In the agricultural lin2, Texas leads
NIL other states in the variety OF it's
products, Cotton, corn, and the
cereals grow and are raised in every
section of the state, and in the central
and southern portions sugar cane and
sorghum cane are profitably cultivated
On the gulf coast two or three crops OF
vegetables are raised each year.
Berries are shipped six weeks in
advance of the home crop in the north.
Pears, peaches, piums, oranges, figs,
olives, and nuts all grow abundantly
and can be marketed from two to
three weeks in advance of the Cali
fornia crops Large quantities OF rice
are now grown.
If the land seeker, the home seeker,
and the settler desires to secure a
farm larger than the one he occupies,
on vastly more reasonable terms; If he
wants more land tocultivate, a greater
variety of crops to harvest, with pro-
portionatelv increased remuneration,
at a less outlay for cost of production;
if he wants an earlier season, with
correspondingly higher prices; if he
wants milder winters, all the year pas
turage for his stock, improved health,
increased bodily comforts, and wealth
and prosperity he should goto Texas.

10th Spantards and Rebels Guilty of the
Most Atrocious Conduct.
LONDON, Nov. 1.-The Daily News
publishes IA letter from an English
merchant in the Philippine Islands
that was dispatched to London on
September 30 The writer alleges
that horrible atrocities have been
perpetrated by both the rebels and the
Spaniards. but more especially by the
latter, who torture their prisoners.
particularly when they arc prominent
men, with u view to forcing them to
confess completely in the rebellion.
Hedeclares that in some cases prison
ers have been nailed to walls by the
hands. while in other eases thumb
screws have been used a hundred
prisoners were thrown IN one night.
into one dungeon in the fortress at
Manila, where there was hardly room
for thirty. The place was worse than
the Black Hole of Calcutta The poor
wretclies were up to their knees in
filthy. pntrid mud. Tifty-n OF them
dlea during the night. A reign CT
terror exists in Manila. and elsewhere
III the islands. Wholesale arrests are
made daily of innocent and guilty
persons The writer adds that the
rebellion is due solely to the rotten
and corrupt administration of the
Spaniards, which the natives wer>.
unable 20 endure any longer. The
outlook is of the blaclzest description
all.e business is at q complete stand
stil. The writer was compelled TO
leave his estate, the government
refusing to guarantee his safety there.
Prisoners are executed by the whole
sale. In treating of this subject, the
writer describes the shooting of four
men on the public promenade. The
troops held their rifles SO close to the
heads of the condemned men thas
when the weapons were discharged
their heads We're blown to atoms.
Crowds of Spanish women went to see
these four rebels executed.

OF the tariff laws, providing for rebate

II the session, however, be conspicu-
GUS by reason Of Its brevity and the
limited number Of important laws en-
acted, IL resulted in the introduction OF
q larger number of bills In the House
than during any similar period for
quarter of century.
The total number of bills introduced
during the entire last Congress was
s,9s7, Of which 4,405 were introduced
during the hrss session, which COR
responds to the session now drawing to
o close, aud in which latter the sggre-
gate Is swollen to 9 500.
OF these 300 were favorAbly reported
BY the committees to whom they were
referred aud plsced on the calendar.
Notwithstanding that the session OF next
winter Is limited to three months, scores
OF these bills are likely to be brought to
the attention of the House. Many mem
bers will enjoy degree Of independence
after the autumn elections which they
have been denied during the present
year, and their influence will be exerted
to call up and pass measures that are
now regarded as personally and pol!ti-
cslly unsafe"
The Nicaragua Canal bill Is one Of
these measures. After many months OF
consideration In the committee 1t re.
celved o favorable report in the face of
an absolute certainty that 1t would not
be taken up during the presens session.
The bill to liquidate the indebtedness
OF the Pacific railways to the Govern
ment Is another measure of far-reaching
Importance which Is also upon the Gale
endar with q favorable report, but which,
for prudential REASONS, will continue to
slumber there.
Others are the service pension bill,re
ported by the invalid pension commit
tee; the Arizona, New Mexico and Okla
homs statehood bills, the Pacific cable
bill and the joint resolution comforting
the rank OF lieutenant general upon
MaJor-General Miles.
