REBUKE TO SAVERS.
Texas Railroad Commission Resents
 His Suggestions.

Dallas. Texas, July 25.-There is ap- parently a serious rupture on between Governor Savers and the Railroad Com mission. A few weeks ago the Cover nor addressed a letter to the Commls- sion saying he desired to use fuel oil in the State institutions and asked the Commission to call a hearing to reduce rates. Later he made a speech in which he referred to the matter. To- day the committee published an ad- dress to the public in which they claim that the rates on oil in Texas are lower than those in effect elsewhere. and say that the railroads are entitled to make Q profit. They say:
 He (the Governor) should not for get this Commission was provided for by the State Constitution just as the offics of Governor and the Supreme Court are as an important department of the tate Government"
 They intimate that the Governor has violated the proprieties and say they are not responsible to any other De- partment of the State Government for the manner in which they perform their duties.

THE IRON MARKET.
Prices are Firm in All Branches of
 the Trade.


 New York. July 25.-The Iron Age, in it's issue today, says:
 The strike in the rolling mills has not developed any special features dur ing the week, and the feeling in the trade is that the power of the Amalga- mated Association has been generally overrated. From high source comes the statement that the United States Steel Corporation will wait until it's men in non n-union mills get ready to go to work. then plant after plant will be opened, which does not seem likely for some weeks.
 The decline in the product of the finishing mills will soon lead to the closing down of some of the steel plants. The longer this condition lasts, the greater will be the necessity for merchant furnaces who sell to the United States Steel Corporation to look for an outlet in other directions.
 The Ohio Steel Company's plant at Youngstown has beerI put on steel rails. so that it can take up the work of South Chicago should any trouble arise there. This, of course reduces the billet supply. The short of sheets and tin plate has already made itself felt and jobbers' stocks are being drawn on heavily all over the country, a premium being secured.
 "There is a decidedly firmer selling in iron bars, and the recent weakness in steel bars has disappeared Sta tistically. the pig iron situation con- tinutes favorable, bu there is a feeling of uncertainty and weakness cropping up in different places.
 "As yet, all branches of the iron in- dustry continue exceedingly well ern- ployed, and while occasionally slight weakness developes locally. prices con- tinue firm"

Koch,s Theory Discussed.

Berlin, July 25.-Professor Koch's statement of his discovery regarding tuberculosis as made before the Con gress now in session in London has been received here with some skepti- cism among physicians. Before the reg ulsr proceedings of the Berlin Medical Society began today the members dis cussed Professor Koch's address in formally. dwelling upon the fact that his present conclusion is diametrically opposite to hls former position. Several theory was asserted by him with as much decisiveness as the old. In the course of the session. Professor Fir- chow referred to Professor Koch's ad- dress in the following terms :"Nothing remains for me but to maintain more positively than ever my view that the decisive thing in tuberculosis is the tuberculosis center, which Is the path ological mark of tuberculosis and not the bacillus as such"

TUBERCULOSIS MEETING
EXPERTS DISSENT FROM DIR
 KoCH'S THEORY.
Professor McFadrien Reads Paper on Bacilli in Milk as c Source of Tuberculosis in
 Man.

London, July 25.-Presiding at this af- ternoon's session of the British Con- gress on Tuberculosis. Earl Spencer Chancellor of the Victoria University. and a Vice President of the Congressl severely criticised Dr. Robert Koch's theory to the effect that human be- ines were immune from contagion from tuberculosis-affected cattle. Earl Spen- cer said he hoped this was trues but that he hoped more that the dissems ination of such views would not tend to laxity on the part of the laymen and cattle owners, or less vigilance by the authorities charged with protecting the consumers of milk.
 Professor McFadrien of the Royal Veterinary College, in paper on bac- illi in milk as a source of tuberculosis in man, discussed the grounds upon which Dr. Koch based his belief, con- tending that they were either not well founded or had little bearing upon the question, and he submitted arguments to prove the strongest grounds remain cd for regarding milk from tuberculo- sis-affected cattle as distinctly danger ous to human beings.
 Dr. Ravenel of Philadelphia gave an instance of the infection of ten per- sons from tuberculosis-a affected cattle, but said he considered such instances to be rare.
 James King, a veterinary inspector of London. attributed the large increase in the imported meat trade to the rigid inspection of home killed cattle, and said a meat salesman assured him that the losses from condemned carcasses were so great that the British dealers were forced to buy imported meat. MT. King dissented fiatly from Dr. Koch's belief in the non-transmission of bo- vine tuberculosis to human beings, and urged the adoption of stringent meas ures in this respect. to insure the healthfulness of imported carcasses. He also urged government compensation for cattle destroyed under its direction fin order to thoroughly stamp out tu- berculosis from British herds. where. he declared, it was alarmingly preva- lent

ARMED MOB WAS FORMED
Citizens Determined to Pre-
 vent Importation of Men.
Manager of the Latrobe Company Came to the Conclusion to Re- turn the Laborers to
 Their Homes.

