A Serious Break Down.


Last Saturday, the breaking OF
4 shaft in the crusher at the Segura
Sugar Factory, had the effect OF
shutting the mill down. This was
q very important part OF the crush
ing apparatus, and, from all we
can learn, one that cannot be
readily repaired. The broken piece
was shipped to New Orleans by
express. It has been reported TO
us that the necessary repairs could
not be made at New Orleans and
that it would be necessary to get 9
new shaft from the factory where
the crusler was built before tht
damage can be repaired. Il IS ex
pected that the new piece will be II
at an early date, if not received by
the time We go to press, and thai
the mill will be in full operation
again in ample time to take car

DEATH OF loNArlUs DoNNELLY.

DEATH OF loNATlUs DoNNELLY.
The late lgnatius Donnelly was one
of III It picturesque men in the
country He had great ability. AS a
writer his style was clear. forcible and
fascinating. He was one OF the great
orators OF the country, with q voice Of
music. graceful and impressive action
and a command OF language that never
was al fault
He was as eloquent as lngersoll as
persuasive as Henry Ward Beecher
as powerful in denunciation as Wen
dell Phillips and his genuine Irish wit
had as many points as a hatchet. His
arguments we're always plausible and
often were of great strength. II he
could not answer an objection he
could paralyze it with joke.
with these extraordinary gifts, how
ever, he was mere theorist, a
dreamer. man Of visions He need
ed the anchor OF stability fastening
him. as $acaulay said. to one set OF
opinions and to one set OF friends.
with powers fitting him in some re-
spects to become a great party leader,
he drifted from one party to another
so often that he became a true leader
in none He quareled with his col
leagues in the various factions which
he joined or which he organized. He
had no large body Of political follow
ers because he changed as often as a
weather cock and followers could not
keep track OF him.
Mr.. Donnellys literary works were
essentially Characteristic. They were
extravagant in conception - night
mares OF the imagination. impossible
within the realms OF sanity. His
theory that the works OF Shakespeare
constituted n cryptogram invented by
Bacon was dream of lunacy. His
other serious works We're OF the same
description. They had great ability.
He wrote with an inspired pen. If he
had possessed common sense equal TO
his fancy If he had possessed a judg-
ment TO regulate his other intellectual
qualities and TO counterbalance the
unique variety OF his brilliant gifts he
would not have been a consummate
failure.
Comparing the two men. Cushman
X Davis had the endowments which
Donnelly lacked consistent faith. a
single end IN view, a steadfast pur-
pose and loyalty TO the party of which
he was a member. They were two
OF the greatest men who have adorned
the histor.' OF any western state. They
differed in the essentials which made
the career Of one successful and that
of the other generally unsuccessful.

THE REBUILDING OF GALVESTON

The Galveston News of January /,
IN presenting it's annual statement OF
the trade and commerce OF the port of
Galveston for 1900 gives a resume OF
the damage done by the september
storm and an outline of what has been
accomplished in the way OF rehabilita-
tlon. Deep water was secured at CAL
weston in 1896. Each succeeding year
has shown a large increase in the
business OF the port. Galvestons
channel has a navigable depth of 27
to 2S feet at mean low tide, or a
depth OF % to 80 feet at mean high
tide. Galveston has a storage elevator
capacity Of 3,OOOO.O0O bushels Gal
weston has twenty.one lines OF Europ-
can steamers. two lines TO Mexico. one
line to Cuba, two services to Japan
and the far East, and a long establish
ed regular line to New York and Bos-
ton. Texas farmers diversity their
crops and Galveston Is developing as
a market for all of Texas surplus pro-
duets. The storm property loss in the
city OF Galveston was sl7 ,O5s.275. The
number of homes entirely destroyed
was 4.1Si. Since the storm $2,25s, 500
has been expended in building. In
the beach district which as swept
clean by the storm more than 1000
homes haze been built The total re.
lief received by Galveston, including
money and supplies. was 1854. 900.
Galvestons retail trade since the
storm has been better than before the
storm. The wholesale houses suffered
heavy losses, but are ready for 1901
business. No large failures resulted
from the storm. In spite OF a storm
unprecedented the ports business
shows as follows;
Total exports of cotton for 1900, l.,
535. 202 bales. valued at S73,333 ,864
for 1899. 1895, ,2S2 bales. valued at $50.

ton seed cake and meal exported, val
ued at Sl,795,4Sl; for 1899. 254l5i

foreigners. and the foreign Office must
be reconstructed on foreign lines AS
the acme Of absurdity Joining an anti
foreign society. an act which TO China
men under the circumstances must
seem patriotic Is to be made capital
ofense.
II there is any civic pride. any ma

prived Of the right to arm itself can
not enforce such terms Il must re-
main for the concert to carry out the
terms which have been dictated to the
Chinese government Il win mean
that China must benceforward be

or by an unwieldy foreign concert. the

they make pretty fair fighting materl-
al It will be more than is expected,
to say the ltie II the attempts to
keep them disarmed succeeds. This
Il seems plain that the Western pow
ers are storing up for themselves
wrath to come. Even II this danger
does not naterialize. il is pretty Ger
tain that another will The foreign
rule that is promised in China is more
than likely to end in anarchy, that
the individuals OF the concei must
finally resort TO partition. Then will
arise world complications that may
end in dire consequences.
From any standpoint, the frs,
chapter of the Chinese trouble has
been a disgraceful chapter for the
Western world and dark chapter for
China. The regret OF Americans will
be that our government did not fol
low its better instincts and stick to
the end TO the mild policy which it ad
vocated almost to the last. If it had
done so. Il might have avoided the
shame and disaster which is likely ia
result from the present Oriental
policy OF the Western powers.
