STATE LEGISLATURE.
Senate Bill Passes House—Self Gov-
ernment For the Philippines
—Governor’s Veto.
Special to the Daily Light.
Austin. Tex. March 16.—1 n the
House this morning the Senate bill re-
quiring railroads to supply cars within
six days after requested to do so. was
passed finally.
In the Senate this morning Senator
Morris introduced a resolution recog-
nizing a self government for the Phil-
ippine Islands and it was made the
special order for next Monday.
The Senate considered at some
length its general appropriation bill
and from present indications will pass
the bill finally by tomorrow.
A message was received from the
governor vetoing the Senate bill au-
thorizing the consolidation of the
Houston and Texas Central the Cen-
tral Texas and Northwestern the Fort
Worth and New Orleans the Lancaster
Tap the Austin and Northwestern
and the Granite Mountain and Marble
Falls railways. The bill is vetoed
principally on the ground that there
is now pending a suit against the Aus-
tin and Northwestern for the forfeit-
ure of its charter on the grounds that
the stock of said road is owned and
controlled by the Southern Pacific
which is interpreted as an unlawful
consolidation.
The enactment of the Senate bill
granting the consolidation would set
aside said suit hence the governor’s
veto.

following from General Otis has
reached the War department:
'Manila. March 16 '99 Adjutant
General Washing ra: Reports from
Iloilo indicate an improvement and
less activity on the part of the insur-

inhabitants are enthusiastic quiet pre-
vails throughout the Island and Colon-
el Smith is directing affairs and fram-
ing an International government
Cebu is quiet and business is pro-
gressing under United States protec-
tion. Reports from Samar and
Leyte indicate a desire of the inhabi-
tants for the United States troops in
these islands. The insurgents’ con-
trol is confined to Luzon and the oc-
cupation of Pasig river line with the
control of Laguan de Bay has cut the
country occupied by the Tagaloa in

AMATEUR THEATRICALS.
There was al good attendance at
Beethoven hall last night to witness
the performances by local talent of
David Garrick. The play is a three-
act comedy and though cast for ama-
tuers it offers a field for the exercise
of considerable talent which was
very much In evidence throughout.
The various interpretations of char-
acter were well sustained and with-
out exaggeration it may be said that
the play was entirely creditable to
those who took part. Mr. L. A.
■Freed as David Garrick moved in the
easy and natural manner of a pro-
fessional holding the interest of the
audience from start to finish.
Mr. Max Blum was a very realistic
old man.
Mr. Joe Marks in his role of a
sporty squire was good.
Miss May Barthell was at once
graceful and pleasing while all of the
other characters were well imper-
sonated.
To relieve the monatony of waits be-
tween acts the audience was treated
to solos by Mrs. Ed Hoyer and Miss
Agnes Wntzlnvzick and an impersona-
tion by Miss Hortense Moke and evi-
denced its appreciation by numerous
encores.

