INTKR STATE COMMERCE
Special to the Gazette
Washington Jju 12 The fate of the
interstate commerce bill still hangs in
the balance and no one can predict the
time of its final passage A new cause for
alarm has arisen and its supporters are
greatly concerned about it The able
lawyer from New York Mr Evarts has
served notice that he will strike the
measure full in the face with
one of his long arguments
which are conspicuous always for their
legal technicalities and If the senator
succeeds in tacking one of his amend-
ments to tbe bill it will sink of its own
weight and there will be no need of a-
long or a shorthaul clause if Evarts opin-
ion prevails He exDects to speak to-
morrow All the grounds of bis opposition
to the bill are not known but it is
said that one of his objections is that the
measure violates the provisions of the
treaty of Washington made between the
United States and Great Britain in 1871
It is supposed that the Dortion of the bill
which Mr Evartu is to criticise on this
score is that requiring every railroad
company receiving freight in the United
States to be carried through a for-
eign country to any place
in the United States to post
up for public inspection at every station
where such freight is received schedules
showing the through rates charged
tor such freight This section provides
that if these rates have not been made
public such freight shall be subject to
custom duties before it is admitted into
the United States the same as if it were
of foreign production ThK provision it
is understood Mr Evarts holds to be
contrary to the thirtieth article of the
treaty of Washington which provides
that goods mav be curried from one place
in the United States territory without tne
piyment of custom dutiesif they are car-
ried by land and in bond Under this
treaty it is declared by others as well
as Mr Evarts that concress cannot
impose a duty of freight as proposed in
the interstate commerce bill even ns a
penalty for violating ot er provisions of
the measure It is likelv the presenta-
tion of this argument by Mr Evarts will
prolong the discussion on the Mill in the
senateforthereare a areatminy senators
who delight hi 1ing drawn contests over-
nice legal points Mr Cullom who has
charge of the bill Is sure that the mtasur
will be put upon the passage before this
session ends but neither henorany other
senator seems to have any definite idea of
when a final vote will be reached

Jack Crowthe negro desperado brought
in from the Choctaw country a few days
since for the murder of Cnarles Wilson

cerning the murder of Wilson whose
tragic death has heretofore been shrouded
in mystery Wilson was a prominent
man and stood high with his people the
Choctaws About two years ago he
was killed at night while riding along the
road not far from his home his body
being pierced by many bullets iridicatlng
that more than one man hadbi en con-
Cerned in his assassination Crow was
charged with the crime but was never
captured until recently It was in testi-
mony today by a party who claimed to
nave been present that Wilson was fol-
lowed and killed by Jack
Crow Robert Benton NIckson Perry

auu Crow second Benton Is a prominent
Choctaw and at the time of the murder

and a candidate for representative in the
council of the Nation Wilson opposing
him All of the alleged murderers ex-
cept Crow were Choctaws and Wilson

