Texas Legislators Praised for Their
Laws ON Corporations.
AUSTIN, Tex. January CIV. j. Bryan
visited the Texas legislature this morning,
and all business in the two houses was
suspended while he made a speech char
acteristic of his last campaign.
He took occasion to say that he noted
with pride that Texas was in the lead in
the matter of laws to regulate the cor
porations that were doing their country
harm. He stated that in his state and
others in the past twelve months corpora
tons had stepped out of their chartered
rights and into politics, and that he favor
ed the enactment Of law prohibiting any
corporation from contributing to a cam
paign fund. He said that while reformers
were always called enemies of the gov
eminent, time would show that they were
right and he desired to encourage them in
the worthy fight against corporations that
We're doing the country so much damage.

The death Of Rt. Rev Mgr. Louis E.
occurred yesterday afternoon at 4:45
o'clock at the institution of which he
had charge and so successfully directed
since it's inception. At his bedside when
death came were the priests and stu
dents of the seminary, and his soul
left it's earthly surroundings while the
prayers and litany for the dying were
being chanted. The death Of Father
Caillet, as he was more familiarly call
ed leaves a vacancy in the ranks Of
the Catholic clergy which will be hard
to fill. For forty years he has been
identified with the church in st. Paul,
and, aside from being prominent in
Catholic church circles in this city, he
has, as vicar general Of the diocese,
taken a leading part in the affairs of
the church in the state and throughout
the Northwest. For the last few years,
or since the founding of ST. Paurs sem
mary, he has occupied the important
position of rector of the seminary and
has given to that institution the bene-
fit Of his learning and ability and has
done much to place the seminary in
kind in the country

suffering, and to those who questioned
him invariably replied that he was
feeling very well. Two weeks ago last
night he preached his last sermon at
ST. Mary's church, and after the serv-
ices complained of feeling very tired.
Last Tuesday he walked from the SEM
mary at the end Of Grand avenue to
the parish residence and, with pardon
able pride, called attention to the fact
that he was in perfect health for an
old man.
The arrangements for the funeral
have not been completed and probably
will not be until the return Of Arch
bishop Ireland to the city. The arch
bishop is in Faribault and will return

the funeral would probably occur from

church until the funeral, which will
be held Wednesday morning

Otherwise time devoted to Alaska will

should have a territorial form of gov

PARIS, Nov. 28.-The Figaro has
caused a sensation today in connection
with the Dreyfus affair by publishing
several letters purporting to have been
written by Comte Ferdinand Walsin
Esterhazy, who has been accused by
NJ. Scheurer-Kestnar, one of the vice
presidents of the senate, of being the
author of the unsigned letters which
led to the condemnation Of Dreyfus.
In one of them, after expressing his
intention to enter Turkish service,
Comte Esterhazy is represented as say
ing: 'I shall not leave without having
played a trick of my own on those
amiable Frenchmen."
Other passages illustrating the char
acter Of the letters follows: Our cow
ardly and ignorant great chiefs will go
once more to people German prisons" ,"
st should be perfectly happy if l were
told l was to be killed tomorrow as a
captain of Uhlans sabering French
men" IT am capable Of great things
or crimes, if that could avenge me. 1
would not harm little dog, but would
have a hundred thousand Frenchmen
killed with pleasure" Comte Esterhazy
proceeds to say that "Frenchmen are
not worthy of the cartridges intended
to kill them," and he conjures up a
dream of festivity" in the shape of
the pillage of Paris by a hundred thou
sand drunken soldiers.
Interviewed by reporters today as to
the publication in the Figaro of letters
purporting to be of his authorship,
Comte Esterhazy displayed great in
dignation declared that they were forg-
ed by the friends of Dreyfus, who, he
said, had taken words and sentences
from his letters and pieced them to-
