TIU3 GOVERNOR'S LETTER.
A warm welcome.
Executive Office, Austin, Tex., March
8. I'resident Interstate Cattlemen's Con-
vention, Fort Worth, Tex.—Dear Sir: Please
express mv regret to those who will be more
fovtuuate in being present at the cattle-
men's convention, that circumstances ho
yotul njy control deprive me of that groat
pleasure To me it would have been some-
thing more than an ordinary gratification.
I served a long and faithful apprenticeship
as a cowboy. and not only feel at home with
them atalltitr.es, but am justly entitled to
the shiboleth that would secure tho grip
and the greeting of a warm hand. I can
assure your distinguished visitors from
abroad that thuy will receive nothing but
courtesy and kindness from our peoplo
wherever they may go, but it would have
been like visiting ligypt without seeing the
pyramids for tliein to have come to Toxas
without seeing Fort Worth. The peoplo of
this energetic city have made it like the
famous Comstoclc lode—just when you ex-
pect it to shallow up it opens out in a
newer and rifiher vein than all'the preced-
ing ones.
Their highest ambition, best purpose,
and most earnest wish being to see our
state stand foremost in free and liberal
institutions, moral fiber, intellectual reach,
and all the glories which crown the most
elevated civilization, they quite naturally
■want to make tho whole country better
acquainted with the growing hopes of ou?
young state, which will soon stand in tho
balls of congress like a young hercules
conquering by obvious strength, leaving her
club unused.
The wise minister of Henry IV
taught his sovereign that pasturage,
tillage, aud commerce were the three great
reveuues of a state, and indeed from tho
days of the patriarchs they have progressed
aud prospered with equal step in con-
junction, and I have often thought that
the plow, the anchor, and the branding
iron would form no mean coat of arms for
any state or empire.
Hut here are the representatives of a sin-
glo great industry, which for years was tho
greatest in wealth and prosperity, and the
foremast of our state's resources, and it is
no more than simple justice to say that
from tho days of the republic to recent
years the cattlemen have been the avant cou-
riers of our civilization aud settlement—not
only standing guard as a living wall arourd
their ranches, but staying tho work of the
scalping king by repelling, pursuing and
punishing roving bands of Indians, and at
the same time pushing out with their herds
far in advance of the village or settlement
of the agriculturist.
trophies of texas cattlemen.
iDepending alone upon their manhood, skill
and courage tliov were mainly intrumental
in wresting from the Indian and buflaloa
vas domain, whose lands, now known to be
fertiie to exuberance, were then supposed
to bo somewhat like self-righteousness,
the more of which a man has the poorer he
is. It is a matter of public record that for
more than twelve years prior to 1874 no
new county had beeu organized in this state.
Ou the contrary, the three counties of Young
Coleman and Stephens had lost their
county organization, and wore completely
depopulated except by a cordon of fearless
cattlemen like the Slaughters, Goodnight,
Brownings, Reynolds, Matthews, Carter,
Harmisons, Hragge, Gholson, Elkins, Lov-
ings, aud a score more equally worthy of
mention along the border line. These men,
aided by a battalion of rangers, who were
exoected to guard a frontier line of nearly
800 miles, stood between tho savage and his
victim. In that year the assessment roll of
the twenty-four border counties of Bandera,
Brown, Burnet, Clay, Comanche, Eastland,
Frio, Gillespie, Hamilton, Jack, Kerr, Kin-
ney, I.ampnsas, l.lauo, Mason, Maverick,
Menard, Montague, Palo Pinto, Parker, San
Saba, Wise aud Young showed in taxable
values only 810,500,000, while to-day on the
same basis of valuation they present a tax-
able property of over $65,000,000, to say
nothing of the forty or fifty prosperous
counties since organized beyond tho then
frontier line, and which are now filled with
well stocked and woll cultivated farms, as
the homes of an industrious, law abiding
people, the pride and glory, ns well as tb»
true strength of a country. These are some
of the indicative trophies of the Texas
cattleman, and the legitimate fruitage
of their dauntless courage and
pioneer sufferings in tho pursuit
of their avocation, and in justice
should entitle their interests and posses-
sions to r.he equitable consideration of the
government and the people generally, and
yet, strange enough, while for years they
have beeu the exemplars of a chivalrous
geuerosity and bravery, which made them
the heroes of tales recouuted tho world
over, in many instances they have beou
dealt with as men who hf.d no claim to pro-
tection.
THE SITUATION REVIEWED.
When the land was unoccupied and wire
fences unknown their business was con-
ducted upon the open range and proved im-
mensely profitable. Spanish fever and
Quarantine were evils of which they nover
dreamed, and Texas was the cowman's
paradise. This state of affairs lasted up to
the year 1S83, when tho price ot cattle sud-
denly rose to an abuormal value. A spirit
of hazardous speculation was engendered,
ruinous schemes were put afloat presenting
tempting but delusive projects, all as ill-
founded ks the Tulip mania or South sea
speculations of 200 years ago,and iu the end,
like the maelstrom, engulfing all that came
within its fatal vortex. It established a
new and dangerous relation between the
owners of large aad small stocks, and fre-
quent collisions were threatened. In a
night hundreds of miles of wire
fences were cut, and the law for
a time was powerless to prevent
the destruction. The state seemed unwill-
ing to either sell or lease them laud. Debt,
like a consuming fever aud wasting con-
sumption, began to cloud the brow and take
the firo out of the eye of the bravest in
their ranks. Their range was overstocked,
aud the supply of cattle greater tbau the
demand of our home market. And when
they attempted to drive in search of an-
other and bettor they were confronted at
the border of their state by restrictive
quarantine and inspect.on laws, imposing
serious trouble auu delay. Or .f to avoid
this trouble they attempted to ship by rail-
way they were subjected to ruinous freight
rates, so tiiat io any event when they finally
passed through all these tribulations and
reached a suariet at Chicago it was only to
fall into he hands of those who
their pvi iits with as much precis-.; n and
certainly as lUey could uuiober their herds.
And thi-:-..- i.» to-day practically i;'» either
cattle market on this continent, 'ihe prica
of cvtrj ,ow in the land is settled by iu da-
crap, and tho delivery of beef to each city of
note in the land, as we!! an price fully
regulated. And sellers not in tho
syndicate or pool arc ailoged to
be boycotted and milled At will. You should
inquire into the causes, and, as f ir its possi-
ble, remove these burdens. Whatever is
done should be permanent and radical. A
patient may be cured of a fever, but if after-
wards he be placed under poisonous or ma-
larial influences he is liable to becomo sick
again with the same disease,and tho relapsa
is even worso than the llrst attack.
"I have tho most animating hopes and
the greatest confidence that your present
inquiries will comprehend in their conse-
quences general relief for all the states, and
operate as a bond of sympathy and union of
interest in providing more accessible and
direct markets across the Atlantic where
millions of hungry mouths await the food
you may scud them by refrigerators and
otherwise, through deep water harbors
along our Texas coast. You can not hope
to reap the full benefit of your great indus-
try until your beef goes from your own
slaughter-houses to the markets of the
world, and tho law of supply and demand
reestablishes a healthy competition, and
you can enjoy the freeman's privilege of
having some voice in determining tho price
of your cattle when ready to sell.
a transition stage.
And even after this has been accom-
plished, in order to place thecattle industry
upon a safer basis, you will in my opinion
be compelled to change your business into
more methodical channels based on scien-
tific principles. It is obvious that the natu-
ral development going on in the country
will force this process. Where there is no
law of heredity or succession to interfere,
large pastures can only mark a transition
stago in tho march of development, They
can not continue to be held in their
entirety and bear the burden of
taxation for the mere glory attach-
ing to largo possessions. 'I he time is close
at hand when the value of these lands will
become too great to be devoted to an im-
provident and unprofitable system of cattle
raising. They are slowly being encroached
upon novr and must inevitably yield to tho
small stock farmer, who will make them
more productive by keeping fewer but bet-
tor and more carefully matured stock.
In this way the development of the agri-
cultural interests are absolutely essential
to our elevation as a beef producing state,
and the sooner the two interests are made
to fully sustain each other the better for
ail concerned. Thanking you for the
courteous manner in which your associa-
tion's invitation was conveyed, and trust-
ing that your meeting will be a grand suc-
cess, lam, respectlully, L. A. Ross.

