an article reproduced from the
Galveston News stating that bids
had been invited for the improve
ment of the harbor at Brazos San
tiago. Those who recognize the
enormous advantage to Brownsville
that the deepening of the harbor
would give, hail with delight the
fact that the government has taken
up this work, and will expend $50,
600, which amount has long been
to the credit of Brazos Santiago,
in making a 10-foot channel to
Point Isabel. With deep water at
this point and first-class connec-
ton by rail with the outside world.
Texas would, in the language of
the houi, be strictly in the swim. .
1t is claimed that if ten or fifteen
feet of water car be obtained by
the expenditure of this amount,
twenty or twenty FIVE feet could be
maintained with comparatively lit
tie extra expense, and we could
then do business with the outside
world. Give the Brownsville coun-
try deep water at Brazos Santiago

in the United States could be made
much better still. Our market IS

A Valuable Record.

Louis Kowalski showed HER
AID reporter a record kept during
the yellow fever epidemic in
Brownsville in 1882. In period of
about 90 days there were reported
about 200o cases of sickness of
every description, of these 124
four died. Among the American
population were 10 deaths, five OF
WHOM were habitual drunkards,
and one morphine fined, and about
twenty children under Is years old.
The yellow fever district did not
extend more than a few miles i'll
any direction except at Point Isa-
bel, where a few cases were report
ed. The fever was stamped out in
a very short time, and the majority
of deaths was among the lower
classes, most of whom died from a
weak constitution, caused by ex-
posure and poor ventilation in their
dwelling places. The reports that
have been recently. circulated that
about 1000 people died here dur
ing the epidemic is absolutely I'M
true, as is proven by the record III
Mr.. Kowalski' Office, which he
will gladly show any one who wish
es to see it. Such reports only do
harm, and Will some day come
home to those who have the well
fare of their town so little at heart
as to circulate such nanifestly false
reports about a section which has
more than once been declared by
experts to be outside the yellow
fever district. In 1882 it was well
known how Brownsville became in
fected with yellow fever, which
was by the importation of foreign
laborers for railroad building in
Mexico. No such condition exists
now, and Brownsville health was
never better than at present, to
which our resident physicians will
testify. The record i'll Mr.. Kowal-
ski 5 Office also shows where. every
dollar contributed came from and
how same was expended, and IS
valuable documentary evidence OF
those troublous times and how the
plague was handled.

WASHINGTON NEWS.

Washington, D. c., Aug. rs
The strange transformation that
has taken place in Mr.. Roosevelt
within the past few months-his
conversion from the fierce hussar,
besworded and bespurred, seeking
the bubble reputation even at the
cannon 5 mouth, into the meek and
peace-1oving civilian wrapped in
gentle silence. is generally and dis
respectfully regarded as a mere
political dodge. 1t is assumed that
wholly for the purpose of getting
votes he is making a belated effort
to live down his violent past.
His conduct continues to be
favorite topic of, conversation and
discussion here in the National
Capital wherever politicians of
either party do congregate.
This assumption that Roosevelt
may be doing this repression act
for effect, may be doing a cruel in
justice to an awakened and repent
ant man. Goaded by a sense of
wrong, therefore, Mr.. Roosevelt
may ere long burst into indignant
speech and explain that he always
was in reality the quiet, inofensive
and modestly retiring person we
now behold. and that the other
Roosevelt with whom the world
had grown familiar was the crea-
ton of Loeb, his secretary since he
became governor of New York,
and who seems to be his evil genius
in every way.
If the president shall offer his
fellow citizens this explanation of
why he has looped the loop from
what he was to what he now wishes
them to think him-the silent,
thoughtful and discreet statesman
he will, of course. reveal by what
means he has rescued himself from
the satanic arts of Loeb and reduc
ed that matehless Mephistopheles
to his proper place as simple sec
reiary. And it is to be taken for
granted also that Mr.. Roosevelt
viii endeavor TO give satisfactory
assurances that, in the unlikely
event Of his election, he viii be
able TO resist a resumption BY Loeb
of his magical influence over the
presidential mind and conduct.
Perhaps the best guaranty Mr.. /
Roosevelt could furnish that, if ac-
corded four years more IN the +
White House, he would not loop

GLOOM INVADES RUSSIA.
II is Believed That the Withdrawal Oi
the Entire Army NOrthward
May Follow.
lRu the Associated Press. J

St. Petersburg, July 29.-Since the
Russian retreat from Ia Tche Kiao
and the taking of New Chwang by the
japanese, the feeling here has grown
suddenly more pessimistic. With the
japanese able to get around General
Kuropatkin's right from New
Chwang with their forces pressing in
upon Hal Cheng from the east and
a Japanese column threatening the
Russian communications above Liao
Yang, the withdrawal of the entire
Russian army northward may be alb
solutely necessary. In this connec-
ton the orders issued to the foreign
war correspondents to go to Harbin,
as announced in these dispatches yes
terday, as we'll as the Associated
Press confirmation this morning from
Vladivostock that Viceroy Alexieff is
going there, are highly significant, as
indicating that General Kuropatkln
may already have decided that his
present position is untenable
The temper of the soldiers at the
front over these continued retrograde
movements is shown by the state
mentS of two Russian correspondents

soldiers are tired of retreating' and

Of his organization employed in New

on the different packers with a prop
osition from the strike leaders offer
ing to concede the most important
point in the controversy, If the en-
ployees would agree to renew peace
negotiations. Mr.. Wallace and Mr..
Amas were told by the packers that
there was no possible chance for any
further conciliatory move, and that
the packers were in a position where
they could ignore the labor unions
and that they proposed to do so.

that the men are becoming anxious
to get back to work.

representatives of the packers at any

way changed. we are not anxious, to
keep up a running fight and shall be
glad if q settlement can be effected.
Following the arrest of George Col
den, chief of the packing teamsters
union, for picketing, riots became
more frequent in the vicinity of the
stock yards this afternoon. In one
disturbance a mob captured a loaded
meat wagon after it had left the stock
yards, upset the wagon and threw the
meat into the street. The most Sc
rious riot of the day occurred in South
Chicago, where five men were arrest
ed for trying to prevent the delivery
Of meat. Although the strikers and
their friends became very boisterous
when it became known that Golden
had been arrested and made all sorts
Of threats, no one was seriously in
jured in any of the many disturban YES
that occurred. The police have the
situation so we'll in hand that before
the would-be rioters can get fairly
started in their purpose they are scat
tered by the blue coats in all direc-
tions.

traband to Japan. The Associated
Press learns that the Russian govern
ment since the beginning of the war
has carefully watched the manufac-
ture of goods intended for the use of
the Japanese government and as soon
as it was established that such goods
were about to be shipped to a hostile
destination the facts were officially
communicated to the British govern
ment, with the request that measures
be taken to put Il stop to it. 1t is
further asserted that in many cases
the government has not taken action
and it is understood that when the
war ends Russia proposes to present
a bin for damages to the British gov
ernment which will offset the indem-
mites claimed for the seizure of Brit
ish steamers.
1t is also learned by the Associated
Press that Russia does not intend to
hasten the settlement of the question
of the right of vessels of the volunteer
feet to pass the Dardanelles, since
if negotiations on the subject were
conducted at this time. as desired by
Great Britain, Russia might be forced
by the existing situation to grant con-
cessions she would afterwards regret.

conveniently leave his municipal
duties. !
