COMMERCIAL MATTERS.
Run on a LunHing; TSank.
Detroit, Mich,, April 19.—A special dis-
patch from Lansiiis, Mich., says: Tho Ingham
County savings ; bank experienced a lively run
to-day. It bogan when tho doors wore opened
this morning and has been kept up without
interruption ever since, with a large crowd of
dopositorB fairly besieging the bank. The
run was caused by a feeling prevalent about
town that the bank was not any too strong,
and that it was affected by difficulties of the
Lansing lumber company and tho Lansing
engine works.
The officors availed themselves of a provis-
ion allowing thom ninoty days' notico beforo
permitting the withdrawal of savings deposits,
and no money is being paid out of savings de-
posits, while commercial depositors are call-
ing for and rocoiving vory little.
Stato Bank Examiner Sherwood, in a speech
before the assembled depositors, assurod thom
that the bank was sound and not a dollar
would bo lost.
0. M. Barnes, who has taken charge of the
lumber and ongine companies, which ore in-
debted to him and which yesterday gave him
mortgages amounting to $71)1,(XX), announces
that he can easily take care of the paper ho
indorsed, and other creditors of the two con-
cerns will lost' nothing. Ho has a fortune esti-
mated at $2,000,000 to $3,000,000, and thore is
not a doubt expressed that he can pay dollar
for dollar should things so shape themselves.
Late this afternoon it was believed the crisis
had passed, and no further bad effects would
be felt from tho failures. All the excitement
liad quieted down.

THE HOUSE.
The Geological Bureau Knocked Out—Dis-
cussion Over Appropriations.
Austin, Tex., April 19.—In tho house tho
appropriation bill was pushed aside and house
bills taken up.
House bill to establish tho boundaries of
cities and towns was called up by Mr. Hodges
and passed.
House bill providing manner of filling va-
cancy in county offices pending suspension of
officors passed.
Tho appropriation bill was resumed, tho
pending question being an amendment to
strike out tho appropriation of $70,000 for tho
geological department.
Gossett offered aa a substitute: For con-
tinuing the geological survey, provided that
the work be confined to survey of stato lands
with oertain exceptions, and to the collection
of mineral specimona, the geologist to have
$2000 per annum and to have a cierk at $1200;
total for two years, $6400. Mr. Gossett said
ho was not iniiuenced in his opposition tt> a
general survey by tho itemized accounts pro-
duced by Mr. Truitt yesterday. Docb not
consider it an unpardonable offense for a statj
officer engagod in official work to ride in a
sleeper at state expense. His objection to tho
$70,000 appropriation is based on tho domo-
cratic doctrino that it i3 not the legitimate
function of tho state government to do for
the citizen what tho citizen can do for him-
self.
Mr. Turner opposed tho amendments be-
cause the survey i» necessary, is a democratic
measure in all democratic states, and is pro-
ducing much good in TexaB. He gave in-
stance. of prosperous enterprises in his sec-
tion owing their origin directly to tho state
geological survey. To stop now is better than
to adopt Gossett's substitute.
Mr. Dills spoke for the survey, and charac-
terized Gossett's substitute as a penurious,
pin-hook policy. Tho survey should bo fully
supported, for less than that was money
thrown away. Ho had been greatly disap-
pointed at tho report of Mr. Truitt. That dis-
tinguished ntatosman, it had boen understood,
was nosing around for a mare', nest. He was
not in his Beat in the house for weeks, and we
heard he was going to explode a sensation.
When he came to read his vaunted exposure
it was a bugbear. Mr. Dills proceeded to rid-
icule tho researches of Mr. Truitt, and certain-
ly belittled that style of doodlebug statesman-
ship in great Bhape. Ho procoeded to defend
and survey on broad grounds.
M r. Barron opposed any geology business,
save instances of great expense to tha statu
from following state goologists' advice iu
boring artoriian wells,
Mr. Ileal 1 dofended tho utility of the survey
and not the state geologist. Iflhatofficor is
unfit remove him. l'roccodod to give I ho ag-
gregate amount each year expanded by tho
geological corps for railway fare and other
expenses, showing cloai ly it wa, as a wliolo
anything but extravagant. To show that tho
expose of Truitt, if it would require tho aboli-
tion of tho geological department would
abolish other department., read accounts of
traveling expenses of the railroad couiinisi-iou
and employes.
Account uftor account was read of tho ex-
pomes for railroad fare, sleeping car charges,
transfers, dinners, suppers, breakfasts, an
interminable procession of eating, sleeping
and drinking, and Mr. Boall presented tho
list a. containing a counterpart of everything
iu the Itemized exposure mail" by Truitt ex-
cept $1 for a llshing pole, as the result of ilvo
minutes'inspection of tho accounts Jin tho
comptroller's office. Iio showed items of
grub from a 10-cout suppor to a 95-cent dinner,
board at first cla«s hotels, and other expenses
of tho commissioners in working up evidence
for tho state iu tho railroad commission oases.
Tho speech was almost thu b-.-t of the session
und was applauded.
Flack illustrated valuable enterprises and
development of iron industry and lignite di-
rectly attributed to the work of tho geologists.
Henderson of Milam, took a broad liberal
view of the subject, defended tho geological
buroau as a wise measure.
Brooks moved previous question.
Gannett cloned debate on his amendment
which failed on tie vote.
Amendment by Gough to strike out the en-
tire appropriation for geology.
Truitt closod dobate on this amendment.
His expose was intended to .how the necessity
of guarding appropriations. Ho said he was
after oxtravagance in all departments and was
applauded. Reforms are needed in every de-
partment in expense, except ono or two. If
wo don't reform oursolvos it will bo done by
our enemies.
Rogers of Anderson, asked Truitt if he was
not lodging at state's expense and if pay of
members of legislature includes lodging?
Truitt replied that by invitation ho sleeps in
the speaker's room where he furnishes his own
bed.
Mr. Rogers asked him to road a clause in
the code which prohibits use of rooms for
sleeping purposes in tho capitoi except by the
judges of high courts.
Mr. Truitt roBponded he was tho guost of
the Bpoaker.
Mr. Gough asked him to oxplain tho rumor
that ho was making the investigation to boost
himself as candidate for comptroller.
Mr. Truitt denied the report and emphati-
cally deolarod ho would accept no stato office.
He then made a very strong plea for reforms.
The whole tendoney is to create useless gov-
ernment appendages, going directly into the
road toward radical extravagance and central-
ism, losing sight of democratic land marks.
Mr. Gough's ainendmont knocking out tho
geology bureau was adopttd by tho following
vote:

