many who fancy they see in the Pres-
ident’s message an explanation of an
those confusing and contradictory re-
ports that became current in Washing-
ton shortly after the Senate committee
resumed its sessions, some two weeks
ago. One of these was that the Pres-
ident was willing to make some con-
cessions to his opponents. Another
was that Senator Elkins had surren-
dered and a third was that the Pres-
ident was eager to have the rate bill
passed by Republican votes, so that it
might not be said that the success of
this measure was dependent of Dem-
ocratic votes.
Senator Elkins, since the message
became public, has expressed the opin-
ion that an agreement will be reached
which will give the bill expeditious
passage through the Senate, and it
is the general belief among Congress-
men tiat a regulating bill, which also

is confronted, continues his negotia-

noon formally presented the Premier
with the resolution of the Zemstvo

the State of Texas. The few Texans
interested in pecan culture have al-
ready aroused enthusiasm among
those present concerning the possibil-
ities of pecan culture in Texas and it
is indicated that the present meeting
will be worth much to the extension
of this industry in Texas.
Stories of the beginning of pecan
culture in Texas were told and the re-
sults were such as to provoke wonder
and surprise at the success attained.
Several of those present expressed
an intention of embarking in the pe-
can raising business or enlarging
commercial orchards already started.
Texas already ships out more pecans
than all the other states combined,
but the production is declared to be
but a very small per cent of what it
should be.
A feature of the convention worthy
of special notice and which attracts
many outsiders is the excellent dis-
play of nuts which is on exhibition at
the rooms of the Commercial Club.
Exhibitors from every portion of the
state have contributed fine specimens
of pecans and there are many exhibit-
ors from other states. A shelf extend-
clear across the auditorium is cover-
ed with every variety of pecan grown
in this country and the immense size
of some of them is a revelation to
those who are accustomed to get the
kernel from nuts no larger than a
man’s thumb end. The different uses
to which the nut is put are displayed
on a pyramid loaded with preserved
nut candies, sweet pickles of nuts and
pecan and nut candies, as well as oth-
er delicacies.

English' Towns in France.
“La Monde Moderne,” of Paris, de-
scribes two little English cities near
Paris. Chantilly and Maisons-Lafitte
have become Anglicised because of
the racing establishments there. Their
streets are filled with English sports-
men. English horse trainers and Eng-
lish jockeys. A great stable is labeled
in capitals “Box Hall;” a bar has the
sign “English Tavern,” and there is an
English Protestant Episcopal church.
The English rector and curate are fa-
miliar figures in the town. Altogether
these cities have become about as
English as anything in England.
Railroads Beat Penalty Clause.
Austin: The railroads, which were
defendants in the proceedings insti
tuted by the Attorney General for the
collection of the gross receipts tax
won a notable victory in the Twenty
Sixth District Court here Friday.
Judge Victor Brooks rendered his de
vision on the 8th. He sustained the
contention of the railroads in some
material respects, holding that the
are liable under the Love law for did
1 per cent tax upon their gross re-
ceipts upon freight, passenger and
baggage only, and that the proposed
penalties should not be assessed
against them.
Judge Brooks, in response to ques-
tions privately asked by defendants
and representatives of the State, said
that the effect of his decision was not
to hold the roads exempt from paying
taxes derived from transportation of
mail and express.
The total amount which the State
sued for aggregated $835,000, of which
approximately $645,000 were taxes
and. the remainder penalites. The to
tai which the roads will have to pay
under Judge Brooks decision is about
$285,000.

