Montgomery, Ala., Dec. 12.—
The most important convention in
many respects that has assembled
in the South for many years com-

result of suggestions emanating
from the governors and commis-
sioners of immigration of nearly
every one of the Southern stales.
At this great gathering there are
present representatives of Virgin-

An Irish Millionaire Claiming a Seat in
Gen. Harrison's Caninet.
Chicago, 111., Dec. 12.—The
local press bureau to-night reports
the following: Col. W. H. Crooks
of Philadelphia was at the Grand
Pacific to-day. He is a close
friend of Mr. Morton, the next
vice-president, and of Horton Ba-
ker, the Irish leader of Philadel-
phia, who aspires to be a member
of Gen. Harrison's cabinet. Col.
Crooks came West in the interest
of Mr. Baker. He was at Indian-
apolis from Friday to Tuesday,
and saw Gen. Harrison several
times.
"Gen. Harrison and I are old
friends," said the colonel, "and
Horton Baker and I are original
Harrison men of Pennsylvania.
Baker contributed 841,000 to the
Republican campaign fund and
spent it in organizing Irish Harri-
son and Morton clube in twenty-
nine assembly districts in New
York and Brooklyn. By means
of those clubs 4500 Irish Demo-
crats were brought into tbe Re-
! publican party. Baker is a splen-
did financier. You know he is
worth about $15,000,000. I told
Gen. Harrison what Baker did for
the party during this campaign,
and that he has been doing so
during all Republican campaigns
of the last twenty years. He con-
tributed $60,000 for the Garfield
campaign and $45,000 for Blaine
and Logan, I am almost certain
Mr. Baker will be the nlxt secre-
tary of the treasury. You need
not laugh at that, but wait and
see. I wish I could tell you
something."
Col. Crooks indicated that Vice-
President-elect Morton is a strong
supporter of Mr. Baker.

viction. There are probably few
senators or representatives who
want an extra session. They look
upon it as likely to be an unfor-
tunate necessity. The complica-
tions that tend that way are in-
creasing. The circumstances sur
rounding this congress and the
whole drift of affairs tend to an
early meeting. An informal can.
vass has been made among the
leading men at both ends of the
capitol, and tho opinion appears
to prevail that Mr. Harrison wil
be obliged to call congress to-
gether.
THE ADMISSION OF NEW STATES.
There is a division of opinion
among the Democrats in the
House on the subject of admit-
ting certain territories to state-
hood during the present session
Mr. Turner of Georgia is opposed
to dividing Dakota, and there are
many others who agree with him
and they go farther and say the
question of territorial admission
should not even be considered at
this session, and that such action
would not be advantageous to the
Democratic party. There are
other Democrats who believe with
Mr. Springer that if any glory is
to be derived from the admission
of these territories the Democrat-
ic party is entitled to share it
He says if they refuse to take the
step now the Republicans will
come forward in the next congress
and do what^the Democrats can do
now.
THE RIVER AND HARBOR BILL
was reported this morning and ap-
propriates nearly $12,000,000.
Among the appropriations of in-
terest to Texas are the following:
Aransas Pass, $65,000; entrance
to Galveston harbor, $300,000;
Sabine Pass and Blue Brick bar,
$150,000. It is almost certain,
however, that the bill will be pig-
eon holed by the commerce
committee, the Republicans
having decided not to allow
any bill for improving the na-
tional waterways to pass this ses-
sion.
A Fight With Outlaws.
Decatur, Tex., Dec. 12.—Some
time ago Deputy United States
Marshal Andy J. Fryer of Caddo,
1. T., wrote Sheriff W. S. Gilbert
of this county that Jim and Will
Burnett were wanted at Fort Smith
and that they were coming in this
direction. Last Thursday Sheriff
Gilbert saw a strange woman with
three email children get off tbe
train here and went out in the
country. From her appearance
the sheriff euspicioned her and
sent a man to watch her and see
where she stopped. She went to
tbe home of Mr. Allen, about
fifteen miles from here. It was
also learned that she was the wile
of Jim Burnett and that Jim and
Will were in that vicinity. • The
sheriff telegraphed the marshal
that he had the men located, but
for some cause he did not get the
telegram for several days. The
marshal came in yesterday and he
and John Williams and Tom
Moore, deputy sheriffs, went to
look for them. The officers learn-
ed that they had left Allen's in an
ox wagon. The officers trailed
them some distance and got in
ahead of them and got Mr. S. H.
Poteet to hire tnem and get them
away from their guns, Mr. Poteet
hired them and put them to work
in his field. Theofficers approach-
ed them in the field and they re-
cognized Mr. Fryer and immedia-
tely the shooting began. Several
shots were fired and Jim Burnett
was wounded in the leg and the
officers ran on them. They were
commanded to surrender, but still
refused to do so. Jim undertook
to get his pistol in shape, when
Deputy Tom Moore knocked him
down with his pistol. Will made
for Moore and Moore knocked him
down also. They at length gave
up and were brought in and lodged
injail last night. They will bo
taken to Fort Smith for horse
stealing and for robbing a man in
the nation several months ago.
Mr. Fryer had a fight with tbem
in the Chickasaw Nation while
trying to arrest them about a
month ago, and in that fight he
shot Jim in the leg, which wound
has not yet healed. Jim has
served one term in the federal
prison, and has often said he
would die rather than be arrested

Texas Massss.
Houston, Tex., Dec. 12.—The
grand lodge of Masons for tbe
state of Texas held the annual
election of officers to-night. The
following were elected: Grand
master, W. S. Fly of Gonzales;
deputy grand master, A. S. Rich-
ardson of Houston; grand senior
warden, George W. Tyler of
Belton; grand juni^r warden, John
Watson, of Clarkslille; grand treas-
urer, Henry Scherffins, of Houston;
grand secretary, William F. Swain
of Brazoria. There was an excit-
ing contest for secretary, T. W
Hudson, the old grand secretar
being defeated after several
lots had been taken.
The State Capital.
Austin, Tex., Dec., 12.—The
whitecaps in McLennan county
have attracted the governor's at-
tention, and he sent letters to the
county attorney and sheriff of the
following purport: Incompliance
with a sense of duty to see that
the laws are faithfully executed, I
respectfully call your attention to
the accompanying extract from tbe
Waco Day: "Texas does not re-
quire tbe services of a lawless
body of this character to right the
wrongs of citizens, and when such
an organization takes into its
bands the punishment of supposed
offences tbe government in a
proper sense ceases to exist." 1
therefore request you to fully in-
vestigate the matter, so that all
who engage in the lawless under-
taking be prosecuted, and should
you need any assistance from the
executive department in further-
ance of yoor efforts you will please
make the same known.
The "Q" Engineers.
Chicago, 111., Dec. 12.—A meet-
ing of theexecutive of the strikers'
committee appointed during the
late Burlington strike took place
here to-day. A full committee
was present with Michael Kavener
in the chair. Nothing of impor-
tance was transacted outside of
discussion of ways and means by
which striking engineers could
obtain reinstatement by the "Q"
road. A committee is expected
to be appointed to visit the Bur-
lington officers. Superintendent
Besler said to-day tbe men would
not be re employed as a body but
as individuals, and only as vacan-
cies occurred.

Galveston, Tex., Dec. 12.—In
the United States circuit court to-
day Mrs. Lola Houck, mulatto,
obtained judgment against the
Southern Pacific Railway oonr.pany
for $5000. She purchased a first-
class ticket at Victoria, and was
refused entrance into a first-class
car. She rode on the platform
through the rain, was taken ill as
a result of the exposure, and
brought suit for $12,000 damages
against tbe company, with tbe
above result.
