STATUS OF THE A. P. A.
President W. J. FI. Traynor in North
American Review.
The American protective association is
the strongest and purest ipolitcal force
that the western world ever knew. It
grew from the parent stem of pure mo-
tives and patriotism. It is intensely hu-
man and, therefore, very imperfect, yet
imperfect as it is there is nothing like it
in the world. It holds the political bal-
ance of power in the United States?, with
its membership of nearly. 2,500,00'0 per-
sons, who influence at least 4,000,000
votes.
Finally, it should not be forgotten that
95 per cent of the members of the order
are Americans first, A. P. A.’s next, and
elements of party last of all; and that,
should the old parties -refuse to publicly
recognize and indorse the essential prin-
ciples of the order, an independent presi-
dential candidate is not only a possibility,
but an absolute certainty, even though
' such a course should lead to the defeat of
the dominant political party and the or-
ganization itself.

The Day We Are to Celebrate in
Galveston.
A BRAIN BAKE.
At Mr. • Ed Ketchum’s residence to-
morrow at 2 p. in. a party of choice and
loyal patriots will assemble on the lawn
to enjoy a bean bake, uncork oratory
and other things appropriate to the occa-
sion and generally do honor to “the day
we celebrate.”
This bean bake has come to be a feat-
ure of great interest to those who partici-
pate, and the event tomorrow is expected
to eclipse all former affairs.

vices received here large quantities of
arms, ammunition and other munitions
of war were safely landed, and are now
in the hands of the rebels.
DANIELS FOR SECOND.
Chicago', Ill., July 3.—Among the dele-
gates 'and politicians already arrived for
the Democratic national convention there
is to be heard little or no- vice presiden-
tial gossip. 'Ehe selection of a man for
the tail end of the ticket will depend al-
together upon the location geographically
of the presidential nominee, and for this
reaison the vice presidency will be neg-
lected until after -the head of the 'ticket is
chosen. The inside sentiment, however,
continues to favor the choice of an east-
ern or southern man, and as everything
points to- a man from the west or middle
west for the head of the ticket, the es-
tablished rule mentioned will not militate
against this plan. But whenever

GUATEMALAN REBELS.
New York. N. Y., July 3.—A .special -to
the. Herald -from Guatemala says the dis-
turbance in Chiquimula, Secapa depart-
ment, i-s believed to- amount to- little. The
government is acting vigorusly in -sub-
duing the rebels.
The report here is that the uprising
took place in Chiquimula, Jesus Portillo
being killed. There are a great many
wild rumors afloat as to the extent of
rhe revolution, and it is difficult to obtain
at this -time anything like reliable infor-
mation.
Government officials assert that it is
only a slight disturbance, and will easily
be quelled. A large body of troops and
artillery have been sent to the front. Se-
capa, which, within a month or two1, will
be the -terminus of the Guatemala North-
ern railroad, until built to this city, and
which is the base of supplies for si’everal
-departments, is reported to> be in -the
hands of the revoluitionists, and it is also
sai-d-tha.t they have captured at this point
8000 stands of arms, but this is doubted.
In this city everything is quiet, and it is
difficult to- say just what 'the outcome will
be. It is the unanimous wish of foreign-
ers, especially Americans, that no seri-
ous disturbance may take- place, and -that
the present administration, with Gen.
Reyna Barrios at the head, will continue,
for he 'has introduced many needed re-
forms, -good roads, public buildings, rail-
ways, etc.
GOVERNORS FIRED.
New York. N. Y.. July 3.—A special to
the Herald from Phillipi says the sult'an
has dismissed the- goyernor of Damascus,
and ha® ordered him to be tried by court
martial. He is accused o-f being respon-
sible for the -revolt of the Druses.
The Socieite- de Navigation has refused
to- transport Turkish troops unless it re-
ceives immediate payment from the gov-
ernment. The -treasury, ho'wever is com-
pletely empty.
The situation in Crete is becoming more
complicated every d'ay, the sultan, in spite
of the opposition, of the diplomatic corps,
insists upon calling the Hamidije regi-
ments to Constantinople. He has re-
ceived menacing letters from members
of the Young Turk party, demanding the
immediate introduction of certain urgent
reforms.
Redwin Pasha, governor, of Constanti-
nople, has been dismissed.
ADRIFT NINE DAYS.
-St. Johns, N. F., July 3.—The customs
revenue for the colony for the quarter
ending June 30, was $402,000. against
$282,000 for the same quarter last year,
but only an average when compared with
returns for similar periods in the paislt five
years.
The schooner Finance, here from
Grand banks, brought rwo French fish-
ermen who had been adrift in a dory for
nine days, and were almost d-ehd when
rescued. One- was so weak that he had
to be hoisted aboard the vessel.
FILIBUSTERS LAND.
New York, N. Y.. July 3.—A -special -to
the Herald from Havana, Cuba, says:
An importent filibustering expedition has
landed on ithe coast of the province of
OIF'FTCEIS TO CLIQISIE.
General Manager Yoakum has issued
an order that all of the general offices of
the Santa Fe remain closed -tomorrow
and all employes will be given a full holi-
day on account of the Fourth of July,
notwithstanding the fact that the Fourth
comes along just at the close of the fiscal
year and everybody is 'busy closing up
the year’s business.

