STABBED AND HIS HOME FIRED,
Thrilling Experience of a San Antonio
Citizen With a Mexican.
San Antonio, Tex., July 2.—J. W. Lee, a
newsdealer of thie city, mot with a thrilling
experience this morning about 2 o'clock. Ho
lives at 424 Augusta street and was awakened
by a voice in the room below the ono in which
ho was sleeping. Ho wont down to investi-
gate and suddenly ran upon a Mexican who,
finding himself discovered, struck at Mr. Lee
with a knife, stabbing him twice in the arm.
Mr. Lee was then felietl to the floor by a blow
from the Mexican and lost consciousness.
When he came to he wr ■ ly > on the dining

Toots Still Free.
Foht Worth, Tex., July 2.—Nothing haB yet
been hoard of Jim Curtis, alias Toots, the
negro who is suspected of having shot Officer
Lee Waller last Tuesday night, and Chief
Maddox and his efficient force are working
upon every clew, however slight, regarding the
whereabouts of the man. Late last night a
posse of officers again orossod the river in the
locality of Silvania, scoured in the vicinity for
a time and returned to town. During the en-
tire night Chief Maddox maintained a tireless
search for the suspect, but was obliged to go
home at daylight as much at sea as
ever. This morning it was rumored
that a negro answering Toots' description
had been overhauled at some point
north of here on the Denver road, but noth-
ing definite could be learned regarding the re-
port. A young countryman came into town
this morning and reported to the police that
ho had seen a man sleeping in a secluded spot
in the bottoms and toward the packing house,
and parties went there and found a poor, worn-
out tramp, who was not disturbed by the offi-
cers. All is theory and conjecture, yet the
greater part of the people Beem quite san-
guine that the man is in the city limits. There
has now been offered over $500 in rewards,
including $251) and a generous fund made up
by members of ttie police force. It is believed
Governor Hogg will also offer a reward in be-
half of the state.

Lampasas, Tex., July 2.—Judge Clark ar-
rived here yesterday on the 0 o'clock train.
Hundreds of people were waiting at the depot
to give the Little Giant a warm reception
to tho .Sulphur city.
As the train rolled in and Judge Clark
emerged from the car the people yelled and
Bhouted and threw their hats and umbrellas
into the air. The judge immediately took a
carriage and the procession, consisting of the
Lampasas [brass band, Mabry guards, car-
riages, buggies and on horseback proceeded
through the city and to the Park hotel whore
a ttalute of 100 guns was being fired.

$20,000,000 to Jay Gould'* wealth and tides oa
Tsv'a rvnml "V ,>n«? far he
and not for the railroads," "Clark and pros-
perity," "Away with the dom'igogeries and
railroad wreckers," "Governor Clark means
millions for Texas—Hogg means millions for
banks but not ono dollar for the poople."

about 1000 people, gathered into the Hanna
hall, and at 2 o'clock Judge Walter Acker as-
cended the platform aud in a few well chosen
words introduced tho Little Giant of TexaB,
after which Judge Clark took the Btand and
pointed out the errors of the present gov-

beauties of an elective commission and ex-
plained other points he and Governor Hogg
differed upon.
His speech waa well received and frequently
applauded. _

dorse his actions and course, and that the peo-
ple through their senator and representatives
use all honorable means to re-elect him to the
United States senate.
In Mr. Giddings' speech ho said the namo
that ho would have indorsed was an honorable
name, known in every home, not only in
Texas, but in every part of this great country
of ourB, and only second to that of that patriot
and statesman, Grovor Cleveland. At the
mention of the name of Mr. Cleveland the
cheering was hearty and long, but the name
of Mills brought the convention to its feet.
The motion was seconded by every county
delegation in the convention and earned
unanimously.

