THE WEEKLY STATESMAN.
AUSTIN . . - TEXAS.
THURSDAY - - AUGUST 3 1882
"Williamson county it is eaid
will send no delegates to the sena-
torial convention.
Thk Republicans have got the
Greenbacken in tow and will ex-
hibit them this fall.
Louisiana is now of the opinion
that It would be good policy to stop
the lottery business in the state.
On account of the war iu Egypt
the cotton planters of the south may
expect a good price for their cottou
this year.
- Memphis has eniorced strict quar-
antine against New Orleans where
1 1 r i
a lew caqcs oi veuow icvcr nave
appeared.
The Greeubackers think the Re-
publicans are much older and big-
ger men than they are and lamblike
follow in their footsteps.
It strikes the average citizen that
the more our rivers and harbors
are improved the more mouey does
it take to improve them.
A party that is taking measures
to suppress the facts in the star
route frauds can afford and does
wink at Hubbell'a assessment 'rob-
beries. The southern darkey has to go to
Kansas and run up and down two
or three railroads before he is satis-
fied that there is not a farm waitiDg
him in that section.
The whole tariff system Id a sham ;
It does nothing It pretends to do.
The manufacturing interests about
which we hear so much do not com--pare
in importance to the agricul-
tural interests.
The National View of Washing-
ton the Greenback organ is filled
this week with the orations the
scintillations and the monetary ram-
ifications of Missouri's Greenback
delegations in congress.
Brady's sulary as second assistant
postmaster general was $3500 per
year. lie told Walsh be was assess-
ed $8000 in 1880 tor the "congress-
ional corruption fund." Hubbell'a
assessment rate is three per cent of
salaries.
George Washington Jones has
his little hook nicely baited dang-
ling out over the political waters
hoping the Independents will bite.
They will refuse aud the astonish-
ment of the Radical-Greenbackers
will know no bounds.
The New York Herald treats edi-
torially of the question what be-
comes of old pianos? Should the
question be amended to read what
ougLt to become of them iu behalf
of a suffering public he would shed a
ray of light that would dazzle a phi-
losopher. It it thought Texas will have five
bushels of corn whor* she raised oue
last year. Illinois and Iowa have
been the principal corn-growing
states but the country is continual-
ly spreading and thousands of acres
which never before raised anything
will turn out good corn this year.
Secretary Chandler reports
that congress is not disposed to
make the annronriatiou for remov
ing the remains of Licuteuat De
Long and his men from the Lena to
this country. The committeo seems
to prefer practical measures of re-
lief to the families of those who were
lost.
The United States circuit court of
New York having affirmed the con-
stitutionality of the congressional
statute against political assessments
and sentenced General Curtis the
case will be taken on a writ of habeas
corpus to a full bench of the su-
preme court in October. Some of
the civil service reformers think
they have as good a caso against
Hubbell as against Curtis.
There has not been produced a
particle of evidence that oue of the
six Republicans seated in the places
of the ejected Lemocratio congress-
men by the Republican majority had
a legal majority of the votes. The
evidence is all against the black-and-tan
crowd but every Republican
organ is boasting of the "good
work" done by the Republican
party In stealing these six seats.
Any good sized act of robbery is re-
garded as heroic virtue by the Re
publicans.
The men who plow fields and reap
them the men who gather up the
great crops and send them to the
markets the great army of hard
working men are taxed aud heavily
taxed to "protect" a comparatively
little band employed by manufac-
turers and as a result the protected
laborer receives $1.33 for a day's
work. If these laborers must be
protected the duty of protecting
should be laid exclusively on the
capitalists who are getting such
handsome returns on the mouey in
vested iu manufacturing enter
prises.
The prospect is that cougress will
adjourn about the first of August
It would have been better for the
country from an economical stand
point had congress adjourned July
1. The sum of $119202939.22 has
been voted away so far and there is
no telling how much more will be
voted before the first of August
Probably the appropriations will be
fitty millions over those of the last
fiscal year. The excess is due largely
to the pension appropriations and
the river and harbor bill. A princely
sum has been voted away under
these beads and chiefly for dema-
gogical purposes. . Few coujresa
men act from any other motive
than thai of bettering their own
chances of re-election. If they
have many soldier constituents they
think nothing of voting away
a hundred millions for pensions. The
men who really look after the sub-
stantial interests of their constitu-
ent are few in number and the
oilier class should not be surprised
if they happen on a day of wrath
whoeo livid lightning will strike
i-era in a vital prt for the people
will not forever put up with repre
sentatives who devote themselves to
claptrap and represent nothing in
the world save their own selfish
schemes and disgrace themselves by
behavior in congress which would
be a blot on a rustic debating socie
ty. The people have so long per-
mitted the local riugs to name their
congressmen that the rings have be-
come exceedingly strong. It is ap-
parent however that the time has
come for peoplo to overthrow local
machines.
Boston Is a nice place but it has
some bad bakers totally devoid of
true culture it would seem. They
have lately been detected using cotton-seed
oil as a substitute for lard.
Lard is lard in Boston and her ba-
kers know it. The oil mentioned
