James Spillane, member of the state
legislature and until recently purchasing
agent of the city, is dead. At 1.15 this
morning he expired.
Consumption . was the cause, which
was contracted a'bout six years ago dur.
ing the Mardi Gras festivities held in
Galveston. Mr. Spillane at this time had
just recovered from an attack of la
■grippe, 'but- being one of the promoters
of the Mardi Gras and desiring to par-
ticipate he entered into the spirit of the
carnival, and as a result contracted a
cold which ultimately led to his death.
Probably there was no more popular
man in Galveston than James Spillane.
He had a faculty of making and retain-
ing friends and was generous to a fault.
The deceased was born in New York
city Dec. 22, 1861. He was the second
child of Morgan Spillane and Elizabeth
Orpheus, who were natives of Lismore
county, Waterford, Ireland. Mr. Spil-
lane’s mother died when he was 3 years
of age, and when he arrived at the ags
of 8 his father expired. He did not have
the advantages of a college education,
and what little schooling he received was
obtained at the public schools before he
"was 11 years of age, for when he reached
this age he was forced to earn his own
living. The first position he- ever held
was that of messenger boy for the Amer-
ican district telegraph company, and so
well did he discharge his duties that at
the age pf 17 he was made assistant su-
perintendent of the company.
In 1880 he came to Galveston and se-
cured employment in the secretary’s office
•of the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe. He
held various positions with the Santa Fe
and at the time he resigned was private
secretary to General (Manager Webster
Snyder. He left the service of the Santa
Fe to accept the position of secretary of
the Preston chemical company. During
the time he served as secretary of the
Chemical company he was secretary of
the Galveston, Houston and Henderson
railway and held a similar position with
the Nottingham company. He was iden-
tified with the latter company up to the
time of his death.
Mr. Spillane was prominent in busi-
ness, political and social life. Although
a comparatively young man, he made his
presence felt in the community, and was
fast climbing the ladder of fame. He
was a director in the Texas loan and in-
vestment company and in the Maritime
association and interested in other busi-
ness enterprises.
Although he had interested himself in
affairs political for some time, his first,
induction into the political arena was at
the time his friends prevailed upon him
to run as a candidate for aiderman from
the 9th ward. At this time the election
was from wards, and after a hot con-
test Mr. Spillane was elected over’ Louis
Schmidt.
He Served in the city council several
months and proved himself to be a legis-
lator of ability. He was nominated on
the Democratic ticket as one of the can-
didates for the legislature from this
county, was elected and served his con-
stituents well. He resigned his seat in
the city council to go to the legislature.
It is said of him by the members of the
legislature who knew him at Austin that
he was one of the ablest in the house.
He was a good debator, quick at re-
partee, but never said anything that
would wound the feelings of another.
He was generous to an enemy and loyal
to his friends. When he entered into a
contest he went in to win and generally
succeeded.
Mr. 'Spillane married Miss Rowena
•Williams, a niece of Maj. Mott, and as a
result of this union three children were
born, Mott .Spillane, aged 6, Rowena,
aged 4% and Richard Spillane, aged 3.
The funeral will occur this afternoon
at 4 o’clock from his late residence on
Tremont and M%. The following will
act as pall bearers: Capt. James Mc-
Donald, J. W. Terry, S. S. Hanscom,
Joseph Seinsheimer, C. W. Preston, Geo.
Anderson, L. Sclilessinger and Janies A.
Crocker.
Mr. Spillane read a great deal and had
accumulated at his home quite a library.
He studied law and knew something of
medicine and the sciences and was a
man of large and varied information. He
was fin interesting conversationalist, a
good story teller and was liked immense-
ly in a large circle of friends.
Until recently Mr. Spillane served this
city as. purchasing agent. His term of
office expired a few days ago, when the
position was abolished. The flag on the
city hall is floating at half mast today in
respect to his memory.