Major Joseph D. Sayera, which was done amid

GAGGED BY TYRANT RULE.
THE HOUSE DEMOCRATS WILL SEEK
TO UNTIE THEMSELVES.
Ready to Pass the Free Coinage Bill—A
Sarcastic Inquiry from Senator Far-
well in Print.
Washington, July 2.—[Special.]—The ex-
citement over the passage of the Bilver bill by
the senate has not yet died out. The free
coinage people are wild with joy and say
they can win in tho house with hands down.
Pierce of Tennessee, one of the most ardent
free coinage men and who led in the getting
up of the petition for a rule to have a vote on
the bill, and whom, it may incidentally be re-
marked, is being whooped up in his district
because the house has not passed a free coin-
age bill, says that thero will be no undue
haste in getting the senate bill before the
house. He says experience has taught tho
free coinage men to move cautiously and that
they will not bring up the measure until a
quorum of democrats can be brought on the
floor, something which it has been exceedingly
difficult to obtain for tho past month or two.
The programme now is to refer the bill on
Tuesday to the committee on coinage, weights
and measures aud then a resolution will be
introduced which will be referred to the com-
mittee on rules. This resolution will provide
that tho present rule, which provides for the
bringing up of a measure by a two-thirds
vote, shall be changed bo that a majority can
suspend the rules and take up a bill. Thus
the Bilver men think they can avoid the em-
barrassment of forcing the committee on
rules to bring in a closure rule and doubtless
tho committee on rules will gladly avail itsolf
of it.
Under such a change of rule the river and
harbor bill can be quickly disposed of and so
can the bill putting tin plate on the free list.
In fact it is placing in the hands of a majority
of the house the powor to do business and will
doubtless meet with support all around.
If the rule is changed—and there is every
prospect of it—tho free coinage bill will pass.
Mr. Reed remarked when the bill passed
the sonate that it looked as if the democrats
wore trying to help the republican ticket and
the republicans appeared to be trying to aid
the democratic ticket. He of course alluded
to the senate.
When the bill passed by t"..e senate yester-
day was brought into the house this morning
boforo even the journal was road, it was re-
ceived with tumultuous applause.
One of the remarkablo things connected
with the paiMga of the free coinage bill by
tho senate was that Mr. Gorman was present
when the unanimous agreement to take up tho
bill was entered into and proposed no objec-
tions and yet whon the bill caino up under tho
agreement he put an entirely different con-
struction on the agreement to that which the
silver senators put 011 it.
A sensational telegram appears here from
ex-Senator Farwell of Illinois, addressed to
the Post as follows:
'•Editor Post: I see by the nowspai>er8 that at
the urgent solicitation of tho president of tho
United States ono William James Campbell of
Illinois tins been inude chairman of tho national
republican committee. Some three years a*ro,
more or less, while I was in the sonate of the
United States 1 recommonded 'a gentleman by
tho name of William J. Campbell for tlio office of
collector of customs at Chicago. All tho repub-
lican members of congress recommended this
gentleman nt the same time for this office. The
president said that he was a professional lobby-
ist aud unfit, for this position and that ho would
not appoint him. Will you be kind enough to in-
