The general appropriation bill will
reach the free conference committee
Monday about noon and they will at
onc-e commence their task. The ques-
tion as to whether the bill will be ap-
proved or not, depends largely on the
personnel of the confreres. Many
members now believe that the govern-
or will not approve the bill and will te-
call the lawmakers back, give them a
severe lesson and urge upon them to
pass a bill within the limit of the
state's revenue. There are many who
believ" that instead of vetoing the bill
the governor will cut out and trim it
down to a safe margin. This will
prove an extremely difficult task as
the Items are so bulked that they can-
not be cut down without injuring the
entire appropriation.
Should he strike out certain items i
he will surely incur the displeasure of j
those members who have labored so i
assiduously on some pet measuree!
which they wish to get through. It is
well known that th" appropriation blil
from the house curries almost $1,000,-
000 In excess of the estimated reve-
nues, while the senate bill goes the
house bill about $500,000 better still.
This is the present status of the mat-
ter.

GAINING IN FORCE.
Salonlcn. April 25.—The Insurrec-
tion has assumed the most alarming
proportions und has now become the
occasion for tho gravest uneasiness,
having extended far beyond the mo-
nastic districts, and the ranks of the
revolutionaries are being materially
augmented every day. Members «f
the young Bulgarian party are Joining
the revolutionary ranks and a very
large force will be necessary to re-
strain them.
A Greek bishop has applied to the
Porte for protection, fearing that th*;
feeling against him may not be re-
strained much longer. The Turkish
reports from Usknub are equally dis-
concerting, where the Insurgents are
fast becoming moro uncontrollable,
and more aggressive.

be hard to beat.

noon. The wind off the naval station
just outside Newport at its heaviest

passed by the last legislature restrict-
ing the sale of that drug does not be-
come effective for ninety days until
after the adjournment of the legisla-
ture, which means that it will become
a law on July 1.
Many druggists throughout the state
were under the impression that the
bill went into immediate effect, but it
failed to receive the necessary two-
thirds and, therefore, does not take ef-
fect at once.

rapidly burned. The Bryan street

For many years the Windsor was
Texas' leading hotel. It was the head-
quarters of the big politicians of the
state and the rendezvous of leading
business men of the Southwest. The
coming of the Oriental changed all this,
and the Windsor dropped to second
place, and last year was closed by or-
der of its owner. Two weeks ago its
doors were thrown open to the public
again as a rooming house. The growth
of Dallas since 1900 has been marvel-
ous, and the hotel facilities are wholly
inadequate. This has led the owners
of the Oriental to make additional in-
vestments, nnd a new annex will be
built this fall.
Down-town property owners are in-
terested in having a commodious hotel
in that section of the town, and there
is a move 011 to form a company and
expend $100,000 to $150,000 In remodeling
the Windsor. A mooting of parties who
are Interested was held one day last
week. Colonel John N. Simpson, own-
er of the Windsor property, was an
active participant In this conference,
and three or four heavy capitalists
were among the participants. Another
conference will be held shortly, and
then the plans of the company will b->
given to the public. It is contended
that the Windsor Is In the center of
the wholesale district, convenient ta
the railroad depots, ancl that the com-
ing of the Rock Island and the Frisco
will place the Windsor within a block
of the passenger stations to. b" built
by these roads. It Is understood that
an attempt will be made to purchase
the lot corner Main nnd Market streets,
now the site of the Fulton market.
If this deal can be carried through
then the Windsor will cover the entir«
block. It will be remodeled, through-
out. and the present structure will b«
converted into a modern hotel build-
ing with all the twentieth century con-
veniences, according to those who are
in the confidence of the men who ar«
taking an ac live part In the re-organl-
r.atlon. And the largest property own-
ers down town are said to be In the
deal.