TEMPORARY I,am) COMMISSIONER.
A Rumor That Colonel Richards of Parker
County Has Been Selected.
Austin, Tex., April 19.—It would seem that
the governor has at last arrived at a con-
clusion rolativo to who shall bo land commis-
sioner pending the McGaughoy impeachment
trial. There is a rumor current to-night, and
it has been traced to what is doomed a relia-
ble source, that tho governor to-day tendered
tho appointment of temporary land commis-
sioner to ,T. M. Richards of Weatherford. It
will be rememboreil that Parker county voted
almost solidly for tho exocutive at tho last
election. Colonel Richards is a lawyer about
50 years old, a prominent man in his section,
and was secretary of the stato cotton conven-
tion recently hold in this city. Ho was also a
candidato for the democratic nomination for
representative against Mr. Hood, tho present
member of tho legislature.
The ruuior also goos that the administra-
tion is koepitig the appointment of Colonel
Richards quiet until he can be heard from and
states whether or not he will accept tho place.
Judge BramleUe, chief clerk, is still holding
down the land office. He i. not signing any
documents officially, however, as there is a
question as to whether or not his signature to
Buch papers would bo legal. The law pro-
vides that tho chief clerk shall act in the ab-
sence or death of thocommissioner, but makes
no provision for a caso of suspension.
There is still another rumor that Judge
Baker of Tom Green couuty, and member of
the Twenty-second legislature, has boon ton-
dored tho appointment of temporary land com-
inissioncr, but thu latter rumor is not credited.
THE McOAl fiHKV CAM I".
The ComtnlNHlonei''. l.iiivyers E%p«ct to
Have 'J'lioir Answer Ready Thursday.
Austin, Tex,, April 19.—Connsol for Mc-
Gaughoy expect to file their answer to tho
houso charges with tho senatorial court
next Thursday and a hearing on
law points may bo expected shortly after-
ward, possibly by Friday, if tho house com-
mittee should bo ready. Counsel for
tho commissioner think tho trial on tho
facts need not bo delayed beyond next Mon-
day and finish up in a week. The indications
are that tho houso committoo will want a de-
lay and this may bo in lino with tho
desire of tho senate, which is to take a recess
before going into tho trial. Everything is
soreno in tho laud office. Chief Clerk Dramlett
had charge to-day and there was considerable
speculation among tho clerks and outsiders as
to who the temporary commissioner will bo.
Governor Hogg has not givou out a hint as to
who ho will appoint, but it is un-
derstood that no will make the
appointment to-morrow. It is rumored
that he wanted to appoint Judge Fillmore and
that this gentleman gave it out that ho would
not havo the place under any circumstances.
If this is true the chances of Mr. I)odd of
Cuss are considered to bo first class.
He was a strong Hogg niau and is known to
bo a candidate lor land commissioner next
tirno.

