ORIGIN OF TEXAs'S NICKNAME.
CuIbersOn Explains Whence Came the
Designation "LOne Star State"

DALLAS, Tex. Jan. 31.-Mountley S.
Stokey, of Dubuque, Ia, some time ago
wrote Governor Culberson, asking why
Texas is called the Lone Star State. The
latter has answered the request in an elab-
crate letter, giving all the history bearing
upon the subject The Governor states that
there are only two accounts of the origin
of the designation. One is that Henry
Smith. the first chief executive of the
Texas republic, having no seal with which
to stamp official documents, cut a brass
button from his coat on which was en-
graved star and used this Is a seal An
other, supported by John Henry Brown,
the Texas historian, and Governor Culber-
son, is that the lone star was chosen by
the young republic in contrast to the con-
stellation used by the United States. The
Governor concludes:
THE first Congress of the republic of
Texas met Oct. 3, 1885, and during the ses-
sion adopted flag and seal which are
those now in use by the State. The flag is
of red white and blue, with five-pointed
single star of white, and the seal is a star
surrounded with a wreath of laurel and
oak. The conclusion is entirely reasonable
and logical that the flag and seal of Texas
were originally suggested by those flags
of her revolutionary war, inspired them
selves by the American insignia of sover-
eighty and that the designation of the
Lone Star State comes from the use of a
single star on her standard

EXTRAORDINARY HEAT.
1875 I'm the Shade i'm Austria sia-Many
DeafrnctiYe Fires.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Jan. 91.-The
steamer Warrimo, just arrived from Aus
tralia, brings news of appalling climatic
conditions which have been prevailing in
many sections of Great Britain's Austria
lasian colonies. The prostrations from heat
were so numerous that the condition of af-
fairs in large cities We're alarming. In a
great many instances work was out of the
question and sleep impossible, while in the
evening the inhabitants gathered on the
streets and sat on the curbstones, enjoying
the comparatively cool night air. kilograms
showed that the same conditions prevailed
all over the colonies. The thermometer, dur
ing the heat of day. averaged about 124 in
the shade, and in a long list of towns the
lowest figure found was 10. In the sun it
was 160 so it was impossible to work at
midday. The heat caused numerous fires
from spontaneous combustion and the
houses were SO baked during the day that
in the worst section the residents were
sleeping in gardens and on roofs. The dam
age from fire in many parts of Australasia
was very great 1t would appear from the
press reports that the total damage will
amount to millions of pounds. In Victoria
colony 100000 acres have been swept clear
and an enormous acreage OF crops de-
stroyed In other colonies houses and barns
were burned.
The Warrimoo brings news of a serious
accident in Melbourne, in which many lives
were lost. Inspector Mosep, of the City
Board of Public Works, and a gang of men
went down to investigate. A tardy work
. man, who followed them, came back, saying
that Mosep and all the gang We're overcome
by sewer gas. Hundreds of citizens crowded
around the vent hole, but none dared at
tempt the rescue, though they knew the
men were dying beneath their feet. The
sewer region, where the men We're inclosed
was flooded by the fire department, but the
pressure was so strong that it was impossi-
BILE to unfasten the vent holes, and the gas
was let off by means of "A syphon. Divers

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Jan. 31-Hon
Henry M. Hoyt, deputy attorney general
of the United States, arrived here from
Harrisburg to-day, to be in attendance at
the trial of Sheriff Martin and his deputies.
which begins tomorrow. In sending Mr..
Hoyt here to attend the trial, the United
States government has only one object in
view namely, to protect itself in case for
eigp governments file claims for damages
for the killing Of their subjects at Lattimer
Austria has already made a move i'm that
direction, and it is understood if the ver-
dict is against Sheriff Martin and his dep
uties Germany and Italy will file claims at
once. 1t is reported that each of the gov
ernments will have q representative from
their legations at Washington present at
the trial. Secretary Sherman having re-
ceived notice OF this, decided to have the
trial. Bx-Attorney General Palmer has
been added to the list of attorneys for the
defense, and Hon. Scarlet, of Danville will
be one of a half-dozen lawyers who will
assist in the prosecution. 1t is expected
that the whole of tomorrow will be con-
sumed in selecting a jury.

Official Denial of the Report that an
Two Nations as to China.
PORT ARTHUR NOT CLOSED
RUSSIANS HAVE NOT BEEN GRANTED
A CONCESSION THERE.
One of the Cznr's Ships, with Troops
for VIadivOstOcI< Aboard, Permit
ted to Pass the BOsphOrus.

