ments to the Indian Appropriation Bill.
Seven millions More to the
World's Fair.
S a NATE.
Washington April 12. After the
routine morning business the resolu
tlon offered yesterday by Senator
Stewart in relation to the purchase of
silver and a coinage standard of silver
dollars was taken up and amended
(on motion of Senator Sherman) by in
sorting the words "and detailed state'
ment of amount purchased each day."
Senator Stewart proceeded to address
the Senate on the subject. The reso
lution went over until tomorrow
Senator Morgan expressed his inten
tion to speak upon it for a brief period
The joint resolution introduced by
Senator Palmer proposing a constitu
tional amenement for the election of
United States senators by popular
vote was taken up and Senator Chand-
ler addressed the Senate in opposition
to it. The resolution was referred to
the committee on privileges and elec-
tions and the Senate having passed a
number of bills on the calendar ad
journed.
HOUSE.
Washington D. C April 12
The senate amendments to the Indian
appropriation bill were non concurred
in.
Mr. Allen of Mississippi asked unan
imous consent for the introducing of a
resolution appropriating $50000 for the
sufferers of the Tombigbee river ana
its tributaries.
Mr.' Kilsrore of Texas u nd
the resolution was referred.
Mr. Cooper of Indianna rose to a
personal explanation in relative to
the testimony taken by the Raum iu-
. vestiffation committee and not only
-defended himself from the charges of
Having usea nis position io muueuue
the pension offlce but rnaae an at
tack upon the commiss
iouer of pensions. He was frequently
interrupted but finally succeeded fin-
ishing his speech. It made no
sensation. Messrs. Reel Allen and
Wilson were appointed conferees on
the Indian aporopnatlon Din.
The House then went into com-
mittee of the whole (O'Farrell of Vir-
ginia in the chair) on the urgent de-
ficiency apportionment bill.
Takinsr advantage of the scope

Missouri nrougnt up me suver uuoa-
tion bv sendinsr to the clerks desk
and having read a letter from Senator
Palmer to a Chicago paper in which
he declared the Bland bill was not a
free coinage measure. He (Bland) aid
not fear accusation being actuated by
the silver rinsr. There were other
rinffs in this country and when gen
tlemen declined to listen to the voice
of the people and listen to the tickers
of Wall street they belonged to the
gold ring. The silver bill is not in the
interest of the great masses of the peo-
ple. The committee then rose and the
bill passed.
The House asain went into a com
mittee of the whole (Shively of Indi-
ana in the chair) on the naval appro-
priation bill. Without action the
committee rose and the House ad-
jo ed.
RAUM INVESTIGATION.
Washington April 12. Repres-
entative Cooper of Indiana today
made a statement before the House
Pension Investigation committee in
denial and explanation of the charges
made against him by Commissioner
Raum. Mr. Cooper said he would
neither excuse nor justify Herseys's
conduct but from the facts it would be
seen that he (Cooper) had infinitely
more cause for complaint than any
one else and ha had not the slight-
est responsibility therefor. The
witness needing assistance employed
Hersey at $200 per month and gave
him the necessary authority to use
his name on congressional call slips.
Whatever Hersey had done in the
way of selling pension information
' had been done without his knowl-
edge or consent. Mr. Cooper referred
to the charge that he authorized
Waring and Slusher to print his sig-
nature on thousands of fictitious con-
gressional call slips which had been
thrown in waste basket
by commissioners Beach
and Tarrant. Mr. Cooper said
Waring had been mentioned for the
Republican nomination in his (Coop-
ers') district and when witness be-
came congressman in 1889 Waring
who had extensive pension business
zioma f. him n.n A Raid he desired use
witness name calling up cases of
"The hoys."
ALABAMA NOT FOB CLEVELAND.
Anril 12. Consrress-
man Gates who has returned from
Alabama alter KnocKing oui an aui-
zances in his district says: "My peo-
ple are giving a good deal of attention
to the presidential question but it has
been decided that twenty-two dele-
gates who will be elected to represent
Alabama at Chicago will not be in-
structed for Cleveland. He has many
friends In Alabama but there is a
very general feeling that we should
throw both Cleveland and Hill to the
winds on account of factional troubles
in New York. We want a man who
can win and who is that man?
There are several men who could
be named. Our people are discussing
Gorman Boies and others but as I
say the delegation will not be in-
tructed." "How has the defeat of the silver
bill been received?"
"It has been disappointing because
the people believe free coinage of sil-
moons mnrA mnnftv in circulation.
UAV7ua " ZZ '
but it is foolish to say that Georgia or
Alabama will go over to the Third
party because of the defeated bill. It
is possible that for one cause or an-
other the two Carollnas will be car-
ried by the Third party candidate
but I do not think there is any danger
of the Democrats losing anyt other
Southern state."
MILLER'S POLITICAL TOUR.
Washington April 12. The de-
parture of Attorney General Miller
for his tour through the South to in-
spect the judicial districts of Louisiana '
and Texas is looked upon as possibly
having also some political bearings.
The situation in Louisiana is looked
upon by representatives here as ex-
tremely important now and if the
little squabbles in the Republican
ranks there can be healed and
the big ones in the Democratic party
kept going the chances of Republican
success -is looked upon as almost sure.
Hence the important work that an
experienced and careful man
who speaks by authority
can do on the necessity of
selecting a new district attorney at
New Orleans and the prospect of a
general overhauling of the postofflce
and customhouse tbere gives an op-
portunity for a keen tactician to do
some work in solidifying the Republi-
can party of Louisiana. The Repub-
licans here are fully alive to the situa-
tion. The immense importance of
carrying the state and getting control
of the election machinery there in
time for an effort to pull Louisiana
into line in November. It is expected
at least Miller will not be asleep to the
situation whilo in Louisiana and it
would not be surprising to see some
important results in the way of Re-
publican harmony as a result of his
visit.

