Governor Sayers yesterday
afternoon issued the following
appeal for aid of the starving
sufferers of Starr and Zapata
counties:
"To the People of Texas.
"Information has reached me
that there great and widespread
suffering among the people of
Zapata and Starr Counties on
account of the very severe and
protracted drouth which has pre-
vailed in thai section of thestate.
I therefore urgently appeal to
you to immediately contribute to
their relief. All m <neyu .d.ieild
be sent to Hon. T'. \\ . Seabury,
Rio Grande < ity, Texas, who will
nee to their [iroper expenditi.ro.
Supplies other than money should
bo forwarded to Messrs. .1. \ ille-
gas Hro., Laredo, Texas, who
wii! provide fur their shipment
to reliable parties in these coun-
ties. The railroad companies of
the State are requested t< > pro-
vide free transportation for the
supplies.

thought to be sick with small
pox.
Knrroii Anvi utisku:
vents in Congress during the
past week have operated to scr-
iuusly discredit the War Depart-
ment and Secretary Root, and
the Senate ('.immittee on Military
Affairs has expressed its disap-
proval by a vite whic h is almost
an affront to the President and
his favorite Secretary. I refer
tn the refusal <>f tlio C uninittee
In report favorably the nomina-
tion of Captain Crozier as Chief
of the < )rdnance P.ureau. Through
the publication, at the demand of
Congress, of the correspondence
between General Miles and the
President, the Senate Philippines
Committee became aware that,
while tlie Secretary of War had
professed t«i submit to the Com-
mittee all the reports touching on
j military affairs in the Philippines,
| lie had withhel I that of the civil
' governor of Tabayas, which re-
flected seriously on the military
ounduct in th" islands, A reso-
iluti'ui of the Philippines Com-
mittee brought the report* with a
very feeble excuse fr un Secre-
■ tary Root.
The Senate Committee on Mili-
tary Affairs i* indignant because
the Secretary withheld from it
the report on the transp >rt ser-
vice which afterwards was sent
t the House on the demand of
that chamber. The report con-
tains unquestionable evidence of
gross extravagance of adminis-
tration, political favoritism, etc.
That these facta shoul 1 have
been made known only by the in-
tervention of the democrats, who
introduced the resolution calling
upon the Secretary for the re-
ports, is a source of mortification
and chagrin to the republicans
who appreciate that the onus of
'suppressing information to which
the public is entitled, rests upon
them. While space will not per-
mit a recitation of the many dis-
graceful facts which the reports
reveal, it may be said that they
bear evidence among other things
that the expenditure of large
sums of money was entrusted to
political favorites without the
slightest qualifications for 'heir
disbursement; that, for instance,
was paid for the trans-
port "Meade,' a vessel already
twenty-seven years o 1 d and
which has since requirred repairs
which have cost upward of 8r.sn,-
000. According to(ien. Young,
preference was shown to particu-
lar firms and go ids purchased
through them which they charg-
ed, in some instances, 100 per
cent more than the current mar-
Ket price. Kxtensive purchases
Were m ide fr mi polit ical favorites
without competition or even the
supervision of a competent offi-
cer.
The refusal of the Senate Com-
mittee on Military Affairs to ap-
prove the nomination of Captain
Crozier to be <'11ief i f the (Ord-
nance !>ureau is believed tnli ive
even more serious sij,i:ifieanee
than the repudiation of the Sec-
retary of War and it \s.is rumor-
ed about the Capitol ye-terday
that it was the beginning of an
organized warfare on the Presi-
dent by senators who object to
the former's autocratic methods
and his refusal to appoint their
political henchmen to govern-
ment positions. It is a well-re-
cognized fact that were Mr.
Roosevelt ooliged to depend up ni
iho republican politicians for re-
nomination his chances would be
absolutely nil, and it is believed
by Home that the senators, having
become exasperated, have deter-
mined to discredit the Chief l\x-
ecutive by opposing his nomina-
tions iii the Senate,
T h e President's energetic
championship of Cuban recipro-
city in a cause of serious annoy-
ance to a number of republican
senators. They say, with good
reason, that if the party makes a
cut on the only tariff schedule
which does or can protect the
farmers and leaves intact those
schedules which are recognized
as protecting the Steel Trust and
other gigantic corporations, their
Western constituents will lose all
faith in the party and will hear-
ken to the democratic contention
that ihe republican party is do-
minated by the great monopolies
and stands ready to sacrifice thi* |
interests of the people rather j
than those of the trusts. This
view is believed to beheld by';
Senator Allison and many other
Western senators and, while they |
propose to oppose the Cuban re-
ciprocity bill when ii comes from
the House, they are indignant
that the President should have
put them in the position of disre-
garding tho p >pular clamor for
the relief of Cuba on the one
h ind, or of laying themselves
open to the charges specified on
the other.
(in Tuesday the 1 louse of Rep-
resentatives took up the Cuban
reciprocity bill and is now con-
sidering it in the Committee of
the Whole. The democrats will
make every effort to amend the
bill so that it may reduce the tar-
iff on the steel schedules and Mr.
Iturleson of Texas will endeavor
to have the reduction apply to all
of those products which are used
especially by the farmers. A
contingent, led by Representa-
tive Tawney of Minnesota, will
attempt to have the differential
on refined sugar removed so that
the consumers may profit by a
' reduction of the price. M r. 1 'ayne,
I in his opening speech on the bill,
was forced to admit that the con-
sumers paid the tariff on sugar
and his statement will be taken
as a basis for the action. While
it is feared that, under the ty-
rannical Reed rules, the bill will
be forced through the House
without amendment, the demo-
crats will leave no plan untried in
their efforts to secure for the con-
sumer some advantage from the
tariff reduction.
The testimony which General
Mac Arthur offered to the Philip-
pines Committee o n Tuesday
caused consternation among thei
republicans, (ieneral MacArthur
stated that he did not regard the
Filipinos as a cruel, corrupt and
degraded race but as men having
ideals, susceptible to American
influence and, in a word, as men
very near a point where they
might be trusted with self-gov-
ernment. The (ieneral also took I
occasion to protest against the
awarding of all franchises, except
those for railroads, before the
Filipinos had a voice in their
disposition.
The bill recently reported to
the House by the Committe > on
C' linage and Ranking is regard-
ed as a d<>snerate effort on the
part of the republicans to induce1
the democrats to forcibly express
themselves on the currency ques- 1
tion so as to afford the republi-
cans an opportunity to make that
a campaign issue. There is little
likelihood, however, that the
democrats will be led into the
trap.
The information coming from
Kansas that 1,1)00,000 acres of
wheat have been killed, leaving
only 5,000,000 available, is /lis-
tressing, but the public feels re-
lieved that the f ,(H)O,000 are at
its disposal.-Austin Paily States-