LONDON, Jan 31.-It is announced on the
best authority that the talk of an Anglo
Japanese plan of campaign in certain even
Qualities is unfounded. No such matter has
occupied the attention of the statesmen of
the two countries, and no agreement exists
between England and Japan except the
common desire to secure the free develop
ment of trade in China. AS regards Port
Arthur, the Russian fleet, according to the
same authority is only there for winter
quarters, and the statements as to a Rus
sian occupation are unfounded. China is
willing that the English war ships should
anchor there as required.
The Manchester Guardian hears that the
difficulty in the far East has been solved by
opening Port Arthur to trade on the same
terms as Kiaochau, Great Britain with
drawing her demand of the opening of Ta-
lien-Wan
The Shanghai correspondent of the Daily
Mail says a dispatch has been received
there from Port Arthur asserting that no
British vessels remain in the harbor, and
that the Iphigenia and the Daphne left
week ago. Advices from Peking say it is
supposed that Great Britain's withdrawal
from Port Arthur and her ceaSing to exert
pressure for the opening of the port of Ia
lien-Wan, which actions are regarded at
Peking as incredible and suicidal to British
interests and prestige, were owing TO her
disbelief in the existence of a secret treaty
between Russia and China The Chinese
government, however, quotes this treaty as
the reason for Russia's presence at Port
Arthur, and Russian dispatches to the
Tsung-Li- Yamen allege that the occupation
of Port Arthur is il accordance with the
treaty.
The Russian auxiliary cruiser Saratoff,
belonging TO the volunteer fleet, with twelve
quick-fring guns and 800 troops on board,
passed the Bosphorus yesterday on her way
to Vladivostock. According to a dispatch
to the London Times from Odessa, cabled
last night, the Russian volunteer fleet will
convey in the quickest time practicable,
over ten thousand Russia troops to the far
East 1t is added that the first cruiser, with
1000 men, would leave within a few days.
1t is probable that the first cruiser was the
Saratoff.

BRIToNs IN TROUBLE.
Four Captured After "a Naval Fight
with the MOOrs.

TANGIER, Jan. 31--The British steamer
Tourmalin, it is officially announced, while
attempting to land arms and stores on the
coast of Morocco, was intercepted by the
Sheridan steamer Hassani, whereupon she
opened fire. The Hassani reciprocated, and
captured one of the ships boats, with three
Englishmen. The Moorish troops then de-
molished the villages favorable to foreign
ers, killing numbers of the inhabitants.
The difficulty appears to have arisen from
the operations of a British mining COM
pany, the Globe Venture. a syndicate acting
under a treaty whereby the Sus chiefs
granted a trading and mining monopoly
over $50, 900 square miles of the Sus district.
BERLIN, Jan. 31.-A dispatch from Tan
gier to the Cologne Gazette says the gov
ernment of Morocco has arrested five men,
bers of the Globe Venture syndicate on a
charge of unlawful trading.
LONDON, Feb. IA dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Mogador, Morocco, says
that, an expedition having occupied Erkzes
presumably on the Sus COAST, with the
sistance of rebel trbesmen, the Sultans
troops attacked and defeated it after Sc
we're fighting, capturing four Engishmen.

When and How to Go.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Jan. 31.-WiIliam Ogil-
vie, the Canadian surveyor, was in Buffalo
to-day. Being asked to when he would
advise Americans to set out for the Klon-
dixie, Mr.. Ogilvie said: Parties starting
March to 20 will get to the diggings about
as soon as those starting now. The middle
of May is the earliest they can reach Daw-
son City. / would advise them to go by the
Dyea or White pass at present That route
takes them there in the shortest time and
at least expense of physical force and
money"
Mr.. Ogilvie thought that it was better to

The trouble in taking a number of dogs or
mules along. he said, is that it is necessary
to carry food for them. and they eat more
than they are worth. Speaking of person
going to the gold fields without any knowl-
edge of mining, he. said that experience OF
expert knowledge is not really required.
In fact, the men who had been mining in
that section for years were the most in
credulous. No geographical or geological
knowledge Is necessary either. Many of the
strikes are due more to luck than anything
else, being stumbled on.

Must Accept Prince George of Greece

Commercial Advertiser from London says:
"There is an impression here that the Sui.
tan in the end will be compelled to accept
Prince George as governor of Crete. 1t is
strong enough to provoke discussion of the
consequences, namely, that the Turks. with
Mohammedan feeling aroused will be less
disposed than ever to evacuate Thessaly,
and that the Balkan states. already dis
turbed and restless, will be likely to ask
compensation for Greece's virtual gain of
Crete. The European concert as to the near
