TEXAS REPUBLICANS HOPEFUL.
They Expect to Land About Half the Con-
greSsmen Next Year.
ley TELEGRAPH TO THE TR1BrNE.

Galveston, Tex, Dec. 2-The Republican leaders
in Texas have been in conference here to-day.
Among them are r. B. Hawley, national commit
teeman. and Cecil Lyons, chairman of the executive
committee They and some twelve fourteen
others arrived here this morning and were in close
consultation all day. The Republicans hope TO
elect at least half the Texas Congressman next
year. The Terrell Election law, enacted at the
last session of the Legislature, knocks out the in
dependent voter. who has heretofore been a strong
factor in Texas politics. The Republicans believe
that they Will profit by this law. which is
ceded 10 have been Democratic mistake. An in
dication, the Republicans say of the way things
going, is found in the election last week in
a South Texas district. where Houston, the
metropolis of South Texas, for the first time went
Republican.
While it is believed that the Republicans
united in Texas and pickering has ceased,
Hanna has a strong following here, and several OF
his ardent supporters at the conference to-
day. For another, Roosevelt has
made enemies in Texas, and they are fockng to
the standard of Hanna for President. At the con-
ference to-day this matter was considered, but,
through wise counsel, no crisis was prectpitated.

Gainesville, Ga. June 3.-The 5000.
Inhabitants of this city have just be-
gun to realize the extent of the APP
palling disaster of Monday. 1t now
seems certain that the death list will
not be much short Of 100, perhaps
somewhat over 100, considering the
number of dangerously wounded
whose chances for recovery cannot
now be calculated. But through all
the gloom and desolation that sur
round the town like a pail of dark
ness, there radiates a beam of hope
and encouragement-hope that the
death list may not be so numerous as
reported, and encouragement to those
who are so bravely and devotedly as
sisting in the work Of relief. The
story of the storms work of desolu-
ton has already been told. All that
remains is the compilation of an ac-
curate list of the dead and the chron-
icing and burial of the victims.

MANY LIVES LOST.

Gale Off yalparaiso-Other
Vessels Wrecked.

Valparaiso, Chill, June 4.-Every
hour makes more manifest the dam
age wrought by a gale here. Capt.
Kerry, of the British bark Foyledale,
reports that he lost ten of his crew
and that his own wife and child were
drowned.
1t is now certain that disaster

er Arequipa, as the bodies of several
of the vessels firemen and those of
some of the passengers have been
washed ashore. It is believed the yes
sci foundered and that all it's crew
and passengers were lost.
Fifteen of the crew of the Arequipa
were picked up at sea. They state
that Capt.Todd along with his wife
and all the passengers and officers
went down with the vessel. The num-
Der lost is estimated at so.
Conspicuous among the many
wrecks on the shore is the govern
ment dredge Holanda. Scores of
small vessels ire also ashore. There
has been considerable loss of life in
the city itself.

A Perfect Gold Brick.

The largest and most perfect gold
pflck to be received at the United
states assay Office at Deadwood
mas been deposited by the Spear
fish Gotd Mining and Reduction
company, from the cyanide mill
IN the limestone belt. 1t weighs
,l75t c and is over 900 fine, be-
ing worth approximately $4,000. 1t
IS seldom that ggoldgof such fneness
is brought into this Office from plants
in the Hills, and while theaoffice has
received bars weighing about rs
much. they have not possessed the
same value or anywhere near it. The
gold is usually associated with silver
and copper. The last bar from the
.SSpeartish weighs over ninety pounds,
troy weight, is well formed, and the
gold is of a particularly bright yell
low color.
This brick was the result of a four
gteen days run at the 20O-ton cyanide
splant of the Spearfish company on ore
fhat assays from SIS to 81 a ton: At
this rate the company is able to clean
gup owe $4,000 a month. The increase
in the amount of the clean-up is att
tributable to greater richness of the
sore than formerly, and to the fact
that the company is able with ex-
perience to get a greater efficiency in
the milling facilities.

Jones d. Hicks, well known on the
Western cattle ranges as a stock de-
t%ective, is on trial at Sundance, Wyo.,
charged with the murder of Robert
lSryson at Gillette last fall. Hicks has
been confined in the Jail at Sundance
all winter During the November
term of court he filed a petition with
the court in which he denied the muir

killed Bryson. Hicks has prepared
for a vigorous defense, and has en-
gagged lawyers of Deadwood, Lead,
Sheridan and Sundance as counsel.
The case is being tried before Judge
u. L. Stotts of the Fourth Wyoming

much attention.
Several years ago Hicks took a

DEER TURNING WHITE.
creasing Terror Of Life In
the Woods.


~ party OF scientific men from Cor
nell and Johns Hopkins universities
and several naturalists from the de-
%partnent Of agriculture at Washing
ton are coming to Maine this summer
for the purpose of studying the effect
of fear upon the physical Development
OF Wild wild animals, states the New York
sur.
Prior to the appearance Of the white
men in North America all manuals con
formed to the laws of administration
as promulgated by Darwin and his sue
%cessors. Timid animals were SO col
ored as to fit the environment in which
they lived. Hares were brown in the
summer to correspond to the shaded
woods in which they roamed, but with
the approach of winter they put on
white o~Fercoats to match the snowy
surface of the country. Deer, moose
and caribou, which were rusty red set
off withwhite in summer, coated them
selves in dun gray suits asFsoon as the
snow fell, thus better avoiding the
gaze of proving wolves, bob cats and
panthers. Aged Indians Of the three
tribes which inhabit Maine say that
the albino form Of deer was unknown
in the woods until half aeentury ago.
When asked why these freaks among
the herds have changed their coats, the
wise, Indians shake them ~headssand re-
ply:
"Heem bin lax heem was some
scared. Some mans heem geet mooch
scared an heem hair bin turn same's
all white. What for re deer no bin so
re same waY?.a
According to reports broughtin by
men who spent much tim inthe Maine
woods last summer, all7the Indians
have noticed the remarkable Increase
in the number Of albino deerinthelas
five or six years, and they have rea-
soned the question out among them
selves until they have come to the
conclusion that a white deer is either
a deer which has been very badly
frightened att some time in its life, or
is the offspring Of deer which have
been scored equally effectively.
A year ago last winter Nick Socka-
lexis, a hunter of the Ahenaki tribe,
spent the cold months trapping for
fu~rsalongthe West Rrnnch, making his
headquarters in am abandoned camp
close to the tracks Of the Bangor &
sAroostock railroad. Wishing for com
lpanY-&.ae caught a small female deer in
December and kept her IN the camp
!:osai 7dass the winter: she grew TO
be very tame, but, i'm spite Of all that
Sockafaxis could do. She became terri

train went past.
Oneday,when he Wished to accustom
HIS i pct 10 the noise, b iisasssstt ee::.ss: led \ a.e.
out to astree.near the track. When he
came in from his traps at night he
found that her coat had changed to
snowy white with terror. He kept the
deer in the howell until June before
turning her locsesto run in the woods.
In May she gave birth to two healthy
Ifawns, both OF which were snow white
and very beautiful. The Indianis sure
thatthe change IN color was duetoter-
ror awakened BY the noise Of the
trains, and that the physical symptoms
of fear implanted in the mother were
inherited by her offspring. Toginves-
tigate this Indian hypothesis b sci

month.
