The Approprlattoa Hill.
Austin, Tel., April 2.—Mr. Gresham and
his finance committee are standing together
on the fioor of the house, sustaining so far
every Item of the general appropriation bill,
but when they get down to the university
and asylums and the items providing for
new buildings there will toe trouble. The
bill can hardly be reduced over $250,000, and
will in anv event exceed the like bill of last
session half a million dollars.

manent school fund in real estate securi-
ties.

three section purchases.

constitutional amendment providing for
the election of railroad co.umissioneis by
the people was paHsed to engrossment.

road superintendents and defining tho du*
ties of county commissioners in respoct to

ary article of the constitution on fiual
passage was amended by Mr. Clemens to
amend Mr. Burney's amendment adopted

Mr. Lubbock called up a bill amending
the law authorizing cities and towns to

hibiting driving or riding faster than a

Mr. Burney called up the bill to validate

federate land scrip wherein the locations of

ous.
Mr. Frank opposed the bill, thought the
\ decision of the supreme court holding the
locations should have Deen contiguous is
regarded by lawyers gonerally as unfor-
tunate.
Mr. Burnov said there wero people hold-
ing these titles to 500,000 acres residing
upon the lands, whose titles were swept
away by the supreme court. The land office
had "ruled the locations might be separated,
and on that ruling people had bought aud
improved the lands.
Mr. Stephens spoko in favor of the legis-
lature confirming the acts of the land com-
missioner as a state agent. Under his act
citizens bad expended their means and
acquired equitable rights, and the state
would do gross injustice In repudiating the

for school purposes was adopted. Ad-
journed till 8.30 p. m.

which the legislature passed validating acts
when the railroads are interested, and in-
stanced the act curing Houston and Texas
Central titles to 2,000,000 acres last session.
Mr. Garwood objected to validating acts
In general.
Mr. Stephens presented the Injustice and
meanness of repudiation of the equitable
rishts of the holders of the patents.
Several amendments were adopted with
the general purpose tosmotberout any bug
which may he found under the chip, and the
bill passed to engrossment, the rules were

