AS appears from a notice pub
lished elsewhere, the merchantile
firm of Moss Bros & Co. was dis

instant.
Under the terms Of the change
Messrs Frank E. Moss and Arthur
Bonnet (both closely Identified with

many years.) succeed to the ttgen-
eral merchandise" portion Of the
former business, and DR.. N. p.
Moss takes charge of the ssdrug de-
partment," for his iadivi dual ac-
count.
The members of the two new
firms that haze sprung from the pa
rent firm, are all men Of sound bust
ness training with a large following
of friends, and this fact is ample
guarantee Of heir continued success
in the world Of commerce.
This change in the business af~
fairs of Moss Bros. & Co. was ef-
fected in the interest of DR.. NJ oss,
the senior member of the firm, te
facilitate him in meeting the increas-
ing demand being made on his time

Tom Reed is evidently not in
sympathy with the imperial policy
of his party. He said to the con-
vention that nominated him: "The
problems after the war will be the
most troublesome and will demand
most earnest efforts of us all. For
my part I hope that all these pro-
blems may be worked out consis-
tently with our time -honored and
dearly bought institutions and with
the traditions of our wise fore
fathers"

nies that part of the story which
gives to the desperate the credit of
having accomplished SO extraordi-
nary feat. 1t may not be amiss
to state here that Hornsby was very
positive about what he said in re-
gard to the alleged capture of the
posse. While Mr.. Veazey admits
the correctness of the other parts of
the story he emPhatically denies
having been taken to town by
Hornsby as prisoner. Mr.. Yea
zey comedies in his statement that
Hornsby capitulated only after
having obtained the acceptance
Of certain conditions. He held a
parley with the officers, offered his
terms in regular diplomatic style
and they were accepted before a
treaty of peace was agreed upon.
One of the conditions was that
"Frenchy," who was a member Of
the posse, be placed under arrest
and disarmed. :Frenchy" was the
companion of Castro when the latter
was killed by Hornsoy, hence the
advisability of placing him in
harmless condition. Other terms
were that Hornsby would not be
hand cuffed and that his family be
permitted to accompany him to
New Iberia. Hornsby stated in
the presence Of the writer that he
never gave up his rifle until he
reached New Iberia. The mem
bers of the posse were: Fred Yea
zey, Hartwell Hart, Henry Laugh
lin, Jean Marie Senac. Mr.. Pilet
and :Frenchy-"
During his stay in this parish
Hornsby has behaved very well.
Mr.. Mabry. the lessee of the Long
plantation, where HornsbY lived,
spoke of him in favorable terms.
Though quick tempered he did not
nurse a grudge against anyone.
Several persons who did business
with him SAID that they always
found him honest in his dealings.

THE TEXANS AND ANNEX
TON

THE TEXANS AND ANNEA-
ZZON.
The Picayune wants to know how
the Democrats of Texas can op-
pose the annexation of territory and
be consistent. Our distinguished
contemporary says that Texas was
annexed to the United States and
the Texans cannot consistently oP-
pose annexation of other territory.
If the Picayune fails to see how the
Texans can refuse to advocate an
'fmpertalistic" policy it is equally
hard for many Democrats to see
how a good, old Democratic paper
like the Picayune can see its way
clear to advocate annexation of
more territory.
It is with much diffidence that
we take issue with so able a journal
as The Picayune, but we are unable
to see wherein is the Inconsistency
of the Texas Democrats in their
opposition to imperialism. 1t
seems to us that there is a vast diff
ference between the annexation of
Texas, settled, as it was, by a
homogeneous race, and the annex
alton of the Hawaiian and the Phil
ippine islands, which are inhabited
by people belonging to various
races, being unaccustomed to our
free institutions, and, by reason Of
-,
riously unfit for self-government-
The Texans of the earlier days
were brave, noble and Hbertylov-
ing, and at no time was their ability
to govern themselves seriously ques-
toned. Not so with the Kanakas,
the Filipinos and even the Porto
Ricans and Cubans. Experience
proves that they are not fit to take
own hands. AS soon as Texas was
admitted as State the Lone Star
took it's place among the American
constellation, and no one will ques-
received the Texans as citizens on
equal terms. Texas was adjoining
the United States and it required no
navy and army to enforce our laws
there, whereas the islands which are
proposed to be annexed to the
United States are away out in the
sea with population as ignorant of
the institutions of this government
as they are unfit to enjoy its privi
leges.
The policy of expansion about to
be inaugurated is certainly a radi-
cal departure from the time-honored
institutions bought by the blood of
our forefathers and bequeathed to
us by the ablest constructive states
men of any age. All this talk
about expansion and the glitter and
pomp of an imperial policy is
doubtless very seductive and may
lead the American people astray
from the simple path traced out for
them by the founders Of the Repub-
lie, but let the nation beware lest it
will suffer the loss of its liberties.

