The Sheriffs.

The killing Of two Of the most
popular sheriff. of south Texas,
Sheriff Morris, of Karnes county
and Sheriff r. NJ. Glover, of Con
zales county within three days by
q Mexican horse thief. came upon
the country with startling effect.
Both of the sheriffs were brave and
fearless men, which WAS mainly
the cause of their sudden taking
off. The killing was somewhat sim
liar in both cases. The sheriff.,
each accom- panied by several depu-
ties, approached the houses occu-
pied by the Mexicans and were at
once fired upon with fatal effect,
In the case of Sheriff Glover. a
Mr.. Schnaehel. the owner of the
farm on which the Mexicane were
tenants, was also killed. 1t is re-
ported he was shot by one of the
Mexican women. Seven of the
Mexicans were captured and put in
the Gonzales Jail, but the two prin-
cipals escaped. A posse of one
hundred armed men was ct once
organized and took The trail of tue
murderers.
Gonzales is fully aroused and the
excitment is at high pitch and
the murderers will meet with a
short shrift when captured. which
they are sure to be.

de Janefro. Escaped.
SAN FRANCISCO, February 24.---J.
G. Holland, third officer of the Rio De
Janeiro, who on the day of the wreck
was among the missing, has reported.
tt the surprise and delight of his
friends, unframed. Ut is not known
how he came to be numbered with the
dead, further than that after the boat
sank he did not report his escape to
any of the officers Of the steamship
company. He was on the wharf and
along the beach when the disaster oc-
Cured. But his presence was not
noted. After the Rio struck upon the
reef, Holland assisted Captain Ward
in getting the passengers into the life
boats. He and the captain walked aft
together on the starboard side, and
just as they reached the saloon the
beat gave a lurch and disappeared be-
meath the water. Holland was car
ried down by the suction, but managed
to get hold of a life preServer. which
assisted him to rise to the surface, but
not until he had been almost strangled
by the salt water. Being an expert
swimmer, he succeeded in keeping
afioat until picked up by an Italian
fisherman. Holland has relatives re-
siding in New York.

THE UNITED STATES
Now Stands at the Head of Exporting
Business.

Special to the Register.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., February "a
The United States now stands at the head
of the worlds exporting nations. The
complete figures for the calendar year
1900 when compared with those of other
nations. show that our exports of domes-
tic products are greater than those of n
other country. The total exports of do
nestle merchandise from the United States
in the calendar year 1890 were 81, 453, Ol3 ,6os.
those of the United Kingdom. which has
heretofore led in the race for this distinc-
ton, were 81. AIS, 34s, 600, and those from
Germany, 81, 050, Gil 600.
Additional interest is given to the first
rank which the United States now holds
as an exporting nation by the fact that q
quarter of a century ago she stood fourth
in that list. In 1875 the domestic export
of the United States were $49I 263, 49,; those
of Germany, 1907 COG, 600; those of France,
$747, 1879, COO; and those of the United King
dom, $1,0S7 497 900. To-day the United
States stands at the head of the list, the
United Kingdom second, Germany third,
and France fourth. Thus in the quarter
century the United States has increased
her exports from s497, 263. 1871 to 81. 453,0 13,-
$50, or 1929 per cent. Germany from $780,
$685. 900 TO Sl.0JG,6 GIL 900. or % per cent; the
United Kingdom from 81. 0S7, 497 eco to 81
AIS, $4,000, or "a per cent. and France from
STAT, 4S9, 600 to $7S7. 060, 0e0, or S per cent.

PEKIN, Feb. 24.-The full text Of the
imperial edict regarding punishments
were sent last evening to the minis
tiers Of the powers. 1t is identical with
the unofficial report of the context of
the contents of the edict cabled to the
Associated Press. The ministers say
that there is a little confusion with
reference to strangulation and suicide,
but this is not important.
Ii Hung Chang received a bulletin
announcing the sentences which could
be best carried into effect by the board
of punishment, and he requested the
Japanese to deliver Ying Ninen and
Chao Shu Chiao in order that the sem
fences in their cases might be executed
to-day in conformity with the ediet;
but the Japanese considered the notice
too short and have delayed the en-
forcement of the penalties until Tues
day in order that the ministers of the
powers might send representatives as
they desire. 1t is also intended to
guard the men at the place of execu-
ton, SO as to prevent suicide or
escape.
When official confirmation, duly con-
firmed by high officers of State, of the
sentences of death upon the others
shall have been received. and these too
have been executed, China will have
practically complied with the terms
demanded by the powers, as she has
already agreed to issue edicts prepared
by the ministers of the powers for
the cessation of executions and re-
garding the responsibility of v~iceroys
and governors.
Prince Ching, the emperor's brother,
will soon go to Berlin to express Chi
mas regrets for the murder of Baron
Won Ketteler. He says China has now
accepted to the uttermost and also
performed everything required by the
powers except the payment of the in
IDENTITIES, the amount of which has
not been decided. He thinks arrange
ments should be made for the eyacu-
alton of Pekin in order to enable the
court to return. He says he believes
no nation in history ever complied with
a series of terms more quickly and
completely. No official announcement
has been made of the abandonment of
the proposed expedition into the in
terror, but it is not likely that any
further propositions will be made. The
foreign ENJOYS feel that the proposal
was a master stroke and caused the
settlement of what might have been a
%protracted affair.
PEKIN, February 24.---The minis
tiers of the powers regard the punish
ment edict as satisfactory. Chih 81,
former grand secretary, and Hsu
Cheng Yu, son of the notorious Hsu
Tung will be publicly executed in Pc
kin Tuesday.
An edict has been promulgated sus-
pending executions at all points which
we're the scenes of outrages upon for
eigners.