Proceedings In the Bonne.
Austin, Tex., April 2.—The house met at
0 o'clock. Pending business was senate
bill relative to fees of county treasurers for
receiving and disbursing school funds. It
amends the present law fixing definitely
hat the treasurer shall receive X of 1 per
cent for collecting and % of 1 per cent for
disbursing such school funds, and that he
shall receive no commission whatever upon
balances turned over to him,by a predecess-
or. The bill was paesed under suspension
of the rules.
Mr. Brletz got consideration of house
bill No. 482 amending tne law so as to au-
thorize building ot branch lines of railroads
by charter amendments.
Action was suspended to consider the
special order, the general appropriation
bill, which was considered in committee of
the wnole with Mr. Melson in the chair. In
tbe executive appropriations Mr. Doggett
amended to make the amount for rewards
and contingent expenses necessary to tbe
reinforcement of the laws $10,000 each year
instead of $15,000. The amendment was
defeated.
Mr. Lindsay's amendment to increase the
amount for tbe improvement of the gov*
ernor's mansion was also defeated
Mr. Graham's amendment to appropriate
$2500 annually a9 tbe salary of the newly
created state revenue agent was adopted.
The state department appropriations
were adopted without amendments.
The treasury department appropriations
were taken up end Mr. Oliver amended to
make the salary of the night watchman of
the treasury $600 Instead of $900. Amend-
ment lost.
Tbe item of $40,000 each year for frontier
protection and suppression of lawlessness
and crime caused some discussion, in which
Mr. Baker of Tom Green spoke earnestly in
favor of the appropriation, as did also
Messrs. Graves of Karnes, Browning of
Donley, King of Bell, King of Burleson and
Lindsay of Smith.
An amendment by Mr. Baker of Tom
Green to make the appropriation $50,000
wu lost, and tbe section was adopted.
Mr. Vestal submitted an amendment to
alter the provisions tor the expenditure of
\
Mr. McKinney contended that the report
should be adopted. One hundred thousand
dollars would be a mere circumstance to*
ward blulllog book publishers into compe-
tition.
Mr. Rogers argued that tho constitution
would have to be changed to authorize the
appropriation for state publication.
Mr. Daggett contended that the stato
should not oe put to the expense of pub-
lishing the law reports. I^et the lawyers
buy the books from publishers. Uniform-
ity in text bcoks was not so much a ques-
tion of cost of tbe book as of the expense of
changing them. The experience and loss to
the state on the small scale adopted at the
little Institution here across the river
showed to what extent the state might be
swainped by general publication. Tho
publishing work at the deaf and dumb in-
stitute for the state indicated a loss of
some $15,000 to the state.
Mr. Melson contended that $100,000 would
not supply tbe building and machinery
necessary for state publication.
Mr. liogan of Caldwell, as a practical
printer, agreed with Mr. Melson. The re-
port was adopted—ayes 57, nays 31—and
then the house refused to reconsider.
The report of the conference committee
on the county roads bill was rejected and a
free conference commlttoe was requested.
The senate bill to establish additional
normal schools, one of which shall be in
north Texas, one at Salado, in Bell county,
and another in southwest Texas, south of a
line drawn east and west from Austin and
west of the Colorado river, was considered.
Mr. Gough moved to adopt the minority
adverse report.
Messrs. Clayton and Brown opposod the
bill.
Mr. Perry favored It and Mr. Davis op-
posed it.
Mr. King of Bell said Texas was perhaps
the only state which did not have more
than one normal school.
Mr. Martin of Somervell arguod that more
normals were needed.
Mr. Owsley agreed wltb Mr. Brown that
the Sam Houston Normal school was suili-
clent.
Tbe bill was Indefinitely postponed and
the house adjourned.
Bealy County Oratory.
AUSTIN, Tex., April 2.— Sealy county was
before the senate oommittee to-night and
the committee's patience was tested and
proved to be inexhaustible. There wero
speeches long drawn out on either side.
The history of the republic of Texas and
the personal record of the talkers wore
heard with serenity, if not interest. It was
foregone conclusion that Sealy county
was dead, but it is a pity that it has been
talked to death. Whatever the senate com-
mittee's or the senate's action, the house
will not this session pass the bill creating
tbe county. The oratory to-night was lis-
tened to by several house members, and tho
bill will never come up If they can help it.
Not that It is uot a good measure, but the
oratory would kill it even if its name were
Hogg or McGInty.
An amendment to cut off the territory of
Fort Bend county included in original pro-
position of Sealy county was adopted and
committee by one majority decided upon
