MAJOR PECK, OF HOUSTON, HERE
He Says if Eddie and the Doc Can't
Agree, 1t Will Be Hawley.

Major c.. B. Peck, of Houston, gen.
eral manager of the Texas Car Service
association and General Inspector Black
of the association and wife, are at the
VendOme, Messrs. Peek and Black
! being here on the business of the assO-
citation. The extent of the transac-
tions of the association may be ina
gined on learning that thirty-two rail-
roads and 600 agents report TO 1t daily.
Major Peck is one of the more
prominent republicans of the state, as
| we'll as being a volunteer veteran OF
promi nence, having been major in
the second army corps, Hancock's COM
mand, aud is present member in high
standing of the Loyal Legion. In con-
versatiOn last evening with HERALD
reporter the m 4 Or, in referring To the
| political conditions in the state said,
among other things: There is an
unfortunate fight on between two
| leaders of the Republican party in Tex
as, viz, DR.. JOhn Grant, national com
mitteemau, and + H. K. Green, chair
man of the state executive committee.
Each gentleman seeks to control the
patronage of the state, and thus far,
the honors are with DR.. Grant But
with the close of the present session OF
congress matters will settle down. r.
B. Hdwley, the only republican mem
Der OF congress from Texas, has become
potent factOrrin the distribution of
affairs in this state; and if there IS TO
be much longer this facsiOnal fight AS
to who SHALL be leaders, the true con-
sentative publicans Lot in search OF
pie, will gather and chose a new leader
who will bring the republicans togeth-
CIR: and l believe that leader will be Il.
B. Hawley."
The ma or was asked as to Captain
billions chances for the cole -torship,
aud he replied that Congressman Haw-
ley was for Dillon; and Major Peck
himself endorsed Captain DIlion's can
didacy. But-snd the speaker re-
ferred back to the leadership theme.
What we all as loyal, conservative
republicans want is cessation from
fractional fighting in Texas, and coal
ition of all our forces SO we may pre-
sent a united front to our common
enemy. Unless we secure that, there
is not much to hops for republicaolsm
in Texas. Should these hopes be real
lied, Texas will within a brief time be
found in the republican column.
Major Peck was entertained today
by eX-POstmaster j. A. Smith, ere re-
turning east. The major is genial
gentleman, one who e politics are
cleaniy cut, and who stands well in the
highest circles. He is a brother of
General Solicitor George w. Peck OF
the st. Paul road, and an uncle of the
Merrick boys; formerly of Ell Paso.

Nineteen Suits Filed.

Austin, Texas, dispatch.-Attorne
General Crane today filed ten suits
against the Houston and Texas Central
railroad and nine against the Calves
ton, San Antonio and Harrisburg rail-
road for S. 900 penalty in each case for
alleged vIoiotion of the railroad COM
mission rates last year in the shipment
of cotton. The petition sets out that
the railroads Disseminated in
favor of Inman & Co., among the larg-
est cotton buy ers in Texas, and against
w. D. Cleveland, of Houston, by
charging the latter more for a shor,
haul than the first named for long
haul. Petition says that Inman & Co.
would have their cotton billed to New
Orleans, when its real destination was
Houston, where it would be unloaded.
The state appears to have a strong
case.

State Chairman Green.

E. b. r. Green, chairman of the
republican state executive committee,
was in Dallas day before yesterday,
and was interviewed by the Dallas
News reporter. The state charm an
discussed crops, RAILROADS and the
miners strike. Speaking of the pro-
posed visit of his mother, Mrs. Hetty
Green, to Texas in October he said:
Mother has never visited Texas, al
though her money built the Houston
and Texas Central and she was inter-
ested at one time in the Intern ational
and Great Northern railroad. She
will come down in October and spend q
couple Of days in Dallas, attending the
great state fair, home industry conven-
ton and other attractions
The Oh airman was asked the status
Of things at Washington with regard
TO the distribution of patronage. He
said:
II spent considerable time there and
the agreement goes. My indorse-
ments are hOnored.- ] have no reason
to complain of my treatment at the
hands of the pr esident or heads of
Departments. Take the Hunt case.
My man, Marshall, withdrew in favor
of Hunt and Congressman Hawiey in
dorseo Hunt. Col. Hunt came to see
me at the Arlington and
said to him, My hands are off. Go in
and win.' He won. 1t looks all right
at the national capital. Business.
Well, firmly believe that good times
are coming. With magnificent crops
Texas should be in the swim this fall.
Yes; 1 believe that the new tariff Law
will revive stsgnant industries and
assist largely in restoring the old con-
dltion Of things when the country was
prosperous and wOrkingmen had plenty
to do at iivicp wages"

The latest rumOr from Alaska is of
the discovery of wonderfully rich quartz
in large quantities on the Stewart
River. Particulars are vague, and, be-
yond the fact that the ledge is a large
one, and that the rock assays $500.
nothing can be learned. This. if true
will mean much for the Klondike dis
trict. The Stewart River runs into
the Yukon not far above Dawson, and
it is reasonable to suppose that the
placer gold now being found below
may have it's origin in the mountains
at the head of the Stewart and neigh
boring rivers and creeks.

Col. VIM. l.. Hall is in receipt of a
letter from Los Angeles of date of July
20, from Hon. OlIn Wellborn, United
States district judge for the southern
district of California, replying to an
inquiry as to who is the .. NJ. Well
born, lately removed from the collec-
torship of Internal revenue, California,

While living there he was engaged in
mercantile business and STOOD well in
