
ond years active service in the calcula-
tons OF their PENSIONS, could henceforth
have the difference thus caused made up to
them. 1t would also give me satisfaction
If the non-commssioned officers and men
who took an honorable part in the cam
paigus of 1870 and 1871 or in the wars
waged by the German states before 1870
and who are needy, could be granted as
sistanoe in the future.
II do not lose sight Of the fact that the
circumstances. admit the claims of only a
small number of men, and that these only
are considered. But it Is my earnest wish
that the gratitude of the fatherfand should
at least be manifested toward those who
are in a position of indigence.''
The decree then charges Prince Hoheyf-
lohe to submit the proposal and to carry
out the details
