OUT OF DIXIE.

AUSTIN, Tex, May 4.-The Presi-
dents reception in the Lone Star State
was continuation of the ovation he
had received throughout the South.
Every honor was shown him and his
party and there was much enthusiasm.
Austin, the capital, was reached at 4: 80
P. NJ. There were some interesting
features in the reception at Houston
and very picturesque scene at Prairie
View, where the President addressed
the colored students Of the State nor
NAL school on stand erected on the
open prairie at the side of the track.
he advised the colored people to learn
to do one thing well.
The arrival of the train at Houston
was heralded by volley from q bat
terry on the bank of the Buffalo Bayou.
All business had been suspended in
Houston, and the surrounding country
seemed to have emptied itself into the
city. An elaborate programme was
crowded into less than two hoars. The
Houston Light Guards, the crack mill
tarY company of Texas, which acted as
guard of honor for Jefferson Davis on
his visit here in 1875, and a company
of cowboy rangers, escorted the party
in carriages through the decorated city.
AT the conclusion of the speeches a
touching incident occurred. A feeble
old lady came forward and presented
Mr.. Mckinley with small silk flag of
the Lone Star State. She was the widow
OF Arson Jones, the last president of
the Republic of Texas. The wood of
the staff was from the old capitol build
ing at Columbia. The party is today
travelling through the heart of the great
Southwest.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, May 4.-The
Presidential train arrived at LIS A. NJ,
and was sidetracked immediately after
its arrival. Members OF the party were
surprised to hear, shortly before the
trains departure from Austin last
night, that report was sent out from
New Orleans to the effect that Mrs.
Mckinley was breaking down and that
she tainted aboard the steamer City of
st. Louis.

Senator Dillingham;.

In the course of q private letter to
the editor of the DAILY JOURNAL,
touching on various matters, a gentle
man who spends much of his time in
Washington, who is we'll acquainted
with public men and familiar with pub
lie affairs, writes of Senator Dillingham;
in these words:
The new Senator is all right. He
made fine impression during his in
itial session. 1t was noted, too, by the
correspondents, whose business it is to

nifty, the proper degree of modesty, and
took that interest in his new duties
which gave promise that he would be,

as a fact that every Senator or repre-
sentative Is fated "to come cropper,"

The Constitution, one of the boats

The launching was in the darkness of

Fishing for GudgeOns.

Well-regulated offices are fattening
their waste baskets on the printed mat
ter relating to oil, gold, silver, mica,

tons or solicitations of investments
the daily mail is bringing. The fish
ermen who are dropping these baited
hooks into the streams of business life
are still reckoning on the usual per-
centage of gudgeons swimming there
and probably find them-or they would
not be spending time and money in
bobbing for them.
The post-ofiice department, it is re-
ported, is after some of the alleged oil
companies, which are flooding the
mails with alluringly-worded circular
letters, promising all sorts of extrava-
CANT profits on money invested in the
stock of alleged companies. To find
the evidence to warrant issuing fraud
order against this class of schemes is
difficult and slow, but the postal in
spectors can find it. Meanwhile, those
who have money to invest would better
be very careful about how they put it
into oil schemes conducted by men
who are strangers to them.
A scheme that is being advertised in
this country is thus exposed in report

find them or to find any person who

is any Gold Mining Company, of Apia'
Gas reported in United States papers),
the records do not disclose the fact, and
the officials have no information on the
subject. No steamers, schooners, or
other vessels are engaged in transport
ing sand or oars to Sydney or to San
Francisco, or elsewhere; no such per-
sons as those named as constituting the
gold mining company are known here,
and, in my judgment, a tremendous
swindle is being perpetrated, and THE
public ought to know the facts"

Senator Proctor, chairman of the

FIRE AT JACKSONVILLE.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, May. 4.-This
city experienced Friday afternoon the
most disastrous fire in its history. The
buildings on the entire length of Bea-
yer street from Davis to the Greek on
Liberty street have been totally des-
troyed. This includes fourteen solid
blocks of residences. For the same
distance Ashley and Church streets
have been completely blotted out.
The local military companies were
called out to keep back, the crowds and
the fire department began to use dyna-
mite 10 blow up the houses a block
away and thus prevent the fire from
spreading. So fierce was the blaze,
however, and so strong had become the
wind that millions of sparks and flying
burning shingles spread over five or six
blocks, setting the roofs of the houses
on fire. First Senator Taliiferro's res
idence and then the adjoining houses
on that block were ablaze. Desperate
efforts were made to save the Windsor
and the st. James hotels, but both
houses were quickly enveloped in
flames. For about an hour the guests
in the Windsor had been busily packing
their trunks and went away loaded
with trunks and grips, some unfortu-
nately to the United States hotel, but
most OF them to Riverside.
The city building went, the fire de-
partment building, the armory, the
county court house, the clerks Office
with the county records, the criminal
court house, the city Jail and the grad
ed schools and the Catholic church and
orphange, st. Johns Episcopal church
and the convent. Almost the entire
city of magnificent buildings was burn
ed up in less than four hours. The
loss is conservatively estimated at
81 100000, and 10000 people are
homeless. Six lives are reported lost.
One hundred and thirty blocks were
burned.

As to Tree Planting.

The department of agriculture, divi-
sion of forestry, Washington, d. c.,
is issuing circulars on the subject Of
tree planting that ought to be of inter-
est to Vermont farmers, and if the in
terest should extend to practice this lit
erature ought to become valuable. Any
farmer desiring practical information
on the subject can obtain the printed
matter the department is issuing by
sending postal card request addressed
as above.

this subject, but a newspaper article
can do little more than point the way,
and individuals who have the interest,
the enterprise, the spirit of the times,
may follow in it to wider fields than the
