SOUTHWESTERN TARIFF.
Report Of Work Done at the Recent Chi
caoo Meeting OF the Committee.


Galveston, Texas, July % p. II, Good
wyn. general freight agent OF the Santa
ge, has returned from Chicago. where he
attended the July meeting of the South
western tariff committee This Is usually
one of the most important meetings of The
committee during the year, as It is at this
meeting that the rates on shipments of
cotton for the ensuing season are agreed
upon The committee made no changes
this year In the rules and rates applicable
to cotton shipments, those of the previous
season being simply readopted.
The matter OF readjustlng the rates on
shipments between points In South Texas
was taken Mp, however, at this meeting.
One Of the principal adjustments desired
is the limiting of the application OF wafer
rates TO such points as really have deep
winter. Another of the embellishments de.
sired is the making OF the Incoming rates
to Galveston and the distributing rates
out substantially the same ms those OF
Houston and other coast country points.
The thrift committee disposed Of the adj
jus,ments desired by referring them TO
committee representing the Houston and
Galveston lines, The committee Will meet
as soon as possible and decide upon the
features of the adjustments to be made.
The action OF this committee VIII be hnnl
in the premises M II Is authorized to act
for the tariff committee.
Another matter which was considered by
the Sorthwes ,ern tann committee at Its
meeting which viii bee Of general interest
was the changing OF the through inter
state rates on shipments Of grain from pro-
ducing points IL is proposed TO change
these rnter and cause a more direct move
ment Of the graln coming to Texas. Rail
road men are familiar with the UexhrAana
grain rate situation which has caused n
large bulk OF the grain shipped TO Texas
TO first be shipped by thar point. II the
proposed change is made the interstatr
n TpWug
he made practically the same as the com
bination Of rates to and from Texarkann.
| Tie matter was referred to a committee
which will meet next week In Kansas
| for export so much as the grain for con
| smmntion In the interior Of Texas.

Waco, Texas, July 22-The State execu.

called TO meet In this city July 81, and It
bids fair TO be something OF interest The
committee at the time It was made was
pretty much Of the same mind, but since
matters have come up that may cause
strong lines to be drawn. and the fight that
has been talked of heretofore may be pre-.
clpitated at this meeting.
Some OF the matters that may contribute
to this fight is the presidents action IN
turning out John Grant. Another might
be the appointment of a former democrat
as postmaster at Austin TO succeed w. b..
Brush, and still another might be the
action OF the president In turning down
klcberg for the Judgeship Of the Southern
district when he had been endorsed by
Hawley, and appointing Waller 4. Burns.

The center Of interest viii be the fight
for leadership in the State for the coming
two years. With this will be the fight for

COUNTY TICKET NAMED.
Jefferson Club Of Galveston Makes
Its Selections.
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETS TODAY
Matter Of Opposition from Independent
Element Viii Be Considered.
To Burn Oil.

Galveston, Texas, July 2o.-There will be
a meeting Of the county democratic ex-
ecutive committee at 8 o'clock tomorrow
AFTERNOON at the office of Chairman II. NJ.
Knight In the court Of appeals building.
The meeting will be for the purpose of dis
cussing the plans for the coming cam
paign. The jefferson club does not an
ticipate any opposition from within the
party TO the candidates Endorsed at the

cratic club in the city and its Endorsement
is therefore equivalent to the nomination
at the primaries. 1t Is recognized, how
ever, that there will be strong opposition
to the ticket on the part Of the independ-
ents after the men are nominated. This Is
Inc matter which will take up the atten-
ton OF the members Of the executive COM
mittee and other active democrats during
the next few weeks
Ii is said that there VIII possibly be
night for control In the executive commit
tee. While the candidates win have the
unqualified support of democrats, there are
ecutiNe committee and there Is faction,
so 1t is stated, which will make an effort
TO secure control Some interesting dcvel-
opmentU In this direction are looked for

by the Jefferson democratic committee at
Its meeting held last night:
