Has Something to Say About Cot

State of Texas

NEW YORK, April 3.-Ex. Cover
nor Hogg, Of Texas is in the the
city. In recentintorview he said
he was justified in signing the re-
QUESTION for J ID. Rockefeller. He
said 81 simply acted within the
scope Of my authority as chief ex-
ecutive officer to carry out the laws
OF my state. / know of no higher
authority in any state in this
country in presenting indictments
than the grand jury. These gentle
men were indicted by a grand jury
in Waco, about a hundred miles
from the capital. A more intelli-
gent, honest and upright body Of
men could not be found i'll the
country. The recommendation
were endorsed by the district at
torney of the state. Mr.. Rookie
feller and the other gentlemen
mentioned in the indictments were
reported to me as fugitives of
justice, OF course l knew them by
reputation but do not care who
they were, they had violated our
laws and | sent out requests for
their requisition in strict accord
with my duty. These indict.
ments still hang over them"
"TeXaS seeks the investment of
northern capital and does all in its
power to encourage it. II northern
ers will take the trouble to read
our laws instead OF accepting with
out investigation erroneous inter-
pretations of them, they may easily
find this out. Texas is a great
state"
81 do not think that the present
temporary advance in cotton is
going to fool farmers down our
way. They feel that they have
been Sucked enough. They will
devote their time and energy to
crops that warrant a more immedi-
ate and substantial revenue. Our
agricultural products last year
amounted to more than $l20, 100000,
which is equal to one-half OF all the
personal property in the state or to
One-Seventh of all the taxable val
ues including the railroads."

RevoIutIonists Leaving Cuba

PRoGREssO, Yucatan, April 81
Every ship arriving from Cuba
brings a large number OF revo-
lutionary refugees, fleeing from
that island for refuge in Mexico.
The population of this and all the
southern ports Of Mexico is being
augmented from this source, and
the newcomers are making every
apparent preparation for a contin-
ued stay. Some of the leading res
idents of Yucatan are ex-Cuban
refugees, who have sought safety
in this country during former dis
turbances, having never dared to
return home.

OYSTER NENs TROUBLES.
No Work on the Oyster Boats and
the Idle Men Terrorize the
Oyster Towns.

MELVILLE, n. J., April g.
Nearly six hundred men who are
unable to secure work on the Oys.
ter boats have taken posses sion of
Bivalve and Port Norris. The
township authorities are unable to
cope with them. 1t may become
necessary to call upon Sheriff
ShinD. OF Cumberland county, to
drive the desperate men away. The
men were brought here to find en-
ployment during the oyster plant
ing season, which has just opened
and which will continue until
June. They are made desperate by
hunger and are bold; they enter
houses in daylight and rob them
of all the food they can find. The
wives and daughters Of the oyster
men, all of whom are at work in
the bay, are openly insulted on the
streets and in their houses. Trouble
is breeding between the oys'ermen
and the owners Of riparian
grounds. Captain John Blizzard,
Of Bivalve, left that town with the
aVOwed intention of dredging on
riparian grounds and declares
that il they fire OH him he will

MEXICO AND GUATEMALA.
PEACE SECURED SOLELY BY THE
FIRM ATTITUDE OF MEXICO.
War Would Have Been Declared by
the Mexican Congress Had
Guatemala Remained
Stubborn.

CITY OF MEXICO, April 3.-The
press generally speaks in high
favor OF the action Of Mexico in
averting war with Guatemala. Few
people in this capital are aware
how narrowly the sending OF war
message to Congress by President
DiaZ was averted. Diplomatic me-
gotiations had been given up and
foreign Minister Mariscal had de-
cided the correspondence closed,
the Mexican government admit
ting nothing could be done with
Guatemala and the whole thing
was shelved until Congress should
meet to give the President power
to declar war. 1t was at this stage
Of the game that reports be-
came widely circulated that the
dispute had been settled.
Guatemala continued stubborn.
Mexico reiterated it's determine.
tion to give in not an inch on its
rights. AS the time for the open
ing of the session of the Mexican
Congress approached Guatemala
showed signs Of nervousness and
the wires were kept hot with long
messages. 1t was said that Guate-
mala was informed that war
could not be averted II the Presi-
dents message ever reached Con-
greSs. Numerous conferences be-
tween the two governments fol-
lowed to no avail. Yesterday
morning a cable message came
from Guatemala to its minister to
concede all Of Mexico's claims and
sign the treaty which was done at
10 o'clock.
MeXico'S demands embraced the
following points: 1.-Mexico asks
satisfaction for injuries received by
tho invasion OF her territory and
for the veXatations of which for
eigners and Mexicans cutting wood
in the forests of Aqua Azul, San
Nicholas, Egypte and San Pedro
and the Mexican residents Of Ayut-
la have been the object.
2.-Mexico also demands a Pc
cunary indemnity for damages
sustained.
3.-Mexico also demands indem.
nifty for the expense of the mobili-
cation Of her troops and Of main
tanning authorities and employees
in public places for public security
on the frontier.
4.-MeXico asks that the labors
of the boundary commission, in &C
cordance with the treaty of 1882 be
speedily concluded, said treaty not
being open to discussion.
1t is understood that 100000
was the amount of the indemnity
demanded by Mexico; also that
she insists upon dismissal OF
Guatelama's visar general who had
taken part in the survey Of the
boundary. The final litigations
are a compromise between the
ultimatum and Guatelama form
or repIy. 1t Is believed that MeXl-
co has agreed to arbitrate the
amount Of cash indemnity instead
Of exacting two million dollars as
at first claimed.

