In calculating the chances and
changes of war it is well to remem-
Der that epidemics generally follow
in the wake Of prolonged military
operations. The aftermath is now
being reaped in Japan and in Chi
ma in one of the severest cholera
epidemics that those countries
have recently known.

PLAY YOUR OWN HAND.

There is an inertness about all
things that men need to put into
motion, either for themselves or
their associates in business or poll
tics or public enterprises. Things
do not do themselves. There is
nothing that is harder than to
move the masses without any APP
peal to their prejudices, or their
personal passions, or their self
interest. Everyone knows this
who has seriously attempted to
enlist public effort for the accom-
plishment Of any particular pur-
pose. Very few minds have a
strong grasp upon the impersonal
can see the end Of large movements
from the beginning, or trace sue
cess to their own movements
through the complications Of pub
lie enterprises energetically carried
out. These men are only taught
by experience, but once so instruct
ed they are not apt readily to forget
and respond promptly to a second
call II the first one has been sue.
cess. II that first has not succeed.
ed however, there will be increas-
ed trouble in inducing a second
attempt. This is the reason why
public movements, here in San
Antonio, are so difficult Of being
successfully contaminated. The OBJ
ject lessons Of previous successes
are wanting here, and the average
mind sees only failure where he
has no personal knowledge Of sue.
cess. 1t is useless to tell him Of
success otherwheres, or under
similar circumstances. He does
not know of his personal know
ledge Of such result and he
banks on what he does not know
sooner than upon what another
tells him. There is but one way to
obviate this unfortunate condition
of affairs. Unfortunate, because it
is an incubus upon every attempt
to enlist public effort and money
in favor OF any projected enter
prise. The remedy lies in organ.
ization. This is the first thing.
Organization is useless unless fur.
nished with the means of making
itself operative; thus is the money
second thing. San Antonio must
put money behind any organiza-
tion Of the people for public enter
prise or organization will accomp-
lish nothing. This city complains
Of the inertness Of the people, of
the manner in which her trade is
burdened by unfriendly rail-
way freight ratings, and of
other things. What do the
railways that carry their freights
to and fro from this and
other centers Of business know
about that. These roads look to
San Antonio to make her wants
and wishes known. The roads see
that other cities are in the field
with money and brains to watch
their trade interests and seeing
that San Antonio is not naturally
conclude that she has no COM
plants to make. This city can get
the same deal that any city in
Texas does by doing the same as
they do. She must put her paid
agent into the field, a man with
brains and push and tact and
knowledge of the situation, and
one able to put the thing in the
clearest light before the railways
and the commission and there will
be no trouble in getting a square
deal. Do this in other things as
well and. there will be a different
condition of affairs.

BIG COTTON FIRE.
Between $4,000 and 10000 Bales Con
sumed in New Orleans.

New Orleans, March 21.-The cotton
trade of New Orleans, which has suffered
greatly during the past two or three
months on ccount of labor troubles,
was added to this morning when between
$4,000 and 10000 bales were destroyed
by fire. The fire occurred this morning
in the International cotton yards, Ora
vier and South Peter streets. A gale was
blowing and it was almost impossible
for the fremen to get within fighting
distance because of the intense heat. The
smoke was so dense that several firemen
had narrow escapes from suffocation.
The flames swept across the street to
yard No. 2, where several thousand bales
were stored. The cotton in this yard
quickly ignited and the firemen found
themselves hemmed in by two walls of
fire. 1t was six hours before the fire
was gotten under control. The en-
ployes of the press say there was nearly
10000 bales stored in the two yards,
which were burned over. The loss will
probably amount to 100000. A good
deal of the insurance was placed in for
eign companies.

FINANCIAL REVIEW.

Now York March 22.-Bradstreet S

II Ia some time since the speculative
,arLnt has had so decidedly n bulllsh
tone and tendency as was eAhiDlteu uul-
ING the present week. Inc slghlhcahcS,
of the movement is not TO pc measureu
Inv the improvement which mas taken
place in quotations, but rather ny the
understandable signs which have been
osfnrdnd of n broader and more genuine
speculation. 80 ,..,,.;.io, bos
NOT been larse. the London market mas
shown considerable interest In 'Amerl-
cans" and seems at last TO be recovering
audience in the stability of our finances,
although the absorption Of the specula-
five public in what is called the kaihr
circus" otherwise the trading IN Soutn
African shares is an obstacle to heaithy
development Of interest in American
stocks. At the same time the general
public, so long absent from the mar i
pnnears to have supplied more or less
nurchaaing power and to have awakened
Tho belief that we are on the eve OF n
movement, possibly n slow one, but when
nevertheless will result in marked appre-
citation of prices. ,.,,...,
The change in the temper of speculation
has indeed fallen little short OF having
sensational character. A little over a
week ago the market was still mainly
influenced by actual and prospective re
auctions of dividends and by the exceed
inplv had condition of railroad earnings.
II ia easv. however, to attribute the re-
vived confidence of the market to the I'M
conditions which have appeared
in the trade. and particularly to the re-
cent advances in the values of commodl-
tics and agricultural products. Neverthe-
less, it must be admitted that wan street
the significance of these 1acts
with remarkable suddenness and that the
onnearance to some extent of the puDilc
MS factors in speculation, as well as the
readiness of the European IN
terests to take part in our market, nave
been n surprise to the regular speculative
contingent. No doubt exists that certain
large interests are actively enlisted upon
Tho hull side. while the covering of out
standing short contracts made by the pro
traders has aided in carrying
the market forward. A circumstance or
no considerable influence is the upward
tendency of the money market ana the
decreasing surplus reserve held by the
New York banks, lending force to eXpec-
fotions that from this time on the money
market will show more healthy and ac-
live state of affairs.
Among the features worthy of special
notice is the rising tendency of bonds, par
ticularly Junior issues of roads whose
condition promises to furnish more tan
gible reason for improvement in their
securities.

