without a single accident. The nam

Washington, February 21.-There
was final conference yesterday be-
tween the high contracting powers
over the Texas slate. After spending
nearly four hours in argument and dis
cussion, the conferees were unable 10
agree and the Austin collectorship case
Is now up to the present, who will pick
the winner as soon MS he gets time.
There are only three candidates now
left in the field; Green is backing Elan
agan; lIAwley is backing Henry Fer
guson, and Grant is Charles Fergu-
sons sponsor. No other case except
the collectorshlp was discussed by the
conference.
Appointments in Green's, Grants
and Hawley's districts will be left to
each of the gentlemen respectively.
The balance of the state appointments
will be made through the regular or
ganizaton.
While Major Joe Burkes name was
not considered by the conference, his
friends here claim that he is by lie
means out of the race for collector
and they further urge that the failure
of the conference to agree on one of
their men may result in Burke's Sc
lection by the president, as he has the
stongest outsode backing of any 9th
er applicant.

Tho L. S. Ross Memorial.

College Station, Texas, February p.
The eX-cadets of the Agricultural and
Mechanical college of Texas, as ex-
preston of their appreciation of the
great work accomplished by General L.
$. Ross in the upbulldlng and estab-
lishment on firm basis of a great in
stltutlOn for the education of the
young men OF Texas, have decided to
erect n monument on the college cam
pus to honor the memory of him they
loved so well, and to impress his life
history upon other students who will
in after years partake of the benefit of
his arduous labors.
An earnest appeal is made to every
eX-cadet of the Agricultural and Me
chanical college; to every citizen of the
state of Texas who reveres the mem
Dry of General Ross; to every eX-Con-
federate that honors the name of one
of the knightllest most chivalrous splr-
its that ever drew n sword in defense
of home and country.
The best years of his life were given
to the education of the youth of the
state he loved so well and it is appro-
lriate that the example of his life
should be constantly before the young
men of Texas. This can not more fit
tin2ly be accomplished than by the
erection Of monument on the college
campus where the ripper years of his
illustrlous life were spent.
Those wishing to forward this move
ment should send contributions to
members of the executive committee:
w. b. Philpott, chairman, College
Station.
c. c. Todd, secretary, College sta
ton.
f. \. Relchardt, treasurer, Houston.
II. II. Franklin, Houston.

Washington, February ia debate
decided in its sensations was uneX-
pectedly precipltated in the senate yes
terday over the consideration of the
resolution of the committee on naval
affairs to investigate the disaster to
the Maine. An arrangement has been
made for the adoption of the resolu-
ton with minor amendment without
debate.
Mr. Mason GllD. however. proposed
substitute providing for an investl-
cation to be conducted by joint COM
mittee of the two branches of congress.
Upon this the Illinois senator, disre-
gardlng the wish to prevent a discus
sion, made n speech in which he said
the people demanded the whole truth
concerning the explosion and declared
that they would not be satisfied with
the investigation to be conducted by
the officers of the navy, who would vir-
tually try their own case and would
cover up any blame that might show
attached to them. He forcibly de-
nounced the policy of the government
in dealing with the Cuban question,
into which he went at length, and de-
clared that the United States had
adopted the policy of Spain in put
ting off everything until tomorrow.
Sharp replies to Mr. Mason's speech
were made by Mr.. Wolcott and Mr..
Lodge
Mr.. Wolcott declared that not a pa
triotic citizen in this broad land has
not the fullest and splendid and glori-
GUS confidence in every department of
the government and in the department
of the navy particularly. Mr., Wolcott
thought this was a time when we
should refrain from gratuitous insult
to friendly nation and from unjust
and ignorant criticism.
'War may come" said he; 81 think
myself the day may not be far distant.
When that day comes our course must
he ternally grounded in the right. War
Is a grim decision and when it comes it
must be so that the people of the world
can at least respect our conduct and
our position And, above all. 1T must
come under circumstances which make
us respect ourselves"
MI Lodge in a brief but brilliant
speech defended the honor Of the navy
and Secretary Long and the naval Off
GERS.
The resolution which precipitated the
discussion finally went to the calen.
