TOBACCO CONDEMNED.
General Presbytery Prohibits it's Use
by the ClcrRy.

Indianapolis, Ind, April cat yestcr-
days session the presbytery OF the United
Presbyterians voted not to burden the book
of discipline and government with over
lures suggested by the general assembly
in regard to the use OF tobacco. The over
lures read In part as follows:
THE use OF tobacco is sinful, and, there
fore, inconsistent with tho Christian pro-
fession. Because the use of tobacco il
especially obnoxious in officers OF the
church, no officer will be ordained unless
he promise to refrain from It's use, No
student shall be admitted to llcensure to
preach the gospel, or ordained, unless he
promise TO refrain from the use OF to-
bacco"

iexas The pending bill proposed 10 make
tnese hopes reality.
Mr. Wooten argued that the bill In AZ
iect gives MIR. Huntington ana Inc rali.

perpetual monopoly in the water from Al.
seflned In the bill amounting 10 two
illus OF mile The length or the wharf
front covered is immaterlaj Noroneises
are not measured By miles. III a "a an
exclusive and perpetual use and title OF
a public privilege, which all wharf nriv-
neses are. the size OF II Is of no in,por-
lance 10 say that this grant does not
cover all OF the water front at Galveston
docs not affect the question any more than
70 say II does not include all the water
front from Sabine Pass TO Brazos Sau-
tiago, The bill practically consolidated
all OF Huntington's railroads ana steam-
snip lines with the wharf at Galveston
and would complete his dominion by land
ana by sea without regulation. restriction
or reservation. He did not believe that
under the constitution wharf privilege
or franchise could be amalgama,ed With
railroad. The bill gives Mr.. Huntington
exclusive use and control In perpetuity
OF water front that by law and by the
decisions OF all the courts can no, In
granted by the State, because Il belongs
70 the general public and the free use OF
y Is held in trust by the state and can
not be taken away by legislative act. no
matter u Mr.. Huntington does own the
title to the land, although It is the opin-
ron OF tne attorney general and other able
LAWYERS that he does not have the title.
The amendment and substitute simply
sought TO require Mr.. Huntington TO al
low the public to use the wharf under
reasonable regulation. They say that II
we subject him to this restriction he does
not want the grant. When Mr. Hunting
ton or any other magnate and monopolist
comes to this legislature asking public
privileges and proposes to dictate his own
terms he for one, would refuse to sub

NE OF the bill depends on giving Hunting
ton all he asks, then 1t ought 10 die and
the sooner the better.
Additional speeches were made by
Messrs. Nolan, Childs and Philips in sup
port OF the bill and by Messrs Staples and
Childers in opposition to 1t.

New Jersey Corporation VIII Inquire Into
Texas Methods.
Big COMPRESS COMBINE A TANGIBLE FACT.
Charter Was Submitted to the Attor-
ncy General, but Was Not Filed
with Secretary of state.

vice president Of the Eureka Banana and

sey corporation with the omnibus charter.
which is seeking to do business In Texas.
will be here tomorrow to see the attorney
general and secretary OF state and asccr-
tain why IL is that question has boon
raised as to its right to set up shop In
this State.
In view OF the fact that the omnihss
charter referred to Ia copy OF which was
recently printed In these dispatches) dis
closes that the Eureka concern is close
corporation and that it's books are open
TO no one-not even It's stocSholders---and
In view OF the further fact that its al
rectors may dispose OF and wind up It's
afialrs at their own sweet will and With
out the consent of the stockholders, It is
more than likely that Mr.. Fiske will find
II hard TO convince Mr.. Smith or Mr..
Hardy that IL is such an OUTFIT as the con-
Etitution and the statutes contemplate

1t may sec fiji. but said charter was neither
approved nor tlled and the gentleman hnv-
ing Il in charge returned TO Fort Worth to
consult with his principals about 1t. Under
the terms of this charter the corporation
created thereby could easily obtain control

Senator Quay's Chances.

The third section of the first article
of the constitution of the United States
is the one which provides for the filling
of vacancies in the United States sem
ate. That section. which applies to APP
pointments by governors of states to fill
vacancies, reads as follows:
"And if vacancies happen Tin the
senate) by resignation or otherwise dur
ing the recess of a legislature of state
the executive thereof may make tenn
porary appointment until the next
meeting of the Legislature, which shall
then fill such vacancies.
The friends of Senator Quay hold that
there il sufficient uncertainty in this
language of the constitution to Justify
well grounded conviction that a
strongly Republican senate will con-
strue il in his favor and give him the
seat TO which Governor Stone has APP
pointed him. The cases in which the
senate has taken a contrary view were
decided upon partisan grounds and
against appointees who would have been
with the minority. The senate, how
ever. is stickler for precedent and,
having clearly established the one that
governors cannot appoint where legisla-
lures fail to elect. it may conclude to
stand pat on its record in this particu-

Especial Correspondence

Especial Correspondence
Official objections 10 married men in
the enlisted force of the army have been
renewed by the war department in an
order sent ont to recruiting officers and
regimental and other commanding off,
GERS. There always has been a natural
objection to this, for the reason that
the accommodations at military posts
do not admit Of many families Another
reason is found in the fact that men
make better fighters and can be ordered
here and there easier when they are
free of family responsibilities.
There is now better reason than ever
before to limit the enlistments to I'M
married men with the constant changes
being mace in stations Of troops and
the hard work in the field which many
of the commands will be called on 10
perform The new regulation on this
subject says:
THE enlistment or re-enlistment Of
married men for the army is to be dis
couraged and will be permitted only
for some good reason in the public in

such enlistments or re-enlistments will
be finally determined by the regimental

for the grand peace jubilee. The jubilee
is to be a sort of cross between an in
dustrial day parade, Mardi Gras and a
Yelled Prophet demonstration. Colonel

been roaming through the west getting
points from managers OF the great cele-
brations which have been held in the
past in New Orleans, st. Louis, San
Francisco and other cities The Wash
ington peace jubilee is under strictly
local management, although it is going
TO be an ambitious affair Enormous
crowds from the outside are expected to
witness the three days pageant. If ex-
pectations on that point are realized the
thrifty District shopkeepers who are
footing the bills will get their money
back
