Crush says.
Dallas, Texas. May 19.-Mr. W. G Crush
general passenger agent of the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas railway. said yesterday;
"You can say that work will begin imme-
diately on the two extensions from San
Marcos to San Antonio and from Waskom
to Jefferson. The time given us in which
to complete these additions is two years,
but that is a very wide margin. On or
about the LIST of January, 1900, 1t every
thing pans cut we'll the San Antonio eX-
tension will probably be ready for bust
ness. l say On or about, for unforeseen
contingencies may arise 10 occasionally de-
lay the work. | know, however that IL Is
the arrangements intention to push this
work with all possible dispatch and as the
distance is short at both places there is
no reason why the gaps should not be
covered in few months at most. Then
the Katy will be prepared to put into
execution many other long cherished plans
for perfecting the service to the highest
possible degree"

importau; criminal laws.
Under the present laws a Justice OF the
peace can only fine a person $40 and costs
for petty larceny. The legislature will

months imprisonment.
No matter how many times a man steals
in this state he does not stand In danger Of

One OF the matters which the legislature
Will he called Ola 10 consider at The APP

elect l.. Il. Andrews IS deeply Interested is
that OF the up-building Of American ship
ping. Mr.. Andrews, who Will represent the
1wenty-e.shth senatorial district AZ oiym-
pla for four years. proposes 10 introduce

memorial 20 congress calling upon the
uonal lawmakers TO pass such laws as VIII
Restore the American merchant marine 10
prestige upon The SEA.
Senator-eiect Andrews is now preparing

passed by the Seattle Chamber OF Com
merce. The memorial viii contain petit
ton TO congress asking that body 10 as
speedily as possible pass laws carrying INTO
effect the policy Of the Republican party
as enunciated AT 81. Louis.
Following is the text OF the st. Louis
resolution.
I'VE Favor restoring the American policy
OF discriminating duties for the up-buildlDs
Of our merchant marine and the protection
OF our shipping In the foreign carrying
trade, so that American ships, the product
of American labor employed In American
shipyaras, sailing under the Stars and
Stripes and manned. Differed and owned
by Americans may regain the carrying OF
our foreign commerce"
AT a recen; meeting of the Chamber OF
Commerce these resolutions We're passed.
Whereas. Commerce and trade is as
sential TO the life and perity OF our
nation as mining, manufacturing and agri-
culture, at least TO the extent of conducting
its own carrying trade; and
Whereas. This country is very deficient
in its merchant marine and depends largely
upon foreign bottoms FOR lis ocean traffic;
and
Whereas Our trade and commerce viii
be largely Increased by recently acquired
territorial possessions and dependencies.
and
Whereas. The president Of the United
States III his recent message 10 congress
recommends prompt, durable and liberal
legisla siou for the encouragem of Amer
lean shipping: therefore be il.
Resolved. That our delegation in con-
grrss ue invited and Urged to use their best
efforts to bring about speedily possi-
bic the desired results and that our own
legislature also he invited and urged by
memorial or otherwise 10 aid with It's intg-
tnce IN the accomplishment OF the same
object"
