DUBUQUE, Ia, Oct. 16.-The citizens Of

pour of rain. The president said in part:
This is a year of sublime patriotism.
From one end of your state to the other,
through all sections of the west, over which
we have travelled, we have heard but one
music, the music of the nation, but one
song, the hymn of the republic. We have
seen but one flag, the flag of our fathers,
and the flag Of happy, reunited, never to-
be broken nation; a flag that expresses our
hopes, our purposes and our faith, flag
that expresses the sacrifices we are will
ing to make for it anywhere and every
where.
II have come today, my fellow citizens,
not only to greet you all, but to make pub
lie acknow wledgment in this city Of the pa
triotism of the people of Iowa. You not
only served and sacrificed for the nation in
the great civil war, giving up many of the
best young men of the state on the altar
OF country that the nation might be pre-
served, but in the war with Spain thle
state almost the first of the federal union
| answered to the call OF the government.

A. S. Hay, NEW CONSUL
AT PRETORIA.

Adelbert s. Hay; who succeeds
Consul Macrum at Pretoria, is the
son of Secretary Of State Hay. and
is said to be young man of ex-
einplary character and proved
ability. The consulship at Pretoria
Is something of a diplomatic post
Just now, or, to speak more ac-
curately,- requires something of
diplomatic ability in the man who
holds it. Mr.. Macrum has been
thought capable in that line, bus
his personal desires hinder him
from continuing in the Office.
Young Mr.. Hay is no stranger in
usages. He got the
courtly favor as a member of the
family of Col. Hay when that
gentleman was ambassador to Lon
don-the most desirable embassy
on the list.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 10
Representative Kleberg, who is
watching closely for opportunities
to introduce bills for harbor i'm
p-ovements in his district, has
ABOUT aespaired of securing con-
siderations for that kind of legis-
Iation at this session. He does not
believe that tie Republicans will
consent to the passage of q generst
river and harbor bill this winter
for the obviouS reason that they
want to keep appropriations as
low as possible on the eve of a
Presidential ele ;tion.
Representative Henry introdue-
ell a couple of drastic antitrust
bills today, neither Que of which
VIII probably get out OF the com
Tittee. One is a regular antitrust
bill, patterned as nearly as pos
sible- after the Texas law; the
other is designed to change the
present requisition laws SO that an
Indictment found by the courts of
the State making the requisition
for, an alleged fugitive shall be
accepted by the State upon which
the requisition issmace as conclu-
Etve proof that the person wanted
is fugitive from justice and that
Snch requisition shall be bonorsd.
The purpose of the bill is to
overcome the difficulties encounter
ed by Mr.. Henry while Assistant
Attorney General of Texas in not

TRE Alice Echo thinks that the
proposed suspension of the Morgan
steamship service between Morgan
city and Brownsville is = sn5ter-
fuge on the part of the Southern
Pacific corporation, to feel the
pulse of Brownsville people and see
If they are very badly of for n
rzifroal, and to what extent in
dollars and cents. "Thsn," says
the Echo, "if the people want
the road bad enough, it will be
extended from Alice to Browns
Vile: It is folly to presume the
Southern Pacific will permit any
other railroad to bHiId to Browns
vile when that system is in a posi-
tion. 70 extend its own line so cas-
lily and quickly" If the Echo is
correct, it Is to be hoped that Dr.
Huntington may hurry up and
diagnose the ease. Brownsville
people surely do want q railroad
tie worst sort, and will put up as
much ss they possibly can raise to
get one.

During the Confederate war light
.Iraftschooners loaded cotton at the
plantations On old Caney. They
passed down and ont through the
canal to Matagorda bays thence to
SaIuria, thence to Flower Bluff on
iCorpHs Christi bay. These schoon-
ers drew about three feet, aud we're
met at Flower Bluff by scows or
sehooners of less draft which pass
ed into the Laguna Msdre to a
point south OF Bafius or AlazaD
bay, discharged their cargoes and
loaded back with salt made IN the
Laguna Madre by solar evapora-
ton. The cotton was hauled to
Brownsville on OK carts, crossed
to Matamoros; shipped in neutral
bottoms to freight ships anchored
off the Rio Grande. In 1885 dug
outs were cut in the bays between
Arkansas aHd Matagorda bays,
which made it possible to navigate
this inland channel.
The proposed measarei intro
ducsd by Mr.. Kleberg in congress,
to enlarge this inland channel is
of great significance and value to
Texas. 1t means when this channel
is opened to four feet continuously
to the Bio Grande that steam tugs
and barges of light draft will load
at the head Of navigation on the
Trinity river and Buffalo bayou
with lumber, which could be land
ed at Roma on the Rio Grande
without rehandling, where an i'm
mense market awaits it, at cheaper
prices for the people on both banks
of the river, and cheaper lumber
for a large portion of northern
Mexico. It means these barges
would load with east Texas rice,
sugar and general merchandise at
Houston and Galveston, and be
delivered almost at the doors of
the great ranches in southwest Tex
as, and load back with Laguna
Madre salt, cattle, horses. sheep, |
fruits and early vegetables at a
freight rate not now attainable.
As there can be 90 possible con-
fict Of interests, or local jeal-
ousies, il is apparent the rePresen-
tativss now in Washington, IN
the house and senate, from Texas
will make a common cause 10 all
this important measure without
regard TO previous conditions or
and aet as unis to secure
TIE money from the United States

which when completed will add sol