COOMBS & MOELLER, 37th and Broad-
way. s
Chicago, Ill., July 3.—Notwithstanding
the convention is still four days off there
are almost continuous conferences among
those who expect to be called upon to
make the platform. Their plans all look
to preparing a document which, while it
will cover various other questions of
Democratc faith, will give a -place of
prominence to a financial declaration. It
is now exipected the platform will be a
silver pronunciamento, setting forth the
free coinage doctrine in the form of a
ringing address which will appeal to the
support of all silver advocates of what-
ever party. The gist of the plank will,
however, he an unequivocal declaration
for the free and unlimited coinage of
silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 without wait-
ing for the action of any other nation.
The tariff plank is really giving the
silver majority more- concern -than the
financial declaration. They consider this
a very delicate matter. The silver ques-
tion is recognized by all as the para-
mount issue, but -the Democracy has been
so persistent in its declarations on the
tariff and the Republicans have made it
so prominent in their platform that they
realize the impossibilty of ignoring it.
This they would gladly do if they could
for this one time because of the effect
that a declaration leaning towards free
trade would have upon the -Republican
silver men and Populists whose votes
they hope to secure with a free silver
candidate. The leaders feel that the
financial question is one requiring a dec-
laration of principles, but that the tariff
is a proper subject to play politics upon.
They will probably announce adherence
to Democratic traditions on this -subject,
though in very 'general terms, and an-
nounce the belief that with the free mint-
age of silver the present tariff will pro-
duce sufficient revenue for the needs of
the government. There may be a decla-
ration, however, for a more equitable
adjustment than that contained in the
present law, with the hope of reconciling
the wool and lumber men of the west.
The plank may even contain an implied
reconcilement to protection in words in-
dicating that any tariff, dven though for
revenue only, is a protection to labor.

