are on their way to the Browns
vile country, with a fine prospect
of having to take chances on get
ting rooms tonight, tomorrow and
Sunday nights, puts it directly up
to the people of Brownsville to see
that accommodations are provided
for them.
Secretary Barnes of the Lower
Rio Grande Valley Commercial
Club and Secretary Herman of the
publicity bureau want the names
of all the Brownsville people who
will take care of visitors. A great
many rooms will be needed until
the Miller Hotel is reopened. The
need is not a matter of several days
hence but of the present Right
now, and quick" as Mr.. Barnes
put it.
Il would suggest" said Mr..
Barnes, that those who have
rooms go to the depots themselves
to meet the evening train and offer
to show visitors where to go.
The matter is extremely impor-
tant and should be given irnmedi
ate attention.

byterian clergyman. He studied law,

After a successful law practice of
four years he was again nominated by
the democratic national convention of

delegation from his own state, and
was elected by very large majorities.
Some of the measures of his admin
istration are: The settlement of the
venezuelan boundary question with
Great Britain; the consolidating of
postoffices in large centers so as to
increase the scope of the civil service
rules; and most notably the conclu-
sion in January, 1897, of a general ar
bitration treaty with Great Britain.
which, however, was rejected by the
senate.
Possessed of great independence
of character and persistence in carry

ity in the ranks of his own party. On |
the other hand, these qualities won
him admiration in many quarters.