OTHER PROCEEDINGS.
against oleomargarine laws.
The following resolutions were read:
By Mr. Savage of Nebraska: Asking for
the repeal of the oleomargarine law.
peep water resolution.
By Mr. Connellee of Cisco:
Whereas it is the sense of this convention
that deep water upon the gulf coast of
Toxas is absolutely essential to the prosper-
ity ot the liye stock interests of Texas, and
of the great northwest, this convention
favors the appropriation by congress of
$6,200,000, as recommended by the board of
engineers, for tho improvement of the port
of Galveston; aud
Whereas six years is reported as the time
necessary to spend the amount; and
Whereas it is of the greatest importance
to the entire northwest that deep water be
obtained at the earliest possible time; and
Whereas the board of engineers report
that deep water can be obtained nt Aransas
pass for $1,200,000 and Sabine pass for
$1,400,000; and
Whereas the estimates of the board oC en
gineers to secure deep water at these places
can bo judiciously expended within twelve
or eighteen months, this convei tion favors
an appropriation by congress of the entire
estimate recommended for Aransas pass
and Sabine pass, and should congress not
make liberal appropriations for these
placos, then it is the sense of this conven-
tion that private capital should bo permitted
to secure deep water at these places, as is
now being done successfully nt the mouth
of the Brazos.
Judgo Carroll of Denton offered the fol-
lowing resolution, which took the same
course as the others;
Whereas the growing necessities of the
west demand a first-class harbor on tho
gulf coast of Texns, in order that the sur-
plus products of this vast region shall find
an outlet to the markets of the world by a
shorter route and at a vast annual saving
to the producer; and
Whereas tho average surplus of farm
products amounts annually to millions of
dollars; and
Whereas the congress of the United
States at its last session provided for a
special board of engineers, whose duty it
was to report to tho piesent congress the
most eligible point cr points upon the
coast of Texns for deep water ports, to bo
amply deep, with a view to the capacity of
the largest ocoan-going vessels aiid the
commercial aud naval interests of the
country, and
Wherons said board of engineers has re-
ported in favor of Galveston and has recom-
mended the appropriation of $6,200,000 to

