Must File Their Charters.
Nashvillk July 5. Under the ac
of the general assembly in 1891 all for
elgn corporations doing business in
Tennessee are required to file copies of
their charters with the secretary of
state. In compliance with this act
the companies claimed made them to
all intents and purposes domestic cor-
porations. The constitutionality of
the act was tested and the supreme
court held it valid. Many foreign in-
surance companies decided to with-
draw and so far about 50 have gone
out. The secretary of state asked the
attorney general for an opinion on the
subject." Today he received a reply to
the effect that all foreign corporations
having agencies iu the state must file
copies of their charters at once or be
subject to heavy line. I
SEVEN MEN TO DIE.
Choctawi Convicted of Murder to Be Iho
By the Sheriff Today.
Wilburton I. T. July 5. Consid-
erable excitement is apparent here
over what action Governor Jones will
take in the matter of commuting the
death sentence imposed upon seven
Choctaw now awaiting execution at
this place. The governor has re-
ceived a message from the authorities
at Washington askiug if there is any
authority whereby the chief magis-
trate of the Choutaws may commute
the sentence of death. What reply
the governor sent is not known but
the general impression here is that the
execution " will occur according
to present arrangements as
the Choctaw law makes no
provision whatever for commutation
of sentences. It is generally conceded
however that if the governor should
fully submit to the demands of the
general government for the release cf
the prisoners such action would go far
in the direction of allaying bad blood
engendered during the lust Choctaw
cimpaign. If the war department is
forced to arbitrary methods iu order
to quell the present trouble the result
would be disastrous in the end and re-
sult in the overthrow entirely of the
present government
ITALY.
CHURCH MATTERS IS ARUKNTI2JK.
Romk July 5. President Saenz
Teuaof Argentine has informed the
Vatican that he will send a special
representative to settla with the peo-
ple. All subjects at issue bet ween the
government and Rome concerning the
church in the republic. The pope has
give 500 OIK) francs to be used iu spread-
ing the propaganda of faith in foreign
countries.
FORMING A UNION.
Romk July 5. Negotiations are
lmtwwn the iroverninents of
Italy. France Belgium and Switzer-
land looking to protection of iuterests
of nations composing the Latin union
in consequence of the action of the
government of India in regard to the
silver currency of India. It is believed
that none of' the members of the
union will withdraw from it. In
Berne minting of one half one and
two francs pieces have been almost
8'ispended. A few five franc pieces are
still be'iig coined.
KOGER a MILLS
A Oaest of the Capital City Yesterday He
Leaves Today f3iHome.
ThoHou. Roger Q. Mills favored
the Capital city yesterday with his
presence. He came iu on the north-
bound train yesterday morning and
took apartments at the Avenue. A
Btatesman reporter dropped In on
u latinimlahnd truest soon after his
IUD UWHUf O
arrival atter climbing two flights of
stairs and loana mm conversing
itk & frinnd. The senator looked
bright even though he had wander
ed awsy bck Into the a?e the day
before at San Marcos and gave
a cheerful greeting to all
commera In reply to a question as
to whether he had anything to say.
He rented that he knew no.hing out-
side of its being hot. That he had
been caught up on the Han Marcos
speech and was now on his way home
to get a new shirt and some addition-
al clothing preparatory to going lo
consrreeB. That he had not expecieu
to be called to Washington bo soon
and it interferred to some extent
with his arrangements fr the sum-
mer At the mention of the word
summer the honorable gentleman
glancing at the brUht sun-
shine out doors arose and parted
company with his coat. Unbuttoning
his vest he assumed an easier posi-
tion where the breeze could strike
him. The senator will go to Wash-
ington to help repeal the sliver bill
that Is causing such trouble in the
country at present. It Is not known
for certain that he told Geo. Bailey
about this but at any rate George
can rest assured that his immense
fortune will be safe when Henator
Mills gets to Washington. The sena-
tor realizes that the Interests
of the country demands some
change in this grievous legisla-
tion and he goes prepared to
to do his best for the country's Inter-
est. All day long he was hairassed
by office seekers and it may be safely
recorded that the distinguished
gentleman was tired out when night
came.
