Yesterday was not such day as the
local committee might have selected, had
they been permitted TO choose the char
acter OF weather with which to usher in
the eleventh annual meeting OF the Trans
mississippi Commercial Congress-
1t was damp and gloomy, with heavy
mist falling most OF tho day. through
which the rays OF the sun would now and
then radiate, as though "old Sop' was in
sympathy with the occasion and was
struggling hard to give Houston a bet
ter sample OF weather than she usually
has tho good fortune TO enjoy upon occa-
sions when she desires 1t most.
The day closed. however. with brighten
ing skies. and all retired last night hop
ing that today will break bright and
clear.
The delegates to the Transmississippi
Congress, that distinguished body OF
prominent and leading men OF the West
who have the industrial development OF
their section for their individual as well as
their collective purpose, commenced to ar
rive yesterday morning. The first dele
cations to reach Houston was that from
Utah and part OF that from Colorado.
The delegates from Utah Joined those
from Colorado at the starting point In
that State, and all left for their trip
South Saturday morning. With the ex-
ception OF two slight accidents to their
train---one in Colorado and the other in
North Texas-the journey was a yeHy
pleasant and uneyentful one
When this delegation left Colorado last
Saturday there was fully eighteen inches
OF snow on the ground, and they Were
somewhat surprised to find the weather
so warm and pleasant down here, with
flowers and green foliage on all sides.
Such is the fact, however, and the visitors
do not seem dspleased on account of 1t.
While not having had time to see much
OF Houston and study her methods and
aequaint themselves with her fine pros
poets and great possibilities each and
every visitor asked for an expression OF
opinion on the city formed from their first
