Postmaster at Groesbeck.
Washington, D. C., Nov. 16.—The
president to-day appointed S. T. Pad-
gett postmaster at Groesbeck, Texas.
The promise of deep water is becom-
ing more and more nearly realized as
the days go by. A new, straighter
and deeper channel has been discov-
ered near the north jetty.
For some days past several vessels
have been lying inside the bar waiting
to get over. Yesterday afternoon the
captain of th^ St. Jerome decided to
make an effort to cross. When he
came to the bar he suggested, to the
pilot that they go straight out from the
lightship instead of taking the regular
course. The experiment proved most
successful, as a new channel, hereto-
fore unused, was discovered.
The St. Jerome was drawing 14.6
when she crossed and at no point was
there found less than 15.9 and in many
places as much as 18 feet.
Soon after this vessel crossed nine
others went out without difficulty and
three came in.
Captain Davis of the Summer Hill
said to a Tribune reporter to-dav:
“I have the utmost confidence in
deep water at this port. I am of the
opinion that there will be 18 feet of
water on the bar within a short time.
The new channel discovered yesterday
shows the jetties are doing good work
and accomplishing the desired result.
“I am informed that there are three
mud lumps in the new channel, the
largest of which is not oyer 100 feet in
length. With the assistance of a
dredgeboat these can be removed and
there ’will be no more trouble about
deep water.
“I am going out at 3 o’clock this af-
ternoon for Liverpool and will go
through the new channel, which has
been named the ‘St. Jerome’ channel.
We will draw 14.9 when we leave port
bnt will load to 15.6 outside.”
The news of finding a deeper channel
has caused rejoicing among shippers
and the results of the next few weeks
will be watched with interest.
A Tribune reporter called at the of-
fice of Major Miller, the government
engineer, in the hope of securing an
interview in reference to the new
. channel, but both Major Miller and his
lieutenant were out.
An interview was gained with Pilots
Wilson and Drewey, and both gentle-
men appeared to entertain the same
opinion of the matter. Said Pilot
Wilson:
“It is true that a new channel has
been discovered near the north jetty,
but as far as we can ascertain at the
present there is little difference be-
tween this and the old channel. The
course of the old channel runs as a
figure 8, while the new channel is
practically straight.”
“But I am informed that the new
channel has 18 feet of water,” queried
fhp T’A'nnvt.pp
' “Here is Pilot Drewey,” said Pilot
Wilson, “and just ask him.”
Pilot Drewey and others also seemed
to be of the same opinion—that the
new channel did not carry 18 feet of
“Of course,” said Pilot Wilson, “I
sincerely hope that the new channel
will prove to be deep water, as it would
be a blessing to all vessels entering
this port, but as it stands at present I
can’t see it.”
The last government map, based on
the October survey, showed a strong
lead in the direction of this new chan-
nel and indicated what is now being
realized but is not yet quite accom-
plished, viz., a deep and permanent
channel along the north jetty.
—“Jimmieboy,,’ said Jimmieboy’s
father, “come here and kiss me; you're
a dear little fellow.” “Yeth,” lisped
the boy, doing as he was asked. “I
know that, papa.” “Indeed?” returned
his father. “Who told you so?” “Oh,
you’ve thaidit tho often,” said Jimmie-
boy. “And generally, papa, you know
what you’re talkin’ about.”—Harper’s
Bazar.

Major Miller Says It’s True.
As Major Miller, the government
engineer, stepped off the boat “Anna”
at 3 o’clock this afternoon a Tribune
reporter was there to interview him,
apd to elicit any fresh information in
regard to the much talked of.new cham
nel.
.When questioned in reference to it,
the major said: “So far as I can as-
certain with the meager surveying
that has been done, I find that the new
channel is practically straight and
that it runs parallel with the north
and south jetties. At low water it car-
ries 15 ft. 6 in. and at tide 15 ft. 9 in.
There are three lumps which must be
dredged, and then I am confident we
will strike 18 feet of •water. The cur-
■ rent has already washed most of the
lumps, and consequently very little
dredging will be necessary.”
Captain Scrimegeour speaks in the
highest terms of the new discovery and
claims that the question of deep water

A. Syndicate Forming to Control the
Entire Product.
Denver, Colo., Nov. 16.—The Rocky
Mountain News to-day says a syndi-
cate is scheming to obtain control of
the silver market and dictate the price
of that metal to all silver-using coun-
tries. A conference was held in this
city this week, it is said, at which were
present Daniel Guggenheim of New
York, Messrs. Barton and Nash of
Omaha, Hanover of Salt Lake and
Allen of this city, and representatives
of local smelters and leading silver
producing mines.
Two reports are current as to the
details of the proposed plan. One is
that a syndicate, backed by John D.
Rockafeller and the Rothschilds, will
obtain contral of all smelters in the
United States and Mexico and arbi-
trarily fix the priee of silver, regard-
less of the supply and demand. A
proposition was made that smelters be
taken at an appraised valuation equiv-
alent to cash. This will be paid in
cash. Then each are to have a pro-
portionate block of stock in the new
deal. The Grant people, so it is stated,
wanted their plant paid for at its real
value, not at its cost. This is still to
be adjusted.
According to the other reports, the
proposition is to have the silver of all
smelters handled through one man or
one company. At present the Guggen-
heims have a certain house, the Grant
people another, and so on. There will
be a saving to the smelters of i of a
cent an ounce by having it handled by
one man, instead of half a dozen or a
dozen, but the main object will be to
prevent sudden slumps in the price of
silver.

A Negro’s Awful Crime Stirs Up
Atchison, Kan.
Atchison, Kan., Nov. 16.—Consider-
able suppressed excitement, which
may end in lynching, has been caused
here by the brutal acts of a negro this
morning between 4.30 and 6.30 o’clock.
An unknown negro entered the homes
of four highly respectable white ladies,
living within four blocks of each other,
and outraged them.
The victims are Mrs. Michael Kain,
Mrs. Rosa Kain, Mrs. Grossman and
Mrs. Benjamin Poston.
Searching parties are looking for
the negro in every direction and most
summary justice will surely be meted
to him if captured.
for Galveston is practically settled, the meeting; w. B. Groseclose, C. H.
