A CAOWDED DOCKET
THREE MURDER TRIALS, A NUM-
BER OF MINOR OFFENSES AND
CIVIL CASES FOR DISTRICT
COURT.

The district court cOnvenes at Browns
vile this week with probably as crowd
ed a docket as that tribunal has ever
had to deal with. The November term of
court was taken up almost entirely with
the hearing of the municipal election
cases which necesitated cOntinuances in
all cases of Importance.
The grand jury, however, will probably
have an unusually easy time. There have
been few mis-deeds of Importance since
ire last grand jury adjourned.
Prominent among the cases which are
expected to be taken up at this term is
that of IgnaciO TrevinO, who is charged
with criminal assault to murder.

AGAINST DISCRIMINATION MADE
AGAINST CONFEDERATES BY
RAILROADS WEST OF THE MIS-
SISSIPPI IN REUNION RATES
WHILE VETERANS EAST OF BIG
RIVER MAY RIDE ON ONE CENT
RATE, THOSE ON WEST MUST PAY
TWO CENTS.
(SDecidl to The Herdld.)

AUSTIN, Texas, April 14.-VigOrOus
protest has been made to the railroad
commission by Confederate veterans gen
orally throughout Texas, at the action of
the association of Southwestern railways
in putting in rate of two cents per mile
on all lines west of the Mississippi to the
national reunion of Confederate veterans
to be held at Chattanooga, Tenn, while
the association of southeastern lines have
made a rate of one cent.
Many Texas veterans who had con-
templated attending the reunion will be
unable to 90. on account of this two cent
rate and they feel that great injustice
is done them, as veterans from the east
will get a one cent rate.
The commission has entered a strong
protest to the interstate commission on
the discrimination which is violation
of the Sherman law.

BRUSSELS, April 12-While it is i'm
possible to predict to what extent the
threatened general strike will tie up in
dustry after Monday. it is evident now
that the situation is beginning to be re
garded as extremely serious The so
cialists declared tonight that 100000
workers will go out, crippling the en-
tire country.
Steamship companies whose vessels
dOcked at Antwerp today notified all
agents that they would decline to assume
responsibility for freight beginning to-
night. All merchandise now Ell route
from the United States will be landed
at Rotterdam or Hamburg. Twenty
ship loads of ores and grains destined
for Antwerp already have been diverted
to these ports. The Red Star line is ac-
cepting no freight.

Antwerp have given notice that they

requested a police guard. One hundred
canal boat loads of potatoes which ar

inhabitants are laying in provisions for
long siege.
The employees of the municipal water,
lighting and street cleaning departments
have been notified that their participant
ing in the strike will forfeit their posi-
tiOns and rights to pensions and it is
hardly likely they will join the move
ment.
The socialists declare no violence will
be permitted If they can maintain the
strike for a few days without violence,
they believe a delegation of burgOmas-
ters from more than 1000 towns will
come to Brussels and ask the king to in
tervene.
