mission bill, and I am free to confess that
I am willing to abide by their decision,
you will find that the engineers will decide
in favor of a double row of boulder rock
filled in by rip rap similar to the plant
adopted by the United States government
in constructing the jetties.
Anticipating that such will be the case,
will any sane person dare to question but
what every rock placed upon the gulf shore
will form a part of the raising of the grade
of Galveston? The sand or other material
used for filling north of the bulkhead
formed by the rock boulders will complete
the grade and thus render our beautiful
island home safe and secure from the
dangers of high tide or storms on the gulf
for all time to come, and make Galveston
one of the most desirable as well as one of
the most prosperous commercial cities of
the great southwest.
The question raised in this case is only
one of the many serious problems that will
confront the commissioners. Stiy you can
rest assured that each and every obstacle
can and will be overcome, until all our fond
hopes regarding sea wall and protection
are fully realized.

Incidents of the Funeral of the Late
Dowager Empress.
New York, N. Y., Aug. 13.—The
Herald’s Homburg correspondent,
writing of the scones and incidents
connected with the funeral of the
dowager empress, says:
At the church sentries walk around,
their heavy measured tread echoing
on the flagged pavement. Within, of-
ficers guard the coffin with drawn
swords. The blood red standard, with
its embroidered crowns and golden
eagles in the center, which floated
over the castle this day week, now
covers the coffin. In the station
stands the train, which strikes the eye
at once. It is a very old carriage with
a rail around the top. heavily covered
with a thick coating of new purple
paint, and it has garish purple cur-
tains at the windows. It is an ancient,
first-class carriage with double doors
in the center, arranged especially
receive the coffin, which will be car-
ried down by non-commissioned offi-
cers of dragoons.

RHODES’ CONTRIBUTION.
New York, N. Y., Aug. 13.—The Tribune’s
London representative says that a letter
in The Spectator respecting Cecil Rhodes’
conditional subscription to the Liberal par-
ty, which Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman
and Sir William Harcourt have vehemently-
branded as untruthful, was written with-
out doubt, by C. W. Boyd, son of Rev.
A. K. H. Boyd, and confidential associate
of the South African statesman. It mav
be safely inferred that Mr. Rhodes iii-
SPired the letter.

St. Louis, Mo.. Aug. 13.—Meager in-
formation has been received at the of-
fice of the general superintendent of
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas in re-
gard to the holding up of passenger
train No. 4 near C-.iney, I. T., today.
At 1 a. m. five men boarded the train,
which is a local, at Caney, while the
engine was taking water. Caney con-
sists of little else than a telegraph sta-
tion and water tank. The men forced
an entrance into the baggage and ex-
press car with dynamite, but it is not
known how much booty they obtained.
It is said by officials the American
express safe contained a small amount
of money. After looting the baggage
car the robbers turned their attention
to the passenger coaches, robbing the
occupants. No statement as to the
amount obtained from them is to be
had. When the robbers left the train
it proceeded south.
"The United States marshal was noti-
fied and immediately raised a posse
and went in pursuit. It is believed
by officials of the road the robbers
mistook the local for the “Katy Flyer,”
which follows a little later. This train
usually carries a big safe in the ex-
press car and a large number of
through passengers.

New York, N. Y., Aug. 13.—A fight which
resulted in the stabbing of two men oc-
curred in front of the Gilsey house early
today. The police can give very little in-
formation about the row or what led up to
it and no arrests were made. From, what
could be learned at thc hotel three men,
said to be Boston politicians and whose
names the police give as Joseph A. Conry,
Patrick Bohn and Joseph J. Norton, start-
ed a fight. The wall paper manufacturers’
convention is being held at the Gilsey
house and a number of delegates were
standing jn the front doorway when three
men crossed the street to enter the hotel.
Conry, it is aserted, had some words with
one of the paper men and in a moment a
lively fight was in progress. Wm. M. Fran-
cis, also said to be a wall paper manu-
facturer, was attracted to the scene from
a neighboring restaurant and went to the
assistance of. his friend, Conry receiving
a stab wound in his back. Francis was
wounded in the thigh. The wounds of the
injured men were dressed and they said
they would make no complaint even if the
police succeeded in finding the men who
did the stabbing.
It is said one of the Boston men is a
congresman., another an aiderman and the
third a state senator.

'Stringent Measures Observed at Empress’
Funeral.
New York, N. Y., Aug. 13.—Comment-
ing upon the reports received from Ger-
many in connection with the funeral of
the dowager empress, one statement be-
ing that even the inhabitants of Victoria
street, Potsdam, will not be allowed to
stand in their own front gardens during
the passage of the funeral procession, the
London correspondent of the Tribune says:
Great popular discontent is said to prevail
on account of these stringent regulations,
which are probably due to fears of an-
archist disturbances. The anarchists are
believed to have tampered with the train
conveying the German crown prince from
Homburg. The spring of the carriage was
found broken and at another station a
piece of iron was discovered on the line.
SERVICES IN LONDON.
London, Aug. 13.—Memorial services
were Jielcl today in the Chapel Royal
of St. James’ palace simultaneously
with the funeral of Dowager Empress
Frederick at Potsdam. The open sen-
tences of the service were chanted and
a royal salute was fired in St. James’
park, followed by'the firing of GO
minute guns.
The following disorderly house cases
are set for trial in Justice Hershberg-
er’s court this afternoon: A. Godkins,
Eula Fox, Fannie Carter, Tom Moore,
Will Dorn, R. L. Andrews. These are
cases growing out of indictments
found by the grand jury. None of the
cases wherein indictments were re-
turned have been disposed of as yet.
Several have been called, but have
been continued.

