Writers of fiction have frequently pic-
tured the idea of an unknown tropical
paradise turned into a general asylum for
outlaws and criminals. In the Bonin
isles, not far from Japan, such a refuge
has actually been discovered. Men of
every nationality, who have made civiliza-
tion too warm for themselves, have de-
camped to this ideal rendezvous, leaving
the police to record the unsatisfactory re-
sult of their investigations as "gone
abroad.” No rates or taxes have to be
paid, and government seems to be entirely
dispensed with. The discovery was made
by a Japanese vessel which called at the
isle. In future the aliens will have less
freedom, and consequently less happiness,
for the Japanese dominion will have to be

THE SENATE.
Washington, D. C., Feb. 16.—Soon after
the senate convened today the house joint
resolution authorizing the secretary of
the navy to pay certain laborers, work-
men and mechanics of the several navy
yards and naval stations 50 per cent addi-
tional for work performed in excess of
eight hours per diem was called up.
Mr. Hawley of Connecticut inquired of
Mr. Burrows of Michigan, who had the
measure in charge if it applied to existing
contracts. He said if it did so apply it
might bankrupt some contractors. Mr.
Burrows explained that it applied only to
regular employes of naval establishments.
The resolution was adopted.
Mr. Hawley reported the army reorgani-
zation bill to the senate and made a state-
ment as to the necessity of passing the
bill very soon.
The military academy appropriation bill
passed without debate, and consideration
of the naval personnel bill began.

resolution:
“Resolved, that we advertise for plans,
specifications and bids for the construc-
tion of the sidewalk and the laying out of
the grounds around the entire property
owned by the county and upon which the
new court house stands. Plans, specifica-
tions and bids are to be filed with the
county clerk not later than 12 o’clock noon
on the 23d day of February, 1199. No bid
to be accepted unless accompanied by a
certified check for $1000 as evidence of
good faith to enter into contract. Also
that the architect be notified to attend
the meeting on Feb. 23 to assist the court
in its deliberations upon said plans and
bids, and further it is agreed to pay him
his regular commission upon the cost of
said work less the previous amounts paid
him by the old commissioners’ court. My
reasons for this motion are that some
parties have complained to me of the pres-
ent plans not being fair, to all, and I
think this is the best way to overcome
any complaints of this kind and respect-
fully ask the commissioners’ court to
adopt same. ROBERT L. PILLOW,
“Co. Com., Galveston Co., Precinct 1.”

THE COLON STRIKE.
Washington, D. C., Feb. 16.—The depart-
ment of state has been informed by cable
from Consul General Gudger at Panama
that a compromise has been effected with
the strikers at Colon and work will be re-
sumed. Recent advices from there said
the situation was critical and a revolution
might be the possible outcome of the
strike if continued.

Superintendent of Roads and Bridges
Ballew addressed the court in regard to
the bills of the road and bridge gang,
about which there was such a kick yester-
day. He said the grocery bill was for one
and one-half months,- not for one month,
as the court thought. He said he was
running the road and bridge gang 20 per
cent cheaper than before.
Judge Mann said he probably owed an
apology to Mr. Ballew in this matter. Mr.
Ballew had purchased goods for one month
and a half and the court did not appreciate
this fact when the accounts were under
discussion yesterday.
Justice Barry’s report was received and
filed.
Maj. Peers asked why bids should not be
received for supplying the county with
stationery. He said the bills on that ac-
count were steep.
He was told it was very hard to tell
what stationery the various departments
wanted, and under the present system
the supplying was divided up among the
various houses in the trade.
A Mr. Trice of Dallas exhibited a patent
hammock or cot he thought the county
might like to use in the jail. The com-
missioners admired the arrangement and
said they would advise him if any were
required.

