LOOKING TO ARBITRATION.
If Effected it Will Concern 20000 Steel
New York. March 14.—A circular is-
sued by President T. J. Shaffer of the
Amalgamated Association of Iron and
Steel Workers asks all the lodges and
sub-lodges of the association to take
on a plan to establish a permanent
board of arbitration and conciliation.
This board will be composed of repre
sentatives of the commission and the
officials of the Steel Workers’ associa-
tion. Mr. haffer’s circular states
that by this board all differences be
tween members of the association and
the trust concerning wages and hours
of labor may bo amicably adjusted and
strikes will be no more.
The appointment of such a board in-
timately affects twenty thousand steel
and iron workers. The proposition to
establish the board will come up be-
fore the convention of the Amalgamat-
ed association to be held at Milwaukee
next May.
HUSTLING THE SULTAN.
War Vessel and Consul to Collect More
American Claims.
New York. March 14.—A special to
the World from Washington says:
The cruiser New York will stop at
Tangier* on the way to Manila and
take aboard Consul General Gummere
who will ho conveyed to the nearest
port to the Morocvan capital. The
consul general is to demand that the
sultan settle the claims of American
citizens against his government. The
New York will await the return of the
consul general. The sultan recently
liipikhited one claim against his govern-
ment but there are a number of other
claims still pending which Ite has shown
no disposition to settle.
Tile vonKul general could make tho
trip from Tangier.* on merchant vessel
plying in those waters but it has been
ihe jKilicy of the administration to itn-
pre-s the sultan by a naval demonstra-
tion Au Morocco.
Most of the claims grew out of inter-
ference by the Moroccan government
official* with commercial agents of the
American business concerns. The
amount involcved is not large but a
principle is at stake.

ARMS SEIZED IN TURKEY.
Mauser Rifles Principally—Signs of
Armenian Agents.' -
New York. March 14.—The Turkish
minister at Washington is credited in a
Washington special to the World as
saying that a number of brigands have
laen arrested in Asiatic Turkey. Many
Mauser rifles of the smaller calibre
were seized. The Turkish minister
thinks this shows that the agencies
which have heretofore tormented trou-
bles in Asia Minor are still operating.

For Dr. Kennedy.
SAN ANTONIO TEXAS THURSDAY MARCH 14 1901.
Laws against the importation of arms
into Turkey are very strict. That any
quantity of arms of the efficiency of the
Mauser rifle should lie discovered in the
interior towns indicates that Armenian
activities have not ceased. The Mauser
rifles found were similar to a style used
by the Spanish troops in 'Cuba. It i->
thought the'ringleaders have been se
cured aml the principal magazines of
arms and ammunition diacovered and
destroyed.
ANOTHER HOSPITAL HORROR.
Mailman Dead and Murderous Treat-
ment Suspected.
New York March 14.—The postmor-
tem examination on the laaly of Herbert
C. Wadman who is alleged to have met
his death by violence in the Manhattan
State Hospital brought out facts whioh
wiil! cause the fullest investigation by
the authorities. The physician
found that tli« fifth sixth ami seventh
ribs on the left -ide Inui been fractured.
The left lung was Injured possibly by
a perforation by one of the broken
ribs and there were numerous discolora-
tions on the face and body. The body
was so saturated with embalming fluid
tbut it was impassible to determine the
cause of death. The internal organs
were sent to Drs. Ferguson ami Ewing
pathologist* of Cornell University Mcdi-
eal school for microscopical examination.
Dr. OTtanfon will await the result of
their work before reporting whether or
not W adman died from natural causes.
This will cause a delay of two weeks.
In the meantime the district attor-
ney's office can take no action beyond
completing its evidence as to the con-
dition of Wadnian before he entered the
Hospital. Numerous affidavits have been
obtained tending to show -that he was
in perfect health.
ROTTEN CALIFORNIA FRUIT.
Market Glutted ami Shipments Sold for
Freight.
New York March 14.—The Journal of
Commerce says;
Tho market for California citrus fruits
especially oranges is at the moment in
an almost demoralized condition. With-
in the last two days no less than 123 ear-
loads have been sold at auction and it
is doubtful whether the entire amount
realized is sufficient to much more than
pay freight charges from California to
ay nothing of returns to growers and
to picker* and of commissions for hand-
ling the fruit here. The freight rate
from California on a box of oranges is
90 cents and some boxes have sold as
low as 33 cents.
The reason for tho demoralization is
the heavy receipts which have come
all nt once and which have more than
filled the apparent demand. In addi-
tion to the large receipt* i* the fact that
some of tho oranges are in exceptionally
noor and soft condition in many cases
amounting to absolute rottenness. It
is claimed that the fruit could not bo
promptly shipped from California on
account of the difficulty in obtaining
cars there.
INDIGNATION HIGH.
The Burning of the Negro at Corsicana
Is Condemned.
Special to the Daily Light.
Austin Tex. March 14.—The gover-
nor was advised yesterday afternoon of
the* burning of th- negro. John Hen-
derson at Corsicana by a mob. The
Governor heartily condemns the action
of the mob and will take action to as-
certain who is to blame for the coward-
ly affair. The burning of the negro 1*
also condemned by the Legislature and
it is stated that the Legislature will
take some action in the matter. The
sheriff and his deputies are condemned
and it is believed that the crime could
have been avoided had the sheriff exer-
cised the property precaution. One of
the members of the Legislature said
today that had the rangers been sent to
Corsicana to protect the negro they
would have been murdered by the mob
and a pitched battle would have result-
ed. From all parts of the state indigna-
tion is high at the action of the law-
less mob. .
ANTICOSTI ISLNAD.
Canada Offer* Menier $3000990 for His
Little Island.
New York the announcement in n
French-Canadian newspaper of Quebec
to Hie effect that the ihiminion govern-
ment has privately offered Mr. Menier
to buy the Island of Anticosti back for
$3000000 has renewed interest iu the
old complication about the island say*
a special from Montreal to the World
which goes on to say tlrat Menier paid
■ inly $125000 for the island and has
since spent $1000900 in improvement*.
News received in the latest French pa-
per* is to the effect that the French
'iMmber of Deputies has passed a law
that no foreigner shall be allowed in fu-
ture to purchase any. island on the coast
of France for any purpose whatever.
This is supposed to be a slap at the
English members of parliament who
want to compel Mr. Menier to sell the
island boek to Canada.