ENTERTAINED.
During the afternoon starting at
4:30 o'clock the management of the
Ben flur gave a complimentary ex-
cursion to Henator Mills that was at-
tended by a large crowd. The run
was made up to Santo Monies springs
and return. Hon K. M. Hall pro-
posed a toast en route 'o "Our Guest
the Hon. linger (J. Mills." A happy
response was made by Colonel Dan
Malvin. Henator Mills made a brief
sneech of thanks to the management
of the boat and the citizens of Austin
for their cordial welcome. He was
followed by Major Geo. B. Zimple-
man who took the opportunity to
publicly thaDklng the management of
the Ben Hur lor their generosity in
tendering Austin's distinguished
guest such a delightful excursion on
our beautiful lake. The papty re
turned to the city about 9 o'clock and
partook of refreshments at the En
glish kitchen. Henator Mills leaves
this morning for his home in Corsi-
cana and from there he will go to
Washington.
THE SABBATH DAY.
A Faitoral Letter From the Ministerial
Association of This City.
The pastors of the Austin Ministerial
association have noticed with deep
regret the inroads that amusements
recreations etc. are maklDg upon the
observance of the Sabbath lu Austin
as a day of worship and of rest.
We believe that one of the most
beneficent gilts of the wise Creator to
the needy children of men is the Bab-
bath. Without it life would bo a
monotonous treadmill and man a
weary animal.
Without arguing as to whether the
Sabbath was ever observed too strict-
ly thus making a burden instead of a
delight. We believe that at the pres-
ent time the tendency is all the other
way. and that gradually the inroads
ot business and pleasure upon the
sacredness of the day are men as to
threaten to leave us Boon without any
Sabbath. As Premier Gladstone says
of the desecration of the Sabbath
"beware lest you girdle the tree that
shades you." Therefore la order that
the law of God be more sincerely
obeyed and that neither we nor our
children lose the benefit physically
mentally and spiritually of the right
observance of the Habbetb we do
urge upon all members of our chrches
and congregations and upon all well
disposed people that refraining from
such employments and recreations as
a conscience enlightened by the Holy
Scripture leaches us is the will ot
God concerning the Sabbath they so
spend the Sabbath as to honor God
and secure His rich blessing and re-
ward." The above paper was adopted by
the Austin Ministerial association at
a meeting held on July 3 1803 and it
was voted to have it published in our
papers.

THOSE ANARCHISTS.
The New York Post Says That Governor
Altgeld Has Always Been a Sympathizer.
Governor Ahgeld's reasons for set-
ting the verdict aside are even more
astonishing than his action itself. He
sets forth iu a message of 17000 words
which is a long and angry arraign-
meet of everybody concerned in bring-
ing the anarchists to justice. He de
clares that the jury was packed and
selected to convict; that the jurors
were not competent and the trial
therefore was hot a legal trial; that
the defendants were not proven guilty
of the crime charged in the indict
ment; that the judge was either pre
judiced against the defendants or so
determined to win the applause of a
certain class in the community that
he could not and did not grant a fair
trial conducting It "with a malicious
ferocity" and writing about the case
atter the trial was over with a "fero-
city or subserviency without parallel
In all history." Iu fact the document
reads almost as if the governor him-
self was an anarchist. Heshows very
clearly that he has always been in
sympathy with them and has improv-
ed his first opportunity to nullify the
courts which did not agree with bis
view of the case. His conduct fur
nishes an additional and startling ex-
ample of tho dangers which lurk in
having the pardoning power lodged
In tho hands of the executive and as
such strengthens the argumejt
against the abolishment of capital
punishment. Unquestionably if the
four other anarchists had not been
hanged they would have been par
doned wun their associates now.
HENRY PURNELL
AFTES MONTHS OF SUFFERING IN
THE COUNTY JAIL
Was Taken to the City Hospital Last After-
noon The Asylum Officials in Be-
v fusing to Admit tHim Are
Hastening His End.