GRAIN MARKETS.
Chicago, Ill., Feb. 16.—
May Wheat.
'The resolution introduced by Commis-
sioner Robert L. Pillow, providing for a
bond issue of $150,000, was passed in
amended form today by the commission-
ers’ court? This resolution is merely pre-
liminary and is an expression of the court
on the matter of- the debt charged against
the road and bridge fund and a suggestion
as to how to get the county on a cash basis
and at the same time save expenses.
The resolution as amended is as fol-
lows:
“Inasmuch as about $150,000 of county
warrants are now issued or in process of
being issued, on which the county pays 6
per cent interest per annum, for work per-
formed in good faith by the contractors,
they should, of course, be paid, so as to
preserve the credit of the county; and
considering the county could easily sell its
bonds bearing interest at the rate of 4 per
cent pei’ annum, say $150,000 at a premium,
and by which means besides the county
would save 2 per cent interest (the war-
rants now bearing 6 per cent interest) and
in addition reclaim the credit of the coun-
ty, it is hereby recommended that the
county attorney be instructed to prepare
the necessary papers and submit them to
our representatives at Austin, so as to get
permission from the present legislature,
and as soon as possible, for the county to
issue $150,000 worth of 4 per cent bonds, to
be sold at not less than par, and at as
much premium as possible, to be used ex-
clusively for the payment or warrants al-
ready issued, and for such warrants as
are to be issued for account of the work
already contracted for.”
The original resolution
bonds at 5 per cent.
Mr. Pillow, in speaking to the resolu-
tion, said he had, in conversation with
the people, learned that they favored a 4
per cent bond in preference to a 5 per cent
bond. He believed the 5 per cent bond
would command a> premium that would
equalize the matter, but would amend the
resolution to provide for 4 per cent bonds
of say 30 years.
Maj. Peers said some provision ought to
be made for a sinking fund and for taking
up the bonds. He thought that every
time as much as $2000 accumulated in the
fund it should be invested.
Judge Mann said the commissioners for-
got. that the county had reached the limit
of taxation on the road and bridge ac-
count. Unless this bond issue was spe-
cially voted by the people and there was a
special tax for the purpose he didn’t be-
lieve the legislature would approve the
issue. Furthermore, he questioned wheth-
er it was legal.
Mr. Pillow said he had looked into the
subject and would take the-responsibility
of saying the issue would be legal.
Maj. Peers said the court would have to
make some provision for meeting the pres-
ent emergency. It would take 23 years to
meet the present obligations of the road
and bridge account, and the court ought
to go to the people or to the legislature to
have the condition remedied. The com-
missioners owed it to themselves to do
something. The present financial condi-
tion of the county was farcical. Some
remedy would have to be applied to cure
the existing trouble.
Mr. Pillow said he favored a bond of $100.
The people of Galveston county would
take such bonds.
Peers—You propose a sort of popular
loan.
Pillow—Exactly. It will afford a good
field for investment for the people and
will save the county from its embarrass-
ments.
Mann—The first thing you should do is
to consult the attorney general, the comp-
troller and the governor about this issue
of bonds. Let us know what they think
about it.
Mr. Byrne suggested that action
taken on the resolution.
Maj. Peers said that was a good idea.
There was nothing iron clad about the
resolution. He wanted to add safety
clauses in the way of sinking fund, etc.,
but as an expression of the court in favor-
ing an issue of $150,000 bonds to get the
county on a cash basis and minimize pres-
ent interest charges he thought it well to
adopt the resolution.
Mr. Vowinckle wanted to amend, the
resolution so that the bonds could be re-
deemed at the pleasure of the county. If
the county had $2000 on hand it could take
up $2000 of the bonds, etc.
Judge Mann said the form of a 10-40-year
bond was the most acceptable. He asked,
however, that the matter be held up until
the meeting next Monday. In the mean-
time he would look into the legal status of
the affair.
The resolution was passed. Then the
clerk was instructed to notify the county
attorney to draw up the proper papers and
to arrange for the publication of applica-
tion to the legislature for the issue.
The judge will investigate in the mean-
time and at the meeting next Monday the
commissioners will be advised of his find-
ings.

NICARAGUA. BILL DEFEATED.
Washington, D. C., Feb. 16.—The house
yesterday settled the fate of the Nica-
ragua canal bill in this congress by refus-
ing to reverse the decision of the chair
when the chair held that its offer as an
amendment by Mr. Hepburn was out of
order. Party lines were not adhered, to,
the division in favor of and in opposition
to sustaining the chair’s decision being
about equal on both sides of the political
aisles. After 10 pages of the bill were dis-
posed of the house adjourned. It is
thought an extra session of congress is
now inevitable.
BROOKLYN NAVY YARD.
New York, N. Y„ Feb. 16.—Over $1,000,000
of government property was destroyed by
a fire which started in the large machine
shops of the Brooklyn navy works, and.
the workings of the navy yard has re-
ceived a set-back. Many fine models and.
patterns were destroyed.
The fire was first discovered at 6.30
o’clock last night. The flames rapidly
gained headway. They completely envel-
oped the machine shops, and other build-
ings in the vicinity were also burned. The
firemen put on their streams, but seem-
ingly without effect. Loss of building,
$350,000, and that on machinery, $340,000.
The cost of models and patterns destroyed
is variously estimated. The officials place
the total loss1 a little over a million. Causa
of fire unknown.

NO TAX SALES.
Comptroller Finley has sent a large roll
of blanks to Clerk Easton for information^ »-
of the list of lands and lots sold for taxes
under the decree of the district cofirt.
Mr. Easton is unable to comply wlxfi the
request, because since he has been’ clerk
of the civil district court no such sale
has taken place. He is, therefore, at a
loss to know whether to return th® blanks
unfilled or to wait until a sale takes place.
There is also a statement frfem the
comptroller that additional blanks can be 1
secured when necessary. At the ra^they
haVe been needed heretofore, Mr. Easel’s
present supply will last about a centurY-.., i
To the credit of Galveston county land
holders it may be said that notwithstand-
ing all the suits filed here for the collec-
tion of delinquent taxes only one judg-
ment has been taken. That is a pretty