Resolved by the interstate convention of
cattlemen, at Fort Worth assembled, that
it is the duty of congress to appropriate the
sum of $6,200,000 for the improvement of
the port of Galveston; be it further
Resolved, that a copy of these resolutions
be forwarded to each of the senators and
representatives of our respective states and
territories with the urgent request that
they earnestly labor to have the appropria-
tion made ns recommended, and that a copy

The secretary no.v proco^led to read a
lengthy communication from Colonel Ful-
ton of Rockport, on splenetic fever, and
his correspondence with tho department of
animal industry In relation thereto, but ho
had only gone over a few pages wheu he
was cut short by a motion from Mr. Mercer,
of Wyoming, to suspend further reading.
Mr. Kogers of Texas thought the letter
was long enough and big enough every way
to justify its special reference to a com-
mittee. Ha offered a motion accordingly.
Mr. Rector of Texas offered a substitute

and territorv on pleuro-pneumonia, splene-
tic fever aud the inspection laws.

These subjects he insisted were so impor-
tant as to constitute a distinct branch of
study of the cattle industry by the depart-
ment. He alluded to the placiuir of dead
lines and the passage of inspection laws by
several states of the union. He wanted tha
voica of the convention upon these subjects.
Judge Rector's substitute, after an unin-
teresting discussion, was adopted and the
committee was appointed.

Colonel T. T. D. Andrews of Fort Worth

tract with an English company for the

for three years, and that the company
was willing to extend their contract
for a longer period, but it was thought
best to bo prudent at the outset. He made
a strong appeal in the interest of refriger-

NORTH DAKOTA.
The Lottery Hill Ilecelves ltd Final Quietus
In tho Legislature.
St. Paul, Minn., March 12.—Tho Louis-
iana lottery legislation proposed in the
North Dakota legislature at Bismarck re-
ceived its quietus to-day in both houses. As
anticipated somo days ago, a second attempt
to adopt tfio measure was tried to-day. Yes-
terday was sot as a day for the action, but the
sudden death of Superintendent of Public
Instruction Mitchell and tho consequent
adjournment of both houses postponed ac-
tion until to-day, and this was the last day
tho measure could he taken up and carried,
final adjournment being too near.
To-day's attempt was first made in the
senate. The proposed new bill, which of-
fered the state $50,000 for the franchise and
an annual tribute of $150,000, was intro-
duced. Its opponents moved to lay.it on the
table, and that motion was defeated by a
vote of 11 yeas to 19 nays. However, as a
test vote it showed the fatoof the bill, for it
developed the fact that in the senate, where
the moasure was considered strongest, two-
thirds necessary to pass over the go rernor's
veto was not forthcoming. This finally
settled the fate of the bill, but it also went
through tho mill, or part ot the way, In the

to some 300 letters of inquiry sent out the
New Mexico Stock Grower and Farmer has
gathered data showing the general condi-
tion of the cattle in tho territory and the
number of steers to go to market this

