Galveston. Texas. May 5.--As illustrating
the change OF the business of this por,

the quantity and variety OF products now
being shipped through this port, an EN-
plove of the wharf company said to The
Post reporter thai when the cotton season
was over there was nothing 10 do until
the next cotton season, in former years. bu,
now 1t is different. For example, the Har-
rison line steamship Governor. sailing from
this port recently for Liverpool, carried
boraN from California, linseed meal from
Kansas, walnut logs from the Indian Ter
rl,ory. slaves from Arkansas and Lous-
ana. spelter from Missouri and cotton and
cotton seed products from Texas Hero
in one ship you have exports from six
States and one Territory. something that
tcw years ago was entirely unheard Of.
III that is not II diversified cargo, then
do not know the meaning of tho term.
Another point not to be overlooked In this
matter is that the bulk of this stuff here
toiore has gone by the way Of New Orleans
and Eastern seaports. 1t was only with
the advent OF deep water that Galveston
became a bidder for this trade. yet 1t can
not h' aid that she is Il bidder. II would
be fairer statement to say that the ex-
porters nave found out that they can re,
hotter rates and better accommodations
through this port than they can cot ut
rival ports. and consequently have come
here with their business. This hing Is
growing and growing fast. Old King Cot
ton is about to he dethroned as the steady
standby of the Texas ports and there Will

A YOUTHFUL SCApEGRAcE
No One to Prosecute Him So He Was L.ctured
nud Re eess.d

For the past four days, since Saturday
afternoon last to be exact, there has
been a youthful prisoner in the city jail
against whom no charge was preferred
and who was yesterday afternoon re-
leased from custody, his short imprison-
ment having been considered sufficient
punishment for his alleged misdeeds
Willie Allen is the name of the prisoner,
and he was suspected of having stolen
from a boy companion a silver watcn
and a small sum of money.
On Friday afternoon Willie, who lives
on Waterloo street, in company with a
companion named Andy Brown, VINO
lives near by, started out for Alvarado
street to pick some oranges. While they
We're out the Brown boy was stricken
with a fit, to which he is subject, and
while in an unconscious condition his
watch and a silver dollar disappeared.
That Young Allen got the money is sur
missed from the fact that an hour later
he was seen indecently drunk on Temple
street
The Brown boy told his mother IF
what had happened, and she immediate
ly sent word 10 Allen that if he would
return the watch she would say nothing
further Of the matter This had it's
effect for on Saturday morning the
missing watch was found on the front
doorstep of the Brown residence togetn-
er with the following unsigned note
Mrs. Brown, I took the watch from
the boy when I lifted him from TIL ,
ground, but there was no money l could
rot get here any sooner, for my car
runs till TO-
Meanwhile Officer Johnson had been
notified of the affair and on Saturday
afternoon arrested young Allen on
Bellevue aveune. He placed the youth
in jail and began an investgatio He
found that Allen had a bad reputation,
having been arrested some years ago for
stealing some sacks. While in Jail Allen
wrote a note to his mother telling her
he had been arrested for the theft of
watch, and the handwriting when COM
pared with that of the unsigned note
found on Mrs. Browns doorstep was
Identical
He was held until yesterday, when. 1t
becoming evident that Mrs Brown would
not prosecute. as she had promised to
make no further move if the watch was
returned Allen was taken before JUS
tice Rossiter. who read the lad a severe
lecture on the evil of his ways, then