KICKED TO DEATH.
A Fistic Encounter Ends
in a Sorrowful
Funeral.
Special to The Statesman.
Gatesville Tex. April 12. Quite
a surprising and singular killing oc-
curred last night three miles West
of Gatesville on Sedwick and Comp-
ton's sheep ranch between Jim Hall
and John Stagner. They quarreled
abjut pening some sheep. Blows fol-
lowed words In which Stagner knock-
ed Hall down several times and walk
ed off for ten steps when a witness
who was a short distance off milking
a cow heard fighting again.
Looking he saw Hall down on the
ground on his knees and Slagner
over him with one hand on the back
of his neck holding him down and
kicking him in the bowels with his
foot. Hall gave a gurgling sound as
if about to vomit and sunk to
the ground . and was dead in-
stantly. Doctors Bayne and Roby
made a post mortem examination this
morning. They found a slight bruise
on the cheek bone and the upper part
of his left ear and two ugly bruises
just above the public bone. They
opened his bowels and found his blad-
der ruptured. On injecting water
through the ewretha it would pass on
through the bladder into the bowels.
It is the opinion of the physician
that the shock caused in rupturing
the bladder produced Instant death.
Stagner gave himself up. When he
found Hall lifeless at his feet he pick-

FIRE AT L0NGVIEW.
An Incendiary Fiend Destroys Some Happy
Homes.
Special to the Statesman.
Longview April 12. An $8000
blaze visited our place last night at
two o'clock destroying two dwelling
houses and a livery stable and wagon
yard. The fire originated in H. May's
kitchen and was undoubtedly the
work of a malicious incendiary. The
kitchen was saturated with coal oil
and the fire was beyond control imme-
diately. Mrs. H. May had visited the dining
room adjoining the kitchen between
which was an open door just fifteen
minutes before the fire to get some
medicine she being sick and no fire
was seen. The lady beard the noise
of these rascals but thought it was
dogs and dismissed the idea of fear
from her mind.
The losers are: J. W. Yates $1590
insured in the North British and Me-
chanic for $1000; Mrs. N. A. Leake
$1000 insured in the American Eire of
Philadelphia for $500; H. May$10O
insured in the Phoenix of Brooklyn
for $800; L. Litcher $1000 carried by
the Lancaster for $500.

A Coast Barge Line
Special to the Statesman.
Galvhston Tex.. April 12. A syn
dicate is projecting a plan for the es
tablishment of an ocean barge line
between all gulf ports similar to the
one now in operation between ports on
the north Atlantic coast. An agent
of this syndicate is now Jin Jthe 'city
investigating the character and ton-
nage and draught of vessels engaged
in the gulf coast trade and will visit
other ports in Texas with the same ob-
ject. The establishment of this
barge line will largely depend upon
the character of his report It Is
claimed merchandise and freight can
be transported by barges much cheap-
er and more expeditiously than is now
being done by coasting vessels.