form me whether the Campbell appointed chair-
man of tlio national committee at the urgont re-
quest of tlio president is the same Campbell whom
he refu.ed to appoint to a federal position be-
cause lie was a professional lobbyist and unfit
for it.
(Signed) C. B. Fabwkll.
This is particularly interesting, as It goes to
Bhow, first, that the good Mr. Harrison, while
unwilling to trust a man in public office, is
willing to select him to run his campaign;
and second, it shows that the Farwell school
of politics in Illinois is against Mr. Harrison,
thus adding evidence to the truth of what tho
Illinois democracy say—that thoy can oarry
the state.
Abner Taylor, a republican member of con-
gress from Chicago, commenting on Harri-
son'a lightning change as to Campbell, Bays
that this is tho day of throe-ring circuses and
men who can turn two somersaults, whon thoy
uBed to havo one ring and ono somersault. So
it is in politics and Mr. Harrison is the cham-
pion in his class.
Congressman Crain was this ovoning seized
with a kind of oramps in the stomach while
in the house. He went into tho clonk room
and finally went to a private hospital, where
he was speedily relieved of his pains. Ho is
not at all in a dangerous condition, though
wild reportB were circulated to that effeot.
The Course of ltuslnea*.
Washington, July 2.—According to the
rules of the house the free silver bill, which
came over from the senate, will lie on the
speaker's table one legislative day and then
be referred to the committee on coinage,
weights and measures. As tho house ad-
journed to-day until Tuesday the bill
will not get before the committee
until that day. Wednesday is the
regular meeting day of the committee
on coinage and it is probable, if
nothing unforseen occurs, that a mooting will
bo called for that day. Mr. Bland, chairman
of the committee, will be here in time to au-
thorize the calling of the meeting for Wednes-
day. Messrs. Epos of Virginia and Mc-
Keighan of Nebraska are also absent from the
committee, but it is expected that thoy will be
here in time to assist the silver men in getting
a favorable vote on the senate bill. Free coin-
ago advocates ^ill not brook any delay that
indicates a disposition to shelve the bill.
Sudden Illness of Mr. Crain.
Washington, July 2.—Representative Crain
of Texas was attacked by a spell of sickness
which resembled cramps and was attended
by writhing muscles in the house of repre-
sentatives this morning. He wus promptly
removed to Providence hospital. Mr. Crain-
is apparently suffering from prostration and
needs re st and quiet to restore him to a nor-
mal condition.
Army Appointment.
Washington, July 2.—The president has de-
cided to appoint Colonel Robert Williams se
nior assistant adjutant general of the army,
vice General J. C. Kelton, retired. Brigadier
General Kelton, retired, will be appointed
governor of the soldiers' home at Washington.
Seeking to Come to a Vote,
Washington, July 2.—Representative Pierce
of Tennessee, one of tho silver advocates in
the house, to-day offered for reference to the
committee on rules a resolution providing that
on the day of July the speaker may en-
tertain motions to suspend the rules, tod that
measures then may bo carried by a majority
vote. Mr. Pierce is confident that the resolu-
tion will be reported favorably.
The Behring Sea Seizure,
Washington, July 2.—No information had
been received in Washington to-day up to the
close of office hours regarding the reported
seizure of British vessels in Alaska waters by
tlio rovonuo steamer Corwin.