THE TOWNS ANSWER,


Filed in The District Court,
Charges Fraud and Collusion.
The answer filed by the Councils
attorneys, Messrs. Caffery, Girard, |,
Mouton and Campbell, makes GER
tain charges which, if substantiated,
will seriously reflect upon the char
acter and reputation of the Consoli-
dated Engineering Company and
Robert r. Zell, the towns consult
ing engineer.
The town AYERS that the Consoli-
dated Engineering Company has
used inferior material in the con-
struction of the plant, and not of the
kind stipulated in the contract; that
the work was done in an unwork-
manlike and defective manner; that
although the time for the compile
ton of the plant has long since
past, it is still incomplete.
The defendant specially charges
that the boilers, which seem to be
the source of most of the trouble,
are inferior and defective in capa-
city, economy and safety; that they
are badly set and not up to the re-
quirements of the contract.
The charge is made ssthat by col
lusion and fraud between them, the
Consolidated Engineering Company
and Robert R. Zell, the towns SUI
perintending engineer, the inferior
and defective material was used and
the unworkmanlike work was done,
and the same afterward fraudulent
ly, enormously and to the great in
jury and damage of defendant, was
certified by Zell as having been
done in accordance with the con-
tract"
1t is futher charged by the defen-
dant ssthat the boilers nominally
acquired by plaintiff from the Ala
bama Bridge and Boiler Works,
were in fact acquired from r.. r.
Zell; all Of which has come to the
knowledge of defendant since de-
livery of the plant.'
The towns counsel allege that
*:although duly notified to do So,
the Consolidated Engineering Com
pany, has failed and refused to
comply with the terms Of the con-
tract by placing boilers of the kind
and quality required by the con-
tract, and removing other inferior
material therefrom.'
The town claims that by it's fail
ure to comply with the contract the
company has caused the corpora
ton loss, injury and damage to the
amount of 5000, and owing to the
fraudulent Vaccinations of plain
tiff $500 is the sum sued for as
attorneys fees. All rights against
the American Surety Company, on
the bond of the Consolidated En-
gineering Company, are reserved.
The town also reserves the right to
claim compensation for ''defective
material and work not now known
as we'll as for the maintenance of
said plant, and for general relief"

The steamship Cleveland. which ran
ashore on Bean point early last Friday
morning while en- route TO Tacoma was
pulled or at go o'clock yesterday morn
ing by three powerful tugs OF the Puget
Sound Companys feet.
The work of rescuing the stranded
steamer from her uncomfortable position
was begun early Saturday morning by the
tug Tyee. The Tyee arrived at Pert
Townsend Friday night from San Fran
cisco. TO which place she had towed the
steamer Corona from Seattle during the
preceding week Acting under instruc-
tons from Capt. j. b. Libby. Capt. Bailey
OF the Tyee proceeded at once
up sound and arrived at Bean point AZ 2
O'Clock the next morning.
At that time the tide was at Its fullest
height and just beginning TO recede.
Capt. Bailey got hawser on board the
Cleveland. The water. however. had
washed the sand around the vessels hull
In large drifts. which caused her 70 be-
come more firmly Undecided with each
rise and fall of the tide. The powerful en-
gines of the Tyee did their best. but the
men on the tug persevered. and pulled for
three hours steadily. but the tide was
rapidly ebbing. and 1t was evident that
the work would soon have TO be aban-
doned.
II is commonly remarked among steam
boat men on Puget sound that whenever
the Tyee hooks onto anything something
has TO give. In this instance the big
nine-inch hawser suddenly parted with
loud bang and the broken ends twisted and
wriggled like gigantic snakes. The at
tempt at pulling the Cleveland of the sand
spit was given up, and the Tyee came to
Seattle.
Early yesterday morning the work was
resumed and in addition to the Tyee the
Tacoma and Monarch. two other powerful
tow boats. got their hawsers on the
stranded steamer and started 20 work.
The boilers of the three tugs were crowd
ed TO their utmost capacity with steam.
and the safety valves were frequently
t,cwing OF.
AT a given signal the tugs started ahead
al full speed, but the Cleveland did not
mcve Another attempt was made. but
without result. The third time the tugs
ruled the Cleveland moved few feet.
and another strong pull sent her clear OF
tie sand into deep. water.
As soon as the steamer had Aeen towed
a safe distance from the shore an invests-
CATION was made Of her hold to see IL
there were any leaks. 1t was found that
the vessel had received no injury. having
struck no rocks. and she was towed to
Quartermaster harbor. where she wiz be
cleaned and repaired.