IRON AND STEEL
Advance Goes Right
Along*
NO CHANGE IS IN SIGHT.
All Classes of Iron and Steel
Affected.
DEMAND LARGELY OUTRUNS
THE PRESENT SUPPLY.
The Pace is Considered By Some Too
Fast—One Heavy Contract Taken by
British Iron Masters Way Below the
American Offer—Consolidation.
New York March 16.—The Iron Age
in its review of trade conditions says:
"In all the leading distributing cen-
tres the iron and steel interests are
excited and advances are being made
with bewildering rapidity. The de-
mand keeps up surprisingly well and
for prompt and early delivery it is not
a question of price but simply u mat-
ter of obtaining the material. Still
indications are cropping up that the
pace is too fast and instances have
come to our notice repeatedly of late
of work which is being delayed or
postponed because prices are regarded
as too high. Such cases are isolated
still and do not cut any figure when
compared with the urgency of the de-
mand from many quarters.
“A further sharp advance has been
made in pigiron all along the line
including special grades. In the cen-
tral west some large blocks of Besse-
mer pig may bo offered by the asso-
ciation at an early date. In the east
there have been large sales of low
phosphorous iron and of basic iron.
“Steel has rushed up squarely to
$25.50 to $26 iu the east and close to
the same figure in the central west but
the transactions are not of great mag-
nitude.
“Prices on finished material have
been sharply advanced and sheets
bars pipe structural material and
wire and wire nails are higher and
yet the market is kept clear. The
fact is that large orders keep crop-
ping up for product of all kinds. In
one day a tidewater shipyard had in-
quiries for eleven large steamers and
could not accept a single one.
“Occasionally facts come to the sur-
face which seem to invalidate the
conclusion that we are cutting off our
export trade completely. Among
these we may note the sale of about
3500 tons of merchants pipe by the
National Tubb works to South Afri-
ca or the contract taken by the
Pennsylvania Steel company for the
great Groglick viaduct in Burmah.
which is to be over 300 feet high and
will call for about 3000 tons of mat-
erial.
“As against this we note tha.t this
week an order for about 8000 tons of
cast iron pipe for Buenos Ayres was
lost by the American bidders an En-
glish concern taxing the order at
twelve cents per ton less than the
American bid.
“In consolidation matters little that
is new has cropped up. It is under-
stood that the option to take the ore
of the Oliver interest on a sliding
scale arrangement continues open to
the National Steel company until the
return of H. W. Oliver from the An-
tilles. The National Steel company
has aculred the Thomas Furance at
Niles and is negotiating for other fur-
naces.
“It looks as though the close rela--
tlous necessary between the tinplate
interest and the sheet mills would be
established. Options on the plants
are now being obtained and an organi-
zation may be perfected in a few
Weeks.
“The reports of the sale of the Ash-
land plant to the American Steel and
Wire company are decidedly prema-
ture to put It mildly.
“Lt is understood that an option has
been obtained in the splendid plant
of the Riverside works of Wheeling
by those who are working on the pipe
consolidation.
“The organization of the Castiron
pipe consolidation is to be effected this
week.
A MANILA SKIRMISH.
The Filipinos Found The Americans
Were on Hand.
Manila. March 16.-1:30 p. m—The
insurgents a.t the outposts and in the
trenches beyond Caloocan fired sever-
al volleys last night upon the Kansas
volunteers and a part of the Fourth
regulars desiring it is supposed to
discover if the American line had
been thinned by the movement of
General Wheaton’s command. The
Americans in the trenches rep.ied
warmly to the fire.
H. Y. Beecher of company A. of
the Montana regiment was killed in
the engagement.
A battalion of the Twentieth regu-
lar infantry routed a small band of
Filipinos on the Laguna • road and
some sharpshooters who were firing
from a house over which a French
flag was flying were dislodged.
A gunboat entered the lake and sil-
enceid a one gun battery in the foot-
hills.

SENSATORIAL FIGHT.
Down In Florida a Hot Time Is Ex-
pected.
Jacksonville Fla. March 16.-Two
weeks hence the state Legislature
will convene nt Tallahassee to elect
a successor ito United States Senator
Pasco and as the dare approaches it
becomes more manifest that the fight
for the toga will be a warm one. It
Is to be a three cornered fight between
Senator Pasco. ex-Senator Wilkinson
Call and Colonel James C. Taliaferro
of this city. Senator Pasco's main
support in his fight for re-election lies
in his thorough knowledge of the poli-
tical game and the grip he admitted-
ly holds on a large part of the state
political machine. Col. Taliaferro
has the advantage of being immensely
wealthy and another thing in his
favor is the prevailing sentiment in
Florida that there should be notation
in office. Ex-Senator Call despite his
former political prestige is now re-
garded more as a dark horse to be
brought out in case Pasco fails on the
first ballot than as an actual factor
in the attempt to defeat the latter’s
election. Notwithstanding the confi-
dential claims of the Call and Tall-
ferro factions the friends pf Pasco
say they anticipate no more difficulty
in securing his re-election next month
than they had six years ago when the
opposition was considered even
stronger and more widespread than it
is at present.
DOMINION PARLIAMENT
Nothing of Much Importance. Is Ex
pected of This Session.
Ottawa. Ont. March 16.—1 t is the
general opinion of those beat qualified
to speak that the session of the Dom-
inion Parliament which opened today
will not be notable either for the
quantity or importance of the legisla-
tive matters with which it will deal.
Nevertheless the opposition promises
to make a lively session of it and in
view of the fact that a general elec-
tion is expected next summer the op-
positiou members are preparing to
make a vigorous fight ou all subjetes.
and particularly on matters relating
to the convention. This condition of
affairs makes it difficult to forecast
the probable length of the session and
prorogating may not be reached be-
fore midsummer despite the fact that
the programme in the way of gov-
ernment legislation is understood to
be shorter than usual.

A Revolutionary Agent Com-

HE WILL ASK FOR CESSATION
OF MILITARY RULE.

