PULL FOR NEW ORLEANS. [
Galveston 'Would like to have the battle
ship Texas come to that city to receive
the silver service which citizens of this
state are to present to- the big war ship,
but the Texas lis too deep of draught to
get into the bay. The Texans should pull
for New Orleans now as the point, for 'the
presentation, rather than have a. commit-
tee go on Ito the east to turn over the gift.
Large numbers of citizens of the state
would visit New Orleans in the event the
Texas went there 'for the occasion men-
tioned.—'Houston Post.
Anyithing more remarkable in the way
of a statement o;f fact than lis contained
in the above paragraph has rot appeared
in -the columns of any newspaper that
reaches this office, and yet this is not the
most remarkable part of it.
The fact has been published time and
again during the past several weeks that
soundings showed a depth of 23 1-2 to 24
feet of waiter on the Galveston bar, and
vessels have sailed out of 411^ port draw-
ing as much as 22.6, the pilots reporting
their ability to bring in or take -out ves-
sels of much deeper draught. The last
bulletin issued from the office of the Unit-
ed States coast and geodetic survey
at Washington, contained this paragraph:
Galveston entrance—Changes in hydro-
graphy—'Recent improve nenits by 'the
United States engineers have so far in-
creased the depth across the bar at the en-
trance to Galveston bay that a least depth
of 24 feet can now be carried at mean low
water. These changes 'will be shown on
the next editions of the chart.
The battle ship Texas draws 22 feet 6
inches, and according to the testimony of
the government engineers, of the pilots
who bring vessels into -the harbor and
carry them out, the Texas could come over
the bar and up to the wharf ar. any stage
of the tide, and certainly such testimony
shloulidi weigh against that of the land lub-
bers and the uninformed. It is all right,
of course, for the Post to “pull for New
Orleans,” if it is so inclined, 'as the port
for Texans to visit to- welcome the battle
'Ship named for their state, and to present
a testimonial in behalf of the people of
Texas, but it should assign some other
reason for doing so, than lick of a suf-
ficient depth of water in the Galveston
channel to float a vessel that draws only
22 feet 6 inches.
These facts have been repea-tedily and
fully given to the Post by its Galveston
'correspondent. The same issue contain-
ing this paragraph contains an. item from
Galveston giving substantially these de-
tails-. _________________

TRADE BALANCE.
The September statement of American
imports end exports makes' a very favor-
able -sho'wing for our folk. Of the do-
mestic exports breadstuffs show an in-
lei'ease of more than $6,000,000 -for the
month of Se-ptemiber, and for -the nine
months ending Sept. 30, the exports reach
the handsome figure of $115,424,'033, as
against $35,325,340 for the- same period last
year. There is lik-ei-lvise -a large increase
in the exports of cotton, mineral oils, pro-
visions and domestic merchandise. There
was a notable failing off in the imports
of dutiable merchandise, that is, $32,000,-
000 'less than the same period last year,
while the exports increased- more than
$100,000,000.
-What follows in the statement is the
natural sequence. With the- balance of.
trade so largely in favor of this country,
gold has been pouring into- itsteiad of out
of our coffers. During September of last
year gold exports exceeded $17,000,000,
while -the imports aggregated only $749,-
456. Last month the exports of gold
footed up $61,050, -and the imports $34,159,-
130.
The figures speak very plainly and ex-
plain the advances in prices- of wheat and
other agricultural prodU'C-s of this coun-
try and, perhaps^ the fall in the price of
silver. The figures further -show that the
period of depression, business -.stagnation
and moneita-ry -stringency has been passed,
and that prospe-rou® -times are just ahead.
Henry Miller,
OF ALTA LOMA,
Galveston County, Texas, hereby announces

fully solicits your support.
Hydrographic Office Amends’ Its Galves-
ton Charts.
The United 'States coast and geodetic
survey, in its notice to mariners, for the
month -of September, gives the following
changes in the hydrography in the en-
trance to Galveston harbor:
“Recent improvements by the United
States engineers have so- far increased the
depths across the bar at the -entrance to
Galveston bay that a least depth of 24
feet can now be carried at moan low wa-
ter. These changes- will be shown on the
next editions of the charts.”
(Reports United States Engineers Sept.
24, 1896. Ghauts affected, 520, 204, 205, 20
and 21.)
The -report was received in Galveston
last night and does tardy justice to -this
port, but -as ship masters are not always
quick to -supply themselves with new
charts, it may be some time before the
Charts referred to in the foregoing report
got into general use. However, the recog-
nition bf deep -water at Gailveston by the
hydrographic office will probably do more
to advertise the port than -anything that
could have been done at this time. Tire
charts of the hydrographic -office are of-
ficial, -and -relied upon by ishiptping men.
Maj. A. M. Miller, corps of engineers,
was seen this morning, and asked if the
battte -ship Texas could enter this harbor
with safety. Maj. Miller said ho would
say nothing beyond -that expressed by the
map made from the last survey of the bar.
This-, however, shows 24 feet and better
at mean low -tide, and with the prevailing
-easterly winds and- an ordinary tide two
feet should be added to this to get the
best water. Maj. Miller evidently thinks
the Texas could be brought -to Galveston
iwith absolute safety, and -said if the ship
comes here he will bony the channel so
•thiat the vessel coutid not get aground if
she tried.
This 'would seem to 'Sectle the matter
and prove a strong card in the hands of
the -coninrititee which is now working" to
have the ship brought here to receive at
the hands of the donors the handsome
present which ha.s been prepared for her.
Tire month of January seems to be fa-
vored for the Texas’ visit. It is likely that
the flag of Admiral Bunce, to whose
squadron the Texas is at present at-
tached, wii'l be somewhere in the West
Indies at 'that -time.

