Mr.. Charles A. Conant, of the New
York Journal of Commerce, contributes
to the American Monthly Review of Re-
views for August an admirable expo
sitipn of the new tariff law. His article
is intended to tell the business man what
he may expect from the operation of the
new schedules. So much of the news
paper discussion of the Dingley bill has
been warped by partisanship that the
ordinary citizen is at a loss to know the
real animus Of the measure or its pro-
bable bearings on individual and general
interests. Mr.. Conant writes with mod

lated to enlightq the public on a topic
that requires fisst Of all impartiality in

1t rmains TO be seen what effect the
new tariff will have upon the business
Of tht country. Its possible influence
will o, course be exerted in variety of
directions. Thus, if the new tariff were
productive of an ample public revenue,
the mere fact of our having escaped
the iitoleradle deficits of the Wilson
German tariff would make for a period
Of business activity. 1t is conceivable
that the protectionist character of the
measure might have the effect of i'm
proving the general business conditions
by especially stimulating certain great
industries. The most important effect,
however, Of the new tariff legislation
may we'll be produced by the mere fact
that for the time being we have escaped
from uncertainty and know exactly
where we stand. The assurance of even
four years of freedom from tariff
changes, quite regardless of the nature
of measure itself, is enough to give a
great impetus to business. From

Delivery Wagon Accident Yesterday
Afternoon.
Gossip And News Notes Of Genera
Interest Picked Up At Fort
Sam Houston.

AS the result of a runaway Marcus
Moore, colored, driver for Frank Bros,
is lying at his home, 21S West Arsenal
street, with a broken leg and a badly
bruised body.
He was delivering some goods inside
the upper garrison yesterday afternoon
at 5 o'clock when the accident ocur-
red. AS he was driving along between
C and G company quarters the horse
became frightened and began to run
north along the driveway. AS the an
imal neared the front of troop F quar-
tiers it SHE'D to the left and turned out
on the parade ground.
AS the horse made the sudden turn
to the left, the line on that side also
broke, and the shock overbalanced
Moore, throwing him out and allowing
the rear wheel to pass over his ankle,
breaking it.
The horse continued in his flight
across the parade ground, running
across the sidewalk above F companys
quarters and turning in the rear of F
and G company quarters, encircling
them and coming out on the parade
ground again.
At this juncture, Private Davenport,
of G company, better known as big
Six" made a dash for the animal,
caught it by the bride and threw his
whole weight on it. Even this did not
stop the thoroughly frightened animal
until he had covered considerable more
distance. The horse was then unhitch-
ed and Nathan Pendleton took it in
charge and Corporal Flynn, of G COM
pany, took the packages into the
company quarters to take care of
them. Meantime, Hospital Steward
Fred Giesking, who was at the ex-
change, had Moore removed on a
stretcher to F troop orderly room,
where he bandaged and set the broken
joint. The store was telephoned and a
carriage was soon sent for Moore as
we'll as a man to take care of the horse
and wagon. The wagon had glass win
dows on each side and they were not
injured. The only injury resulting to
the wagon being a broken right hand
shaft. In the runaway the wagon
struck several china trees and broke
the limbs off.

AN IDLE REPORT.

A report was current in this city last
night and this morning to the effect
that Joe Wilkens, ex-policeman,and ex-
fireman, who was convicted and SEN
fenced to five years at the October
term of the District court, along with
Jim Stevens, for the murder of the
man Collins, while attempting his ar
rest, had died at the Uvalde gravel
pits west of this city, where he was
working on the chain gang. Some ru-
mors were that he committed suicide,
others that he died through the severity
of his work, which had broken down
his not strong constitution. He passed
through the city last Sunday under
guard, going west, and then he appear
ed in very bad health and his hands
were one mass of putrid sores, so much
so that friends who met him at the
train could OF shake hands with
him.
The sheriff's office and the local off,
Gals of the Southern Pacific railway
or even the relatives of the unfortunate
man have received no notification of
the matter and the rumor is not gem
orally credited.