an adverse report.
He School rami Investment,
Austin, Tex., Aprils.—There is now no
hopes of passing any bill to provide for tbe
investment of idle permanent school fund,
while the indications point strongly to its
increase.
The governor's proposition to invost as n
final resort in first mortgage bonds of new
railways have been abandoued. The op*
position will be held responsible for the
large accumulation of cash withdrawn from
and kept out of circulation, They would
not listen to that proposition, nor to loan
to cities, nor to school districts for build-
ing school houses, and th«y condemn Mr.
Jester's measure, which would solve the
investment question as well as relieve the
tax payer. At present there seems no way
of avoiding an iucrease of the school tax,
while large sums, which should obviate the
tax, are to be held out of othor use than as
a big ornamental item in the cash balanco.
Caaht In tbe Troasury.
Ai'STIS, To*.. April 2. —Senator Pags and
the joint committeo finished up to-day the
count of the cash in the state treasury,
wiilah foots up as follows, cents omitted:
Silver In sacks, *683,500.
Gold in sacks. *323.000.
Subsidiary coin, etc., $2355,
Counter cash. f27,fiti0.
Currency, fl,3U4,&!U.
Total. 12.430,03\
Tha cash fails to balance wltb the books,
thsre being a shortage of just 1 cent.
Over tl,000,000 of the caih is general rev-
enue and the balance belongs to special
fundi.
Paymsnt of last month's expenses of the
entire state government has been suspend-
ed, there being no appropriation act in
force, ao that tha cash has accumulated.
Austin's Charter In Dancer.
AUSTIS, Tax., April 2.—The Austin city
charter is In a bad way. It was before the
subcommittee of the senate to-day, and tho
local senator wanted more time to read and
dlgeBt it. Unless tbe local senator approves
the senate will hardly pass the charter.
The significance of the delay is that if the
bill is uot pasiod to-morrow it will hardly
pass this session. It is not expected that
either house will have a quorum on Satur-
day or Monday. Knough members are on
the Rockport excursion list to breaa the
quorum of both houses. Next week will
be the last week of the session, and in tbe
last week no private bills or special char- i
ters ever pass.
CHOCTAW COUNCIL.
Bp.elal H.iiIod to Dlapo,. of the Proceeds
of tli. Lea,..
Paris, Tax., April 11—Tha Choctawcoun*
cil met in extra session yesterday on tha
call of Chief Jones.
Simeon Dwlght, tha speaker of tha lower
house elected at tbe regular session, having
resigned for the purpose of accepting the
position of superintendent of schools, G.
W. Gardner was elected to that position.
He is a half-bread and a farmer. After no-
tifying the chief that the two bouses w ere
ready for business they adjourned over un-
til to-day.
Chief Jones'message will be brief. It Is
thought that ha will advise that the sale of
tbe leaaed district be ratified, make sugges-
tions In reference to needed changes in the
school law and advocate the erection of a
high school building in tae three districts.
He will also recommend that the money re-
ceived from the sale of the leased
district be divided per csplta among
the people. This will meet the
almost unanimous approval ot tho conncll,
although an effort will be made to bare a
part of it appropriated to pay those who
failed to get their portion of the net pro-
ceeds, money out of which, It is alleged,
some were shamefully swindled. Tho
leased district belonged 1"> the Choctaws
and Chickasaws, tho latter tribe owning
a fourth Interest in It. They sold it for
¥2,991,000. Of this the Choctaws will
get about 12.200,000 gross, and the Cbicka*
saws $747,000 gross. It is estimated that
there are 10,009 Choctaws by blood and 6000
Chickasaws. This will give the former
tribe something like 1200 net per capita
and the latter #100. This will maka times
flush in that country for awhile. The man
with a numerous progeny is now rejoicing
that ho has been blessed with ao many
children.
How long they will remain prosperous can
only be conjoaturad. Among these people
the thrifty and improvident aro found just
tho samo as among other races. In view of
the prospective era of prosperity in that
country wido awake business men
from live cities on tho border are
there cultivating friendly relations with
the members of tho council. They want
their friendship and they want the trade of
their people. It is a prlzu well worth win-
ning, It is believed that the council will
ratify the salo of the lease, but will not
make any disposition of tue money now
but will wait until the money has been paid
over.
News was received at Tnshkahomma yes-
terday from Tlshlmlngo that the Chickasaw
council bad ratified tho sale of the loaso
and passed an act dividing ths money per
capita; that council had finished tho bust'
ness that it bad been called together to
transact but had not finally adjourned, as
tbe treasurer bad not arrived to pay off
the members.

