COMPLICATIONS IN TEXAS.
Silver Men Attacking Ex-Senator
 Mills Position on Finances.

Washington, Feb. 17.-An interest strongly illustrates the difference of attitude assumed by the democrats now from that occupied when such men as Cleveland, Mills and Carlisle were recognized leaders. The success sor to MT. Mills in the senate is to be elected, and, not being strong on the silver question, MT. Mills is making his fight on the old tariff-reform-free- raw-material platform, which he and MT. Cleveland stood for. A governor is to be elected also, as well as the members of the house next fall. The issue invoked by MT. Mills is expect ed to involve every candidate in the state. The silver people are fighting Mills on account of his not standing with them, and he is attacked also on the ground of his free raw material position.
 In reply to a card defining his po- sition, issued by Senator Mills, Rep resentative Bailey makes the follow ing statement:
 Senator Mills letter announcing his candidacy for reelection to the senate very distinctly raises the free raw material issue, and as I consider his position on that question at vari- ance with all the principles of the democratic party, I shall take an ac tive part in the canvass and support Gov Culberson. Of course, Senator Mills will not be permitted to subordi- nate the financial question to the tariff question, but I am perfectly sure that Gov Culberson will be more than ready to meet him on an issue which plainly stated is neither more nor less than a proposition to take the tax off everything which the manufac- turers buy and leave the tax on every thing which the manufacturers sell. The opposition of the real democrats of this country to that policy is not due, as has been so frequently assert ed, to any sympathy with the doe Urine of protection, either incidental or direct, but is due entirely to a be- lief that the manufacturers ought to be compelled to contribute their share toward the support of the gov ernment the same as the people who must buy and consume their goods"

LIVESTOCK NOTES.

I have tried many remedies for caked bag, all of which failed to give satisfaction until I got liniment, of which the following is the recipe, and any person can make it: One ounce spirits turpentine, one teacup two- thirds full of cider vinegar, white of one egg. Put all into bottle, shake thoroughly, and it is fit for use. AL ways shake before using. I had a heifer this fall with udder as hard as stone. Three teaspoonfuls applied in three applications removed all the cake in inflammation, and I had no more trouble with it.-E. Van Allen.
 A writer on sheep says that it is asking too much for an eve to make her growth and shear the heaviest or next heaviest fleece of her life, and raise lamb, in one year. It cannot be done without checking the growth of the sheep, and producing a lamb lacking in constitution. Continuing in that line for several years, the flock master will have a very uneven flock, and constitution will be bred out of them.
 If there are symptoms of garget, or caked udder, apply hot water-as hot as the hand can bear it-plentifully and often. Also rub the udder with the hand for five minutes at a time, three or four times a day. If this treatment is begun immediately after the symptoms are noticed it will usu- ally prove effective.

CHARGED WITH HERESY.
Presbyterians With Sharp Stick
 After Dr. McGiffert

New York, Feb. 1.-The Times to- morrow will say: Members of the Presbytery of New York are in re- ceipt of letters from every part of the country urging that Rev. Dr. Arthur c. McGiffert, one of it's number, and Washburn, professor of church his tory in Union Theological seminary, be brought before the New York pres bytery on a charge of heresy. The causes of this demand are statements by Professor McCiffert in his recent book, "A History Of Christianity in the Apostolic Age"
 In this book, it is claimed, Professor McGiffert departs from the commonly accepted orthodox interpretation of the meaning of the Lords supper.

ANNOUNCEMENT is made that in Febru-
airy next the tribunal which is to adjust
the dispute between Great Britain and
Venezuela as to the British Guiana
boundary line will assemble in Paris
Venez1ela's case has already been laid
before the members OF the tribunal, and
Great Britain's representatives will
present her case in July. Venezuela is
represented in the tribunal by Chief
Justice Fuller and Associate Justice
Brewer, of the Supreme Court OF the
United States, and they, with the Brit
ish representatives, have chosen, in ac-
cordance with the terms of the treaty,
M. de Mertens, chief counsellor of the
Russian Foreign Office and an eminent
authority Oh international law, to be the
fifth member OF the tribunal. A peace
full solution OF the difficulty is therefore
assured, and meanwhile the nations in
volved 60 about the ordinary conduct OF
their affairs, content to allow this matter
to be settled by the diplomats to whom
it has been entrusted The incidental
announcement of all this, however, re-
calls a controversy which has passed
completely out of the public mind, and
which most people probably supposed
to have been finally settled. What
American now gives a thought to the
Venezuelan boundary dispute? And
yet, in December, 1895, when President
Cleveland sent his memorable message
to Congress, we were within an ace of
going to war with England over ques-
ton in which we have not the slightest
interest. Suppose we had gone to war
then?

HUNDREDS WILL VISIT
This City on the Occasion Ofthe Third
Trades Day Excursion, June
% and 10.

The third Trades Day Excursion viii
be run from all points on Delaware
Division, Of the p, w. 4 B. X. r., ant
from different points on Baltimore and
Ohio r. r., and Wilmington and North
ern, to Wilmington on Thursday anC
Friday, June 9th and 10th.
The occasion will be run on exactly
the same conditions as the last two, one
straight fare for the round trip tickets
good for two days, including day of sale
II is expected that fifteen hundred peo-
pie will visit Wilmington on the dates
named herein. : ..s.. s...-.
The first excursion was considered q
success, while the second one surpassed
the expectations OF the most sanguine
supporters OF this most excellent move
ment The visitors on the last excursion
spent fully five times as much money as
was spent on the day of the first one.
This is mainly due to the fact that the
shoppers from down the State are now
beginning to realize that Wilmington is
the place for them to buy; being more
advantageous to them in way OF cheaper
railroad fare and quicker delivery OF
their goods. This coupled with the fact
that the local stores have just as full a
| line of goods at prices not to be beaten
elsewhere has proved drawing card for
this city which cannot help but bring
good results.
A thorough canvass of the leading
merchants shows that they are all
pleased with the results already derived
and believe that a continuance of these
excursions will benefit the Wilmington
merchants to the extent of fully two
hundred thousand dollars per annum.
1t is believed that the excursion IN June
will surpass all others, due from the fact
that the weather will be more favorable
and will give the excursionists the
opportunity of visiting our parks which
at that time will be open, and OF course
will be an additional attraction.
1t will also be about the close Of straw,
berry season and the people will thel
have more money to spend.
Too much cannot be said to further
this cause as it has already proved 6
great benefit to the city, and it is hopeC
that the merchants and manufacturers
both large and small, will give then
moral and financial support to make
these excursions fixture.

and many wounded in the fight. "To the

''belongs the uniading honor of being
the first regiment, armed and equipped
for service, to respond to the President $

was unsettled at the opening, in SYM
rathy with the fluctuations in other
domestic grain centres, and prices de-
clined &c. on call, cash and May No.
