Houston, Tuesday, March 20.
Unseasonable weather has had the effect of
holding the volume OF business down. The
unfortunate accident at the electric light
power house and the street car strike are also
rctarding trade to some extent. Muddy streets
prevent the peddlers from getting about the
city, and when darkness comes on people hay-
Ing business down town hurry home
Tho Cuban situation is Affecting Texas busl-
ness. The TIME for planting cotton has ar
rived and merchants and bankers are not In
cllped to make advances until The agitation
ceases, Dnd this is about us uncertain d guam
THY Us any other factor. One DAY all is peace
and tho next II iools warlikc. The prices Of
stocks bob up AMI down and the other si,ece-
lntiyc markets do the same. Spot prices, how
ever have SO far remained remarkably steady
dining all the furlics In future delivery eoit-
tracts.
With the political question settled, street
car traffic regularly resumed and favorable
weather. an active busincss is confidently
looked for.

NEvADA.s CARELESS sOLONs.
Four Legislators Elect Fail TO Com
ply with the statutes.

Flanagan, Senator. elect from Washoe
county, H. Martin, Senator. elect from
Douglas, Gedney, Assemblyman from Ell
ko, and Lem Allen, Assemblymsn from
Churchill, compose the quartette OF mem
bers-elect on the Legislative ticket who
failed to file statements OF their campaign
expenses within the time specified in the
Purity Of Elections law, Section 4 Of which
reads: "n Q candidate for public Office
refuses or neglects TO file q statement pre-
scribed by Section 8 OF this Act. no certih.
cate of election shall be issued to him
neither shall any official bond presented
or offered by him be approved. etc."
Gedney telsgraphed his statement from
Elko on the 23d, bat for some reason IL
was not filed until the following day. Mar.
tin filed his with the Clerk Of his county,
but might Is we'll have fled 1t with the
Justice Of the Peace of his township. He,
O. did Lem Allen, filed after the prescribed
date. their statements with the Secretary
Of State. Flanagan has filed no state
ment at all.
As TO the political complexion Of the de-
linquents, Flanagan Is . Republican. Mar.
tin IN Independent. Gedney a strAightoui
Democrat. and Lem Allen . Silver party
man. Allen has served several terms In
the Assembly and II Is hard to conceive
how he could have been SO neglectful, with
so much experience In that line.
As affecting the Senatorial contest. those
better posted place Flanagan and Gedney
as opposed TO Stewart. Martin doubtful,
and Allen an avowed supporter of Stewart.
Doubtless each will demand his seat 10
the House 70 which he was elected. and
each will decide upon the claims OF the
applicants for admission to its respective
body. As there appears to be no differ
ence in the claims Of the several delin-
quents II seems probable. and certainly
just. that all should be admitted or reject

THE OFFICIAL CANVASS.

Who she next Governor Of Nevada will
be will probably remsin in doubt until the
Supreme Court csnvssses the vote. Ae-
cording 70 section 4 Of Article 5 Of the
Constitution this will not be done until
the third Monday OF December. The Art
icle provides as follows:
1.-THE returns Of every election for Gov
ernor and other State officials voted for 81
the general election, shall be sealed up
and transmitted to the seat OF government,
directed TO the Secretary OF State. and on
the third Mondsy Of December succeed
ing such election, the Chief Justice Of the
Supreme Court and the Associate justices,
or Q majority thereof, shall meet ct the
Office Of the Secretary Of State. and open
and canvass the election returns for Gov
ernor and all other State officers, and forth
with declare the result. and publish the
names Of the persons elected. The persons
having the highest number Of votes for
the respective Offices shall be declared
elected; but in case any " or more have
an equal number Of votes for the same
Office, the Legislature shall by joint vote
Of both houses, elect one Of said persons
10 fill said Office.
Between now and the third Monday Of
December the people can speculate upon
who the next Governor OF the State will
be, o. the contest is 30 close between Mo
MILAN and Ssdler that it will require the
Official canvass TO decide IL.
