MAYCOME SOME Day.

Galveston is assured of getting
ut Least million from Uncle Sam
&or the extension of the jetties,
Besides S225, 900 for dredging be-
tween the harbors, so the Wash
1ngton correspondent of The News
asserts. 1t also appears now that
Ewo sections of the intercoastal
canal will be provided for, one in
Louisiana and one in Texas, the
latter extending probably from
Corpus Christi to Pass Caballo, if
not to the Brazos River. Browns
vile gets nothing, but will be
good-natured and congratulate
those who are more fortunate,
meanwhile still cherishing a hope
that the next Congress may be
awakened to the fact that there is
10 part of the coast which would
give such enormous returns Tor the
expenditure of Government money
as that between Corpus Christi
-Gnd the mouth of the Rio Grande,
and no river in either the United
States or Mexico which could be
made navigable more easily or
which would produce as great a
tonnage in so short time as the
lower Rio Grande.- Brownsville
Herald.
Let Brownsville be of good cheer
and remain hopeful. If we can
not get the whole loaf at this ses-
sion of Congress this end will take
n half loaf and work toward you,
and will not give up the fight un-.
I'll the canal to the mouth of the
Rio Grande becomes a verirable
reality. The entire coast country
of Texas and Louisiana recognize
the importance of this great en-
kerprIse and it is only question of
4 few years until the brownsville
country will have transportation
rates to the Mississippi through one
inland waterway or intercoastal
canal.-Galveston News.

WELL, just try. an English wal
nut grove in the Brownsville coun-
try, if you want to get astonishing
results. The growth of English
walnut buds on black walnut stocks
in one season here astounded an
expert plant propagation of the
United States Bureau of Plant
Industry, who declares he never
saw anything to equal it elsewhere,
and would not have believed it, if he
had not seen it with his own eyes.
A growth of fifteen feet from the
bud, with a diameter of three
inches at the base, in one season is
something heretofore unheard of
in any country where the walnut
is grown.

THE HERALD conlmends the
above to the thoughtful considera-
t1on of the people of Brownsville,
as an example of an enterprising,
up-to-date town If a town of a

simply absurd that town the size
of Brownsville has done without

During a conversation between
the present German Kaiser and his
Chancellor, the latter, in closing a
remark, said:

BALTIMORE American
Photographed On An Ox-Cart


The primitive ox-cart, of which
good many specimens may still
be seen at times plodding through
our streets, is an object of interest
to most of our visitors from the
North, and all who bring kodaks
are sure to take snapshot views of
some of these antiquated vehicles
as souvenirs of their visit to the
Brownsville country.
A group of FIVE of these prospec-
tors this morning enjoyed the rare
experience of a ride on an ox-cart
going through several blocks of
the principal streets and, as fin
ale, stopped at the photographers
tent on 18th. street and were photo
graphed, ox-cart and ali. The re-
sulting picture will doubtless be
one of the most priced of all the
souvenirs which they they will
take home with them.

Fastest Trains of Two Continents

The fastest train run on the
American continent is on the
Atlantic City railroad, where So
miles are covered in one hour.
The railroad passes through coun-
try that is nearly as fiat as a billiard
table, and no occasion for checking
the speed is encountered. The
average speed, as may be noted, is
sos miles an hour.
The fastest run made by any
train in Europe is over a portion of
the .Caledonian railway between
Forfar and Perth, ,32.5 miles,
which is covered in 80 minutes, a
rate of 6O.94 miles an hour. The
first part of the journey is over a
level plain, through the valley of
Strathmore. At 20 miles out
steep descent of about 100 feet is
made to the river Tay, succeeded
by sharpe grade which leads to
the top of an incline, abodt six
miles long, that ends in Perth
station. Automobile Magazine.

Mobile, Ala, April 8.-Puerto Cor

duras, is now in the hands Of the Mic
araguans, according to advices re-
ceived here. The Nicaraguan army
and navy is active and is reported
also to have captured Ceiba, the other
port Of Honduras.
This information was contained in
message received by the Thacker

from New Orleans and stating that a
cablegram had just been received
from Puerto Barrios to that effect.
Later advices. received from Com
mander William F. Fullam of the

in command of Commander-in-Ch Chief

TO GUARANTEE PEACE.
United States May Become Guardian
It'd Of Central America.


