WASHINGTON. Dec. IL. - Homer B.
Hubert, the special messenger from the
emperor or Corea, is in receipt of a cable
gram from Corea in which the emperor de-
clares that the agreement between Corea
and Japan is null and void because il was
obtained by force. He also declares that
he will never sign this agreement in it's
present form, and that the disturbances
which attended the Outrage" OF November
II are likely to occur again.

peror of Corea, Mr.. Hubert said

a city election, more than $1,000 votes being
cast out OF a total registration of ll4,OO0

ocrat. was reelected by plurality OF more
than 10000. In the recent state election the
democratic gubernatorial candidate carried
the city by plurality of approximately

strong democratic districts giving Frothins-
ham a plurality because of factional differ
ences.

two republican candidates in the field.

votes. Dewey asserted that fraud had
been practced at the polls and declared
himself as an independent candidate.

rial and a construction outfit to go
to work on the yard and depot i'm
provements of the Gulf Coast Line
in Bay City. They will consist of
separate passenger and freight de-
pots, water tank and section houses.
The passenger station IS to be a
handsome, modern brick, a dupli-
cate of the ones at Kingsville and
Brownsville, at a cost of $4,000.
The people appreciate the enter
prising spirit of the new road in
giving Bay City metropolitan i'm
provements in recognition of her
commercial Importance. In the be-
ginning of construction McCabe &
Stein established constructing head
quarters at Bay City for the divis-
ion between Alvin and Sinton, {

have a round house and machine
shops here and in a few days their

THE HERALD feels that Our cit
liens should regard with great
deal of pride the efforts of our con-
gresham. Hon John n. Garner,
in behalf of this section. And what
may be said of his work for this
part of his territory IS also true OF
the other sections represented by
him. Through his efforts Browns
vile is to be furnished with daily
weather forecasts, an experimental
station is to be established here,
and parties who have applied for
fish with which to stock tanks,
resaeas etc. have been notified
that their applications have been
favorably considered, and the
supply of fish, mostly black bass,
will be shipped at the proper time.
All these and more have been
obtained through the instrument
tality of Mr.. Garner. Of course
due credit should be given some OF
the more progressive citizens OF
Brownsville who have taken special
interest in such matters, but to
Inc. w. Garner is particular credit
due for the personal interest he has
displayed. Mr.. Garner has proven
himself true friend of this por-
ton of his district, and THE HER
AID feel that he is entitled to the
welcome plaudit, Well done.

HERE is a morsel for the fellow
who is always harping on the high
price of land, water rate, ETC., in
the Brownsville country. On more
than one acre of land there have
been gathered and shipped as
many as three hundred and fifty
boxes of English peas and at least
hundred more boxes gathered
which will be used for seed. 1t
did not cost dollar per box to
grow, pick and market the crop,
and the returns averaged about
this sum. Now, if you can figure
at all you can easily see that land
in the Brownsville country is not
high.
