The comments of the London news
papers indicate that the British feel a
little ashamed of themselves for their
precipitate action in the case of Nicara-
qua. Their comments are a sort of apol-
ogy, and the basis of their justification
is that Nicaragua was taking advantage
of Its weakness and insignifcance to

Appeal to Uncle Sam.

Some time before the war the Hous-

ton. Harrisburg and San Antonio were
loaned a portion OF the Texas school
fund to assist In building their lines.
In those days railways In Texas were
few and far between. and the state IN
order TO develop her latent resources
and possibilities munihcently granted
and conveyed sixteen sections OF the
public domain TO railways for each and
every mile OF railway constructed. The
Houston and Texas Central and Calves
ton, Harrisburg and San Antonio were
benehclaries alike OF this liberality,
and In addition thereto succeeded in
borrowing a goodly slice of the state
school fund. Interest on these loans
We're paid for awhile. but OF late years
the entire matter has been involved
In litigation.
The state has brought suit against
the two companies for the recovery of
both principal and interest, and the
matter is still In the courts. The latest
development in the situation was n
motion made in the district court Mt
Austin by the two companies n few
DAYS ago to remove the cases to the
Federal court. The district court now
has the matter under advisement and
has not rendered a decision.

why Connection.

Advices from San Antonio indicate
that the people OF that city are pre-
pairing to make an united effort to In
duce the Katy to build the necessary
fifty miles from San Marcos to bring
them Into San Antonio.
The fear IL expressed that notwith-
standing the Katy has been coquettlng

there may be an extension southwark
from Smthville or San Marcos into
some other territory. Such an unfor-
tunate condition would be positive
cruelty to city whose reputation Is
pretty good for waiting for willing sac
rifices.
The fact that the Fort Worth and
Rio Grande is threatening to extend
into territory just west OF San An
tonlo-a territory from which that city
draws heavy proportion of her excel
lent trade, ia causing considerable un-
easlness In business circles.
There Is no doubt that the situation
is one OF much gravity so far as san
Antonio is concerned. and business in-
terests should awaken to the true con-
dition. 1t takes something more than
willingness to build railways.