Washington, April Can important
conference. took place at the state de-
partment during the day between AS
sistant Secretary Bacon, Ambassador
Creel Of Mexico and Ministers Calvo
Of Costa RIGA, Mejia of Salvador and
Toledo Herrera of Guatemala. 1t is
believed it was for the purpose OF
canvassing the prospects for reach
ing an agreement along the lines sug-
gested by President Cabrera Of Guate-
mala providing for guarantee by the
United States for the faithful execu-
ton of a peace pact in Central Amer
lea.
At the conclusion of the conference,
which lasted nearly three hours, it
was stated by one of the participants
that substantial progress was being
made toward reaching 60 agreement
that would insure the maintenance Of
peace in Central America. A conclu-
sion, however, he said, has not yet
been reached and it would be impos-
sible to discuss publicly the details of
the exchanges that are taking place.

COURTS ARE APPEALED TO
E. II. Hartman May Be Forced
to Answer Questions.

Washington, April 10.-Accord1ng to
q decision reached by the interstate
commerce commission E. H. Hartman
will he made to appear in United
States circuit court in the state OF
New York in answer to proceedings
to be instituted to compel him to an
swer certain questions which he re-
fused to answer when he was on the
stand at the recent hearing by the
commission in New York. Numerous
conferences have been held on the sub
ject by the members of the
commission in anticipation of this
action, which will be brought as soon
as Messrs Kellogg and Severance,
special counsel, can prepare the case
for submission to the court. ..&.
The hearing before which Mr.. Harrl-
man appeared was held in the latter
part Of February and it was in connec-
ton with certain transactions of the
Union Pacific that Mr.. Hartman, on
advice Of counsel, refused to answer
the questions put to him. 1t was
brought out in the testimony that the
Union Pacific owned a large amount
of Southern Pacific stock. Mr.. Harri-
man was asked whether any, and az
80, how much of that stock belonged
to himself, when he bought 1t" and
what price he paid for it., but he de-
clined to answer.
Another question which he refused
to answer Sand upon which the COM
mission desires light, was whether or
not any of the directors Of the Union
Pacific were interested in the sale of
certain shares of stock of the New
York Central railroad at the time
thew we're sold to the Union Pacific.

Home Made Catarrh Cure.

Any one can mix right at home
the best remedily of it's kind
known. The name "Cyclope' is
given to the following prescription,
it is supposed, because Of it's
promptness is driving from the
blood and system every vestige of
catarrhal poison, relieving this foul
aud dread disease, No matter
where located. To prepare the
mixture: Get from any good phar-
macy one half ounce Fluid Extract
Dandelion. one ounce Compound
Kargon and three ounce Compound
Syrup Sarsaparilla. Shake we'll
and use in teaspoonful doses after
each meal and at bedtime. n
This is a harmless, inexpensive
mixture, which has a peculiar
action upon the eliminative tissues
of the Kidneys, assisting them to
fter and strain from the blood and
system all catarrhal poiscns, which,
if not eradicated, are absorbed by
the mucous mem brane, and an
open sore or catarrh is the re-
suit. ~
Prepare some and try it, as it is
the prescription of an eminent.
catarrah specialist of national re-
putation.

Nearly a Score Of People Per-
ish in Southern Storm.

New Orleans, April 6.-Probably fif-
teen lives were instantly blotted out
by a tornado that swept across por-
lions Of three Gulf states, which was
distinctly traceable for distance of
200 miles and which took about eleven
hours in crossing this zone The tor
nadO moved from west to east, cross
ing the southern extremities of Louis
lana and Mississippi and striking into
Alabama for a short distance. Por-
lions of four towns were devastated
and damage probably exceeding $780,
900 was done, for in addition to
the places in which the tornado mani

La, instantly killing four persons
there, fatally injuring three and Sc
riously injuring thirteen others. Soon

ported killed. There was one fatal in
jury at Jackson. The tornado next ap-
peared at Carson, Miss, where great
property damage was done and the
