Spring Valley, N. Y., Feb. 24.—A
foam-flecked pair' of horses that tore
through the streets early yesterday,
dragging between them a splintered
wagon pole, brought to the village the
first news of a grade crossing acci-

A>'_
Texas Frontier Rangers from 1855 to
1860 Recognized.
Washington, Feb. 22. — Mr. Burle-
son’s bill to pension the surviving of-
ficers and enlisted men employed in
the defense of the Texas border be-
tween 1855 and 1860, including against
Mexican marauders and Indian depre-
dations, has been reported favorably
by the House Committee on Pensions.
The enactment of this measure
would be the culmination of more
than three years’ work by Mr. Burle-
son.
It began with these introduction of
a bill to reimburse Texas for the mon-
ey spent in performing this service,
which wTas properly the duty of the
Federal Government. That bill passed
during the first session of the Fifty-
Ninth ctigress in the face of deter-
mined opposition, and the money has
been paidSe--the State of Texas.
The recognition of that claim on
the partxof the Federal Government
gave pensionable status to the men
who were enlisted In the defensive
service, and the bill reported yes-
terday Is Intended to enable them to
have their names put on the rolls. Mr.
Burleson Is confident that he will get
it through the House.

The General Asked That the Opinion
of the Court, Right or Wrong, Be «
Carried Out.
St. Petersburg, Feb. 21—Lieutenant
General Stoessel was condemned to
death yesterday evening by a military
court for the surrender of Port Arthur
to the Japanese.
General Fock, who commanded the
Fourth East Sibenan Division of Port
Arthur, was ordered reprimanded for
a disciplinary offense, which was not
connected with the surrender, and
General Smirnoff, acting commander
of the fortress, and Major General
Reiss, chief of staff to General Stoes-
sel, were acquitted of the charges
against them for lack of proof. The
Court recommended that the death sen-
tence upqir'Lieutenant General Stoes-
sel be commuted to ten years’ impris-
onment a fortress, and that he be
excluded f^om the service.
General Vodar, President of the
court, read the sentences amid a
tense silence.
By a great effort of self-control Gen-
eral Stoessel maintained a rigid, sol-
dierlike impassivity. General Smir-
noff was also seemingly unmoved, but
there were tears in the eyes of Gen-
eral Reiss. .
The sentence of death was. passed
upon Generad Stoessel “for surrender-
ing the fortress before all the. means
"of. defense had been exhausted, for
falling to enforce his authority and for
military misdemeanors.”
Commutation of the Sentence was
asked on the ground that “Port Ar
thur, beset by overwhelming forces,
defended Itself under General Stoes-
sel’s leadership with unexampled
stubbornness and filled the world with
astonishment at the heroic courage of
its garrison; that several assaults had
been repulsed with tremendous losses
on the part of the enemy; that Gen-
eral Stoessel throughont the Beige had
maintained the heroic courage of the
defenders, and, finally, that he had tak-
en part in throe campaigns.” x
HARVIE JORDAN PRESIDENT.
Cold Weather and Delayed Trains Con-
spire Adversity.
Dallas, Feb. 20.—The opening piece
of the Southern Cotton Convention yes-
terday was the address by Hon W. B.
Thompson, President of the New Or-
leans Cotton Exchange. Mr. Thomp-
son’s subject fas “The Functions of
the Legitimate Cotton Exchange.” He
gave his definition of a legitimate ex-
change and declared that the New Or-
leans Exchange is the only*one in the
world which is the friend of the pro-
ducer.
These remarks precipitated a debate
which was very lively, to say the least
of it. Members were given an oppor-
tunity in five-minute talks to express
their views of Mr. Thompson’s exposi-
tion of the cotton exchange.1 The
speakers made it very evident that
many of those present were decidedly
opposed to dealing in futures where
the actual cotton changes hands, and
that a large number were opposed to
any kind of an exchange, legitimate
or illegitimate.
On account of delayed trains east of
the Mississippi River, there were
scarcely one hundred delegates present
when the convention opened. The del-
egates were met at the Oriental Hotel
by the reception committee from the
Commercial Club. The baud played
“Dixie,” “Kentucky Jubilee,” “Georgia
Camp Meeting,” and other Southern
selections all the way from the hotel
to the Fair Grounds. The stoves which,
the Commercial Club had placed in the
big hall being insufficient to neutral-
ize the .fierce norther which raged
across the Fair Grounds, the delegates
sat through the opening exercises with
their overcoats on. At the conclusion
President Harvie Jordan announced
that the cdnvention stood adjourned
to reassemble in the ^uditorium of the
Commercial Club at 2 p. m.
There were probably 250 delegates
at the afternoon session, which was a
very animated one. Two of the speak-
ers on the program had not arrived.
They were Hon. John D. Walker of
Sparta, Ga., and Hon. S. N. D. North
of the United States Census Bureau.
Mr. North announced some time since
that he would not be present. . *
At its session last night W. R. Dod*
son of Louisiana addressed the con-
vention on the “Rotation of Crops and
Maintenance of Fertility,” illustrating
his subject with lantern slides. Dele-
gates who were on the delayed trains
arrived early in the night, and there
were about 350 present last night.

Mr. Mosby stated that tbe over
whelming majority of criminals were
young men, and that over 90 per cent
of the young men found in the various
State reformatories were found tc
have been wholly without previous oe
cupatlon of any kind. He showed that
the greater number of criminals gen-
erally were industrial incompetents,
and took the position that incompe-
tency in the arts and processes oi
trade is quite as dangerous to society
as illiteracy, the maximum of dishon-
esty.usually being found with the min-
imum of earning power.
He said that the greatest menace
that confronted American Industrial
supremacy in the world’s marts was
not faulty schemes of currency, freight
rebates, monopolies or tariffs, but the
rate of growing inefficiency on the part
of American labojf; that he believed in
the training Of all to work, in the wise
and useful application of all human

tion, and that "labor is the highest law
