to-day President Logan made an ad-
dress on "'rhc Limitation of Inhcrit-
ances," in which he advocated $10,-
COoOGO statutory limitation on Inherit

vocating it the following:
Il. There is at the present day no
good purpose TO he served by giving n
man power to transmit more than $10,-

Seaport of tho South.

1t has long been evident that the
rapidly increasing movement of grain
and merchandise towards the south
ern seaboard would demand an in
crease of shipping facilities on the
Mexican Gulf. The most promising
seaport city is La Porte. at the head OF
Galveston Bay. Peculiar natural ad-
vantages surround LaPorte, notably its
being the fartherest inland seaport on
the Gulf, having high dry land with
perfect drainage and the purest arte-
sian water, climate unsurpassed in
the south and an attractive city site.

The cnttlemen contend that the sheep
kill out the pastures and that it is not
really II contest between sheepmen and
themselves, but Il question of presery-
ing the ranges by judicious grazing or
pasturing them out so that they become
desolate deserts. To prevent this, the
lease law is advocated.
1t is opposed. because il is regarded
by some MS jcopardizing the rights of
homcsteaders. During the debate, E.
A. Harris of Colorado raised breeze
by defending his statements wherein
he asserted that the homesteaders in
Colorado. for whom he spoke. were
honest cattle farmers. not general ag-
riculturists, and he was not going to
have his honest motives impugned by
demagogues. Tie debate drew out to
such n great length that members. in
great impatiencc, howled down those
who attempted to speak towards the
end.
Finally, after reading the original
resolution and II substitute several
times, the association voted on the sub
stitutc of Mr.. Macliay, of Wyoming,
that the public grazing lands be not
leased.
The vote was 227. nays, 32S. so the
substitute WAS lost. The resolution
WIS then adopted.
The protest offered by Roberts OF
Texas against Il change by the railway
companies from carload rates to 100
pound rates. was adopted.