there was none he said if he could not get

about 18 years of itge, au unusually bright
young man of good address and universally
popular.

erset Pennsylvania.
Somerset, Pa., April 2. -David and Jos-
eph Nlcoly, brothers, were hanged at 1.43
o'clock this afternoon. They both died

December, was tried in the district court.
The jury brought in a verdiotof murder in

penitentiary.
Caucusing Over the Gerald Committee.
Austin, Tex., April 2.—There is a good
of caucussing on the appointment of the
committee to investigate the Smith district
court. Why there should be pulling and
hauling does not appear. Any five square
members will do the business. The pre-
siding officers if left alone will select tbe
proper members. Governor Pondleton will
not announce bis appointments until
Speaker Mllner has announced his selec-
tion,. It Is presumed tbe senate's presi-
dent would tako his cue from Milner's se-
lections, with tbe object of giving both
■ides representation.

New Orleans, La., April 8.—The move-
ment of tbe American cotton crop during
March, as shown by Secretary Hester's
monthly New Orleans cotton exchange
statement issued to-day Is the heaviest for

reaches 443,210 bales, exceeding March, 1890,

Pittsburo, Pa., April 8.—A desperate
battle is reported betwe,n strikers and
armed guards at Morewood this morning
at 3 o'clock. Three or four hundred strik-
ers approached tho works of tbe H. C.
Frick Coke company aud began to batter
down the gates. Wben ordered to desist
they fired on tbe depuvy sheriffs, wounding
several. Tbe latter replied with their guns
and killed seven rioters instantly, while
many were wounded. The guards fired two
volleys before the rioters retreated. Pre-
vious to the disturbance the rioters had out
the telegraph and telphone wires,
all foreigners.
A private dispatch just recoived from
Greensburg says eleven men were killed
and twenty-seven wounded in the More,
wood riot this morning. The doad miners
are all foreigners. Ths governor has just
ordered the Tenth regiment to aid the
sheriff of Westmoreland county in quell-
ing trouble in the coke region. Tbe
Eighteenth regiment of this city has been
ordered to bold itself In readiness.
AN AHMED mob.
Pitts ll cro, Pa., April 2.—A dispatch
from Scottsdale, Pa., says: The dead men
were carried into tbe company store at
Morewood. Tbe strikers demanded the
bodies of the victims, but were refused, and
the place Is now surrounded by an armed
mob of 2000 men who say they will burn
everything on the premises unless tbe dead
bodies are given up. Feeling here la very
bitter among the workmen, who denounce
the action of the deputies in no uncertain'
terms.
AKOTHSn ATTACK ATTEMPTED.
A Greensburg special says: At 9 o'clock
another attack was attempted and three
more were killed. Twenty-five of the riot-
ers were wounded in this last scuffle. The
story has not yet been confirmed from More-
wood, although H. C. Frlck's information
Is that eleven rloteia were killed.
The deputlea who took part in the riot
were all full-grown, experienced men and
they are armed to the teeth. More de«
deliberate arrangements for contemplated
trouble was never tdaile. East night Super-
intendent Plckard summoned his deputies
and told tbom that a raid was contemplated
on the works. He formed them into line
and examined the fiie arms of each one. He
then presented each with a Winchester
rifle, drilled them in tbe use of tbe weapon
and ordered them on duty. Each man was
supplied with twenty-six cartridges and,
under command of the superintendent,
were marched lo a convenient point. There
were three parties of strikers.
WHAT FftICK SAYS.
H. S. Frick, owner of tbe Morewood
plant, was seen at his office in Pittsburg
this morning, and in an Interview saldi
"We plaoed our nisn and property in tbe
bands of the law authorities for protection,
Tbe sheriff in Morewood kaa done his duty;
the governor Is doing his. This is no quar-
rel about wages, but only whether our men
working are to be shot down at midnight
and our property destroyed by rioters. The
authorities must settle this, and we will
know whether mobs or law Is to rule."
ON TBI SCENE.
At noon a train left Groensburg filled
with deputies, all armed aud prepared for a
long siege. Peter Wise, master workman
of tbe district; James MoBrlde, secretary,
and W. P. Penna, vice president of the
United Mine Workers ot America, came
here this morning and visited the scene of
the shooting and held a conference with
several men. It is said thsy are securing
the names of deputlas and that warrants
for the arrest of all of them, Including Cap-
tain Loar, who was in command, will bo
sworn out The latter claims that he or-
dered the mob to halt three times and that
he was answered with three shots. After
anothor command to halt tbe guards were
ordered to firo, and a deadly volley was
poured into the crowd. The fire was re-
turned hotly, but tbe aim was poor. From
the hills the friends of the mob down on the
road could do nothing.
Thsy could not shoot, not knowing the
positions of tbe combatants, and were com-
pelled therefore to await word of the result
of the fusilado. They could not have reached
the ground in time to reinforce them to any
purpose, for a circuit of the works and
buildings on either side of the road was
necessary. It was in this way that they
were enforced witnesses of the terrible
sceneB In the valley below. The firing did
not continue more than three minutes.
When the strikers saw the execution of the
deputies' bullets, when tbey knew that
many of their own number had been visited
with terrible punishment, they retreated
with haste. It was not five minutes after
the firing tnat the deputies held the field.
The wounded were carried away, but tbe
dead were left and from Damp road seven
men were carried back to the barracks at
the store.
THEY were BRAVE.
That) ths dead men were not afraid is
evidenced by the fact that not one was shot
in the back. Wben the bullets struck them
they wero all facing the deputies, who say
they had turned to fight, and fight tbey did.
Volley after volley was fired at them, but
sot a guard was wounded. It tbe mob had
the courage of lions tbey were poor marks-

Fifteen are wounded, but their names

wounded, some unto death, but tbe exact
number and names ars not obtainable, as
their companions carried them to their
homes. It will be noticed that all the men
killed bore foreign names and It is a fact
that not one of them was a naturalized oiti
zon of this country. It is also supposed
many wounded were also foreign and
this explains the deep resentment ex
pressed in every foreign face In the regions

Late to-night word was received here
that two more men concerned in the riot
