sale Trade-Wheat Dull

The volume of business doing in pretty
nearly every line of business is fully up
10 the expectations OF dealers Retailers
have hardly finished taking account of the
business of the past year and got their
bearing for their future course, and as
consequence the diminished business incl
dent to the advent of a new year has not
been fully recovered from. Dry-goods men
are disposng of a liberal amount of goods
but find very little profit in the business
Prices of many staples have been cut to
the quick, and one cannot see where any
profit can be made on the goods from the
manufacturer to the retailer. Even the
grower OF the cotton and wool is making
no profit now Grocers report remarkable
almost phenomenal-Shading in prices of all
staples. with liberal amount passing into
consumption. The business on Commission
row is without special feature. The cooler
weather will have tendency to check ship
ments or fine table goods and may advance
prices If continued some days

n resolution was introduced by Rep
resentative Duff to admit one newsboy
for each of the daily papers within the bar
of the house for the purpose of selling
papers to the members. The members
were suspicious that this was a trap laid
against retrenchment and reform, how
ever. and they proceeded to get on top
of the resolution with a vengeance. The
newspapers and the members have had
two rounds-the members are still in the
ring-sO are the newspapers.
THE FIRST EXECUTIVE SESSION.
At last afternoons session of the sen
ate there was an attempt made by Senator
Tips to have Il suspension of the rules for
the purpose of taking up the bill trans
ferring the direct tax fund and other
funds to the credit of the general revenue.
The senate refused to do this, but ordered
the bill printed. The senate also held its
first executive session last afternoon, the
same being called to pass on Governor
Hogs appointments made since the last
session of the legislature. After n brief
discussion, however hey adjourned. leav
ing the business of the session pending
until next Friday at II O'Clock.

CROWLEY TO BE INVESTT-
GATED.

Senator Miles Crowley was YESTERDAY
served with the brief in the contest case
of ROsenthal VS.. Crowley, for a seat in
congress, by young Rosenthal, a son Of
the Republican candidte for congress
The brief sets forth that ballots were
mlscounted in nearly every ward in Gal
weston; that the Democrats i'm Fort
Bend county practiced intimidation and
fraud, and that there were Irregularities
IN Lavaca county. where boxes which
should have been thrown out were count
ed for Crowley that fraud was practicel
III Fayette county, where Crowley en-
Iered luto a conspiracy with Jonathan
Lane to give him the nomination this
time with the understanding that Lane
should have it next time. In addition
thereto it is charged that in nearly all
the counties in the district deception
was practiced relative to tickets, in that
they were made up to resemble Republi-
can tickets, but had Crowley's name on
them, and further that Crowley was not a
citizen of the United States when elected
TO congress. The names of something
over 1000 people are mentioned as wit
hesses IN the case. Senator Crowley
says he had not had the faintest thought
of retaining Governor Hogg in the case:
on the contrary, John Loveioy of Calves
ton will i'll all probability be his counsel.
In this connection it is well to note
that the committee ON elections reported
yesterday morning on the memorial sent
up from Galveston by ]. w. Terry against
Senator Crowley and stated that aftes
q careful consideration of the document
they had decided that all the charges
be stricken out with the exception of The
hrst three and that they be investigated
The first charge is that Hon. Miles
crowley was guilty Of matchmaking the
fuilman Palace Car company, or using
his position as a senator to Wrongfully
secure a free pass from said company
= Inc second is that Senator Miles
crowley was guilty of intimating a will
ii:nshess 10 accept a money considera.
1loh Tor supporting bill or of improper
~ recommending the use of money in con
hectlon with legislation
The third is that Senator Crowley go

appointed to same, and that being dis
quallhed under the constitution he So
cured the appointment of another man.

OF railroad commissioner. which if ac-
Ccptcd will doubtless carry with il the
Craftsmanship of the commission by
selection of whatever associates may be
appointed, and | now comply with that
resolution.
1t is unnecessary To remind You of the
great Importance of the commission to our
commercial and productive interests. for
this is singuarly we'll known to you. AMI
the wisdom is obvious of selecting men
to discharge its duties who enjoy the con
tidcnce of the people are unalterably fa-
vorable To- the policy eliminating in
its adoption. and who possesses the high
qualities essential to meet its serious and
grave responsibilities. Uniting these
qualifications, in my Judgment. beyond
any other of our citizens, your continued
service on the commission would give
timely and emphatic notice of the pur-
pose TO adhere to and thoroughly enforce
the system of regulation embodied in this
law, and while acting upon my personal
Judgment and inclination l believe | also
express the desire of the great body of
our people in sincerely urging your dc-

TuAT pILOT QUESTION.

Capt l.. c. Arledgc, United States
licensed pilot at Galveston, is in the city
and will remain here for some time.
Captain Aredge's mission here is with
the legislature, in that he desires some
legislation on the question of pilot ap-
pOintments. At present the board of
pilot commissioners has corner as it
were on the appointing business, and
Captain Arlcdge desires the law so
amended that any competent pilot can
file his papers, stand an examination,
and if proven competent shall be enti-
tied to commission as pilot. He is
of the opinion that there should be com,
petition in this branch of business as in
all others, and for that reason he wants
the law so changed as to authorize any
competent pilot to be permitted to hang
out his sign and 20 in on equal footing
with any one else. Captain Arledge will
seek to have bill passed at this meet
ing of the legislature for the purpose of
equaliZing this matter, and placing every
competent pilot on an equal footing.
There will be quite Il heavy lobby on
this bill nasmuch us there are some 80
odd men backing Captain Arledge up in
the present case. and there are number
of others equally as deeply interested.

THE SOUP.

In the Senate yesterday morning quite
a batch of bills were introduced, proml'
nent among which was one by Senator
Rogers, providing that railroads should
charge children under 10 years OF age
only 2 cents per mile and ticket olhces
at all depots should be opened half an
bour before train time; also bill defining
train robbery and fixing death penalty
therefor.
Senator Tips introduced bill valid
ating certain acknowledgements OF deeds
10 real estate There were number OF
other bills introduced, the captions OF
which will be found in the Journal on
another page.
The House settled the question OF
salaries yesterday by adopting com
mittee's report, fixing the salary of the
Chief Clerk, Journal Clerk, Assistant
Journal Clerk, Postmaster and Sergent-
at-Ams at So, and all the balance of the
force at "a per day.
Representative Tarver presented res0-
luton, which was referred to the Com
mittee on State Affairs, providing for the
appointment Of committee OF hye to
examine into the management of the
state department and the railroad com
mission. The object Of the investigation
Is 10 see as to what the current expenses
OF these departments are, and as to
whether or not some curtailment can be
bad. Representative Tarver deems this
step necessary in view of the Strengthened
affairs of the states finance. The mere
fact of the railroad commission being the
only state department individualized
gives rise TO the fear that that department
win be the first one to which the leglsla-
fnre will put the cold steel.
Among the most important measures
introduced in the House was bill by
Representative X. II. l.. Roy, making
the payment Of poll tax necessary to the
privileges of voting. Another joint reso-
luton by Representative Ragsdale pro-
vides for the culling down of the mem
bership of the Legislature, reducing the
House to 100 members from rs, the
present number, and leaving the Senate
as il is at present, 81.
Another Joint resolution by Representa-
tive Wester of Jack county provides that
the governor shall be ex-Otlici0 chairman
of the board of regents, and that the
chief Justice of the supreme court, the
state superintendent of public instruction
and the president of the University iacul-
fy shall be members Of the board OF re-
gents.
