ROUND BALE nusINEss.

gentleman who is deeply concerned in
the bagging and ties business was asked
this morning how many round bales oil
cotton would be put up In Texas this sea-
san.
"No one knows or can give fair idea. Sc

selves. Just as a guess woa.d say 1,00o,-
600 round bales. That would be equal to
100000 square bales.
is the round bale a SUGGEST" he was
asked.
The round bale has come to stay" was
the reply. tits foolishness to say other
wise. In many places the round bale Sin
Is put alongside the square bale gin. That
is tho best way of finding out the merits
or dement's of the rival systems" There
are three round processes--the American
Cotton company's, the Lowrey and the
Fuller-actively competing with the square
bale people and there are some minor
round bale companies that are making
some Roadway, but the struggle is princl-
pally between the three big companies
named and the square bale crowd,
The Arm OF II. Kempner were asked
what was their estimate on the number of
round bales Texas would turn out this
season.
II don't know how much there will be
of the round bale this season." was the
reply, but there will be more this season
than ever again, for the square bale peo-
pie are getting a hump on themselves now
and they are turning out package that
there can be no kick on and that will
drive the round bale people out of the
business as serious competitor"

MEN LAID OFF.

Under a recent order from Washington
Captain Richie, IN charge OF the United
States engineering corps, has been COM
PEELED to let out large number OF men,
In fact there are only fourteen now in
the service here.
The dismissas were not for cause, and
Captain Richie had no discretion in desis-
mating the men TO be let out, The work at
this station has dwlndled TO such an ex-
tent that few employees can do all that
there is to be done.
This action indicates clearly that the va
r!ous appropriations for the Improvement
of Texas harbors and rivers made by the
last congress, have been hung up" for
some reason or other and the funds arc
not now available. All appropriations not
used by June 30 OF next year VIII revert
TO the treasury. and 1t is believed in some
sources that the Philippines have proved
such drain on the government that as
much money as possible has been held up
for use there. Certain 1t Is that there is
no work In sight either for Buffalo bayou
or the Brazos or Trinity rivers.
The order letting out the men here was
effective August ]. Only the heads OF de-
partments and the necessary clerks have
been retained. Men who held responsible
positions as superintendent and foremen
have bean dispensed with for the present,

ANXIETY ABOUT G. R. BENNETT.


In the list Of persons drowned in the ac-
cident at Bar Harbor. Maine, last Sunday
are the names OF G. r. Bennett and wife
OF Brewer. Somehow the impression has
gone out that the G. r. Bennett and wife
are Mr.. and Mrs Grant 4. Bennett for
merly OF this city.
Representative ]. S. Wheless has re-
ceived letter from e. E. Furman. who Is
employed in the custom house at Corpus
Christi, calling attention to the Bar Har-
Dor catastrophe and asking If Mr.. Wheless
can inform him whether Grant r. Bennett
was one of the victims
medical gentleman here on a visit
from Corpus Christi says the belief pre-
walls in Corpus Christi that 1t was Cap
tain Bennett who was drowned.
Mr.. Wheless, who was formerly law
partner OF Mr.. Benefits snid this morn
ing that the last time he heard directly
from MIR. Bennett was last fall. The letter
was dated Chicago. At that time Mr..
Bennett was in very bad health and hts
physicians had ordered him to do no bust
ness.
II have answered Mr.. Furman's letter"
said Mr. Wheless. but am not in posi-
tion TO give any information TO him.
understand letter was received from Mr.,
Bennett a few weeks ago In which ne said
his health and his wife's health had great
and that they did not expect to return to
Galveston.
Il think Mr.. Bennett had some relatives
is Maine. He and were IN the law busi-
ness together, but OF course | didn't in
qu!re about his personal affairs. He came
here about three years ago from Corpus
Christi. whore he had been pracuctRg law
several years. In the campaign Of 1896 he
stumped the Eleventh congressional dis
trlct in advocacy Of the gold standard. BE-
fore coming 10 Texas he had been prac-
ticlng law in st. joe Mo. He was, think,
a native of Pennsylvania.
when the trouble with Spain came on
Mr.. Bennett was active in the organization
of the Galveston immune regiment and
was elected a captain. He became III in
New Orleans, contracted malaria, l think
It was, aud his wife. too. He went 10
Chicago and there was under special treat
ment. He was about 3S or 40 years old, a
graduate of Princeton university and of
fine literary attainments, brtAht and
clever"
Some OF Mr.. BENEFITS friends have
started an inquiry that will soon prove
whether it was Grant r. Bennett or some
other Bennett of the same initials who
was drowned at Bar Harbor last Sunday.