For months Henrj Purnellhas been
an iumate of the county jail. His
condition during that time has been
exceedingly plttilul. Insanity in its
gloomiest form has marked every ac-
tion of this man since his confinement
in the jail. The asylum officials both
here and at San Antonio have been
appealed to time and again to admit
him but always iu vain. Some ar-
gue that this continual retueal Is due
to the fact that Purnell killed
Dr. Reeves superintendent of this
a-ylum hsre. Be that as it may ad-
mission has been denied him. The
jail officers here have done their best
for him nut an to no purpose ne
has been gradually getting worse and
worse. Within the past few days he
has refused utterly to eat or hold any
communion with them around him.
His condition g ew so critical yester
day that the county commissioners in
session took action upon the matter
and ordered his removal to the city
hospital which was done last after-
noon. It was thought last night that
his end was very near. His death is
in a measure due to lack of treatment.
The jail officials did ail in their power
for him but not being fixed for such
cases could not of course give him that
attention that was necessary. The
following are the official proceedings
relative to the matter by the county
commissioners. 1 N
To tbe Honorable Commissioners Travis
county.
Gentlemen I feel it my duty as
county Judge of Travis county to
order the removal of Henry Purnell
who is confined in Travis county jail
convicted of lunacy being unable to
have him admitted into any of the
asylums of the state to the county
and city hospital for proper treatment
as he is virtually now lingering in life
and believe if proper care is not given
him hi will soon depart from this life.
I therefore request the count to au-
thorize the employment of two guards
one day and one night both to re-
main at the hospital.
Very Respectfully
W. Von Rosenberg Jb
County Judge.
Whereas One Henry Purnell ad
judged a lunatic by the county court
of Travis county Texas on the 20tn
day of April A. D. 1892 and incarcer-
ated since that date in Travis county
jail without intermission although
repeated applications have been made
to have him removed to one of the
state institutions for the insane foi
proper care and treatment said appli
cation having been refused on grounds
personal and otherwise by the various
superintendents; and
Whereas The said Purnell is in a
very precarious condition having re-
fused all food since Thursday June
29th and also having refused to speak
to any of the friends or attendants
waiting upon him; and
Whereas it is our belief that
this result has been caused by his con-
tinuad confinement in consequence of
tbe refusal of the various asylums to
receive him and that his life is there-
by in extreme jeopardy.
It is hereby ordered that the county
judge of Travis county Texas at his
written request is hereby authorized
to employ two guards one for day
and one for night to take charge of
the said Purnell in the city and coun-
ty hospital and the county physician
is hereby instructed to the charge of
said Purnell and use his best endeav-
ors to bring him back to the condition
In which he originally entered the
said jail.
Failed to Suicide.
Special to The Statesman.
GaiA'kston July 5. Today on the
beach at the oot Bath avenue a
man named Hill from Fort Worth at-
tempted to blow his brains out. The
ball however instead of crashing
through the skull deflected around
across the forehead inflicting a pain-
ful but not fatal wound. The man
who is here with his wife was taken
charge of by friends who refused to
assign any reason for his rash act or
give his full name.
Executions Postponed.
Special to The Statesman.
Paris Tex. July 5. The interior
department ordered the execution of
the five Choctaws at Wilburton to be
held up pending investigation and
sent Inspector Fraison to Wilburton

will have the trial thoroughly investi-
gated. DEPARTMENT NOTES.

tion August 23.
The county judges of the state ot
Texas will meet in this city in annual
convention August 23. During the
course of this meeting some very im
portant questions will be discussed by
county judges of the different sections
oi the state looking to the official du
ties ot tneir omce. rnese aiscussious
will doubtless prove of great value to
the delegates as a general discussion
will be permitted on every surged
brought up. Immediately upon the
conclusion of tbe convention tbe
judges will go to Chicago in a body to
see tne great fair. All arrangements
bave about been perfected for cneao
but desirable accomodation while in
the windy city and the occasion ot
this excursion will doubtless draw
more judges to this convention than
ever attended any former one so Aus-
tin should look well how she enter-
tains them.

