STATUS OF TEXAS MEXICAN.
Considerable Speculation as to
What Position it Now
Occupies.

Austin, Tex, June 30.-There is
considerable speculation as to what
position the Texas-Mexican rail
road occupies in the transaction
recently consummated whereby the
Mexican government obtained an
interest in the Mexican National
railroad in that country. 1t is
understood that the Mexican Gov
eminent does not own any stock in
the Texas-Mexican road, and, in
fact, it is questionable if a foreign
government could own railroad
interests in this country under the
law. The Texas Mexican was a
part of the National system and
runs from Laredo to Corpus Christi,
a distance of 153 miles. The fact
that it does not enter the deal recent
ly made by the National Railroad
Company Of Mexico with the Mex
can government, leads to the belief
that it has been sold or is about to
be sold to other interests. The
Rock Island-Frisco are the most
probable purchasers of this line. 1t
would give that system, in connec-
,tion with the San Antonio q Aran-
sas Pass. a~4irect connection with
the main line of tn SAau' -aNat La
redo. The announcement was, re-
Gently made that the St. Louis,
Brownsville d Mexico Railway Co.
which is to build a road from SIN
ton to Brownsville, had made ar
rangements for operating its trains
over the Texas-Mexican into Cor
pus Christi, from It's crossing point.
This Is an indication that the rela-
tiCns between the Rock Island FRS
co and the Texas Mexican are to
be very close. The National is
building a new branch road from
Monterey to San Miguel, which in
connection with its isolated line to
Matamoros, will give it a new line
to the border. With this additional
road to the Rio Grande the Nation
al would have little use for its Tex
as-Mexican line.

There Is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together. AMI until the last few
years was supposed 70 be incurable. For
a great many years doctors pronounced
1t local disease and prescribed local
remedies. and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proven catarrh
to to be a constitutional disease and
therefore requires constitutional treat
ment. Halls CatarrA Cure, manufac-
tured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo,
Ohio, Is the only constitutional cure on
the market. It it taken internally in
doses from 10 drops 70 teaspoonful.

1t was read Mir. London of Jefferson moved that the vote by which the bill was ordered to a third reading be recon sidered. but the motion was lost for the want of quorum.
 Inc bill was passed, ayes 49 nays ~.
 Ensley Police Bill Recalled.
 Mir. Benners of Jefferson offered a res olution recalling House bill AT which was in the hands of the Governor awaiting his signature. The bill, he explained, pro- vtded for tho creation of a Board of Po- lice Commissioners for the city Of Ems ley. It was, he said, the unanimous wish of the seven members of the House from Jefferson and the Senator to have the bill recalled.
 The resolution recalling the bill was passed under a suspension of the rules Only Bill Defeated.
 Senate bill had the unique distinction of being the only bill in the present ses- sion defeated on final vote. The bill regulated tho building of mill dams across running streams. It provided that dams could be built without the consent or owners of adjoining lands.
 The death blow to the bill was struck in the dark. As the roll call was started the electric lights went out. recess of fifteen minutes was taken. Candles were secured and the roll call was finished.
 The House then adjourned and the mem bers groped their way out of the Capi- tol building.

HOUSE AFTERNOON SESSION.
Horticultural Bill Precipitated De-
 bate,

l
 At 3:5O o'clock the House met for its | afternoon session, there being sixty eight members present at that hour. No time was lost in getting to work. 1 Senate bill authorizing the increase of capital stock of street railway compa- nies was called up and passed.
 The bill providing for the maintenance of the Alabama Girls Industrial School was put upon its passage. It went | through without discussion.
 The bill to protect horticulture and suppress tree pests was called up. The bill carried an appropriation of $150O yearly for the preservation of fruit trees and creates a Horticultural Commission and a State Board.
 MT. Goldsmith of Lowndes wanted in- formation about the bill.
 MT. Thomas of Chambers said that the bill was one of the few measures that was entirely in the interest of the farm CTS of the State. Alabama. he said, was made the dumping ground for diseased and defective fruit trees. He knew that two car loads of diseased trees were or dered out of Georgia by the State In- spector. They were. he said. promptly brought into Alabama and sold to farm CTS He asked in the interests of farm CTS and fruit growers of Alabama that the bill be passed.
 Kelly Cites Objections.
 MT. Kelly of Choctaw said he was against the bill. It wouldn't do any good. he argued. Insects and blights would come to the trees anyhow. They always came to trees brought from other States. The trees would flourish for few years and then die of the blight. He was against appropriations. too. The mem bers. he said. were bringing in a lot of appropriations none of them amounting to much but all of them amounting to a good deal.
 MT. Arlington of Montgomery said that he wished to raise his voice for the pro- lection of fruit trees. He stood for, the | bill because 1t protected fruit trees. It was the duty of the Legislature to pro- tect the people of Alabama against the | fruit sellers of other States. Mir. Walker of Madison favored the l bill. His County, he said, was the larg- est fruit growing and fruit shipping County in the United States. The in dustry in the State was hampered bv de- fective and diseased trees palmed of on Alabamians. It was known that no bad | trees could be sold in Georgia because of the State inspection. Alabama should throw around the industry in Alabama l the same protection that was thrown around 1t by other States.
 Mr. Hoffman of Mobile said that he
 was in receipt of many letters from large fruit growers in his section of the State. | These letters were in accord with the | remarks of the gentleman from Madison He agreed that the fruit growing indus try was an important one and should be protected

 Lord Roseberry said the ministers seem- cd to have a hallucinatfon that the word empire meant expenditure, and that it meant little else.

The first requisite of an empire was a nation worthy of empire, and years of Tory rule were barren of effort to insure such a nation. ,,--
