know that ever since the passing of the

Winona. Texas, April 49,
The dying of horses and mules
from Buffalo gnats is more seri-
Gus than at first reported.
Horses are taken sick as if they
have he collie; they will wal
low upon the ground and swell
considerably. Some do not live
over thirty minutes after they
are first taken sick, some live
as long as a day and night
and come even get entirely over
the poisonous effects of the
gnats.
Up to this writing more than
fifty horses and mules have
died, but none since last night.
Some say that if it turns warm
the gnats will either leave or
die.

Gladewater, Texas, April II
The Buffalo gnats continue
to play havoc with the stock
here. One hundred and ninety
three head OF horses and mules
have died within a few miles of
this place since Saturday morn
ing.
All farm work has been dis
continued and the people are
working day and night doctor
ing their sick animals and
building smokes, trying to save
what few have escaped.
The condition of the small
farmer is distressing. The most

to purchase more, and unless

MONETARY COMMISSION
The Appointments Made Meet
With General Approval.

Washington, April 10 The
naming of three commissioners
by President Mckinley under
the art OF the last congress to
promote blme!alIism was the
subject TO considerable discus
sion about the capitol today.
Almost without exception the
selections We're commended.
Senators, regardless of party,
were pleased with the selection
of ex, Vice President Stevenson.
1t appears that this selection
was the presidents own, no one
appearing TO urge his appoint
ment. The president desired a
democrat who stood high in his
party and who was an earnest
silver man. He sent for Mr..
Stevenson, and after talking the
suhject over with his, decided
to make him a member Of the
commission.
President Mckinley said hat
the subject of International
bimetaIIism would b. lifted
above party lines and the men
should be those who wonld
work in harmony toward bring
ing about an agreement. 1t was
also believed by the president
that the name of Mr.. Stevenson
wonld give the commission
great weight abroad.
Senator VoIroit said that
TO be a mistaken i'm
preston that the commission
was appointed with the purpose
in view of having it represent
the United States at a confer
ence only. While the commits
sion will be utilized in that way
if conference should be held
lis first work is to be of pnre
Iy diplomatic character. looking
entirely to ca operation further
on. The commission expect TO
leave this country about the
middle Of Nay and Immediately
upon their arrival in Europe
will set themselves to that task |
Whether there shall be a con
ference at all will depend upon
how the advances of the COM
Sioners are received by the
principal powers.

GOVERNMENT
ATTACKED.
Sir William Harcourt Scored
the Government Policy.

London, April I3.-At a
banquet given by the Eighty
club tonight. Sir George
Trevelyn presiding Sir William
Vernon Harcourt, the liberal
leader. charged the govern
ment with shrinking from a
definite vote on the employ
ment of the British forces in
Crete. He said that the gov
eminent had introduced the
absolutely new constitutional
doctrine that it belonged to
the government to draw up
the opposition's resolutions.
This was an intolerable piece
of tyranny. The government
did not want a definite resolu
ton but an indefinite one.
Referring to the European
concert he said the opposition
desired Great Britain TO be the
friend OF all States, but the
of none. Personal
ly,, he did not believe in being
drawn into what Lord Sails
bury called the federal legisIa
fure. If the European concert
had any common sense at all
the Cream question would
have been settled long ago on
the only proper basis, namely:
The annexation of Crete to
Greece.