This is tlio first general appropriation bill that

FIFTY-SECOND CONGRESS.
House,
Washington, July 2.—The journal having
been read in the hourse this morning, a
message from the senate announcing tho
passage of a free silver bill was received with
applause. A disagreeing conference report
on tho District of Columbia appropriation
bill was presented. A further conference was
ordered and the conferees wore instructed to
urge the amendment providing $75,000 out of
of the district revenues for expenses of at-
tending tho grand army encampment at Wash-
ington.
Mr. Blanehard of Louisiana submittted the
conference report on tho river and harbor
bill. The previous question on tho adoption
of the report was ordered.
After eulogies had been delivered by
Messrs. Paige of Maryland, Herbert Mc-
Kaigh, J. D. Taylor, Tracey and Cummiiiga
to tho late Senator Wilson of Maryland, tlio
house adjourned until Tuesday.
A RICH SEIZURE
And Twenty-Five British Schooners Or-
dered Out of Harbor.
Victoria, B. C., July 2.—The excursion
steamer Queen arrived at Namo from Alaska
yesterday, bringing word that twenty-five
sealing schooners flying the British flag,
together with the British steamer Coquillo,
chartered to act as a tender to the sealing ileet
had all been gathered in by Captain Hooper
of the United States revenue steamer Corwin
for violation of United States revenue laws.
The Coquillo arrived June 6 in charge of
Lieutenant Quinn and Assistant Engineer
Brothorn, and wrb turned over to the United
States collector of customs for violation of the
revenue law. Tho Coquillo was seized by
Captain Hooper at Port Etches, Prince
William sound, June 22, for having a blank
manifest on board, showing neither cargo nor
passengers, and towing vessels out of
ports of Alaska and bringing stores
and receiving sealskins from the British
sealing tloet within tho jurisdiction of tho
United States without entry or permit. Hor
operations were observod by Lioutonant J. B.
Quinn of the Corwin who, disguised in citizen's
clothing, had been out to Port Etches for the
purpose of watching the movements of
schooners and steamers. The Coquillo had
on board nearly ti,0U0 sealskins, valued at
$70,000, besides all stores for tile fleet. Twenty-
five British sclio-mer-i w/>rc boarded on Port,
Etcheo and after Being gi\en reaBonabij tune
for weather and repairs ordered out of harbor.
The aoizuro of the Coquillo leaves the British
sealing fleet in northern waters without sup-
plies. Twenty-livo schooners and a British
steamer wore in Port Etches whon tho Cor-
win came into harbor and gathered them all
in. About eleven sealers in Alaskian waters
have boon boarded by the Corwin or other
United States warships forming the patrol.
'1'he Tariff Illustrated.
Chicago, 111., July 1. — [Special.] — The
single tax club of this city has decided to ask
the world's fair officials for tlia adoption of a
system by which it is believed the
American people can best be given a
practical illustration of the workings of the
tariff. To this end the following letter will
be Bent to Director General Davis: "The Chi-
cago single tax clnb respectfully requests that
on foreign exhibits of dutiable goods at
the world's fair tho selling price in the coun-
try from which the goods are exported, the
transportation charges from which point of
origin to Chicago and selling price in Chicago
be carried separately bo that visitors bo en-
lightened in reforence to the incidence of our
present system of tariff taxation and find out
who pays the duty. We conceive that neither
political party can consistently oppose this
us the framer of the existing tariff
confidently assorts as the faith of nia party
that the foreign exporter pays the tax, and
the opposing party asserts with equal
confidence that tho American consumer
bears the burden. It is respectfully
submitted that the exposition can confer no
more important service to the Amoriean peo-
ple than to aid in the solution of this vexod
and most important question.
Carnegie's Works Guarded.
Pittsburg, Pa., July 2.—Fully 1000 men
are on guard at Homestead, Munhall and
around Carnegie's steel workB. Every possi-
ble approach to tho town and mills is Btrongly
guarded. No one can pass through the dead
lines, which are drawn clear around fifty acres
of mill yards, unless he has business of his own
that takes him that way, and even then if not a
mill worker of some sort or resident of town
he can not pasa. The advisory committee have
fully matured their plans and the whole body
of men move together like clockwork. There
are night and day men for all the different
posts. To-day a complete system for sig-
nalling was arranged and the plans have been
bo well matured that 1000 men can be had on
any spot in five minutes night or day.
Cyclone at Maaon, Neb.
Mason, Nob., July 2,—Last evening this
town was visited by a cyclone. The residences