Tomorrow Galveston expects to enjoy
the most rollicksome Fourth of July in
the history of this town. The big fire
might have burned up the-enthusiasm at
.some former period, but not now. The
dry weather might in -by gone days have
withered the small boy’s yell and caused
the fires and enthusiasm to -smolder and
go out jn- the 'bosom of his elders. But
now things are different. The railroads
are -going to bring the people and the
people are going to make things hum.
Those gentle spirits who conduct the
dozens of little shops along the Bowery
on the beach are sitting around today
shaking hands with themselves and feel-
ing good. Their prospects were never
brighter. And speaking of the Bowery,
the following letter which was picked up
somewhere in the interior by Gol. Whis-
kers Tuley of the -Santa Fe, tells of what
a time -a certain denizen of the interior
saw during a recent visit to Galveston.
The letter reads this way:
“iGalveston, July 1.—(Dear Bill: I take
my pen in hand ter writ you these few
lines jes’ es I promised I "would. Well,
Bill, I can’t writ mu'ch. This here Gal-
veston is ther -greatest place ter see
sights you ever seed, and I can’t waste
much time in writing letters. When we
got in here, the fust thing we seed
buzzed by us on two wheels, an’ -somebody
told us it wus a woman in bloomers on a
bike. IShe had big sleeves and baggy
britches, and you jest orter seen her.
Why, if that air gal would sail down
ther road ter Farmville, she would make
ther cows-git outer the pastur. Then
we got on one er them air ’lectric cars an’
wus whizzed out to the beach. Golly,
Bill, ‘but you orter see that air beach.
There’s’ more things thar then I can
think -ov now, but I’ll try ter tell ye
erbout -some er them. Whar we got off’er
the car ther is a place they calls Olimpia,
whatever that means. This is a grate -big
three story round thing, with every
sorter funny bizness erbout it. We took
a shot at swinging targets and throwed
balls at a nigger’s head till I thought
we’d bust it sho’, but we didn’t. Then
we got on the flying jinney, an’ yer orter
seed ther thing whiz. I thought I’d seed
flying jinneys at home, but they ain’t like .
this jinney here. I tell you, (Bill, it’s jes’ PETTIT, John R.—2125 Market,
grate. Then we got into a place they
calls er fonograf parler and-heard a ma-
chine talk jes’ like folks an’ sing all sorts
a -songs and -play all sorts a mu sick
frum a brass band to a juce harp. Arter
that we looked in a lettl-e hole in a box
an’ seed two men having a fite. Every-
thing a feller does when he files them
fellers done, ’cept cus-s an’ holler. Then
a g-a-1 came out an’ kicked up her heels
while we wuz looking in the hole in ther
box, an’ the feler what -Stade thar an
charged us a nickel er piece for taking er
look said she was a dancin’. Well, may-
be she wus, but it wus diffrent frum the
sort a dancin’ the gals does at the ole
s-cool house at ther bed ov the creek.
Arter we got outer thar we hed more’n
we could eat at ther Olimpia restrant,
an’ it only cost us two -bits er piece, an’
some ov the boys tells us thet we went
ter a swell joint, as the dudes say down
here, an’ had to pay high, but if we
hader went with them we couider got
our dinner fer 115 cents. Nex’ we went
up on the dancin’ floor, what’s on ther
second story of the Olimpia, an’ saw a
thousand people a dancin’ at onct. Why,
Bill, that’s more people than I ever did
see at Farmville. ’Bout this time the
’lectric lights lit up an’ we -all went in
bathing. •, Bill, that’s the greatest thing
out. The men they ware er shirt an’ a
pare ov nee 'britches sowed together in
ther middle an’ buttoned up in front, an’
ther wimmens they ware white caps on
their head, short skirts an’ britches, too,
’cause I seed one gal’s britches while she
wus er floating round on top ov the
waves. Thar must -have been over
two thousand people in thar that nite, an’
such fun an’ hollerin’ you never heard at
Farmville. I -been here all day an’ am
jes’ tired out seeing sites, so am going
ter close these few lines. Tell all ther
boys an’ gals that if they want ter have
fun, jes’ come down to Galveston on one
of them ’s-cursion-s. They can have more
fun here then eniiy place on earth, and
needn’t pay for none of it if they don’t
wan-ter, ’cause there’s ernough free
things ter keep ’em 'bizzy for a week. But
I wanted ter see it all, that’s why I took
in the Bowery on -the beach.

says: The party of Cubans, who-recent-

THE FRUIT PALACE.
THE FIRE.
Rebuilding Begins at Once Upon More
Substantial Plans. ,
The big fire has passed into history.-
The work of reconstruction has already
begun and by the time the next business
season is fairly on not a trace of yester-
day’s work of the fire fiend will remain!
to remind one that there ever was a fire
in this town. The burned -wharves and'
sheds will be replaced with better and
more substantial structures. While the
fire companies were yet playing streams
upon the smouldering ruins, gangs of
men were put to work clearing away the
debris.
The 'Wharf company has decided to
bulk head their property along- the
burned water front, and will fill it in up
to the channel instead of constructing
the wharves on piling as heretofore. As
soon as the foundations can be laid new-
and improved sheds -will be constructed
by the Wharf company. Oapt. Sawyer,
agent of the Mallory line, states that
just a^ soon as the ’Wharf company pro-
vides the wharf the Mallory company
will reconstruct its sheds. All of the
'buildings will be more substantial and
commodious than ever before.
It is difficult to arrive -at exact esti-
mates of the loss. Those most interested
have not yet made up figures w;l ■
they care to give out for publication,
from the best source possible the los'
appear to be as follows:
Wharf company’s new shed
Jute stored in same
Thirty -box cars, at $400
Wool, 4055 sacks
Santa F-e shed
Old wharf shed
Missouri-Pacific shed
Mallory city warehouse ....
1000 feet of wharf front
1000 feet of track and trestle
1000 rolls of bagging, 10 per cent
damage
125 bales of cotton burned
300 bales of cotton damaged
25 bales of cotton burned
Mallory outfit of trucks, gang
pl-anks, etc
Other damage n-ot included in above
Total ^9,000
The Santa Fe -estimates their 1-oiss'es as
follows:
140,000 pounds of wool, at 6 cents per
pound
One car cotton •••• LWJJ
Twenty-five box cars, at $400 10,uw
Total
The Santa F-e also lost a lot of old
■records, which are said to' be of no par-
ticular value. Their office fixtures and’
furniture in their ware house were also
destro-ved, but the loss from this souic-d
was trifling. t .
So far as can be ascer-amed the i-oss
is nrettv w-ell covered by inisuiar ce, -asJ
indicated in The Tribune’s report yester-
day detailing the insurance carried by
the different victims of the tire. . .