THE APPROACHING TRIAL OF BUR-
CHELL IN CANADA.
The Condition of Mrs. Hurcholl, Who Is
Charged With lining an Accessory-
Great Sympathy for Her—A Fatal
Kullroad Wreck l"tc,
Ottawa, Ont., March 13.—Mr. Hellmuth,
of Lnwrenco, Hellmuth & Co., who are con-
ducting tho defense of Burchell, in tho cele-
brated Benwell murder case, Is in the city.
He was averse to speaking to a reporter in
reference to the lino of defense likely to bo
adopted, hia presence here being confined
merely to preventing if possible the incar-
ceration of Mrs. Burchell in Woodstock
jail to-morrow. He couslders that there is
little ovideuco to support tho finding of the
coroners' jury as to the woman having beeu
accessory to her alleged husband's crime.
As to the evidence taken before the jury,
said Mr. Hellmuth, it must be borne in
mind that merely such testimony was sub-
mitted ns vould tend to strengthen the
case presented by the detectives against
Burchell.
In course of further conversation with tho
at torney it was learned that at theapproach-
ing trial tho method of Identification by
witnesses for tho crown v.-ill be strongly
objected to. It Is said that instead of being
required to identify Burchell among a
number of persons tb, witnesses were con-
fronted with him alone in his cell.
Mrs. Burchell is a very sick woman and
is falling fast. She has a physician's cer-
tificate saying that she is not auie to under-
go confinement in jail. The sympathy of
tho peoplo Is entirely with her. It is de-
nied to-day that it is the intention not to
press the charge against her. While the
evidence against her Is not strong she will
be held for trial. An appeal to the attomoy-
genoral will be made to havo hor admitted
to bail. There is a strong feeling in favor
of allowing the unfortunate woman to go
with tho punishment she has already suf-
fered in consequenoe of her imprisonment.

burchell held for trial.
Niagara Falls, Ont., March 12.—Ex-
citement ran high this morning as the hour
approached for resuming tho taking of evi-
dence in the Burchell murdor case. The
court room was packed with people as early
as 0 o'clock and the streets were crowded
with people from the surrounding country
and from the American side of tho river.
About t wo dozen newspaper correspondents
were in attendance, representing the prin-
cipal cities of America.
Whon tho prisoner looked over the multi-
tude of faces staring at him over the rail he
co7ored his face. He was at once taken by
the jailor to a cell which he occupied last
weok and handed over to the charge of
Ollicer McMicken. A great rush was
made to the court-room, which could not
hold tho crowd, and Police Magistrate Hill,
fearing that some one would get hurt in the
jam, announced that the court would bo
hold in the town hall. Within five minutes
at least 200 persons were in the hall crowd-
ing at the doors. When the prisoner was
unhandcuffed he stretched out his arms
above his head and appeared to be relieved,
and conversed in a happy mood with tho
officers.
At 5.40 p. m. court opened iu tho town
hall.
Mrs. Burchell's case was taken up. She
was brought through the crowd to the stage
where the magistrate presided, surrounded
by reporters. She entered the hall leauing
on the arm of Chief of Police Young, who
conducted her to the presence of the magis-
trate. Sho was dressed in the same suit
that she woro last week, and was hoavily
veiled. As soon as she was seated the
magistrate announced that ho would now
commence with her case. He explained
that as she was charged with being
an accessory to tho murder of Benwell
at Niagara Falls, the case was in his juris-
diction and could not be removed to the
other court. It would have to be tried here,
and if there was any more evidence for the
defense he would hear it. The magistrate
then asked detective Murray If he had any
more evidence to offer against her. The de-
tective replied: Not at present.
The magistrate then notified the prisoner
that ho would remand her to the same cus-
tody that she had been in since her arrest
for eight days pending any new evidence
that mav be produced against her.
Lawyer Ives, partuer of Hellmuth of Lon-
don, who was present, watched the case for
both prisoners.
Mrs. Burchell was removed from the
court-room to Mrs. Baldwin's boarding
house. Chief Young then brought Prisoner
Bnrchell Into court. Tho prisoner's appear-
ance almost caused a panic in the hall. Ho
looked cheerful and walked smartly up.
His defiant manner was a study and wonder
to all who saw him. He looked around at
the reporters and officials, nodded to some,
looking straight out of his pierc-
ing black eyes without a parti-
cle of timidity. Ho took off his
kid gloves, crossed his legs, pushed back his
chair and waited for proceedings to begin.
About half a dozon witnesses were sum-
moned. Most of the evidence was a resume
of that taken at the coroner's inquest. At
the close of the testimony Magistrate Bill
asked Burchell if ho had anything to say.
lie whisoered to his lawyer a moment, and
then said in a matter of fact way, "No, I
have nothing to say." The next moment
ho added, with some emphasis, "At this
particular time."
-His coolness was astonishing. Magis-
trate Iliil thou held Burchell for trial in
October at Woodstock. He slipped his kid
gloves on his dainty hands, his body-guard
slipped the handcuffs over them and led
him out through the crowd, the most un-
concerned appearing man in all that throng,