The chamber of commerce- has had

Deep Water at Galveston, Tex.—Ex-
tract from .speech'’of Maj. A. M. Miller,
of the United States engineer corps, at
the third annual banquet of the- Galves-
ton chamber of commerce, March 2, 1896.
—"On the outer bar when the work be-
gan there was a depth of 12 feet. The
■completion of the'-south jetty to a length
of 32,0’6'0 feeflhafl increased the depth in
the navigable channel to 13 3-4 feet on
March 2, 18S3;- to 14 feet on March 2,
1894, and on March 2, 1895, to- 15 feet,
with a straight channel, while formerly
the channel had been very tortuous and
difficult to navigate. The grounding of
vessels bn the bar was a not infrequent
occurrence, and altogether it was a very
difficult channel for pilots to navigate.
This was obviated by the channel be-
coming straight and easily navigable; in
fact, the first straight channel was al-
most directly in range with the light ship
Galveston and Bolivar light house.

“With a through line of railway ex-
tending through the western half of the
Mississippi valley into Port Arthur,”
said Mr. Campbell, “it Is impossible to
phophesy the size of the city that will be
built within the very immediate future
at that point. Capital and enterprise are
coming south and business men and men
of enterprise who have watched the
growth of cities in this country and the
increase of values in property will not
lose sight of the fact that all the best
cities in the world have the advantage of
cheap water transportation. As soon as
the Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf
railway is completed into Port Arthur
vessels will be going out of that harbor
loaded with the products of the western
farmer and will return loaded with the
commerce of the old world. The cars
that have taken the farmers’ corn to the
ship’s side will return loaded with lum-
ber and with imported products. That
kind of 'business will make a city. Why,
look at Galveston! It made a city of
some 50,000 with 13 feet of water, and 1
am told it is one of the wealthiest cities
of its size in the United States.”

New York, N. Y., March 9.—Today the
National Armenian relief association will
send $10,000 to Armenia. It is stated that
great relief is being given to the Arme-
nians, but that an -obstacle is a lack of
funds. Mrs. Stephen Barton of Wester-
ly, L. I., has received a cablegram from
■Miss Clara Barton at Constantinople, say-
ing that the Red cross society shipped
on Saturday a large quantity of supplies
to the interior of Armenia, to go by way
of Alexandretta, on the Mediterranean.
Miss Barton has forwarded funds to Har-
poot, Sevas and Marash, and reports from
the interior indicate that the needs of
the suffering Armenians are increasing.

also 'the two white officers who did not

Rev. Gary 'then read the following reso-
lution, which was unanimously adopted
and ordered turned over -to The Tribune
for publication:
“Whereas, On Wednesday, the 4th in-
stant, William Stepney, a young colored
man, not guilty nor charged with any
crime, was shot to death by Officer
Cooper of the police force of itlhe city;
and
“Whereat the deed was done on one of
the public streets of Galveston while
Stepney was peaceably wending his, way
home, as law abiding citizens have a
right to do; and
“Whereas, the shooting was without
authority, provocation, excuse or appar-
ent reason, and in violation of all law and
common sense; andl
“Whereas, such lawless and inhuman
target practice, and such indiscreet and
liberal use of deadly weapons in the
hands of men permitted to carry them, in
the interest of peace, if allowed to
go unpunished, would soon make it un-
safe for citizens to pass through the
streets at night faster than an ordinary
Walk; and
“Whereas, we believe in law and order,
and in the absolute protection of the lives
of innocent men, and the impartial ad nin-
istrati'O'n of justice to all men of whate ver
race, color, creed or condition; therefore,
be it
“Resolved, That we condemn the killing
of William Stepney as needless amdi in-
excusable, as well as an offense against
the peace and dignity of the community
and state.
“Resolved, That we believe, in order
to secure safety and protect peaceable
citizens, such reekiess waste of human
life, whether committed by white or 'col-
ored officers, should be punished to the
fullest extent of the laiw of the land.
“Resolved, That we regret- the killing
of William Stepney as a dangerous pre-
cedent that should terminate with this
case, and we implore the authorities to
meet 'out swift retribution to> all con-
cerned.
“Resolved, That we denounce as unfit
for peace officers those who endeavored
to conceal the act of Officer Cooper.
“Resolved, That we commend the ac-
tion of the police commission and Chief
Jones, and we -heartily indorse the stand
taken by The Galveston Tribune in the
interest of protection to life, and jus-
tice, law and order,”