Are Working is No
Disaffection With Henry's Rulo Savo
Among the Adventurers
Sau Juan de Porto Rico. March 4.—
Muuoz Rivera until recently secretary
of state In the Porto Rican cabinet
aud the most accomplished politician
in the islands will sail on March 10th
for Cuba whern he will hold confer-
ences with the Cuban party and then
proceed to the United States. In
Washington he will it is said endeav-
or to attack the military government
without attacking the military gover-
nor. He will it is claimed demand
a civil government for his people who
are now bitterly warring among them-
selves for political supremacy and he
will urge the withdrawal of American
troops from the most important strat-
egic base possessed by the United
States in Atlantic waters.
It is known to a chosen few that
Munoz will endeavor to effect an en-
tente with tlie Cuban leaders and will
seek to unite his cause with that of
the Cubans.
Frequent publication is made in the
local press of letters that pass between
the two islands upon the subject of
American rule iu Porto Rico. The
Porto Rican leaders of Spanish tend-
encies aud followers of Munoz Rivera
refer with sympathy to the conduct of
the Cubans who they say worked as a
united people for their independence.
Since bls deposition from the cabinet
by General Henry Rivera's party has
been the subject of a vigorous attack
by the radicals.
Hermlni Diaz the new secretary of
justicewas appointed by General Hen-
ry as a representative of the Liberal
party and because of his relations with
Rivera whom the general desired to
treat with consideration. Three or four
newspapers of Ponce began a cam-
paign of scurrilous abuse agaiust Diaz
and the military government.
They were warned to moderate their
articles but the warning was passed
unheeded. One morning last week the
citizens of Ponce missed their papers
and upon going down town found the
offices occupied by American troopers
who had been ordered by the district
commander to close the establish-
ments. The editor of one of the pa-
pers refused to submit to the officer
who took possession of his office. In
the altercation that followed the edi-
tor drew a knife. A soldier from Mis-
souri in the excitement of the moment
used his fist with almost deadly ef-
fect upon the fighting journalist. It
was some hours before the latter reviv-
ed.
Many unfortunate collisions with
drunken soldiers and natives have
contributed to the undercurrent of bad
feeling that runs among the lower
classes.
In a recent trip around the island a
general feeling of discontent and un-
rest was discovered.
There are a great many idle men all
over the island and the great party of
attaches and hangers on that were a
part of the Spanish system and which
occasioned an enormous burden for the
tax payers are being discharged.
The prospect of building the remain-
der of the railway system owned by
the French company is hailed with de-
light by the laboring men of the Island.
A few million dollars put in such an
enterprise would make peaceful people
and good Americans of them all.
A representative of the railway has
been traveling about the island recent-
ly preparing plans for the extension
of the road. Planters and laborers
alike pray for the completion of the
road. The city is anxious to complete
the work and is now arranging some
details with the local government. M.
Charpantier who has been here for
several months studying this matter
will depart for Washington on the
steamer San Marcos.
He will urge upon the president and
secretary of war a recognition of the
contract and concession of the French
company.
The new insular police lias been or-
ganized and employment will bo given
to more than three hundred men who
will aid the army and the municipal
police in preserving order. This body
will be conducted on the military plan
and in many respects correspond to the
gnardia civil of Spain and Mexico.
The politicians here are beginning to
see that the flrm and impartial method
of the governor general is a wise one.
NINE NEGROES SHOT BY A MOB.
Atlanta. Ga.. March 16.—A special to

