Austin, Tex, March 1s.-Foliowing Is
a copy of the bill introduced by SEN
ator Gage this morning:
Section 1. BE It enacted by the legls-
| lature OF the state of Texas: That the
secretary OF the senate and chief clerks
Of the house OF representatives, re-
| spectively shall deduct from the COM
pensatlon OF each member OF the legis-
lature the per diem salary OF such

absent from the senate or house, re-
spectively. while the same Is I'm ses-
sion, unless such member certify In
writing to such secretary or chief clerk
as the case may be, as the reason for
such absence. the sickness OF himself
or OF some member of his family, or
that he was absent In the discharge OF
some public duty. specifying the same.
and which said certificate shall be
printed In the journal OF the senate or
house. according as such member shall
be senator or representative.
Section .. IL said secretary or said
chlef clerks shall fail, neglect or re-
fuse TO make such deduction in nccord-
ance with the foregoing section, or II
any member Of the legislature shall ac-
cept or receive any compensation In

ed guilty Of a mlsdemeanor. and upon

lawfully received.
Section 3. Whereas, members Of the

ness wholly private and personal In |
us h4turei ana whereas, many Of such |
members during the time OF such alb |
sehce continue to receive the usual per |
diem compensation for sn-called public |
services not rendered. thus causing a
large pecuniary loss to the state, there
fore this condition Of affairs creates

TROUBLE AHEAD.
This Time 1t May BE with Great Brit
ian-International Complications.


Washington, March 1s.--It Is impos-
sible to learn positively whether the
state department has been fully ad-
vlsed officially of the severe demands
made upon Nicaragua by Great Britain
as reported in the cable dispatches
dated from Managua, but from the fact
that General Barrlos, who was appoint
ed a special ambassador by the Near
asuan government to endeavor to set
tie their differences with Great Britain,
has been in Washington for a week.
and has paid several visits to the state
department In company with Dr. Guz-
man, the resident NicaraEuan minister.
1t is assumed that our own government
is fully posted In regard to the mat
ter. II can not be denied that this new
Incident, taken in connection with the
hostile attitude Of Great Britain to-
wards our sister republic Of Venezuela,
promises to lead to trouble of n char
acter much more serious than the little
Incident Of the Alliancia, which has
caused such n cOmmotion. The adj
ihlhlstratlun Is evidently about to be
put IN n position where It must lay
down new construction of the Nom
Germ In the future OF the small repub
lies of Central and South America. In
Venezuela 1t Is alleged that the Brit
ish are steadily extending their bound
airy line and encroaching upon Veneyu-
elan territory, in spite of the strong pro-
tsats of the Venezuelan government
and The reported urging of the United
states that the question of boundary
should be settled by a resort to arbi-

excluding the main issue as desired
by Great Britain, but the submission of
the whole issue. But there are Misc
questions of indemnity arising IN Vene-
zuela growing out of claims preferred
by other nations, and there are lndica-
tions noted by officials here to show
mat these are being pressed by con-
cerled action. Many OF the claims for
indemnity grow out of the failure of
these republics TO meet their oblli,o-
tons TO foreign debtors under the stress
OF hard times and the influence of the
world wide depression In trade.
AS the European governments an
pear to be moving to collect their in
dlvldual debts on their own account
II is question that the United States
must settle speedily as to how far
1t is prepared to permit this process
to go on. As to Nicaragua, II IL felt
here that the terms Of the Britsish nj
timntum are unduly severe. Besides
there is rather dlsagreeable reflection
upon American citizens in the stinnIa-
tion that none shall serve on the com
mission to adjudge damage. on The
whole II Is more probable thai The
president Will, interpose to secure at
least an amelloratlon of the terms of
me ultimatum by an appeal In Tho
British government representing ,ba
srealest hardship that 1t would WORT,

pressed condition on finances 10 nre-

CRANES OPINION.
Certain Lands WIN Now be Subject to
Lease or Sale.

Austin. Tex, March 1s.-Attorney-
General Crane handed down a lengthy
opinion tonight, in which, after re-
viewing all forfeiture land laws and
the opinion of the supreme court in
| the case OF the Bereldo Stock company
/ vs.. McCarty IS Anderson vs.. Waco
| State bank, he holds that all the for
| textures taken by the land commits
! sloners after the act Of 1857 OF sales
made under the acts OF 1888 and prior
to the act OF February, 1856, are valid
forfeitures, and all such sales Will now
be put on the market by the commits
sloner for sale or lease under the laws
In force. This opinion is in perfect ac-
cord with the construction which the
commissioner all along insisted was Il
proper construction, and especially did
he so believe after the opinion deliy
erred by Assistant Accompaniment
Brown In the Willis Yates case. But
as Interested parties continued to in
slst that the Brown opinion went off on
another question, Commissioner Baker
concluded to put the main question to
the Encouragement In order to re-
move any possible doubt as TO the
proper view OF these f1rfeitures. Com
missioner Baker says that this Clir ion
as matter Of public policy. outside of
the real legal question which has been
settled now by the opinion, will dis
turb much less number Of purchasers
Of school lands than the opposite view,
because Of the very many sales made
10 actual settlers Of these lands after
the act Of 1857 took effect. This upln-
ion of the attorney general which
meets the approval so heartily OF the
commissioner, is Yer. favorable to the
actual settlers who have made their
homes on these lands and who, other
wise, would lose their improvements.
Commissioner Baker now takes pleas
ure IN giving notice that all forfeltures
taken In the land Office after the act
OF 1887 went Into effect, OF sales made
under the act Of 1889, ana PRIOR t. the
act of February, 1885, for non-pAy1rent
of interest. or other failure to comply
with the rules and regulations of the
land board, are valid forfeitures and
that sales made on the top OF these
forfeltures are good. An such lands |
which have not been subsequently sold |
under the act Of 1857 and amendments |
thereto, are now subject to sale or
lease under the laws now in force.