This is an independent line. It has its
own terminal at Kansas City and will
also own its own terminal at Port Ar-
thur. The road runs through a rich ter-
ritory—a territory that produces abun-
dantly corn, wheat, oats and potatoes;
in fact, everything that is produced in
the most splendid agricultural country
;in the world. This road will be an outlet
to the sea for Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas,
Missouri, Arkansas, Texas and Louisi-
ana. Shippers and producers want to
reach the markets of the world with the
shortest possible land haul and the peo^
pie of the west and south can only do
this through ports on the Texas coast,
and, of course, the port will do the busi-
ness that can have the freight taken to
the ship side.”
“What do I think of city building at
these ports? It is impossible to prevent
the growth of large and prosperous cities

merce is handled. Aransas Pass will
An indication occurred in the clearing
of the Texas Star flour mills’ steam-
ship Gyller Saturday which would indi-
cate that affairs in Cuba are assuming
a serious aspect. The flour mill company
and Messrs. Reymershoffer Sons havs
(been engaged in West Indian and Cen-
tral American trade for the past five
years, 'beginning on a very small scale
and gradually working the business up
to considerable proportions. They have
been largely instrumental in overcoming
some of the obstacles in the • way of
American trade with the Spanish Indies,
notably in securing a reduction in the
duty on flour. For the past three years
their ships have made regular trips, and
the business has been uninterrupted. No
inconvenience has been suffered on ac-
count of the rebellion until on Saturday.
The steamer Gyller was taking on a
general cargo for West Indian ports,
among which was a quantity of flour
for Cienfuegos. A cablegram was re-
ceived from the mills’ agent at Havana
reading, “Very great excitement pre-
vails,” and later this was followed by
one saying, “Don’t ship flour.” Mr.
John Reymershoffer immediately cabled:
“What is the matter? We are loading
now,” and-the reply came: “Reprisals—
action congress—we have telegraphed
Cienfuegos.”
Cienfuegos was, therefore, dropped
from the ship’s calling list, but as no
advices were received concerning the
other Spanish-American ports to which
she is destined she will proceed to them.
This morning Mr. Reymershoffer said
to a Tribune reporter: “In the absence
of further details as to the trouble, we
thought it best not to let the ship go to
Cienfuegos, but had she sailed before
the receipt of our agent’s cable, I should
have felt no uneasiness,, having confi-
dence in the ability of this government
to protect its commerce.”
, Upon reference to Webster, “reprisal”
was found to be defined: “The act of
taking from an enemy by way of retal-
iation or indemnity.”
Said Mr. Reymershoffer: “I scarcely
think that the act from which four
agent’s fears arose was one of the Span-
ish government, else we should have
'been warned to keep away from all
'Spanish-American ports. I rather think
it was something done by one of the
local, subordinate officers at Cienfuegos,
and I would infer from the following
cable received after the departure of the
Gyller that the 'Spanish government had
informed this hot head that reprisals
wouldn’t do: ‘Have no further news,
can you proceed? Telegraph date of de-
parture.’
“The Spanish government is still on
friendly terms with the United States,
and it is evident that the acts of her hot
■heads will not be sanctioned. Neither do
I believe in our people committing rash
acts. We should preserve our national
dignity; the burning of Spanish flags
and of Spanish officials in effigy is as
nonsensical as is the actions of the
students in Spain. If our people sympa-
thize with the insurgents they may mani-
fest it without all these fire works, and
if congress thinks the recognition as bel-
ligerents should be extended it should
be done in a dignified manner, and with-
out the intemperate talk which invites
criticism from the world.
“Had it not 'been for the last cable re-
ceived I should have called the attention
of the secretary of state to this matter,
but I now take it that the Spanish gov-
ernment has spoken in sufficiently spe-
cific terms. I will, therefore, await
more detailed advices.”

