Dallas May 3. The leading
white republicans of Dallas have be-
coino revolutionary since the outcome
of the fourth state convention. They
have taken preliminary steps to or-
ganize a white man's republican party
from the club rosters from the meet-
ings and management of which the
negroes aro to Le excluded. A club
organization was started to-day and
officers are to be elected soon. The
motto as announced by the starters
Is the "nigger must go." The mem-
bership of the new organization is
mostly business men and the genial
better element ot the white republi-
cans. They say if the negro can be
unloaded from the republican party
and allowed to vote where ho pleases
the party will be strengthened within
two years by an addition of at least
100000 white votes from among tne
most intelligent wealthy and influen-
tial element of the state and th.it

friends can be secured almost bodily.

Confined within its walls and their
shreiks and excited demands to be
saved were such as to horrify those in
the surrounding neighborhood. A
second and third alarm were at once
turned in and almost simultaneously
the gallant fire brigades were on the
scene of the terrible conflagration.
A strong breeze from the prairie be-
ing blowing at the time all endeav-
ors to stay the progress of the flames
seemed almost futile. Nevertheless
the firemen assisted by many citizens
worked with a will and directed their
attention to the saving of the theatre
and the adjoining buildings. Seeing
that it was impossible to prevent the
destruction of the Globe and thecrirs
of the prisoners at the police station
being redoubled the firemen turned
their attention to the saving of life
and assisted by Sergeant O'Donnell
and Justice Scully turned the hose on
the burning police station. The patrol
wagons being on hand from the West
Twelfth street station and a large con-
tingent of police being present 1 rum all
parts of the city little difficulty was ex-
perienced in removing the prisoners
who were sent under guard to the
Harrison street prison. The 'nagnifi-
cent brass and machine fovudry of
Louis Welff & Co. soon fell before the
all-consuming flames followed by the
total destrution of the Globe theatre
Police station McAndrews brass
foundry and Dunn's drug store.
Wolff's building was a fine structure
recently completed and was six stories
high. The theatre was four stories
high and bad several tine stores ad
joining all of which were destroyed.

tained at this hour cannot fall short
of $3o0000 and may possibly reach
8400000.

WASHINGTON TALK.
Washington Arnl 30. The ap
proach of the time for congressional
nominations excites some gossip here
as to who the candidates are going to
be. Republicans here opposed to Rep
resentative Ochiltree hint at a straight
republican nomination in the Galves-
ton district. Mr. Ochiltree will not
eay yes or no as whether he will stand
for re-election. He is a sly Major
JJagstock. If he is not going to rim
this fall he at least has the credit for
already making h.s plans to do so
There is perhaps no Texas district
about which there is so much specula-
tion as the seventh. There stems to
be a strong interest growing in fayor
of a democrat and yet no one so far
wants to have Col. Finlay come. There
is no enthusiasm for him.
The name more frtquently men-
tion than any other at thi3 end of the
line is Walter Gresham. The Texas
delegation with one accord seem to
take to Gresham and wish him to be
one of their number if there is going
to be a change in the district. Even
the republican iLihirnce is opposed to
Mr. Ochiltree and none other than
Nathan Patton would like to see
Gresham represent the seventh.
Gresham has been asked to be a can-
didate but so far persistently refuses.
He says his work for the development
of the Santa Fe railroad is not yet
completed and until then he cannot
turn his mind to politics. He is a
thorough business man and if the
district should send him here there
are lew persons who believe he
would not satisfy the several com-
mercial seaports of the shoestring con-
stituency. Washington. May a. in the sen
ate to-day the shipping bill was taken
up. Vest made a formal offer of his
amendment permitting admission to
American registry of ships bought
abroad and the admission free of duty
ot ship building materials.
Mci'herson onerea an amendment
to it excluding ships bought abroad
from coastwise trade.
Vest continued his remarks in sup
port of his amendment. What we
need he said wa3 an absolute
freedom from all burdens in order to
induce Americans to buy ships upon
any terms. - For years we have besn
ioiu next year we snouju ate an im-
provement and that free ships would
be built in American ship yards
which the policy heretofore pursued
had not done. For proof of this he
showed that the American ship build-
ing was decreasing and we were
building very tew iron snips.
Washington. l. c.. May z. in tne
house to-day the consideration of the
tariff bill was resumed. Miller
(Penn.) arguel in favor of the protec-
tive system.
Vox. (JN. X .) Drieiiy replied to some
propositions advanced by Kelley and
argued in lavor of throwing on the
markets of the world American in-
dustries and incidentally put in a
word tor tree ships and iree materials.
He wanted something more cheering
than Kelley 's dismal science; some
thing more christian; something more
humane; something not so utterly and
terribly selfish. He believed in com-
merce and progress not in excession
in stagnation in starvation. He al-
luded to the progress in favor of a
tariff reform which was
going on in Masachusetts
and Minnesota ana in conclusion ex
pressed of the county and denied they
were protected against the labor of
foreign countries by the present higti
tariff. He contended that their con-
dition would be improved by a low
tariff in that by a purchasing power
their wages would be largely en
hanced lie described the pitiable
condition of the miners of the coal
pits of Pennsylvania and quoted from
a report of the senate committee on
education and labor to confirm bis
statement. That report showed that
a protective tariff protected manufac
turers only and leit the lauorers
to fight and starve; and was
an indictment which the people
had drawn against protection only
5 63-100 per cent. It was the impera-
tive duty of this congress to make a
reduction in taxation. A reduction of
revenue to the extent of at least 850-
000000 was demanded by every con
sideration or. puDiic weiiare. it was
little less than a crime to impose war
taxes in time of peace. The pending
bill did no more than had been recom-
mended bv the tariff commission and
certainly a democratic congress would
not hesitate to enact sucn a measure
as this and bring some reliet to the
people. He expressed his sympathy
with the masses or tne worningmen
his surprise that the gentleman from
Illinois (Finnerty) should vote against
the free ship amendment to the ship-
ping bill and thus give England and
other ioreign countries 9ijuwuuu m
fares and freightage which should go
to our country.
Springer gave a history ot the cir
cumstances which surrounded the
creation of the tariff commission and
quoted from a report of that concus-
sion that the best conservative inter-
ests of the country demanded a reduc-
sion of the tariff duties to the extent
of twenty per cent. In response to
this demand the tariff bill of 1883 had
been passed but instead of making a
reduction of twenty per cent the high-
est estimate showed the reduction was
made.
The democratic party was going be
fore the country this tall ana worK
lngmen would speak then with no
uncertain voice in condemnation oi
that system.

The woiiderrul success of the
American make of "Linoleum "
floorcloth is fully deceived. It is a
beautiful covering unexceled for ele-
gance in designs and colorings. Es-
pecially suitable for all classes of
dwellings dining rooms halls
churches and hospitals. Inferior for-
eign imitations by various names are
on the market but the superiority of
the American make is beyond contro-
versy. The genuine cloth has the
Walton Trade Mark and word "Lino-
leum" on the back of every square
yard. All carpet dealers keep it.
