Washington June 3 Representative
Stewart of Texas arrived in the city this
morning
Yes he said in reply to a question
prohibition is stirring up Texas furi-
ously It is a political question but not
a party one Senator ReaganexSenator
Maxey Representative Culbersoni and
other prominent Democrats have come
out for prohibition They take that po-
sition as citizens advocating what they
consider the best interests of their state
and not as Democrats Senator
Coke maintains that it is not a
party question and he is in
accordance with the declaration of our
Democratic state convention which last
year on local option practically the same
question declared that it was not a party
question No I dont think the agitation
will have any effect upon state politics
next year unless prohibition should carry
state even then I dont know that it
would distract the Democrats any but I
am apprehensive of it
What do the people of your stale
think of the President
The reply was The Texas delegates
will be unanimous for his renomination
and on that subject I can speak of the en-
tire south The whole south is for
Cleveland There is no opposition to
him and in the convention he will have
the solid hearty enthusiastic support of
our people Ills popularity increases as
the people know more of him lie has
iiiven the country an economical situa-
tion and in the national convention next
year he will be renominated by acclama-
tion lie will be nominated and re-
elected
Representative Sayers of Texas who
has just come from his home to attend
the commencement exercises at Annap
ojls as one of the board of visitors to the
Naval academy was also interviewed
lie corroborated all that Mr Stewart
said in regard to Democratic enthusiasm
for the President in Texas He said
there was but one sentiment in that state
as to the next canv tss ana that was for
Cleveland
Botn Texas members being asked how
tne interstate law had affected their sec-
tion said the tailroads made it a pretext
for increasing their tariff rates but the
people understood that the object was
to make the law obnoxious The law will
be strengthened by the next Congress
By that time Congress will be able to
determine from its practical workings
just where the law needs to be amended
in order to make it more efficient

Attempts Mads to Uribo tho Jnrors in tho
Sharp Caco
New York June 3 When the Court
of Ojer and Terminer opened this morn-
ing for the trial of Jake Sharp there were
only eleven jurors in the box District
Attorney Martine today corroborated the
statement that attempts had been made
by somebody to bribe the jurors
in this case and that that
wa3 the reason for excusing Mr McLemie
and Mr Caldwell He also corroborated
the report of the attempt to corrupt Mr
Rupfelder on the first panel To a re-
porter Peter Mitchell of counsel for the
defense said When I made this state-
ment you may depend that I have proof
of what 1 say Emissaries of the dis-
trict attorney have been at work in these
ca es so as to give the impression that
defendants have been attempting to iix
the jurors that they might lock them up
Tne clerk of the court after proceed-
ings were opened announced that wit-
nesses present on the case would
be excused until Monday which deli
nitely determines that the actual trial of
the case will not begin before that time
even though a jury be obtained be ore
After a number of jurors had been ex-
cused Mr Parsons read this statement to
the court Tne attention of counsel for
Sharp has been called to a report whicn
appeared in the newspaper last evening
imputing to some one a wish and efforts
to affect the jurors We were
grateful to the court for its instruc-
tions to jnrors on Friday last that
if they supposed that any such approach
was made it would be brought
to the attention of the court Any such
imputations are ii jurious to the jurors
It assumes the posibiity that improper
overtures could be addressed to them It
is injurious to Sharps counsel It as-
sumes they would countenance such pro-
ceedings but it is most injurious to Mr
Sharp It tends to deprive him of that
fair trial which is his right
We have come here to try
his case according to modes pre
scribed by law Any Interference by out-
side statements is contempt of court and
is within its control We dont object
to the utmost publicity of proceedings in
court We cant perhaps prevent the
prejudicing of the case by newspaper re-
porters but specific statements of as-
sumed facts go beyond the privilege of
the press
MrMartine said that as a public pros
secutor he must make some response
Counsel had read to the court
his views The difficulty is that the
statements are founded on facts
Mr Martine then gave the details of the
attempt to influence Juror Smith who
had occupied a seat there in the box The
matter Mr Martine said had been traced
back to Mr Lynch who is a great friend
of Mr Sharp The District Attorney in-
stanced other cases The court ordered
that all persons named by Mr Martine as
being parties to the attempt should ap-
pear in court Monday morning when the
charges will be investigated
The remainder of the day was occupied
in fruitless efforts to complete the jury
Before adjourning court Judge Barrett
made a short address to the counsel in
the case in the course of which he called
their attention to the fact that 1400 tales
men had been summoned and that with
every fresh panel more and more persons
disqualified for jury service were found
I have ordered the clerk to enter a fine
of 6100 against every talesman summon-
ed who has not answered to his
name continued his honor and
I intend to have each of these
men summoned to show cause why he
should not be punished for contempt of
court I will examine the offenders in
the first 700 summoned Monday morning
and those of the second 700 Tuesday
morning If they do not then respond I
will see what virtue there is in an attach-
ment The Judge then again warned
the jury to avoid conversation with any
whosoever on the subject of the trial
and sternly desired them to immediately
inform the court of any verbal or written
attempt to influence their verdict Ad-
journed till Monday

Tnn CATriEDltAI PANIC
Chihuahua Mes June 3 Great con-
sternation prevails on rcconnt of the
panic of Wednesday m the Cathedral in
which three children and two women
were killed and sixty persons were in-
jured Tnat such a calamity could occur
is astounding es the Cathedral is a mas-
sive stone structure with three broad
aisles and no chairs or benches to impede
egress The altar is of stone The Images
and wooden supports of the candles and
the drapery about twenty feet high be-
neath the dome are the only inflammable
material in the building After the can-
dle that set Are to the drapery of
the altar had fallen the fhmes were im-
mediately extinguished The smothering
of the fire produced considerable smoke
and vapor at which the inmates became
frantic in many cases probably the result
of superstition Small children and
kneeling old women the most absorbed
in worship and unapprehensive of pend-
ing danger constituted the unfortunate
victims Some witnesses assert that had
it not been for several policemen closing
the doors ns soon as they heard the
screams of the frantic crowd there would
have been no loss of life
