GOV. SAVERS SUMS UP THE TEXAS FLOOD
 SITUATION.
DEATHS LESS THAN SO.
Loss to Property, Both Railroad and Farming, and Crops of the State
 Will be Very Heavy.

Austin, Texas, July 9.-Gov. Savers stated tonight to an Asso- cjated Press correspondent that lodging from all the reports he had received officially from the flood district, that ttere had been great loss of property, toth personal and corporate; that hundreds of peop.e had been oereft of their homes and belongings, and that at present there were in the neighborhood of 45. .000 people, the majority Of them being negroes, who were depending entirely upon public charity for sustenaree. The suffering Of water bound fugitiyes has been very great. The governor figures the reports out to show that the loss of If. has been comparatively small, not ex ceeding fifty. The loss of property, however, has been very great. From reports at his disposal, it is evident tbat the loss to property, both rail- road nd farming, and 10 the crops of the Satte will be great, and it is impossible to estimate it at present. The heayies: farming losses will fall upon the owners ot the big planta- tions in the bottom, who have lost all their crops and much of their physical property, and are not being protected in the distribution of charity, which is being expended only among the poor. Up to to. night Gov, Savers has received $30, GOO in the way of money contri- buttons from this State and from those charitably disposed in the East. In addition thereto, he has sent out several carloads Of groceries which have been made up by differ ent cities of the States. The situa- ton is being well handled now, everything having gotten down to military precision, ard tbe governor stated tonight that by tomorrow every hungry mouth in Texas would be looked after fl possible. Tn e supplies have been well distributed over the food-stricken district. A litt.e delay was attendant upon doing this, tut it has been done at at last, and it is now believed that the worst is over.
 The rivers are subsiding, and Coy. Savers is confident that he will be able to care for the poor of the State for at least a week, after which time they can secure plenty of employment in the food wrecked valley.

4 COMMUNICATION
From g Jefferson County Taxpayer
 to the Graphic

To the Graphic:
 The effort on the part of the Flee tric Light and Electric Street Car peor le to separate the two fran. chises is scented as scheme to saddle upon our city an extraya gant light contract at extravagant prices and an extraordinary length of time. We hope that our city couA- cil will stand "pat" aud insist that the two contracts remain coupled as the ordinance now provides.
 There is no reason that a long term light contract should be given by the city at the price named in the ordinance and such contract can only be excused on the grounds of inducement to the building, operating and main taining an elee- trc street car line.
 If the public is to be tied up for period of twenty years, then tie the other fellows for the same period to operate an electric street car line. Stand Pat, City Fathers.
 Taxpayer.

OF CONGRESS IS BEING TALKED OF BY THE
 POLITICIANS
GEN. HENDERSON TALKS.
Says That the President Had Been Considering the Subject but
 Reached No Conclusion.

Washington, July 3 9-There Is again talk of an extra session. Gen. Henderson, when here last Thursday said. however, that he did not know whether ore would be called or not. The president had considered it, he said, but whether he had reached any conclusion, neither he nor any one else could tell.
 There Is no great demand for an extra session in the presidents opin ion, but there may b5 wisdom in calling It. II he decides to call it it will be solely with the Idea of reliev- ing the regular session of some of the great work which will come before it. The president is very anxious to get Hawaii and Porto Rico on some permanent system, as he thinks 1t Is demorahzing to have them continue in the haphazard way they are being governed now. The business inter- ests of Porto Rico is in very unset tied condition on account0 of the tenn po-ary character of the laws gov erning it. He does not think there is any necessity far an extra session on account Of any conditions in the 1 Philjppines, for he has perfect confi- dence that the trouble out there is working itself out satisfactorily. But unless congress is called togeth- CT before next December and some work done on matters of legislation which are imperative, the regular session will ru1 through the entire summer of 1900. thing very much to be avoided in his opinion. More over, be thinks legislative discussi on is greatly hampered by the excite ment of an appr Jaeb:ng presidential campaign.

MRS. eoTkIN GUILTY.
The Jury Brings In u Verdict In the Long
Distance Poisoning Casa Motion
for New Trial.

San Francisco, Jan. Mfrs. Bot
kin's lawyers do not propose to accept
as final the verdict of the jury finding
her guilty of the murder of Mrs. Dun
ming without making a strong effort
to obtain a new trial and possible re
versal of the Judgment George A.
Knight, leading attorney for the de
tense, says:
Our first step will be to move for new trial
on the day set for passing sentence, or as soon
thereafter as we can be heard II the new
trial is denied OF course shall go to the SUI
preme court and at the same time we shall
raise the question of jurisdiction. This court
never had and never can get Jurisdiction to try
Mrs Botkin 1t is plain question OF law and
have not the slightest douot OF the supreme
courts decision on that point
After her arrival at the branch coun
ty Jail, Mrs. Botkin broke down CON-
pletely and for some time gave vent to
her anguish in sobbing and occasion al
shrieking. 1t is stated that the first
ballot stood ten for hanging and two
for life imprisonment The second
ballot was IL for hanging and only one
for life imprisonment But the one
stood firm and after much discussion
the other IL went over to him