TUE "FARMERS'" HUREAU.
Two-Thirds of tho Appropriation lor It
Cut Ofl' Short.
Austin, Tex., April 19.—The house took up
tho agricultural department to-day, tho big
tax eating aggregation of bureau* with a bill
of faro calling for a total appropriation of
$115,040, and when thoy loft it the allowance
was cut down to .f30.020, and yet tho farmers
havo a majority in the house.
The only useful bureau in it is effectually
crippled. When tho work was nearly com-
pleted and the economists wore tired Heuder-
Hon of Lamar, a fanner, said ho had waited to
hear tho voice of a single fanner raised for
their department. "The reason wan well
known," he said. "There is not a farmer from
one end of the stato to tho other who has a
bit of respect for tho department. They re-
gard it oh a sinecure, Homcthing to be laughed
at. You may go all over Texas and not find a
single farmer to say a word for it. It is re-
garded merely as a placo for somo people
who are not farmers to crawl into mid draw
salaries and enjoy soft placos. The fanners
are willing to transfer tho insurance bureau to
tho comptroller and abolish tho rest of it."
LEGISL ATI V K M1SCELLANV.
Lobbying State Official*.
Austin, Tex., April 19.—-During tho con-
sideration of tho general appropriation bill in
the senate this afternoon Mr. Dean called at-
tention to lobbying state officials by the fol-
lowing amendmont:
"Amend by adding for compensation ex-
officio for stato officials who have rendered
invaluable assistance to this body on the tloor
of the sonato pending consideration of several
important bills, and without whoso aid doubt-
less the senato may not havo beon adoquato to
intelligently discharge their duties to the satis-
faction of said officials, the sum of $1000."
Of course tho amendment was ruled out of
order by the chnir, but as a rebuke it will
stand. Several state olliciais have been most
industrious moinbors of tho lobby, and it is
the caso with every legislature. It is con-
sidered by somo senators as a vicious practice
and many sonators havo expressed themselves
in the tone indicated by Senator Dean's
amendment.
Colonel Hollingsworth's Return.
Austin, Tex., April 19.—Colonel Hollings-
worth, commissioner of agriculturo, insur-
ance, geology, history, statistics, etc., arrived
in time to-day to soo the geology nestling
plucked of its fine plumage by tho house. The
colonel has beon cultivating the political field
in Washington tho last two months soeking to
secure an interest in tho distribution of the
federal crop. Ho barely arrived homo in time
to protect the bureau. The vote in the house
to-day is not final as the bureau belongs to the

ference.

With Admiral Gherardi.
Fortress Monroe, Va., April 18.—A strange
thing happened to-day. Admiral Gherardi
visitod seventeon ships and not a gun was
fired. Ordidarily such a round of visits would
havo been tho occasion for filling the atmos-
phore with sulphurous smoko, but when ho
loft his own ships tho admiral ordered no sa-
lute tired, and of tho foreigners made tho re-
quest that the same noisy honor be omitted.
This afternoon ho went to pay a visit to the
American ships, but was carried around with
a silence that was moro impressive than sa-
lutos because of its very novelty. Even with
eleven men-of-war to arrive the naval rendez-
vous Las already assumed proportions which
entitle it to rank as ono of tho greatest aggre-
gations of floating batteries which tiie world
over witnessed. Admiral Gherardi paused a
moment as ho stood upon the deck of tho
Philadelphia this aftornoon, whoa a corre-
spondent asked him how many million dol-
lars would bo represented upon the water
when all the ships wero assombled. "Ten,
fifteen, twenty, twenty-five," said he, making
a mental calculation, "l'os, fully $25,000,000;
and do you know how many men will be on
board the ships?"
"No."
"Well, there will be 9000. There are 3000
upon my own ships."
In a thousand and one ways tho friendship
of tho American and English has boon shown
since tho arrival of tho Blake and her sister
ships. A notable instance happened to-day
on the flagship Philadelphia. A correspond-
ent happened to montion to Admiral Gher-
ardi tho fact that Admiral Hopkins had ex-
pressed a desire to see the Texas and Ral-
eigh, now building at Portsmouth navy yard,
"Ah," said the admiral, "I am glad to hear
It. Orderly," ha added, speaking to a nies-
Bonger, "go at onoo to that flagship yonder,
give Commander Potter my compliments
and tell him I would liko to see him as soon
as possible. Tho English admiral wants to
seo tho yards and I Want to have overv cour-
tesy shown him for making the visit."

