voted to bring school land cases from ail

hi s introduced two biis which have passed
the senate and are now pending in the
house which are of considerable impor-
tance but which stand a fine chance of be
ing left unfinished when the session cuds
One o these is the bill to au- j
thorize the attorney reneral to briin j
suit against purchasers of school
land when purchase monrv or in-
terest remains in inid The commissioner
of the land office has given orders for 2600
of these suits to be brought in various
dies and the labor and ch nse will te
something enormous Under the provis-
ions of the bill all tho defendants in one
county may be joined in one suit thus
saving much time and expense The bill
authorizes the employment of as many at
I torneys as may necessary to assist In the
work The importance of this measure is
recognized by Governor Hogg
sioner McGaughey and Attorney General
i Culberson and it is hoped that the house
in its wisdom may take it up and pass it
AN INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL FOR GIUIS
The other bill referred to is the one pro
j Tiding for the establishment of an Indus
trial school fr girls This bill is drawn
after the Mississippi law now in success-
ful operation and is desismed to furnish an
institution long needed in Texas There is
no reason why young men should be given
er opportunities than young women to
prepare themselves for practical work and
vet there is no institution in the state to do
for the girls what the A and M college is
doing for the boys The members of the
house should view this matter from a
standpoint of justice and equity and do the
right thing in the premises which would
be to pass the bill
A THREE DISCUSSION
It Wu Caused by Shaw WantlujGerald on
the Kereivershtp Committee
Special to the Gazette
Austin Tei April 3 Quite a lively
debate sprung up iu the house to day over
Shaws resolution to put Gerald o i the
enmmittee to investigate the Inter-
national receivership Tho discussion
last d for two or three hours and was par-
ticipated in by several members Although
spirited and spicy on the part of a few it
ended in smoke the house finally conclud-
ing that the committee appointed consist-
ing of McKinney Brietz and Gresham was
good enough Mr Shaw addressed the
house in support of his resolution which
was evidently aimed at the speaker for
omitting Gerald in framing the investigating-
committee
Davis of Falls said that the honor at-
tributed to Judge ieruld for introducing
the resolution might have been his two
weeks ago when he was asked by Harry
i erry to introduce it out refused because
I no sufficient grounds wero suggested to
support it
Brown of Grayson thought that the
speaker did right in overlooking Mr Ger-
ald in framing his committee as his earn-
tioss in behalf of the solution made him
too particular to act on the committee
Mr Baker of Tom Green said that be-
fore going away last Monday Mr Gerald
told him that he wished to be chairman of
the committee and asked him to mention
the fact to Speaker Milner He Baker
declined to do that but saw no good reason
why Judge Gerald should not be added to
the committee as the mover in all such
matters is as a rule made chairman of the
c ramittec to investigate
Mr Doggett arose and held up a letter
which he saiil had been written to Senator
Johnson by a Tyler friend and which stated
that the Tyler gentleman had returned
home with assurance irivn them at Austin
that neither Senator Johnson or Mr Gerald
would be put on the investigating
mittee The orator did not like that and
thonghl that somebody must be afraid of
Mr Gerald
Mr Gossett thought the speaker did right i A t
in ignoring Mr Gerald as putting hirn on ail ho
the committee would be equivalent to theft
ing tne cniei prosecutor the judge in a given
case The resolution had the trail of the
steering committee over it any way and its
authorship was unknown
Owsley said that Gerald had him made
chairman of the committee to report what
I action the house should take on this resolu
1 tion He had been treated fairly There
j was a point where his chairmanship of -he
committee should stop He was an honest
man but the speaker had appointed three
of the best and purest men in the house on
the investigating committee and he had
therefore done his duty by the house
Mr Owsley saii that it was intimated
around that those who were resiKinsible for
the original resolution and wished only to
explode a bomb to do what harm it may to
adopt Shaws resolution It would said
he be a discourtesy to the speaker ana to
the committee which he had appointed
Terrell said that he believed that if
Gerald were here and heard all this that he
would decline to go on the committee and
that LheRogan resolution should be adopted
Shaw defended his resolution in a vigor-
ous manner as a duty which he owed to
justice to his friend Gerald who had been
wrongfully ignored m the framing of the
committee

the Italian government but indicates very
clearly that they are not anxious to main-
tain a vigorous and aggressive attitude if j
the United States can not be bluffed If J
advices from Home are correct as to the
reference by Rudini to Blaines i
edgement concerning the indemnity there j
is still au opening for a misunderstanding i
on that point Blaine has not acknowl

demnity to the families of the dead Italians
but he has acknowledged the principle of

KILLING OF FOREIGN SUBJECTS
in this country Helms not yet
edged that these in- i who were killed at
New Orleans were Italian subjects and he
cannot give the assurance tuat congress

It will be very awkward for the Italian I
premier to stop in his ascension on tho
wings of injured dignity and remain sus-
pend 1 in mid air but if he should find it
I expedient to do so and matters should end
at nearly a rupture of diplomatic relations
there ili be cause for serious regrets Tho
I fact of two countries being on unfriendly
terms and that the Italians could not feel
that they had the protection of their home
government while upon o ir soil would
probably discourage Italian immigration for
a while and possibly cause some of those
who are now here to depart Men who
have been making a study of the
tion question think that almost anything
that would shake the iiilinx of Italian
paupers and criminals into this country

Italys listnke
New Yoke April 3 Last night the Sun
I received from high official authority a true
I explanation of the vacillating course which
Italy has pursued in first recalling Min-
ister Fava and threatening war and
i then meekly admitting by dispatch from
i Rudini to Imperali that Secretary Blame
I had ail along been ready to make repara
tion for tho itiian or the Italians and tuat I
Italy had been too hasty The explanation 1 i
is that froi i the time Baron Fava first re-
ccived instructions to present his letters of I
recall until the day he did so he was
earnestly urging his government to de lay j
taking such an important step and holding
out promises of au amicable settlement of
the controversy This of course followed
for nine or en days On Tuesday he was
peremptorily ordered to delay no longer
He thereupon presented his instructions to
Secretary Rlaine He returned to his
lodging and was astounded to find there a
cablegram instructing him to withhold his
letter until the report of further orders
It was soo late however as news of his
recall had been ofScialy promulgated and
spread world wide The date of this in-
operative telegram shows that it was
decided upon after the return of Premier
Rudini to Rome and after his interview
with Minister Porter It will be remem-
bered that Rudini was absent from Rome
for two or three days during the pendency
I of negotintors between Fava and Blaine j
a while Minister Porter was attempting j
to have Favas appeal for delay listen i
to It is therefore perfectly plain in the J
light of the explanation and dispatch from J
B oi to Imperiali last night that on
day iast the Italian ft i I became i
convinced that it had mat a mistake an
that aftvr two Ja s reflection they de- j
tern tned that the course of wisdom was to
officially aumi the mistake