The Boys Are Getting Busy,
Canal Appropriation.
Washington, Dec. 8.—The subject of
campaign contributions by insurance
companies occupied the major part of
the time of the senate yesterday. It
came up in connection with Mr. Till-
man’s resolution calling for an Inves-
tigation of National banks’ aid in pol-
itics and was exploited by the South
Carolina senator in a speecn of some
length. The address dealt with the
President’s recommendations for the
punishment of briberies in elections,
with Senator Platt’s testimony before
the New York investigating commit-
tee and with other pertinent matters.
It was couched in characteristic lan-
guage and attracted considerable at-
tention.
The resolution directing the Secre-
tary of the Treasury to report wheth-
er the reports of the National Exam-
iners show that the banks have made
campaign contributions in recent
years was adopted at the close of Mr.
Tillman’s remarks.
A large number of bills were intro-
duced, among them being the joint
statehood bill. The senate granted a
request made by Mr. Culberson for
the printing of a document prepared
by Allison Mayfield, a member of the
Railroad Commission of Texas, in re-
ply to attacks made before the Inter-
State Railroad Committee on the laws
of Texas by Victor Moritz of New
York when the latter gentleman was
before the committee as a witness.
Mr. Tillman called up his resolu-
tion calling upon Secretary of the
Sakaroff Is Killed.
London: Lieut. Gen. Sakaroff, form-
er Minister of War, was assassinated.
Tuesday. The government had depu-
ted Gen. Sakaroff to visit the province
of Saratof for the purpose of quelling
the agrarian riots there. A'woman
belonging to the so-called “Flying Col-
umn” of the revolutionary movement )
called at the house of the governor at
Saratof at noon Tuesday and asked to
laws and promising the issuance of
temporary statutes covering the guar-
antees of the manifesto and making
them operative until the National As-
sembly meets, have been issued.
The government made an effort to
resume the post and telegraph services
today, but it was a dismal failure so
far as the latter was concerned. The
office was opened under military pro
tection and there were sufficient num-
bers of clerks, etc., on duty to go
through the form of receiving tele-
grams, but not one was transmitted,
and not a single wire, with the ex-
ception of the line to Tsarskoe-Selo
operated by military telegraphers, was
working. Some mail, however, was
delivered by volunteers under the es-
cort of police and gendarmes. The
mail wagons and postoffice were heav-
ily guarded by Cossacks. Many prom-
inent persons, among them being Prof.
DeMertens, tendered -their services as
strike breakers.
The operations of firms doing busi-
ness abroad and in the interior have

the committee on constitution and
by-laws was debated for six hours and
then adopted, with only a few slight
alterations. Among the provisions is
one placing the per capita tax of mem-
bers at 5 mills instead of 1 per cent,
as was at first proposed. The article
on membership provides that in addi-
tion to farmers, lawyers and doctors
living in the country and in the towns
that are not incorporated may become
members, but lawyers and doctors liv-
ing in cities and incorporated towns
are not eligible to membership. News-
paper.men may become members on
taking the required obligation.
At the noon hour after the constitu-
tion had been adopted, the Texas del-
egation held a caucus and resolved
to vote as a unit on all further ques-
tions coming before the convention.
It also resolved to support T. A. Cal-
vin of Collin County for National pres-
ident, Newt Gresham of Point for Na-
tional Organizer, and W. S. Miller for
National committeeman.
When the afternoon session of the
convention was called to order, how-
ere, Mr. Calvin withdrew his name and
another Texas man, O. P. Pyle was
elected president of the National bo-
dy by acclamation.
The success of Mr. Pyle is said to
be due largely to the efforts of F. V.
Evans of Fort Worth, who is lecturer
for the Twelfth Texas district, who
has been on the ground hard at work
for his man since the opening day oi
the convention.

11:40 o’clock Friday morning, death
resulting from the removal of four
teeth at a dental office Thursday morn-

verity followed the result of the oper-
ation, and despite the application of
the most powerful styptics known to

not be stayed.
When the Senator reached the hos-
pital he was in a very weakened con-

unless the flow of blood was soon stop

Senator Mitchell had long been a
sufferer from diabetes and other viti-
tiating diseases and in his weakened
physical condition rapidly succumbed
to inevitable weakness following such
violent hemorrhages and lapsed into
a state of semi-consciousness from
which he never rallied.
