ulc Time,

The bad weather which has prevailed
since Saturday is responsible to a very
large degree for the comparatively small
amount of passenger business through
Houston to Galveston on account of the
presence of the battleship Texas. The
largest crowd brought in by the Houston
and Texas Central was on Monday night,
when 100 people from points along the
line were handled. Yesterday morning s
train brought in a somewhat smaller num-
ber but last night the southbound Central
carried but ten passengers bound for the
Island City.
Since the weather has begun to moder-
ate an Improvement is noticeable in the
train service on all the roads, The only
Southern Pacific train which was delayed
to any extent was No. 10. All OF the other
roads are running practically on schedule
time and the telegraph service OF the va
rious local lines is also greatly improved,

STRIKE IN TERRITORY.
Coal Miners Arc Out and More VIII
Probably Go shortly.


Probably Go shortly
Fort Smith, Ark, February 14,-oniy
1850 miners are at present on strike in
the Choctaw. Oklahoma and Gulf mines
in the Indian Territory, but the prospects
are that general strike in all the mines
in Arkansas and the Indian Territory will
be declared in q few days. The situation
is critical and the result hinges on the
result of tomorrow's conference between
miners and operators here. Should the
operators refuse to concede the demands
OF the miners, every district will be closed.
The trouble began last Thursday, when a
number OF men were discharged at HANS
horn. Seven hundred men went out there
and about GOO have since gone out at Will
burton. The miners primarily demanded
only the reinstatement of the discharged
men, but they now want other conces-
sions The company threatens to import
men to replace the strikers, and an at
tempt TO carry out that threat will result
in serious trouble.