comes at a little more than half the
price of the lard and this accounts
for its use. Mercenary adulterated
old Boston the next thing we will
begin to Tistrust the purity of thy
baked beans. And with that de-
lectable dish a mystery the last prop
lrom thy reputation will be knocked
higher than Buuker Hill monument
In culture and beans Boston leads
the world. When one becomes
adulterated we can hope for little
from the other. .
Here are some of the wretched
results of Republican rule as predic.
ted by the Philadelphia American.
"The state of Pennsylvania is made
the field of a great trial of the peo
ple's integrity. We shall see now
bow such a trial will De sustained
tor no one can denv the actuality of
the system of personal control uuder
which the state of Pennsylvania has
been bound. Such a system is po
litical slavery and like every in
stance of slavery it has all the atten-
ding circ*mstances of moral decay.
Uuder it the conscience and judg-
meut of the citizen must be surren
dered aud When conscience and
Judgment are given up what remains?
Jnder it Peuusylvania great as she
is in every form of material weaitn
and strong as she is in latent powers
of intellect and character has been
made the mark of national reproach
and contempt. Under it her pressthe
second of the Union were arrayed
until the independent people broke
the arrav iu behalf of a rreat politi
cal conspiracy that was intended to
subvert the primary rights of the
American people aud set up a per-
sonal control of the republic Uuder
it are employed those methods oi
political management which from
the assessment of public officials up
aud down through the long list of
similar means are a stench in the
nostrils of every intelligent aud up-
right mau. Such a system is not
tolerable. It is that which the
American people everywhere are
rising against."
This is the direct result of Repub
lican domination. Uuder pretense
of being "the party of the people"
"the party of the poor man" it crept
into power. Whether controlling
state or national government it has
revealed the same antagonism to a
republican form of government. It
has been the sedulous supporter of
monopolies the persistent promoter
of class legislation the champion of
personal government. The Camer-
ous have only carried out in Pennsyl-
vania the principles of "Boss" rule
aud the spoils system upon which
the Republican party depends for
the retention of its power in national
affairs.
Reminiscences f Garibaldi.
Alberto Mario Maernilllan's Magazine.
Toward the end of June as we
were assembled ou the terrace of the
pavilliou where all the elite of Paler
mo used to irathcr in tho evening in
the hopes of seeing the general
seven haggard and emaciated youths
asked fur me bringing a letter of
presentation from my wife. I hey
were the surviving companions ot
Pisacaue who bad perished with
three hundred of his followers in
the expedition of Sapri (June
1867) aud tiaribaldi's victories
had liberated them from the
dungeons of Farisrniua where
they had been confined for three
rears. They were so changed that
did not recogulze auy of them.
All they asked was to be allowed to
thank their liberator. Garibaldi
was at the moment conversing with
the commodore of the United States
his eyes caressing Enrico Cairoli
then a youth who bad received a
bullet through his head at Calatafimi?
aud was killed on the Monte Parioh
in 1867. The conversation was often
interrupted by presentations by offi-
cers ot the staff of Palermitan ladies
hovering round for a smile or for a
word from the dictator. Profiting
by one of these intervals I announc-
ed "The galley-slaves of Farlg-
naua!" "Where are they? Bring
them to me." As they entered he
took the hand of each and they si-
lently aud many of them in tears
embraced him. The American com
modore gazed in amazement
t their wan faces and tatter-
ed vestments. At last Garibaldi
broke the silence. "Bravo 1 bravo !
I am indeed happy to see you.
Tell me ot l'isacane's glorious end.
If my soldiers sleep in this palace
on the carpets of kings the merit
belougs in great part to Pisacane and
his followers who were our pion-
eers." This justice rendered by
Garibaldi to their beloved chief in-
creased the emotion ot the brave
lads. Seeing them become paler and
paler Garibaldi concluded and
rightly tbat.they were hungry and
bade mo see to their wants. They
were soon seated at the dinner ta-
ble of tho staff iu the pavilion and
finished off a hearty meal with the
confitures and sweetmeats with
which Garibaldi's nuns kept them
constantly supplied. Garibaldi then
distributed some piastres to the
men who immediately asked him to
eurol them iu his ranks. "The un-
dertaking which you say was com-
menced by us In 1857 we wish to
finish with you in 1860. We are
trained sharp-shooters; will you
not enroll us in the corps of the
Carbinier! Oenevesi?" This was
Garibaldi's crack corps but he im-
mediately summoned tne colonel
Mosto who could scarcely be per-
suaded to accept tlte poor fellows
so weak aud helpless did they
look. But of course to Garibaldi's
demand he answered "Yes." Out of
the seven five fell dead or wounded
on the battle-field of Milazzo. After
the battle of Milazzo to my involun
tary reproach tor the manner in
which he bad exposed his lite in a
hand-to-hand duel with a cavalry
officer ho answered : "Don't worry
yourself! our cause would triumph
all the same even if I fell in action;
but I kuow that I shall live to see iu
triumph."
The officers of the railroads lead
ing out of here into Texas are very
busy at present arranging ticket
prices so as to coniorm witn the new
S-cent per mile law for passenger
service la Texas. This law was
fiassed May 6 and will go into ef-
ect August 4. The Iron Mountain
is nearly ready to change rates and
will have completed everything on
August 4 the day on which tne law
taxes effect.