COTTON FUTURE CONTRACTS.
The New Orleans Exchange Adopts the
Bale Excluding Dusty, Etc.
New Owr.eanfl, La., April 19.—Tho Now Or-
loans cotton exchange by a ballot to-day of
145 to U adopted a recommendation that the
board of directors chango tho form of cotton
futuro contracts as follows: It is distinctly
understood and agreed that no cotton shall be
tenderod nor receivod undor this contract of
less markot value than good ordinary white,
so that tho receiver shall havo a right to re-
fuse all sandy, dusty, red and gin-cut cotton,
sandy and dusty cotton being defined as cot-
ton lessened in value more than one-eighth of
a cent per pound by reason of sand or dust.
At a meeting lieid this evening tho board
adopted tho recommendation of the exchange
to tako effect on and after April 21, 1893, on
ail transactions for delivory in Jauuary, 1894,
and theroaftor.
HUBBARD, PRICJE & GO.'S 0IR0ULAE
New Y'ork April 19.—Hubbard, Price «fc Co.
say: An excellent demand for cotton iu Liv-
erpool to-day from Manchester spinners
caused an advance of l-l(>d on spot cotton
and 5-Cld on futures. Our cablos toll us that
spinnors have boen frco buyers, taking cotton
for forward dolivories to an amount estimated
at from #000 to 10,000 bales in excess of tho
official sales. Tho closing in Liverpool was
about 2-0-ld above last evening's prices as tho
result of tho receipt thero of toiegrams from
this market roporting rains in Texas.
Our market opened steady at 8 points ad-
vance, gained a further!! points and then
broke easy as soon as these declines wore re-
ported from Liverpool. Tho market here,
however, has shown considerable strength and
at 1 o'clock the early loss had been recovered
and tho market was firm at from 5 to 8 points
above last evening's pricos. During tho after-
noon tho action of tho government to-morrow
in regard to finances and the jump in the price
of oxchango together with reportod rains in
Texrs brought some heavy selling orders into
the market, leaving oil at tho close barely
steady at about last night's prices.
THE POSTS REVIEW.
New Ytork, April 19.—The Post sayS: No
action has boen taken by tho treasury order-
ing the refusal of gold iu exchango for treas-
ury notes. Tho belief that such a policy has
boen adopted was quite unanimous to-day in
Wail street, but it w as based on rumor alone.
It could, moreover, hardly be said that
Wall street as a whole had any clear
notion or opinion iu tho matter. Perhaps
tho bulk of opinion—not, it might bo sug-
gested, tho weight—was disposed to welcome
the rumored move as a clover checkmate to
tho gold exporters, but the gold shippers ex-
pressed no discomfiture and according to all
appearanco tlio shipments will continue. Of
tho serious hazards of tho reported action
and ospecially in view of tho government's
equal discretion regarding the legal tender
notes littlo or nothing is said.
Professional comments wero almost wholly
superficial and worthless, but the market
after the first bear raid stood quite still, no-
body wishing to tako speculative chances un-
til something more should become known.
NEW Y0KK DE2 GOODS MARKED
New York, April 19.—Tho dry goods mar-
ket was very quiet. As regards transactions on

thero is somothing doing in prints and ging-
hams in tho same way. Agonts aro willing to
mako somo concessions on certain brown and
bleached goods, chielly on lower grades, but
thero is nothing as yot to warrant expectations
of a general revision of prices.