THE NATION'S CAPITAL.
PRODUCTION OF SILVER IN THE WEST
NOT DIMINISHING.
Hare Silver Offered Than for Correspond-
ing Period Last Year Appropriation
Bills to Go Before the Extra Ses-
sionNo Silver Parent Bed.
Washington July 5. Inquiry at
the treasury department as to whether
the amount of silver offered the gov-
ernment was as large now as formerly
developed the fact that for the first
six months of the current calendar
year offers aggregated 52300000
ounces while for the same period last
year there were only 45350000 ounces
showing an excess for corresponding
period of this year of 6950000 ounces
which would indicate that the produc-
tion of silver was not falling off in
the United States. The amount of
silver bullion imported for the first six
months of the current calendar year
including that in ores was 8471000
ounces while there has been exported
11908000 ounces. Of that amouut of
silver offered to the government dur-
ing this period 27000000 ounces were
purchased. A proposition which has
been talked of to adopt a resolution t t
the extra session giving the president
p nver to suspend until such time a9
he may see fit the purchase of silver
bullion is one that does not meet
with approval and silver men say they
would tiht such a proposition with as
much vior as they will the repeal of
tbe Shermau law for they believe the
effect of such resolution in the hands
of Mr. Cleveland whose views on sil-
ver are known would be the same as
repeal.
APPROPRIATION BILLS.
It has been stated that appropria-
tion bills will be taken up by the ex-
tra session before even the financial
question.
DEPARTMENT REPORTS.
At the treasury department today it
was learned that a requst for the var-
ious departments to submit their es-
timates for the next fiscal year was
made before the call for the extra ses-
sion. Secretary Hoke Smith accompanied
by members of Iih lamily will leave
Washington next Saturday for a tour
of the West. He will visit the Yellow-
stone National park and' several In-
dian reservations and expects to re-
turn to Washington by August 1l He
will go direct to Chicago arriving
there Sunday afternoon.
NO SILVER PURCHASED.
Acting Mint Director Preston did
not purchase any silver today as he
considered offers made too high. He
did Dot as has been done recently
make counter offers and as a result no
silver will be purchased by the govern-
ment until Friday and not theu if of-
fers are at figures higher than he
thinks they should be.
WEATHER AND CROP BULLETIN.
During the past week the weather
was especially favorable to the corn
crop. Keports from the cotton region
indicate that the cotton crop is im-
proving but the plant is small. Re-
ports from the spring wheat region in
dicate improved conditions in that
section owing to recent rains. Special
telegraphic reports show:
Mississippi Condition generally dis
couraging; rain needed in most sec-
tions; cotton small but in good grow-
in? condition.
Louisiana Rain would be beneficial
to rice and corn; cane in good condi-
tion aijd very promising; cotton im-
proved; crevasse water receding quite
ranidly.
Texas Dry weather has been favor-
able for cotton over the eastern por-
tion of the state where it has enabled
farmers to clean out their fields . O ver
the western portions of the state cot-
ton is needing rain Early corn is jn
good crop but corn is needing r un
generally and is suffering over the
west portion ot the state.
Arkansas Cotton is growinsr fast.
squares forming and blooming but
most oi tne crop grassy corn much
improved and large acreage being
planted or late overflowed lands. Hay
is injured and wheat and oats dam-
aged in shock by frequent showers.
Tennessee The wheat harvest is
about completed and threshing is in
progress yield good; oats and hay ex-
cellent. Corn growing nicely cotton
small but doing well.

Fort Worth City Officials Will Not Becog-
" size the School Board's Treasurer.
8pecial to the Statesman.
Fort Worth July 6. Something
of a conflict it is thought will be rais-
ed by the demand of the treasurer of
the new school board of the city coun-
cil concerning the custody of the-
books papers accounts and funds of
the city relating to the public schools.
The city collector and the treasurer
are of the opinion that the treasurer

mand with favor.
It is thought the question will
shortly present itself for definite solu
tion.