Chicago, July 25.-General Manager Aertzen, of the Latrobe Steel and Coupler Works, at Melrose Park, gave out a statement this evening declaring that the company has abandoned the effort to bring the colored laborers to Melrose Park. and that they will De sent back to their homes in Alabama
 All day the 300 colored men sat in their cars at La Grange, twenty miles from Chicago, in fear. A committee of five citizens of Melrose Park called on them during the morning and used their best endeavors to induce the men to return to Alabama. They informed the colored men of the actual state of affairs in Melrose Park. where 300 arm ed men were awaiting the arrival of their train, determined that the colored men should not be allowed to alight in the village. Their statements alarmed the colored men more than ever. and finally five of them stepped off the train and made their way into Chicago, where they sought an interview with Chief of Police O'Neil. asking protec- tion. which he could not give, as the trouble was not within the city limits.
 After the five men had left the train to come to Chicago the fears of those left on the train increased greatly, ard it was with great difficulty that the trainmen managed to keep them from running off in a panic. Nearly ell the colored men declared they would Tot go to Melrose Park. and that If taken there on the train they would refuse to get off. At 2 o'clock Marshal Rau of the town of La Grange ordered the train bearing the colored men to move out of the village. It did so and was placed on a siding at Salt Creek, two miles north of La Grange.
 In the meantime attorneys for the Steel Company called upon Sheriff Magerstadt and asked that the com pany be given ample protection against the mob violence which was threat ened. They stated positively that the laborers would be landed in the shops of the company late this afternoon. whether the sheriff furnished any aid or not.
 q have just received telegram from Adjutant General Reece offering me the aid of the State militia if needed 1t, |" said Sheriff Magerstadt, after his con- ference with the attorneys, but I will not need 1t. I have sent half a dozen men to Melrose Park this afternoon simply to make a report to me on the conditions there. If they say that a mob of 300 armed men are patrolling the streets as the officials of the com pany inform me. I will swear in a number of deputies and will preserve the peace at ali hazards. However. I am not going to call upon the militia. as the county Is capable of preserving the peace whatever happens"
 At Melrose Park the armed citizens remained on watch until assured the negroes were not coming, when they dispersed.

ment against the plan of the majority. He said that what was done by the Conventio would affect our children a hundred years from now. The eyes of the world are upon us and 1t is a warning to go slow and deliberately and be sure that the best and wisest plan is adopted. It is the purpose of all to strike down suffrage of the black race and uphold suffrage for the white race and he did not believe any dele- gate wanted to violate the Federal Con- stitution. He believed "the grandfath- err clause would violate the plan and he opposed 1t. The time of Governor Jones was extended. but he was so ex- hausted he could not stand on his feet longer
 President Knox of Calhoun was about to take the floor. but 1t was about ten minutes of the hour of adjournment and Governor Jones said he did not de- sire to cut off his speech this way. He moved to adjourn until tomorrow. the gentleman from Calhoun having the floor the first thing in the morning, which was adopted.

The flames started this afternoon in a big pile of kindling wood belonging to the Rock Island Fuel Company on the ievee.

McCalla. remember having commu- nicated the sienal code to every nieni- Der of the fleet The signal arrange ment was to be made known to the reb- els on shore at Cienfuegos 10 ccmmu- nicate with Admiral Schley. have every reason to believe that the signals were so communicated. Of course. schley may have misunderstood them. I had not the slightest desire to rob a brother oficer of the chances of vic- tory. and I always treated Schley with all due professional and personal cclr- tesy. I certainly had no desire to keep engagement that had been planned off Cienfuegos.
 Admiral Sampson spoke win a full heart as he walked slowly and with an unmistakably feeble step through one of the paths 1t the Charleston navy yard. His face was pale and drawn as of a man in the clutches of a wasting disease, and 1t was with a shrug of pitiful weariness that he continued:
 "The only defense that my enemies can have for the attacks upon me is their unsuitable malice.
 Rear Admiral Evans Is quoted as saying that had Schley Known the sig nal code he could have got away tnirty-SiX u0ufS eafneT. l SnOulQ say that 1t would have taken Schley about that length of time to get away
 Here the Admiral's voice strength ened as he spoke up:
 "All was wrong with Schley from the first moment that he had anything to do with the Naval Department that ended in the annihilation of the Span ish fleet off santiago. Yes. from the very beginning. There never was a real misunderstanding of the orders It Is only part of a general plan. A misunderstanding there never was and never could have been. I know that the rebels did not fail to carry out their orders to communicate by code to Schiey. Any plea that Schley did not receive the code cannot be taken seriously. The only absolute way to obtain final and official ruling upon this and Kindred contentious by my enemies is for Admiral Schley to de- many court Of inquiry which would be in a position to have access to all the evidence and which will conse- quently be in a position to deliver a final judgment.