says: Nine negroes charged with ar-
son were shot down by a mob at two
o’clock this morning. No further par-
ticulars as yet.
RURAL FREE DELIVERY.
Popular With All Except the Fourth
Class Past masters.
New York March 16.—A dispatch to
the Tribune from Washington says:
The Postoffice department is con-
stantly receiving a large amount of ev-
idence tending to show the popularity
of the rural free delivery system
where it has been tried and the desire
for the extension of the service to oth-
er territory where it is not yet in oper-
ation.
The original appropriation by the
last Congress under President Cleve-
land's administration for the trial of
the system was $50000 and the Fifty-
fourth Congress followed this with an
appropriation of $150000 to continue
the experiment. The Congress just
ended increased tills amount to $300.-
000 and the system is now considered
practically a permanent feature of the
Postoffice department. It is said by
the officials that great satisfaction has
been expressed nnd those familiar
with the subject say that in populous
sections where the country is thickly
interspersed with farmhouses and cor-
respondence naturally is considerable
the system will Ite self-sustaining. The
only persons it is said who are oppos-
ed to free rural delivery are the
fourth class postmasters who lose not
only their revenue from stamp cancel-
lations. but also the privilege of doling
out provisions of various kinds to the
patrons of the office who naturally in
a good many cases deal with them in
the grocery line the fourth class post-
masters usually keeping a store.
The service has now lieen extended
by the department to nearly all the
states and territories and in such states
as have made application the depart-
ment is now considering the most ad-
visable system to introduce. In some
of the sparsely settled regions where
the farms are large and the distances
between houses Is great experiment
is being made with the bi-weekly and
trl-weekly system instead of a weekly.
SAMOAN TROUBLES
The German Consul is a Rampnut
Marplot
Apia. Samoa. March 10 via Auck-
land N. Z.. March 16.—Owing to
threats by the Mataafa people to burn
the Malietea village in the island of
Savaii unless they sent taxes levied
upon them and a number of soldiers
to support Mataafa the British con-
sul visited Savaii on the British
cruiser Porpoise and the command-
er of that vessel threatened to shell
the villages of Mataafa's followers if
peace was disturbed.
The British and American consuls
have issued proclamations denying
the rumors in circulation to the effect
that Mataafa had been recognized and
threatening strong action if the provi-
sional government interfered with loy-
alists.
The German consul refused to join
with the British and American rep-
resentatives and issued a proclamation
upholding the provisional government
and denying that there had been any
interference by the Malietoa party.
He added to this document an extra-
ordinary paragraph expressing the
hope that the provisional government
would be able to encounter the danger
caused anew to the peace of the coun-
try and the safety of the inhabitants
by the English and American procla-
mation."
This has put more heart into the
rebels and therefore numbers of arm-
ed warriors are gathering.
(the United States cruiser Philadel-
phia Admiral Kautz commanding
has arrived here and the admiral has
held extended consolations with the
various consuls Chief Justice Cham-
bers and Captain Sturdee. of the Por-
poise. x .
The provisional government has re-
moved the Malietoa prisoners to a
stronghold on the mainland firing
volleys over their heads during the
transfer in order to intimidate them.
A friendly feeling is shown by offi-
cers and men of the American and
British navies here. The American
admiral convened a meeting of the
consuls the chief justice and the cap-
tains of the various warships Includ-
ing Germans aboard the flagship and
it is probable the result will be the
presentation of an ultimatum. It is
genrally thought that fighting is like-
ly to occur.

Generals Brooke aud Gomez Are in
Cordial Co-operation and There is
No Doubt That the Program of the
United States Will Be Carried Out.
New York March 16.—A dispatch to
the Tribune from Havana says: *
The elimination of the so-called mil-
itary assembly at Cuerro as a factor
in the restoration of order and the
reestablishment of government In Cu-
ba seems now an accepted fact. In-
terest has practically ceased in the cul-
minations of that extraordinary and
irresponsible body a mere revolution-
ary fungus which seeks to perpetuate
its growth under conditions which
have long ago demonstrated its futil-
ity and uselessness. Only a few days
ago one of its frothiest orators com-
pared this moribund assembly to the
history making constitutional assem-
bly which met at Versailles in 1798
and completed his simile by likening
Gomez to an end of the century Mira-
beau which had entered into negotia-
tions with another Marie Antionette.
A far less grandiloquent description
of the'Cerro Junta is given in Ln
Lucha which suggests that in the
United States equal weight would at-
tach to a gathering of veterans of
the civil war with brevet titles a few
colonels “a la mode do Kentucky” one
or two who had fought in the Span-
ish war at the camps at Jacksonville
or Tampa and a few not very belllg
erent school teachers which should
declare vacant by resolution the office
of the general commanding the Amer-
ican army.
Not a single newspaper in Havana
Cuban or Spanish has yet had a word
to say in defense of the assembly's at-
tempt to depose General Gomez al-
though the editor of one of the more
radical Cuban organs La Discusssion
sits in the assembly and casts his vote
with the majority for the revocation
of Gomez' commission. There was
an urgent reason for silence however
on this editor’s part for curiously
enough the handlers and dealers in
newspapers here unanimously agreed
to circulate no journal which contained
attacks on the deposed general In
chief.
That General Brooke would continue
to recognize General Gomez as the
only responsible agent through whom
the payment of arrears to the Cuban'
soldiers could be made has been a fore-
gone conclusion for several days.
This morning the Cuban command-
er visited the governor general’s head-
quarters by invitation and the two
had a friendly talk on the best means
of carrying the distribution Into effect.
The Meade which carries the $3000-
000 allotment is expected to arrive
here" before the end of the week and
after the conference between the two
generals was over it was announced
that payment would be begun prompt-
ly under the conditions contemplated
in the original settlement with the
Washington authorities. This deci-
sion virtually dissolves the military
assembly for there is now no prospect
that the commission appointed yester-
day to visit the United States and ap-
peal to the president for authority to
contract a larger loan can ever T eac“
the Federal capital before the army
receives the promised arrears ami the
process of disbandment begins.