Potsdam, Aug. 13.—The remains of
Dowager Empress Frederick were in-
terred today beside those of her hus-
band in the mausoleum of Freden-
skarche, near Potsdam.
Between 8 and 9 o’clock the bells of
all the churches in Pottsdam tolled
with two intervals of rest. Shortly
before 10.30 o’clock Emperor William
and other members of the imperial
family and visiting princes assembled
in the royal hall at Wild park, near
the railroad station. High court offi-
cials, military dignitaries, Count Von
Buelow and other members of the
cabinet, Knights of the Black Eagle
and members of the reichstag as-
sembled at 10.25 o’clock in an adjacent
hall. Soon after 10 o’clock a special
train ordered by the emperor to bring
invited guests from Berlin reached
Wild park station. Among the guests
the foreign ambassadors made a strik-
ing figure, wearing their highest offi-
cial uniforms. United States Ambas-
sador Andrew D. White, however, was
attired in simple black. He looked
pale and weak and showed traces of
his recent bereavement by the death
of his son. The procession to the
mauseolum was not imposing and only
royal personages witnessed the final
ceremonies In the mausoleum.

they insured the life of Isaac Y. Chin-
ski of Navasota for. .$5000. In the
policy was a provision whereby the
policy could be surrendered at the end
of ten years. The company alleges
that the policy now calls for the sum
of $3872 and that Marx & Blum claim
to be the legal owners of the policy
and demand payment. It alleges that
Isaac Y. Chinski also claims to own
the policy and has warned the com-
pany not to pay the proceeds to Marx
& Blum. The company prays that
both the parties be summoned to ap-
pear before the court to determine
who is rightfully entitled to the pro-
ceeds of said policy.

THE GRADE BILL.
To The Tribune.
Galveston, Awg. 12.—The communication
from Dr. C. W. Trueheart published in
The Tribune Aug. G, calling attention to
the flaw or omission in the charter, where
it is claimed that no provision has been
made for sea wall protection, has caused
so much comment and uneasiness of mind
among many of our best citizens, who had
- about made up their mind that relief was
near at hand. I am tempted to offer my
solution of the problem, without the least
desire to Impugn the motive of such a
worthy and esteemed citizen as Dr. Truel
heart or question the legal opinion of
Hon. R. G. Street.
Dr. Trueheart calls attention to article
69 in the commission charter, which is as
follows:
‘ “Commissioners shall have power and
are authorized in addition to the powers
granted by this act to issue other bonds,
also issue $1,500,600 5 per cent 50 year
bonds, to be sold at not less than par.
“Proceeds to be used for raising and fill-
ing the grade of the avenues, streets, side-
walks, alleys and lots in the following lo-
calities:
* “1. East of the west line of 13th street,
south of Market street.
“2. West of 13th street and south pf the
north line of Broadway and other local-
ities.”
Dr. Trueheart argues that any attempt
to use the funds derived from the sale of
bonds, as authorized in section No. 69, to
erect a bulkhead or for any purpose what-
ever other than is specified in the com-
mission charter would invalidate the bonds
and eventually kill their sale.
In answer to the question raised by Dr.
Trueheart and coincided in by Hon. R. G.
Street, I will state that while section No.
69 of the commission charter states posi-
tively that the funds derived from the sale
of bonds cannot be used for any purpose
other than filling and raising the grade of
the. city of Galveston, it does not specify
the class of material to be used in accom-
plishing the purpose.
There is no clause in the commission, bill
that will prevent the commissioners from
purchasing large boulder rocks to begin
the elevation on the gulf side. I am sure
none will object to this plan of elevating
the city, even the bondholders could not
question the durability of this class of ma-
terial. To sustain my argument on this
point I will quote a paragraph of an act
of the legislature that was passed April
19, 1901, which is as follows:
“Section 7. The moneys herein and here-
by granted and donated to the city of
Galveston are declared to .be a trust fund
for the purpose of aiding the city of Gal-
veston in paying the interest and sinking
fund upon an issue or issues of bonds.
The proceeds of such bonds are to be used
exclusively for the elevation and raising
of the streets, avenue, alleys, sidewalks
and lots in said city above calamitous
overflows, and for securing and protecting
such filling.”
It is clear to my mind that the commis-
sioners have a perfect legal right to secure
and protect such filling as they might use
from time to time in raising the grade of
Galveston. It need not be called a sea
wall, if you please. “A rose by any other
name would smell as sweet.” To begin the
elevation of the city by using large rocks
on the gulf side which would form a bulk-
head sea wall and at the same time raise
the grade of the city to a certain extent,
would in my opinion conform to ail the
requirements of section No. 69 of the com-
mission charter, and overcome the ob-
stacle pointed out by Dr. Trueheart v/ith-
out any further delay.
To be more explicit on the subject. I will
state that while it will be necessary to
call into consultation practical engineers to
advise the commissioners as to the best
ways and means of accomplishing the im-
provements contemplated under the com-’
