when United States District Attorney
Foote reported adversely on the case.
The district attorneys action took the
form of a telegram to the secretary of
the treasury in which he stated that,
in his opinion, condemnation proceed

weuld advise that the opium be re-
leased This destroys a months work

TREACHERoUS TURKS.
They Steal Everything They Can
Garry Away.

Athens, March ia dispatch from
Larissa. in Thesalia, says that a rail-
way bridge over the river Varduari
near Salonica, Turkey, was blown up
with dynamite while a train with 1900
Turkish troops on board was crossing
il. A large portion of the bridge was
completely wrecked. Several of the
cars were overturned and fell into the
river Many of their occupants were
unable to get out and persisted before
assistance could be rendered them.
Other soldiers who managed to get free
from the car were dragged down by
the weight of their accoutrements and
drowned. 1t is not known how many
lost their lives, but it is reported that
the number is large.
The transportation of troops in the
direction of the Greek frontier has
been suspended pending the repair of
the bridge. 1t is supposed that the ex-
plosion was caused by Macedonian
nalcontents.
Advices from Canea show that the
pillaging of the houses of absent
Christians in that city is being contin-
ued, not by the Turkish troops alone,
but by the Turkish municipal authori-
ties. and despite the fact that soldiers
and marines from the foreign war
ships, landed ostensibly to protect the
town. are still on duty, no effort has
been made TO stop the work of robbers
In fact, more pillaging is going on in
the presence of the forces of the pow
ers, who have received no orders to
check it, Last night and today the
municipal authorities went to the
houses of Christians who fed from
the city and opened them under the
pretext that they were to be used as
lodging places for some of the many
refugees who have reached Canea. The
real object of the officers, however. was
to steal anything they could lay hands
on. They even took away the furniture
and houserold utensils, TO say nothing
of the other more valuable property
they found. In some cases the houses
were completely diSmantled

speculetions on the Tariff.

New York March IA Herald spec
ial on the tariff bill says:
The wool schedule stands as in the
Mckinley act, with the exception that
white pine has been made dutiable
with spruce at 81 per 1000 feet, and a
paragraph has been inserted taxing
kindling wood IN bundles not exceed
ing a quarter OF a cubic foot each,
3-10th's of n cent a bundle and larger
bundles 3-10ths of a cent for each ad-
ditional quarter OF cubic foot or frac-
tional part.
The wine and liquor schedule stands
exactly the same as in the Mckinley
law. but as some of the articles in this
schedule are to be made the basis of
reciprocity agreements, there may be
increases n the rates when the reel
procity section of the bill is decided
upon.

no reply to Greece's answer to the note
demanding the withdrawal of the Greek
fleet and troops from Crete, but TO pro-
coed at once to take such steps as will
compel Greece to accede to the de-
mands made upon her.
1t is said that the first step to be
taken in this direction will be the es-
tablishment of a pacific blockade of
Crete, which means that vessels cap
tured while attempting to run the
blockade will not be condemned and
sold. but will be held until the Cretan
question shall be settled, when they
will be returned to their owners.

Mayor Callaghan Takes an Advance
Step.
During the discussion of the ordi-
nance to permit the Texas Transpor-
tation company to use our streets to
haul freight over. Mayor Callaghan
took an advanced position upon the
question of granting franchises to cor
pOrations using the streets. He said
in his remarks: "A valuable cOnsid-
Grafton should be charged corpora
tons for the use of the streets of the
city" This is the first announcement
OF this character made by any mayor
Of our city. The public will watch
with interest, whether the mayor real
ly means what he says. The ordi-
nance under consideration has been
favorably reported by special COM
mittee with a provision that the Lone
Star Brewery be included and have
the right of railroad freight facilities
as well as the City Brewery
These two breweries are the chief
Industries of our city and have gener-
ally been able to secure any favor in
the gift of the city. At one time the
Lone Star had by the opera tion of the
'CrOsstown" ilroad freight facilities
hut after long fight the track was
torn up.
The mayors suggestion is that the
city receive valuable consideration
for the granting of franchise of this
character. inasmuch as it does not con-
Germ the general public but will. with
ON doubt. depreciate the chara cter of
the streets used If not injure the tray-
el Of the public.
II valuable consideration is to be
demanded the simplest plan would be
to do as in Philadelphia. tax each car
An annual amount: or arrive at the
matter oy calculation of the amount
OF saving to the companies over their

At present the breweries maintain
large stables. with splendid teams,

freight cars could be brought to their
cellar doors, large part of their ex-
pense for horses, men and forage
would be saved. A tax on every car
OF freight to and from. the main tracks
would be a simple and Just plan.

vance step. VIII he be backed by the
council?-Texas Liquor Dealer.

man by the name of King is i'll the
city from Honduras, having spent sew
eral years in Central America. The
reason for his return to this country
is that he contracted the fever so fatal
TO the unacclimated and was through
necessity compelled to return To the
United States to regain his health.
He says that Is good country for
one who can accustom himself 10 the
ways of the natives. The coast coun-
tries, he says, are very unhealthy. but
the interior is elevated and is healthy
in the extreme as soon as one can be-
come accustomed to the unusually
warm climate.
What struck me to a great extent,
said he, was the manner in which the
natives of the interior live. They live
in common, herd their cattle in com
mon, and i'm fact never dispute over
anything. The natives, however, are
not overly friendly to stranger. They
like their easy going way OF living and
hhoN tllsit II thC
cans come in this will soon be a thing
of the past and they are therefore not
very cordial, although showing no open
hostility.
There is plenty Of governnt 1T land
there, however, on which a man can
settle. 1t is a good place for man
with a large family providing lie can
land there with at least 5000. He
could get government land conces-
sion and make an easy living, IL the
ever present revolutionists allow him
to go unmolested. Anything can lie
raised there and for man who enjoys
sport with a gun, there is any amount
of game.
There is only one set of people who
are openly hostile to Caucasians and
that is the Caribbean negroes on the
coast, who will not allow whites among
them. They are a very degenerate
and worthless class of people.