class, Pullman an? dining,went completely
over the twenty five feet of embankment,
and now lie with their wheels in the air.
Mrs. M. M. Monroe, mother of John W.
Monroe, a contractor, received fatal in-
juries. Mr. Mackev, a lumberman, was cut
about the head, and all the passengers were
badly shaken up and many had ribs and
other bones wrenched and broken. The
dining car occupants were thrown out
violently. The cook was fatally hurt and
the waiters are badly bruised. The engine
remained on the rails, but all the rest of the
traiu is wrecked. There were about thirty
passengers on the train. Tho accident was
caused by the rails snraading.
Among the passengers on tha train was a
convict in charge of a bailiff. Ho was
chained to a seat, and when the car turned
over he hung to tho side. He managed af-
ter considerable effort to free himself, and
then went to tho assistance of his keener
and helped him from tha wreck. A gentle-
man who saw the accident says the train
went over like a huge wave and snapped
telegraph poles like pipe steins. Doctors
have arrived at tho sccno of the wreck from
Cobden and Pembroke.

comments 11v tiie trf.S3.
Manchester, March 13.—Tho Guardian
does not think that tho reported opposition
to English goods in Portugal and Brazil
will havo any important effect on tho trailo
with those countries. Trade will always
flow in channels, anil any attempted boy-
cotting would only lead to activity In
smuggling with the result that purchasers
would pay rathor more for the same goods
than they havo been paying. The discussion
about all owing accounts of Lewisham
Union near London has given rise to soma
comments iu the papers, and curiously
illustrates onasideof English life.
Somo 0000 gallons of ale and porter, a tit-
tle wine unci over 1100 bottles of spirits
largely branded, were charged as consumed
by the inmates. Despite tho efforts of tho
journals and some of the citizens of Lewis-
ham. it has been impossible to make i! ap-
pear how much of this spiritual nnd fer-
mented comfort was absorbed by' the pau-
pers aud how much by the board of guard-
ians, whose meetings were suspiciously
frequent.
The Telegraph points out that congratu-
lations concerning the reported agreement
bet-veen Sir Julian Pauucefote and tho
United States regarding the Beliriug sea
difficulties are altogether premature. Tho
Canadians, it says, will nover agree to any
practioal monopoly of these waters by tho
United States, and it predicts that blood-
shed will be tho result If the latter power
endeavors to enforce its claim.
england's protest to russia.
London, March 13.—Tho meeting on Sun-
day last to protest against the barbarities
inflicted upon Bussian political piisoners
was one of those peculiar ones that could
take place nowhere except in England. It
can have no effect but to increase the hostil-
ity already felt in Russia against the coun-
try which professes to "speak iu the name of
outraged humanity" concerning the abuses
referred to, But England has once empha-
sized her claim an leader of said humanity,
and having proclaimed her position to tho
world at larire on tho day sot apart for such
demonstration returned to her manufactur-
ing and shopkeeping on Monday with re-
newed vigor and satisfied conscience.
a tarnished ministry.
Dublin, March 13.—Tho Freeman's Jour-
nal says the debate on Mr. Smith's motion
asking the house of commons to adopt the
report of the Parnell commission, and
amendments to the motion, marks the stage
of disruption and too downfall of tho min-
istry, whose character for fair play, honor
and honesty Is tarnished.

west of Marysvllle, while fixing the fire in

SCHOTT'S HAMBURG SYRUP
That it is reproduced in their own space.
To procure permanent benefits from
newspaper advertising, however, it is essen-
tial that facts alone shall bo stated, that the
confidence of tho public may thus be se-
cured.
It is this policy that has created so great
a demand for Schott's Hamburg Syrup,
which is an effective cure for throat and
lung diseases, sore throat, coughs, colds,
croup, asthma,whooping cough, bronchitis,
and consumption.
It is the best lung and throat restorer in
use. BUT WILL NOT CURE all the ills
that flesh is heir to.