BIG PENSION SUIT.


A Point Raised That May ,Invali-
date Millions of Pension. Checks .
NEW YORK, April 3.-The World
this morning says: "a demurrer
will be argued before Judge Bene-
din in the United States court to-
day in the case of the United
States against S. l.. Hand, Jack
st. Leonard alias (Chas. Wellman)
Chas. f. Taylor and G. w. Tenny,
indicted for forging endorsements
on pension checks. The decision
OF the demurrer involves the pos
sible invalidation Of many mil
lions of dollars of checks for pen
sions drawn upon the United
States Treasury. The defense will
make the novel contention that
even though the name of
the payee was forged upon
the checks, it is no Cfiense
against the government, as under
the revised statutes every check
signed under the name Of
pension agent must be signed by
the authority OF the secretary of
the interior and that the secretary
Of the interior has advised such
signatures.
The defense maintains if the de-
murrer is sustained that it means
the invalidation of all pension
checks drawn by clerks for pension
agents i'm the southern district of
New York.

GRAND JURY HAS THE CASE
Investigating That State-House
Riot at the Close of the Indi-
ana Legislative Session.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April g.
Myron ID. King, Governor Mat
thew's private secretary, in his
testimony before the county grand
jury in reference to the riot on the
closing night OF the Legislature,
said that he left the Governors
Office with the veto message fifteen
minutes before midnight, accom-
panied by custodian Griffin. He
suspected nothing until the eleva-
tor reached the second floor land
ing. When the door was opened
to let him out, Representa-.

Of Daviess and Boadman, of
Marion, leaped into the elevator
carriage. ALLEN took the lever
away from the conductor, and
Adams struck the witness heavy
blow in the side, breaking a rib.
The elevator was run to the third
floor, the fighting continuing in
the meantime. Custodian Griffin
succeeded in getting possession Of
the lever by striking Allen IN the
face. The rest of Secretary Kings
story conceded with the previous
statements he had made. He said
that after the general fight began
at the door of the house he could
not remember who struck him.
Mr.. King had to be taken to and
from the court house in carriage.

A party of five gentlemen were play

about an hour when one Of the young

seen another deck on the mantelpiece,
procured it and started to deal Five
hands were thrown around and the
betting began. They all stayed. The
first man bet the limit and was raised.
The next man squeezed his hand few
seconds and raised again. So 1t went

WHY DON'T 1T woBBLE7


since Columbus.
A New England scientist says there's
going to be dickens to pay if the rest
of the United States continues to cart
away granite and marble from the land
Of the Pilgrims and Puritans. ut is
not unlikely" says he, that the equil-
ibrium of the earth is already consid-
erably disturbed, and that we shall
shortly feel a pronounced wobble. OF
course. If there is to be a wobble any
where we would prefer 1t in New Eng
land but perhaps the outlook is not so
desperate as at first glimpse. The sum
mer rush of people to the White noun
tains, Bar Harbor Newport, and Il
thousand other New England summer
resorts must in a very great degree
restore the weight which existed before
there were quarries in New England.
And there is another thing. 1t is COM
puted that there were in the Western
hemisphere, when Columbus set foot on
it, not more than 100000 human be-
ings. There are now, at very low
estimate, 1O1 100000. These 100000 e
goo of additional persons have in
creased the weight of the western hem
isphere some 100000 of tons, in the
roundest of round numbers. Surely
there is an opportunity for wobble
in this state of affairs, and we ought
to be conscious of it by this time. If
there has been no wobble an explana-
tion should be demanded. Some men
of science should rise to tell us why
we don't wobble. Nothing is more
dreadful, says the Buffalo Courier
than the uncertainty when and where
the commotion will begin. Probably
only those who are holding to the cal
straps at the time will keep theii

gram. They looked rather unlike a

in covert coat and round hat (known,
believe, as bowler" or BILLY cock

smart get-up. Perhaps it was done on
purpose to avoid suspicion-I mean
publicity. The Castellanes have been
staying at the Berkeley, but, l think,
left today for Paris. Some one who
saw them together at the hotel told me
that she appeared quite devoted to
him, says Piccadilly in Vanity, and is
so yielding and submissive that he is
