known that special train from Galveston

location for the party. which was promptly
complied with But later 1t became ru-
mOrel the entire party was running out Of
Galveston on account OF the yellow fever
outbreak at that place. All hotels boarding
and lodging houses became alarmed at the
report and refused to ACCEPT any and all
Of those they had previously agreed to ac-
commodate The city health officer, DR..
L. b. Osborne. at once notified Chief Dis
patcher Byrne OF the Santa ice that ths
coming train must not enter the city
without inspection; he was ASSURE, the or
der should be complied with, but mat there
was no reason existing for the least ex-
element whatever. As time passed on the
en'teciu'ht pecalie nlSner untii, AT ll.l5,
when the train rolled In near the city, COM
ing To- stop. 1t was mounted by City
Physician Osborne. who made a careful ex-
animation of all on board. After becoming
thoroughly satisfied that all was we'll and
that there were no suspicious looking char
acters on board, and being further assured
by Colonel Polk that he nor any of the en-
tire party lad been exposed to any conta-
gious disease and that they had left Gal
weston that they might be on the safeside
in the future and be able to operate their
business without hinderance, they were al
lowed to enter and were welcomed to the
city Everything soon became quiet and
the entire party soon found convenient
and will tomorrow commence to
arrange for offices to carry on their bust

The senate computations of the equiv
alents for Dingley bill rates on woolen
goods only need to be stated. They
make opposing argument unnecessary
in the mere reading. For example, the
rate is 55 per cent. on second-class wool,
2s9 per cent. on garnetted waste, 326
per cent. on shoddy, III per cent. on
wooden cloths valued at not more than
so cents per pound, 167 per cent. on
blankets more than three yards in
length and valued at not more than so
cents per pound, 212 per cent on shawls
valued at not exceeding 40 cents per
pound, 151 per cent. on knit fabrics val
ued at not exceeding 40 cents per pound,
257 per cent. On hats Of wool valued at
not more than 30 cents per pound, 419
per cent. on felts of the same value, lat
per cent. on plushes valued at not over
40 cents per pound, and "a per cent.
on the aggregate of woolen carpets.

How Capitalists Save Themselves.

The woolen manufacturers continue
to stock up with cheap raw material in
anticipation of the coming tariff legis-
lation, the transactions in the Boston
market last week amounting to nearly
100000 pounds of foreign wool and
over 1,250,0O0 pounds of domestic. They
expect to reap rich profits when they
can make this wool into cloth to be sold
at the advanced prices which are now
in sight. 1t is one more illustration of
the fact that the capitalists can over
come many of the evils of any kind of
tariff. 1t is the consumers who must
bear the burden of the suffering