The Aius'tiin- .'State-smiain oif Oct. 14 has
the following to say about -the- impeniding
'Struggle:
No game that will be played by the
’V-aireity eleven this- year iwiiill have such
decisive results as the Gadvestoin game
next -Saturday. Primarily it will show
the strength of the eleven -and give an
indication o-f the improvements that iwill
ha ve to be made in- its composition (bef ore
it meets -the other southern university
'teams.
In comparision with other elevens, the
■present one- suffers very imateria-liy. Some
criticis 'Consider the material! offered not
so good and say that -other elevens will
have a much easier time- in scoring
against the ’Varsity than heretofore. It
i-s true that the ends are not so satisfac-
tory as those on -last year’s- team, and that
one of the 'guards and one of the tackles
are weak. Yet -the decided improvemeint
of Capertoin over hiiis- last year’s work,
■which wais tlhsn exceeidiingly fine, the ad-
dition of .May tub ley, a fiulil blooded In-
dian, at the other hiallf, the .generalship
displayed by Snaky Jones in his signals,
and the general fine playing by Parker
at tackle and -Clarik at center will more
tihian -equ'ab‘z-e matters-. Considering all
these things, together with Trainer Rob-
inisioin’is undoubted aibiility, there i-s no rea-
son* to -fear thiat the ’®6 team is not as
'Strong as any -ever organized at the u-ni-
veossSity. Oif course, iMeLane and 'Ral-
ston are .almost irreparable dosses at the
ends,, but several of the candidates this
year, are showing fine form. A word
about -Jliayitubl'ey. (He is powerful- in ap-
pearance, tackles well, and in his 'bucking
is a prijr oif Cap-erton, of 'whose fine work
lit is utoeless to speak. Besides being' a

fellovy and i-s already very popular among
the' 'students. .At full 'buck the only sutis-

good .main, but the university will
ever cherish the memory of the exploits
of Mafeprick and Day at that posiutioin;.
Of course Satanday’s game will result
in: a- victory for the ’Vairsity. Just bow
large liffie score will be mu- not be easily
•told. ®u't judging from the general com-
position of both teaims,_ the relative team

it will not be far from the 'twenties.

•A. emwlih -shavein, well (built man, about
28 years eld, applied at the City ho*tel,
COTiner iBialtih avenue and Postoffi'ce street,
last night -a-t 6 o’lCloiek for supper and
lodging. 'He appeared- 'to be a Pole or
(Bohemian', spoke -English imperfeetlly and
told the pr-oipirietor, John Riggs, he was
from Fort Worth. ITe registered -as- John
■MiiHer, paid1 for one meal and lodging for
the -night and about 8 p. m. be went to
Ihis room -on 'the second' floor. This nnorn-
limg at 10 o’cjoek Mary Johnson, one of
-the 'dhamibernia'idis, went to the room to
-clean i't up. When she opened th-e door
she isaw the man lying dead on the bed.
iHe had not undressed. iHlis mouth and
-chin 'were discolored' from something that
was ooizing from his- mouth and the -sheet
■and bedding were blaok wher e the liquid
had- dripped from the man’s face.
Dr. Gamlbi'1‘1 was- hastily summoned, but
it w-a's 'too late, as the man had been, dead
several hours.
On a wash stand near the head of the
bed the doctor found a small tin cup and
a -small 'bottle containiing morphine. Ad-
hering to sides of the tin cup were small
globules of morphine. A label of the
firm of Powers & Werjgihtm-an, Pibilaidel-
phia, with the regulation -skiull and -cirot-is-
ibones and- the warning “ Poison” was on
the 'bottle. iMore than ithree-fourthis of
th-e -content's of the bottle had been used.
The doctor said It was evideintly a case of
morhipine poiisoniiing.
Ju sitice Barry took the id'eipoisitioins of
Proprietor Riggs- -and 'Chambermaid Mary
Johnson. They knew nothing more than
is told- above. When Justice Barry ex-
amined the -cljothieis of -the dead man he
found 30 -cents', a .clasp knife, a. fine five
■chambered 3-8 calibre Smith & Wesson re-
volveir and a isdjp of paper on- iwhiidh were
some printed- matter in 'German and some
'writing in lead pencil. No one about the
hotel had ever seen the man before he -ap-
plied' for lodging' last night.
The tin -aup in which- were some traces
of -morphine 'was probably the property of
the dead man, -for the hotel people say it
does not belong to 'them. The clothes
wlhicih the main wore were thcj?e of a
toiler. Over a pair of good trousers he
had a pair of “jeains” and his shirt was of
woolera-. The shoes were cheap, but not
much 'worn, and -he had no baggage. Four
haindkercihiefis were found in his pockets.
'The -slip of paper, the only thing by
whic-ih it 'is likely the man can be identi-
fied, 'was taken by Justice Barry ,to Wm.
OMemlburg for tranislaition-. Mr. Olden-
burg made it out to- be a receipt for $2
from the Wes-tern 'Catlholiic or the -Ciaitho-
I'ic West (newspaper) of Dubuque, la.,
signed by the O-atiholic printing company
per Anton Walzel for subscription to- the
paper. The name of the person to whom
the receipt was given is indistinct and
Mir. Oldenburg -could not say whether it
was Aluiif Barwick or Aluif Barwick.
While the receipt is dated Dubuque, la.,
June 4, 1896, it may have been given in
any other city in the uni-oin where the
Western/ Catholic has an agent. Aluif,
Mr. Oldenburg says, is not a Genmain
name. He believes it is Bohemian.
Undertaker Bevy was instructed’ to
take -charge of the body. .