EDITORIAL NOTES.
Will it never get hot enough to
scorch congress oat of Washington ?
The so-called star route trials try
nothing but the patience of the pub-
lic. Free-trade clubs have been organ-
ized in twenty-five counties of Iowa.
Sister Iowa tries to be a good girl
sometimes.
The race horse Bunnymede has
hopelessly broken down. Ayearagjo
the Dwyer Broa ot Saratoga paid
$5000 tor him.
Since the heroic conduct of the
American navy in Alexandria the
boom in washtubs has been enor-
mous and steady.
The only rules that meet exigency
in tho present congress are Speaker
Keifers rulings aud their virtues
lie in their elasticity.
A man in New York pleads guilty
to having been hired by eight differ-
ent wives to watch their husbands
during their absence at Saratoga.
One San Francisco doctor has
found 170 coses ot leprosy coming
from the smoking of cigarettes which
had been rolled by leprous China-
men. Horrible accounts of women carry-
ing the disembodied arms and legs
of massacred Europeans tied to
bludgeons are reported from Tan-
tah Egypt
An attempt was recently made to
kill Senor Sagasta prime minister
of Spain. A box was sent from
Grenada containing nitro-glycerine.
Several arrests made.
John Arnold w rote on an order of
the supreme court at Indianapolis:
"The court may go to the devil" and
sent the document back to the judge.
For this he was Bent to jail for ten
days.
Emma Troup a Nebraska young
lady appeared on the streets in male
attire and was arrested and fined
$10 and costs. Next time she won't