The Snow Is Twelve Feet Deep and
Supplies Getting Short.
Denver, Colo., Feb. 16.—Although most
railroad lines in Colorado are now open
and trains running on time, reports from
Kokomo, Robinson and other towns on
the South Park line above Como, show a
serious state of affairs. Some of the citi-
zens, women as well as men, are leaving
these town and! making their way to Lead-
ville on snow shoes. The snow is 12 feet
deep on a level. There is nothing but
flour, potatoes and some canned goods in
Kokomo to eat and only a few days’ sup-
ply of this. The fuel supply also is al-
most exhausted. The railroad companies
have begun to arrange for floods and
snow slides that are sure to come when
the w eather becomes warm in the moun-
tains. Large gangs of men are at \%/rk
clearing out obstruction in the canyons
and as soon as the great masses of snow
begin to soften they will be dislodged by
the use of dynamite, so as slide, into the
canyons when no trains are near.

THE MILES INQUIRY.
of Organization and' Procedure
Discussed Today.
Washington, D. C., Feb. 16.—The court
of inquiry into the charges made by Gen.
Miles will hold no open session today, but
may have a meeting for organization and
discussion of methods of procedure. All
members present at the court are directed
“to investigate certain allegations by the
general commanding the army in respect
to the unfitness for issue of certain ar-
ticles of food furnished by the subsistence
department to troops, in the field, during
the recent operations in Cuba and] Porto
Rico. In addition to findings of fact, the
court will submit an opinion upon the
merits of the case, together with such
recomn endations as to further proceed-
ings as may seem to be warranted by
facts developed, in the course of the in-
quiry.”
The members of the court held an in-
formal conference and on its conclusion
Col. Davis, the recorder, announced that
the formal meeting of the court would be
deferred until tomorrow morning.
The court has not been informed thus
far that Gen. Miles will be represented by
counsel, though this is his right. It was
stated that any one whose course of ac-
tion was involved in any way had the
right to be represented by counsel. This,
it is stated, would permit the beef con-
cerns, as well as any other firms or in-
dividuals directly involved in the inquiry,
to be represented by counsel if they saw
fit. There has been no need of counsel,
however, and no legal representatives
were present today.
A Sportsman Adrift in the Bay During
the Blizzard.
Mr. J. Albert Ellis of Ann Arbor, Mich.,
arrived at the Tremont yesterday morn-
ing after a pretty rough experience. He
was caught out during the blizzard of last
Sunday and Monday in a small sloop, the
Ida Bell of Texas City, and for two days
he was without food of any kind. He was
near the mouth of the Trinity river on a
hunting expedition. When the norther
came up he anchored and expected to lay
quietly to until the wrorst was over, but
the ice floes struck his small craft and
broke the anchor chain and then he drift-
ed. He arrived here in safety, but with
a large and growing appetite and says he
does not care for another experience of
that kind.
Mr. Ellis is a young man, a graduate of
Ann Arbor university, and. has quite a
number of friends here. He has been com-
ing to Galveston for three or four winters
on hunting trips. He usually remains
about six months, but this time he did
not come down until December. He ex-
pects to leave tomorrow for some of the
shooting retreats west of here.

Private cablegrams from Liverpool state
that Landauer, who, until three weeks
ago, was a bear, declares that cotton is
going to advance % to % of a penny. That
in American money is 1 cent to"l% cent.
Other advices from Liverpool are to the
effect that the bullish sentiment is grow-
ing there.
There was considerable strength mani-
fested .in Liverpool early today, but to-
ward the end of the session reports of
riots in Paris caused a decline and fu-
tures closed half a point dowm.
On this side the news from Paris caused
temporary weakness, May at New Orleans
selling down to 5.97, but from that point
there was a re-action, the close being at
New Yorw eased off 6 points on the not
news, but stiffened up again and at the
close prices were within 1 to 2 points ol
yesterday.
Receipts continue small,, the total at the
ports up to date, showing a deficit of 127,-
945 bales as compared with this time last
season.

Two bids were received for lighting the
new court house and supplying the power
to run the elevators.
The bid of the Brush company was:
Light—20 cents per thousand watts. Dis-
count—10, 15, 20 per cent for bills ramging
from $30 to $50, and for above those
amounts from 25 to 33 1-3 per cent.
Power—27% cents per thousand watts.
Discount, 33 1-3 per cent.
City railroad bid:
Light—13 1-3 cents pei’ thousand watts.
Fans, 8 cents per thousand watts. Power,
5 cents per thousand watts.
“What’s a watt?” inquired Mr. Byrne.
“I’m surprised at you, Martin,” said
Maj. Peers.
■Mr. Byrne thought those bids were as
clear as mud. He objected to entering
into a contract at this time. He was
willing to pay for a test of the elevators,
if such were necessary, but didn’t want
to be forced into a contract for lighting
and for power in getting that test.
The matter was passed until Carl Young
was communicated with to come to the
court house and advise the court which
bid was the lower.
Mr. Young was prompt.