TWO TELEGRAMS SENT BY JUDGE
W. Q. GRESHAM SAY SO.
There Was a Plan Among the Prohibi-
tionists to Nominate Him---The Peo-
ple's Party to Follow.
New Albany, Ind., July 2.—[Special.]—
Judge Gresham was in Now Albany this morn-
ing on his way to Laintsville, called there by
tho doath of his brother, Colonol Benjamin
Gresham. While in New Albany he received
a telegram from Hon. Jackson Orr in regard
to his acceptance of the nomination for presi-
dent by the people's party, and in reply sent
the following:
Colonel Jackson Orr, Omaha, Neb.: In view of
the friendly manner in which my name appears
still to bo used at Omaha, it is duo you and your
fellow-delegatos to say that I do not desire to be
the standard bearer of the people's party, and
could not accept a nomination if unanimously
tendered. W. Q. (iKeshan .
Mr. Orr is an old school-mate und friend of
Judge Gresham, and is now a delegate to the
convention at Omaha.
Gresham Declines.
Indianapolis, Ind.. July 2.—In view of tha
absorbing interest in the city and state and
throughout the country as to tlio probability
of tho nomination of Judge Gresham for the
presidency at the convention of the people's
party at Omaha and his acceptance of the
honor the News yesterday sent tho judge tho
following dispatch: "Will you say something
for publication in the Indianapolis News?
Will you nccept a nomination from tho Oma-
ha convention if tendered?" In reply the
News this morning received the following die-
patch :
"Orleans, Ind., July 2.—Evening News, In-
dianapolis : I would not accept on any plat-
form. W. Q. Gkesham."
Prohibition Politics.
Chicago, 111.. July 2.—[Special.]—Now that
the prohibition convention is over and General
Bidwoll is the nominee it has transpired that
an effort was made to get Judge Gresham to
agree to accept tho prohibition nomination.
He was visited by an Illinois delegate three or
four days ago and urged to come over to the
prohibition party and become its nominee.
Judge Gresham, howover, declined to consent
to the uso of his name and was not converted
by the prohibition delegate. How much au-
thority the delegate carried with him is en-
tirely conjecture, and it is certain that
with the sentiment shown in Cinoinnati any
attempt to mako Judge Grosliam tho prohibi-
tion nominee would have met with opposition,
though the great regard in which he is held
and the intense desire animating many pro-
hibitionists to bocomea strong political party
would probably have resulted in his becoming
the nominee if he would have joined tho pro-
hibition ranks and announced his willingness
to bo a candidate.
J. G. Evans, an Illinois dolegate, said to-day
that something was said to Judge Grosham
about boconnng the nominee at < )maha. i'lie
ritrided imptessicu received w that JuiIku
Gresham would not consont to run, but he
could not say what might yet happen. There
was, as must now be apparent to every one, a
decided hostility to fusion and the obliteration
of the prohibition party entertained by the
prohibition convention, but a willingness to
receive with open arms all parties or persona
who would aid them was very manifest. Tho
object of the visit to Judge Gresham was to
have him first made the prohibition nominee,
it being expected that his nomination by the
people's party would follow, and thus, it wan
argued, the' prohibition party would be the
dominant one in the combination, and as a
political organization would receive an im-
mense boom if the Gresham ticket secured the
large vote at the pollB generally predicted for
it. A split in the two old parties, it wus
figured, would then be brought about. Tha
Rev. Dr. Evans of Illinois said that the
prohibitionists believed they would gaui
immensely in Illinois on the school
plank. It was the only party in
favor of tho "little red school house" and
would receive thousands of votes from people
opiiosod to tho republican and democratic
plunks in favor of tho existing school law. All
that he feared wnB a tremendous exercise of
the old party lash. There are in Illinois, lie
Baid, 15,000 members of au order established
especially for the maintenance of American
institutions and these votes he cx-
pocted to be cast against the old parties oa
the school question with tho defeat of the re-
publican presidential ticket in Illinois as a
consequence.
The Foster Element.
Nkw Oki.kans, La., July 2.—Through bad
management, in a political sense, the victory
of Foster and the anti-lottery faction is being
frittered away. The defeated McEnery side
engineered quietly and nicely, and when it
uaine to a caucus for circuit judgoa of tha
state appellate courts the McEnery men cap-
tured five out of bix. Colonel John S. Young,
the chairman of tho returning board, who vir-
tually made Foster governor, m defeated by
E. W. Suthorlin, the defeated fiKdidate fot
attornoy general. Col. K. P. Hunter, who
was the aggressive leader of the Foster cam-
paign was beaten by W. F. Blackburn. John
M. Konnedy, who went over from the anti-lot-
tery side to the McEnery faction, was nom-
inated over Beveral strong antl-lottcry leaders.
In New Orleans Colonel E. N. Ogden, a well
known lottery man, defeated Judge Frank
McGloin, who wan such an anti-lottery en-
thusiast, that despito his position ou the bench,
he organized hurrah clubs and led the shouting
columns through the city streets. Judge
James M. Thompson, another McE„ery man,
was nominated over Colonel John M. Stone.
The Foster element only succeeded in saving
one man, H. D. Smith, who is from the gov-
ernor's parish, St. Mary.