7 We have water tracsportston on re
frigerator barges to the depest ivaters of
the gulf right from our dsors which i
other plase in the state offers
Whilst the abcormal condition of the
cattle trads may in part be attributed to
the general decay end shrinkage of thc
comiaerce of the world wemust yet look
beyond the surface for the trn2 cause of
the dearth of the cattle commerce of our
state
Texas stockjalsers can no logger loos
to the cities of ths greit West as a
profitablemarket for their beef
The Western slates and territories arg
now formidable competitors with Texas
in producing cheap cattle The vest prai-
ries of Kansas Noraska Dakota Mon-
tana Wyoming Idaho Colorado Arizona
and New Mexico are magnificent pas
tures and are now being fast Ullediwith
tcattle It to from thence that Kansas
City St Louis Chicago and other mar-
kets obtain their princip1 supply This
growth of competition lias in the most
of these states and territories stimulated
the enactment of laws prejudicial to the
Texas cattle trade which together with
the powerful combinations of Western
dealers and packers have brought about
a state of affairs which so greatly de-
creased the value of Texas cattle
This state of things however it may
be deplored by the people of Texas is
liable to increase rather than diminish
It is in great measure the natural result
of natural causes Plainly the cattle
raisers and dealers of the West have com-
bined for the purpose of securing to
themselves the exclusive control of what
they consider their own markets It
now behooves the people of Texas to de-
velop home markets by whicL our own
Industries can be stimnlated and the
profits of our productions saved to our
own people
FORT WORTHS CLAIMS
Fort Worth also had brave champions
in discussing the location for this great
enterprise There was much discussion
on the hubject Resolution after resolu-
tion was introduced objected to and
tabled Each point in the contest was
closely watched by the representatives ot
the several cities T T D Andrews
made a stirring speech for Fort Worth
which elicited a storm of ap-
plause and merriment Several mem
oers gave their experience In
the refrigerating business D C Bent-
ley of the El Paso InterRepublics spoke
concerning the precautions necessary to
be taken in order to provide against rail-
road poolings and Chicago syndicates
At this juncture the editor of the Texas
Stockman gave notice that San Antonio
would enter the race for location of the
refrigerating establishment as a dark
horse Much wrangling ensued upon
the motion to appoint a committee to
investigate the claims oj the several con-
testing points and decider upon the most
su table city It was discovered that by
packing this committee any place might
secure the b nanza and the members
were hardly willing to leave so important
a matter to Col John W Simpson who
is a Dallas man
Col C C Slaughter very wisely sug-
gested that the amount of sloes neces-
sary be subscribed and then let the stock-
holders themselves determine where the
establisnment shall be located Here
followed a little parliamentary firing
which got the convention into quite a
tangle
Judge Rector offered a substitute for a
resolution offered by Mr Daugherty
Mr Seeligson offered a substitute for
the substitute
Judge Rrctor moved the laying of the
last substitute upon the table but when
he discovered that such a move would
carry his substitute and all the question
with it he hastily withdrew his motion to
table
Judge Rectors substitute was finally
adopted The substitute isos follows
Resolved that a committee of nine be
appointed by the chair to ascertain the
probable coat of establishing a refriger-
ating establishment to take subscnytions
or djnations from the different places
seeking to hive such refrigerator estab
lisbed among them conditioned upon
such subscription
Resolved that this committee shall
draw up a plan for the organization of
such refrigerating establishment
Resolved that this committee after
geting up such subscriptions and dona-
tions and determining on the plan of or-
ganizing such refrigerating establishment-
s all report their work and plns
to the executive committee of this
body and if the said executive
committee approve the selection
of tne place and the plans of organiza-
tion tney shall then select such place
and approve such plans and open books
and ask subcriptions for stock
Resolved if for any reason they wish
to do so the executive committee may
after such report by this committee call
ihis convention together to consider any
other matters involved is this resolu-
tion
The convention adjourned tiil 10
oclock tomorrow Thi special order for
tomorrow is the WanerMitfet bill
KKIOKT ON PUBLIC LANDS
Gentlemen of the convention
1 Tflo lawn regarding the lease and
the sale of school aud other public lands
of the state should be founded upon a
just and equitable basis so that the les-
sees should not be disturbed in their pos-
sessions and the actual settler protected
in his rights To this end we most
earnestlv recommend a settled state poli-
cy in regtrd to the sale und lease of
public lands upon a btsls of
classification as to rental and sales in ac-
cordance with the value of the land and
the water and grass upon same
2 A fair aud equitaole price should
be placed upon the lands and they sold
on long time and p3yaole in from one to
ten years witn interest at the rate of 4
per cent per annum At this low rate of
interest your committee are of the opin-
ion that most of tbe public lauds can be
disposed ofand the state largely tne gainer
by being the recipient of taxes upon the
same
3 Yonr committee would recommend
the passage of such laws as would give
tbe same protection to the lands of the
state in so far as their rental is con-
cerned as those of an individual
4 We beg to call your earnest atten-
tion to the fact that about twentyflve
millions acres of our public domain are
to the state a barren waste