of silver at the ratio of I6T0 1. But that
hope has been dispelled. In its national
council at ’St. Louis the party declared
for gold and the single standard; that
this -great nation, dedicated in its birth
to the highest development of the human
race, should engage in the -business of
millionaires ad paupers; that the classes
should dominate the masses, and that
the government of the peop'le, for the
people and by the people should perish
from the earth.
“We, as a league, therefore most heart-
ily indorse the stand taken by Hon.
Henry M. Teller and his associates in
their patriotic efforts to prevent this
party betrayal and commend their’with-
drawal from such convention when it
ceased to represent the party of Lincoln,
Grant and iG-axtfie-ld.
“We are further pur-suaded that our
duty is 'clear; we are called upon as men
and citizens of the republic to resist this
proposed wrong; we, 'therefore, invite all
Republicans to join with us in securing
the united action Of -all persons and
parties who are in belief and sympathy
with us to make one united effort to es-
tablish the financial policy of this gov-
ernment upon the true principles of 'bi-
metallism as it existed prior to 1873.
“ID. D. Gregory, President.
“R. F. Williams, Secretary.”
The league is a very small affair in Ne-
braska.
A CHILD EINJOYlS
The pleasant flavor, gentle action, and
soothing effect of Syrup of -Figs, when in
need of a laxative, and if the father or
mother be costive or bilious, the most
gratifying results follow its use; so that
it is the best family remedy known and
every Aimily should have a bottle.
Dickinson, Tex., July 3.—As usual, the
r.ian'a-genient of the TeAas coast fair, in
charge of the fruit palace, have more to
show than they promised. For example,
Prof. T. V. Munson of Denison, has over
75 varieties of grapes and nearly 200 un-
divided plates. Th-e 'Agricultural and
Mechanical college exhibit of GO varieties
of grapes and nearly 150 plates does great
Credit to- Prof. Price, -the horticulturist,
■and the able direction of the honorable
board of hustlers.
Mr. Frank Ramsey came down from
Austin -this morning like -a storm with
eight varieties of Japan plums, 22 varie-
ties of American and Chickasaw plums, 21
varieties of peaches. Ramsey always goes
at it for keeps, -and he will certainly make
a strong impression.
Mr. G. Onderdonk of Nursery, Tex., sent
over a fine coillection of Prof. (Munson's
grapes.
Beeville, Alvarado and Jules Perthius
have grape exhibit's, and no gr'ape grow-
er or fruit grower of any importan-ce can
afford to miss -seeing these grand fruit ex-
hibits. Hitchcock, Arcadia,/Clear Creek,
Dickinson and Hule-n ha ve in splendid, ex-
hibits of fruits and vegetables. Mr. M.
B. Wright of Palestine has a fine ex-
hibit of wines ami grapes, as -also-has Mr.
Vogel of Molls Point. No- wine maker
should fail to see it.
The culinary department, under the
able management of Mrs. II. H. Settle,
has gone far ahead of any and all ex-
hibitions, and it is estimated that the jals
on exhibition number SOO or 400.
The baby show began ait 2 o’clock, and
the visitor would think babies a special
product of our coast country. There are
all kinds, large, good looking, -and of
course the prettiest things on earth.
All is expectancy for lojnorrow on ac-
count of 'the great speech to be delivered
by Roger Q. Mills, and then you can hear
the people smack their lips for the free
barbecie which -follows Col. Mills’ speech.
Every lip is loud in praise of Mrs. L.
V. Elder of Dickinson, for the beauti-
ful decorations, and she and Mrs. Ham-
lett, with the- babies, -are the lions of the
hour.
Capt. C. Nolan’s horsemen are on the
grounds with flocks of wild horses and
steers, practicing their roping contests
and 'trying their bucking bronchos. To-
morrow will surely be a proud Fourth, for
both the “sport” and the patriotic citi-
zen. Immense trenches for the barbecue
speak for the preparations being made for
the free “feed,” and all will be accommo-
dated.