THE LILY WHITES.
REPUBLICAN MA8S CONVENTION AT
DALLAS YESTERDAY.
Sambo Was Not In It Nor was the White
Kan Who Hugs Him at the Polls.
Seme Pertinent Remarks Hade
About Pure Democracy
Sp dal to The Statesman.
Dallas Texas April 12- The Re-
publican league clubs of Texas held
their meeting in Dallas' this after-
noon. There were about 150 persons
in attendance different portions of
the state being represented. There
was not a negro present. The remark
was made by some of the spectators
that it was the most respectable Re-
publican state gathering they " had
ever seen. At the outset the meeting
was resolved into a state Republican
mass convention.
Capt. J. S. Wright of Paris was
elected temporary chairman and com-
mittees were appointed on permanent
organization and on addresses. The
spirit of the meeting was brought
out in a speech by Mr. Henry Klein
of Houston which was. applauded
throughout. In substance he said the
time had come when a crisis in Re-
publicanism in Texas had been reach-
ed. The party has been dwindling in
Texas for 20 years. Repu blicans have
been coming in from other states and
there is a natural increase but
still the party is less than twenty
years ago. Why? Because the
Republican party of Texas is so small
that it is not respectable to belong to
it. Neither is there a Democratic
party in Texas notwithstanding the
claim of 150000 majority. The Jeffer -soniau
doctrines that the least
government is the best etc is hot
the platform of Texas Democracy to-
day. The two parties of Texas are
simply the negro people and
the white man's party. Who
ever heard of a non
tical
party being split like
the Democratic party is todav? Did
you ever hear anything like the scor-
ing that the Hogg and Clark men
give each other? The white men for
the most part join the so-called Demo-
cratic party. If there is not a chance
soon I will have to be one of the white
man's party. Are you ready to assert
the supremacy of the white man in
Texas Republicanism? (Cries of yes
yes.)If so let it get rid of negro
domination. My God when I think
of the Austin convention The
negroes have got control of the party
machinery and the delegates. It has
become so that a white man cannot
afford to attend a Republican conven-
tion and then return to his family
fireside. Negroes are not capable of
self government. When down they
are the meekest creatures on earth
but when up they are the
most domineering. We must
rescue the party from them.
At the conclusion of Mr. Klein's ad
dress the convention adjourned till 8
p. m. and tne state league was called
to order by Mr. JNewcomb and pro
ceeded to elect new officers and also
delegates to tue national league con
ventinn the time and place of holding
which is yet to be determined.
Mr. A. J. Houston was elected pres
ident oi tne State .League. He was
nominated as being the son of the
father of Texas republicanism General
Sam Houston. Messrs. John Nevens
of Denison L P. "Goodell of Fort
Worth and C. G. White of Tyler were
elected vice presidents.
TEXAS LUMBERMEN'S CONVENTION

There are between two hundred and
three hundred lumber dealers and
lumber manufacturers in the city at

ation which began its session here
yesterday morning. This class of
business men are not as well known
in this part of the Lone Star State as
in the prosperous piney woods of
East Texas where so many of
them have their homes. The lumber
districts of Louisiana are also well
represented here and taken alto
gether the attendance is very satisfac-
tory although 1000 invitations were
sent out. These conventions have it
is believed resulted in much benefit
to the lumber industry of Texas here
tofore and it is confidently expected
that further important action will be
taken at the present meeting which
will tend to further advance the inter
ests of the organization throughout
the state. Tne majority or tnose
in attendance are making their
headquarters at the Monger
and an informal conference was held
there yesterday morning at 9 o'clock
between several of those who had ar-
rived up to that time. There was no
business of a public nature however
transacted at that meeting. The gen
eral meeting of the association was
called to order at about 11:30 o'clock
by President Gribble. B. F. Cobb
was the first to address the assem-
blage and introduced Mayor Callagh-
an who made a brief address of wel-
come granting the visiting delegates
the freedom of the city. He further
made a few remarks of the advantages
San Antonio possesses and was loud
ly applauded.
Mr. Gribble president of the as
sociation arose and thanking the
mayor for his kindness said that his
courtesy will be highly appreciated
and the visiting delegates will have a
good word for Hun Antonio wherever
they go. -
Secretary Drake then asked that
dues be settled and many responded
and he announced that a trip to the
City of Mexico will be made after the
convention. Some 60 delegates are
expected to constitute the party to
Mexico.
Following this the list of delegates
together with the lumber firms they
represent and their respective cities
was read. The morning session then
adjourned until 2-.30 p. m.
The afternoon session was rinvntnri
to the presentation of Secretary
"i a icjjuii nuu aiso nis report as
treasurer. After hearing a few com-
mittee reports the session adjourned

THE MISSISSIPPI FLOODS.
Yesterday's Reports of Fatalities and Dam
ages to Property Confirmed.
New Orleans April 12. Owing to
a lack of telegraph communication
deteils of the terrible flood in the vi
cinity of Columbus Miss. not ob-
tained. From information received
from other sources the reported
drowning of 100 negroes is confirmed.
The president of the board of" super
visors of Lowndale county Miss. has
sent a telegram to Hon. John Allen
now in Washington saying hundreds
of people were drowned by the floods
of the lombigbee river and thousands
are homeless. Besides the destruc-
tion of all the cattle and stock in the
region he states is beyond the means
of the people to relieve the distress
and asked if Mr. Allen could not se-
cure government aid. A special from
Grenada Miss. says: Reports of
damage by recent floods continue to
come in from all directions. Most of
the bridges in the country were wash-
ed away. A very sad report of tjie
drowning of a young lady at Tuscaho-
ma Ferry twenty miles west of this
city today. Miss Price aged eighteen
while attempting to row a boat from
her house which was surrounded by
water six feet deep was thrown out
by the rushing water and drowned.
She was in quest of food. Special dis-
patches to the Times-Democrat this
morning from Montgomery say rain
which has been falling again from
Gadsden to Montgomery only adds to
swell the Ala river which reached
forty-five feet above high water. All
the low lands are now under water.
Damage to eotton will not be great as
very little is as vet planted. The