TEXAS DEEP WATER PORTS.
What, a Kansas Man Has to 'Say Con-
■              cerning Them.
"Houston Post.
Phil P. Campbell of Pittsburg, Kan.,
member of the deep water utilization
committee, passed through the city yes-
"terday on his way home from a tour of
the,Texas coast. He was seen at the
Lawlor by a representative of the Post.
“What do I think of Texas and the
coast country? I am much delighted
with this part of your state; in fact, with
all Texas. There is a wonderful field for
development here. It seems to me all
that you require here upon the coast
country is energy and capital to make
this one of the most wealthy and pro-
ductive places in the world.”
“What do you think the commission
appointed by the Eastern and Southern
traffic associations will do upon the
question of gulf port rates?”
“Nothing,” was Mr. Campbell’s .reply.
Then he added:
“That commission was not appointed
by the railways that it represented with
•a view of having it do anything. What
these traffic associations want is the
long eastern haul. These roads are not.
operated for the accommodation of their
■western Hues and connections. Their
stocks, bonds, offices and officers are all
in the east, and the east controls them.”

THE STEPNEY SHOOTING.
Colored Citizens Denounce the Act and
Its Conceialment.
A meeting of colored citizens was held
yesterday afternoon in the First regular
niis'sioiiary Baptist church, for the pur-
pose of protesting against the killing of
William Stepney and the reckless use of
fire arms by police officers.
The pastor, Rev. A. Hubbs, in stating
the purpose of the meeting, said: “I pre-
sume you are all acquainted with it. We
had the call published in The Tribune
this morning, because it ha's the largest
circulation 'of any paper in Galvestori. It
goes to nearly, if not quite, every house
in Galveston 'where there is any one who
can read. So, I like to use The Tribune
for this reason, and also, because it is a
paper that does not play favorites. It
will publish anything of interest to the
public which is fit for publication,
whether it is brought there by. the lowest
- man in town or the highest. Everybody
gets a fair showing, and evil doers are
criticized regardless of position.
“This is not a political movement; it is
just for the right. When I read The Tri-
bune yesterday afternoon.I said there is
very little use for our meeting; these peo-
ple 'have already spoken upon the very
subject, and 'have spoken in the very
stoigest terms 'condemning the outrage
against which we' are going to enter our
protest. However, since’ the meeting has
been appointed, we ’svill act,; not to in-
fluence the courts, but simply to plead for
protection of our lives and property. We
are isimply going to do our duty,
“A few nights ago1 a poor young man got
off a car and was going home when he
was shot down in, the streets of.'this, city
by Officer Cooper, a colored policeman.
The .reason why we are here to make our
protest igainst that deed, is because he
and his associates, his fellow officer's, at-
tempted to hide it. I mean to say just
this—after he was shot by Officer /Cooper
in the presence of two white officers they
denied knowing anything about, it. And
■mind you, they were dressed in citizen’s
clothes. How did that young man know
they were officers? Had they been uni-
formed the young man would perhaps
have readily stopped. If I' should get
off a car at night and a map in -citizen’s
clothes told me to halt, I would suppose he
meant harm, and my first impulse would
be to run. We want the courts, the law
of this country, the chief of police of
Galveston and his assistants to see that
the men intrusted with the protection of
our lives, render us that protection. Offi-
cer Cooper had no warrant for this man,

It i's decreed, too1, that jewels should
be taken apart, and the single stones fas-
tened in their settings on bands of vel-
vet. Then these are used about the
throat, at the waist or over the corsage.
’S'pose you have no jewels? Why, use
■rhinestones, and not one in a hundred
will be the wiser. This rule would have
■the velvet 'Stock collar of the dress' shown
here studded with most expensive glitter,
and, indeed,, permit like1 costly glinting in
other parts of the embellishment. The
dress is worthy of such treatment, being
made of black satin for the skirt, which
is ornamented with applique embroidery,
with dark cream guipure, and stands out
stiffly. Royal blue milk is used for the
jacket bodice, which, has a short ripple
basque, and the fittod vest is of mastic
colored faille, hooking in the center and
showing a yoke Mice fall of lace. The
stock collar is of thefblue velvet and the
outer collar is slashed, wired, edged with
lace and faced with' white silk. Lace
ruffles finish the sleeves. These sleeves
bint of tire said to be coming tight

number 'this sort laone than 20 to 1.
