Whether or not compressed air is

the T. P. at this end is a problem di-

testified to, that the T. P. construction

weeks with q force of 30 men working

Superintendent Smiths Idea.

In conversation, Superintendent OF
Terminals Eben B. Smith, of the Texas
aud Pacific, yesterday said: 1.-The
company has as yet taken no action as
regards the Improvements OF the leVee
at this point. The old residents here
said that flood in July was an unusual
thing. Possibly q flood in August
might be quite as unusual My idea Is
to prepare for every possible emergen-
cy, and the foremost among the great
est possibilities is the high water. NO
one can tell when rise in the Rio
Grande river is coming and q man Is
very foolish to even offer a prediction.
The White Oaks people are terrifying
their road bed along the river front and
that will save us to grea. extent, but
not sufficient to assure US safety from
the ravages of high water. l think
immediate action on the part OF all
concerned would prove most satisfacto-
ry in the end. The concern of one is
the concern of all, is the way look at
it as regards the present difficulty with

Want Wages Restored.

A special from Knoxville, Tenn,
says: The Southern Railway employees
running into this city tonight held a
meeting, at which q report was made
by a committee, recently sent to Wash
ington. This committees work was to
solicit from the officials of the road q
restoration of q 10 per cent cut which
was made in the wage scale in 1898. The
committee received much encourage
ment in Washington and it is given
out here that the railroad men expect
a partial restoration of the cut within
a very short time. 1t may be that the
entire 10 per cent v ill be restored by
the 1st of next January. The action OF
the local railroaders was inspired by
the restoration of the cut on the Louis
vile and Nashville short time ago.
General Manager Cannon, at Wash
| ington, assured the committee that the
road would accord the men every in
| crease possible.