EVERYBODY HAPPY.

Ever since the appropriation bill bobbed
up in the house Representatives Bumpass
and Blair have been bosom friends. They
are both loaded down with retrenchment
amendments, and Colonel Bumpass is
happy as 'lttle blue eyed girl" in that
Representative Blair has joined his forces
and has promised to wade through this
appropriation bill hand in hand, come
what will. Yesterday Colonel Bumpass'
joys were made exceedingly great by
having Representative Chambers join his
forces. The motion that
made Representative Chambers so great
was the one he offered, and which was
adopted, culling the appropriation for the
clerk to copy the laws from $500 to 500.
This tickled Colonel Bumpass so much
that he went over and shook Mr.. Cham
bers by the hand and told him that from
henceforth he could be an hOnored mem
Der of his and Representative Blair S
charmed circle. Colonel Bumpass, how
ever became fretted at his partner, Rep
resentative Blair, yesterday morning on
the appropriation of $4,000 for attorneys
fees in the Greer county case. Repre-
sentative Bumpass says that Representa-
tive Blair stood with him until this ap-
preparation came up, and then deserted
him and voted for the appropriation. He
explains this desertion Of Representative
Blair by saying that this appropriation is
something that the lawyers can get hold
of and that the ruling passion, which is
strong in death, led the gentleman from
Bexar to vote for that $4,000. Outside OF
this one item, however, Colonel Bumpass
has nothing to complain of where his
partner from Bexar is concerned.

meeting adjourn that it do so to meet

GLEAN|NGS FROM THE LOBBY
THE SENATE KILLS TWO BILLS
BY INDEFINITE POST
PONEMENT.
ONE WAS SMITHS ANTI-FREE
PASS MEASURE.
And the Other Was Stafford's Fire In
surance Bill-The House Spends
the Morning Wrangling Over
Appropriation Bill.

HOUSE APPROPRIATION BILL
The house had its usual wrangle yes
terday morning over the appropriation
hill and almost every item that was call
ed ND was subjected to a running hre
of amendments, some of which were
adopted and others voted down. In the
executive Office appropriation $1,000 was
allowed for the payment of rewards; Sooo
was allowed for books and stationery
5000 for freight, postage and telegraph
ing, and $36 for ice.
An appropriation of $4,000 was made for
the payment of counsel and other ex-
penses in the Greer county case. An ap-
preparation of $500 for tools, seeds and
shrubbery for capitol grounds was strick-
en- out, though $500 was appropriated Tor
gardener for the mansion. The pardon
board was kindly remembered with an ap-
propriation of $1,000, and $500 was appro-
priated for housekeeper for the execu-
tive mansion. An allowance OF S2oo
was made for water and ice for the man
sion and $3.50 for water and lights. An
appropriation of $4,000 was also made
for repairs on the mansion.
Touching on the department OF state,
an appropriation of 500 was made for
clerk to copy the laws of same, beng
reduction of 5000 in the recommendation
of $500 made by the finance committee.
An effort to increase the clerical force
of this department by the addition Of one
clerk at a salary of 5000 was defeated,
and pending further consideration OF the
bill the house took recess for dinner
While this department was under dis
cussion Representative Bumpass offered
an amendment to decrease the salary of
the chief clerk from $1,000 to $1,000, and
stated that while he was working as a
legislator for $500 day the chief clerk
of the department of state was within
the bar of the house lobbying for his
Office appropriation. After delivering his
little speech Representative Bumpass
withdrew his amendment, but it had the
desired effect, and the chief clerk of the
state department. who had been futter-
ing around among the members, made q
quiet little sneak looking somewhat con-
fused.
During the discussion of the appropri-
alton bill some of the members demon
strated fully their animosity to the COVER
nor by the number of amendments Offer
ed. Heavy reductions were offered at
first and voted down. The opponents of
the appropriation then INDUCED in time
killing by offering amendments to cut
down the appropriation 500 annually, or
some other slight reduction that was posi-
lively silly on the face of it.