In New York city during the half
year which ended with Juue the
building bureau approved of 1365
plans for new structures estimated
to cost $'.'6048705 and 1998 plans

improvements was $28796237.
The members of the Mississippi
river commission are wise men.
They perform their arduous labors

The association ot the ex-Confede-late
Missourians now living in Tex-
as Louisiana and Arkansas and all
ex-Conlederates who participated

anniversary of the memorable event.
The fugitives who escaped from
Alexandria included 76000 Europe
ans 19000 Syrian Christians and 4500
Jews. It will be readily seen that a
seaport containing so mauy foreign
merchants aud commercial agents as
these numbers presuppose was a
vast and prosperous city before its
destruction.
Judge Woods of the United
States district court for the eastern
district of Texas has pronounced
the ku-klux laws unconstitutional
saying in effect that when a state
has not violated the constitution
congress has no power to punish in-
dividuals who without having au
thority from the state have been
guilty of such violation.
The Greenback candidate for gov
ernor of Tennessee has committed
himself to Colonel Bob Ingersoll's
views of a future state. All ortho
dox Tennessee is torn up about it
and there are plenty of true beuev
ers ready to demonstrate that they
not only have souls to save but
that there is a place were such souls
will be supremely happy. The ques
tion of the immortality of tne soul is
likely to supplant the Greenback fr
naucial theory in Tennessee politics.
WONDERFUL MCI TRACINGS.
The Process of Solar Printing;
Adapted or the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad.
Philadelphia Times.
The Pennsylvania railroad com
pany has adopted a process of copy
ing plans and outlines so simple and
yet so effective as to have an im
portant bearing on all the methods
of engraving lithographing photo-
graphing aud even drawing as at
present conducted. It is what is
known as the "blue print process"
and is a sort of easy photography
by means of which a mere child may
copy in the most perfect and exact
manner any object whatever the lines
of which cau be embraced in the
dimensions ot a large pane of
window-glass for instance. Larger
outlines can be copied but require
more care and a little more appara-
tus. A piece of pure nntinted paper is
taken . and made "sensitive" by
means of a chemical wash consist-
ing of I; ounces of red prusiate of
potash and lj ounces or citric iron
and ammonia dissolved in 16 ounces
of water. This when applied to the
paper in a dark closet by means ot a
broad cloth brush gives a peculiarly
rich glistening yellow surface.
This paper when dry is ready for
printing if at this stage a feru leaf
is taken or a few sprays of grass or
a feather or any drawing executed
on translucent material such as
ouion-skiu paper it may be perfectly
copied in every minute detail with-
in the 8 pace ot four or five minutes.
The object is simply laid on the
paper aud a piece of glass put over
it to hold it in position and then ex-
posed to the meridian sun. The
yellow paper then turns rapidly to
a dull blue then to a light grey
whereupon at the tori no ef paxi
about three minutes it is withdrawn.
But oue thing remains to be done ;
the sensitive paper is given a batb
in pure water and instantly a perfect
copy of the fern leaf grass or draw-
ing appears on the blue surface of
the paper in white as if traced by
hand. The philosophy of the pro-
cess is that the black lines of the
drawing or the filaments of the grass
or fern are opaque and consequent-
ly refuse admittance to the light
which operates upon the open sen-
sitive spaces causing them to under-
go a chemical change. As utilized
by railroads iron companies ship-
builders and architects and artists
however in multiplying their many
maps and plan? and even circular
letters the process becomes a little
more complicated. Instead of mere-
ly placing the design to be printed
over the sensitive sheet and leaving
the rest to the light large glass
frames with wooden lids inside of
which the drawing is placed face
downward and covered with the
sensitive paper. The frame is then
reversed leaving the plan exposed to
the light. A full bright sun is not
absolutely requisite out a longer
time is required for exposure on a
cloudy day. There is one photo-
graphic firm that uses the electric
fight entirely and prints by -night
as well as day. A step further has
been made also in producing a white
background with blue lines.
CAPITOL CUTLLI(GS.
Current Nate Afceut the State
Departments Yesterday.
Captain H. F. Folwell has accepted a
clerkship in the land office.
The Mutual Marriage Aid association
of Paris filed a charter yesterday.
Dr. R. M. Swearingen state health
officer returned yesterday evening.
Hereafter students will be entitled to
only one term in the Sam Houston nor-
mal school at the expense of the state .
J. D. McConncU Esq. has been ap"
pointed district attorney in place of
Cummings recently killed at Laredo.
Colonel A. T. McKinney of Hunts-
ville has been appointed by the governor
university regent vice J. II. Starr who
failed to qualify.
The Marion college of Waxhhatchie
filed a charter. The incorporators are
Chas. E. Brown L. M. Lewis J. Fred.
Cox and Jus. A Walkup.
Colonel A. H. Cook contractor for the
university filed his bond for $39000 yes-
day with Mr. Ed Crbilian and Mr. S.
Loomi8 as surilies. The bond was ac-
cepted. In answer to an inquiry Commissioner
Walsh rules that persons acting as
agents in sending in files on t-clibol
university or asylum lands must seed
powers of attorney with them.
It was reported yesterday that Colonel
Taylor of the capitol syndicate will
reach the city to-day. The apprehen-
sions felt by some of a hitch of some
kind in the capitol construction appear
to have been dissipated by recent events.
Commissioner Spaight has knocked
another insurance company out of time.
Thirteen of the working plates of the
new capitol have been completed and
Colonel Myers was examining them yes-
terday. There are thirty-nine in all aad
it is thought the remaining twenty-six
will be completed within the next six
weeks. The work has been much re-
tarded by the insufficient number of
draughtsmen.
Commissioner Walsh says that he is
receiving letters of inquiry from different
sections of the state which he finds it
difficult to answer inasmuch as they are
from new towns on railroads of which
there is no record sent to the Austin
postoffice from Washington. Letters
are constantly being returned to hnn
from the postoffice here. This difficulty
could be surmounted by giving the name
of the county iu addition'to the town.
Colonel Meyers architect of the new
capitol is now in the city. He states
that he is here for the purp se of inspec-
ting the working plans of the structure
and came at the request of the capitol
commissioners. In answer to an inquiry
of a reporter Colonel Myers disclaims
that his present visit has anything to do
with any explanation regarding alleged
differences between himself and the cap-
itol syudicate. The interrogatory of the
reporter was prompted by a report rath-
er extensively circulated in the city but
which Colonel M.'s answer would seem
to pronounce unfounded.
The following dispatch was sent yes-
terday to the mayor of Brownsville:
"Hon. Thos. Carson:
"If yeliow fever exists in Matamoras
declare quarantine at once and place
guards on the river. If an epidemic
prevails state troops will be sent out to
enforce quarantine. By order of the
governor. Signed R. M. Swearingen
"State Health officer."
In reply to a letter from a leading insur-
ance man giving information that the Flor-
ida mutual fire insurance association of
Micanopy has established agencies at
several points in this state Dotably at
San Antonio and inquiring if said asso-
ciation had complied with the insurance
law paid occupation tax and fees and
received a certiticato of authority to do
business in this state the commissioner
of insurance sent the following letter:

"Dear Sir- You have my thanks
for your prompt information in refer-
ence to the Florida mutual fire insurance
association of Micnnopy. This insur-
ance company has not submitted to this
department the papers required by law
or applied for authority to transact
business in this state and I have there-
fore had no opportunity to examine its
charter and by-laws. But its name suffi-
ciently indicates its character and from
that alone I have no hesitation in derid-
ing that it is clearly within the operation
of the iusurance laws of this state
and that its agents are subject to
prosecution under the act to define who
are insurance agents and to fix the liabil
ity for acting without authority oi law

where tne names oi their agents witn
evidence of the facts have been brought
to my knowledge prosecution has been
ordered through the proper county at-
torney. "In the interest of the revenue no less
than of the unsuspecting public and iu
justice to the legitimate insurance com-
panies that have on plied with our laws

all regular insurance agents to co-operste

SENATOR HILL..
Reports from Atlanta Foreshadow
His Kirly Death.
Washington July 28. An At-
lanta dispatch says: In modern an
nals there has not been a death so full
of horrors as that which Benjamiu
Harvey Hill is suffering nor his
resignation and Christian pbiloso-
fihy exhibited been excel'ed. Slow-
y (lying of one of the most loath-
some of diseases he is yet cheerful
patient and resigned. The patient
is put to sleep every night about 8
o'clock with . hyperdermic in
jections of morphine and does
not awake until ii ociock
the following morning. Three graius
of morphine are administered daily
the patient never being allowed to
come thoroughly tree from its in-
fluence. His food consists of
milk into which the yolks of eggs
have been beateu and a little whisky
added. About three quarts of this
mixture is passed into tho patient's
stomach every day through a tube
no portion of the fluid touching his
palate. The cancer for such it is
acknowledged to be by all but those
who have not had any connection
with the case has destroyed all the
tissues of his throat and mouth on
the left side as well as the lower
jaw or submaxillary bone. The
opening is so large that two or three
fingers pass freely up into the mouth
from below aud the palate can be
seen when the patient is lying dowu
and one approaches him from his
feet. The outer carotid artery is ex-
posed and pulsation is plainly seen.
His mouth is kept constantly filled
with absorbent and antiseptic
cotton which are frequently chauged
as is dressing outside. .No internal
remedy is now given or has any
been administered since the aban-
donment of the French cancer. The
treatment is the injection with blood
purifier and carbonized acid the
object to destroy the cancerous
germs iu the blood. A final change
is now thought will come from shear
exhaustion The soft or connective
tissue has been eaten away aud only
such tough elastic substances as com-
pose the walls of the artery are left
intact. What is left of the tongue is
attached to the right side by a
very slender ligament and
constant fear is felt that
it will become detached and fall into
the patient's throat when asleep and
thus end his'suflering. While yet suf-
ficient strength exists for further
continuance of the contest it the
morphine treatment was suspended
he would soon sink from the effects
of the pain. Now all that can be
done is to alleviate suffering and
prolong the few days which in spite
of his terrible condition he seems to
prize more than those upon which
he gained his glory.
NORRXAl. SCHOOL..'
Circular of Instructions to exam-
ining; Boards.
Colonel O. N. Hollinssworth secreta-
ry of the state hoard of education has
sent out a circular of instructions to sen-
ators and examining boards of candidates
for admission to the Sim Houston normal
institute. From Tt we make the follow-
ing exracts.
qualifications for admission.
The prerequisites of admission are as
follows :
1. A residence in this state.
2. Ladies must not be less than eigh-
teen and gentlemen not less than twenty
years of age.
3. There must be a purpose to follow
in this state teaching as a profession.
4. A pledge must be signed to teach as
many i-cssions in the public free schools
of this state as the party may attend ses-
sions of the institute.
5. Must sustain a satisfactory examin-
ation conducted by a hoard of examiners
appointed by the senators of the respec-
tive distric's of the slate in the following
named branches:
Orthography reading penmanship
arithmetic geography English grammar
English composition and history of the
United Stites in all of which a fair de
gree of proficiency must be demonstrated
in order to warrant an appointment.
TO EXAMINING BOARD.
The sealed package containing printed
lists of questions which will be deliv-
ered to you by jour senator must not be
opened until t lie lime fixed for the ex-
amination to begin.
The examination will begin at 9
o'clock August 2:j 18S2 at which time
all applicants must be present.
Other things being equal let ability to
teach determine the rank.
The board fiesire as far as possible an
equal representation of ladies and gentle-
men. You will please forward to Dr. J.
Baldwin the letters called for in the
twenty-fifth question and a duplicate
list of persons examined same as sent to
your state set.ntor.
The examinations should be chiefly
conducted in writing and with a view
to determine not simply the literary qual-
ifications but to uscerlain as far as prac-
ticable the native talent and availability
of the respective candidates for the pro-
fession of teaching.
It ia respectfully requested that no one
be recommended for appointment whose
scholarship fulls below seventy-five on
the bias of one hundred. No candidate
should be allowed to use a dictionary at
the examination.
The examiners are respectfully request-
ed to report the result of their examina-
tion to the senators of their respective
districts and make such recommendation
in reference to the matter of appointment
as they may deem proper. The degree
of Hcbolarship and such general qualifica-
tions of each candidate as established by
the examination should be clearly set
forth in said report.
Notice should be given as far as prac-
ticable throughout each senatorial dis-
trict of the time and place fixed for
competitive examination; and in the
event of failure by examining board to
recommend any applicants iu any sena-
torial district it will be expected that the
senator will in his discretion with or
without examination appoint suitable
persons as students.
No student will be received in the in-
stitute who upon examination by the
principal shall be found materially de-
ficient in a knowledge of the branches in
which students are required to be ex-
amined. For this reason boards of examiners
are requested not to recommend candi-
dates unless entirely satisfied as to their
qualification.
In selecting students it should be con-
stantly kept in mind that the object of
the establishment of the institute is not
to furnish an education to the students
thereof for the purpose of aiding them in
successfully prosecuting in the future

them a professional training for public
service as teachers in the common free
schools ; hence it is the wish of the s'ate
board of education that candidates who
have been engaged in teaching and who
desire to further qualify themselves for
that vocation as a lifetime profession
fhould be chosen ; provided they have
furnished evidences of qualification equal

The Wool market.
From Brown & Co.'s Boston wool cir
cular we clip the following:
The sales as reported show a consider-
able increase over tho week previous
amounting to a larger aggregate than for
any week since the beginning of the year.
The most notable feature of this increase
is the heavy transitions in spring Cali-
fornia wools viz.: 1204400 pounds as
against only 73000 pounds hist week.
Although the transactions have been
large there has been no excitement in
the market and the general tone has
been quiet with a steady and firm feel-
ing iu values of the staple.
The movement in washed fleeces since
our last report shows some falling off
in the volumes of business transacted.
The current rates of Ohio fleeces do not
show any margin on the prices pre-
viously paid in the country and the "dif-
ference of opinion between the farmer
and dealer as t the value of the wool
has been considerable drawback to their
being marketed. It is probable that not
more than one-third of the clip in that
state has has yet left the growers' hands.
Michigan wools have sold more freely in
the interior at figures about equaVto
those paid in Ohio leanin but a very
small margin to cover the! expense of
marketing them at the seaboard. For
washed eombing and delaine fleeces there
has been a good demand and they are
freely taken as fast as they can be graded
out.

News waa received yesterday about
noon that Judge Noonaa had refused
Ben Thompson bail. This action of the
judge caused much surprise at it was
generally believed that he would allow
Thompson bad. The only recourse left
for Ben ufan appeal to the court of ap-
peals which does not convene however
until October. The district court meets
at San Antonio in September but
whether the final trial will take place at
that time is not known.