STATE UHIYERSIIIf
NEWS NOTES FROM THIS EDUCA-
TIONAL INSTITUTE.
Itemc Prepared for the Light and Sent
by Wire From the State'* Great
Academy of Knowledge.
Special to the Daily Light.
Austin Tex. March 14.—Mr. Frank
Roberson gave an illustrated lecture in
tlie Auditorium on Thursday night on
the subject of “Briton Boer and Black.”
Mr. Roberson is one of the most eloquent
sneakers who lisa ever appeared before
a university audience; this with the
beautiful picture* which were shown
made the entertainment one of absorb-
ing interest.
Professor Yancey Lewis addressed the
students of the university on last Wed-
nesday at the usual chapel hour taking
for his subject “Oppottuuitich bring ob
ligation*.” lie made a local application
of this siffiject pointing out to the stu-
dents that as recipient* of the state's
bounty they could only give return value
by beeotniug men and women of charac-
ter whose influence should be expended
in elevating tlie citizenship of tin* state.
Prof. Lea is has- all the gifts of ora-
oratory a splendid voice a line presence
and a pleasing personality lie was lis-
tened to with the closest attention by a
large body of stndentc ami was given
almost an ovation at the elose of the
hour.
The winter term examinations are on
and for the next week the attention of
the students will Im- absorbed in this
work. Two days vacation will Ik* given
at the close of the examination*." Many
of the students will doubtless avail
themselves of this bp|MH-tunity to pay a
short visit home. Professor Sutton is
absent from the University visiting affil-
iated schools. Dv. A. \\. Small head
professor of pedagogy in the university
of Chicago visited our school of peda-
gogy this week.
F. W. Carter. J. W. Draper and Arthur
Rector all undergraduate students of
the engineering department have with-
drawn from the university i<M*ently to
accept positions on engineering corps.
This may be taken as some indication
of an activity in railroad building in
Texas and it is certainly a compliment
to the engineering department to have
its students engaged in re**onsible posi-
tions before they complete the mnunnt
of work necessary for graduation.
The bill which has passed the House
and which is now being favorably re-
ceived by the Senate appropriating $29-
000 for a mineral survey of the state
is of much interest to the school of geol-
ogy of the university. The regents have
general control of tho survey through the
school of geology and it 1* hoped that
manv valuable discoveries of the hid-
den wealth of the state will be made
during the next two years.
One hundred and fifty-three students
are now taking their meals at Bracken
ridge Hall at a charge of only #lO.OO
each. The Hall is giving many boys
of limited means a chance for a univer-*
sity education who otherwise could
never have obtained it. It is easily pos
silde for a young man of economical
habits to board at the Hall and pay all
his expenses for a full year al the univer-
sity for $150.00.
The young ladies of the university
have at last succeeded in paying for the
line Emerson grand piano which they
bought and presented to the university
more than two years ago.
The catalogues of the university sum-
mer school for 1901 are out. The facul-
ty is composed of nineteen members all
of them being connected with the univer-
sity with the exception of President H
U. Pritchett of the Sam Houston Nor
mal R. B. Cousins Superintendent of
the Mexia schools and Professor Alfred
Freshney teacher of science in the Aus-
tin High schools. Instruction will be
offered in pedagogy mathematics phil
osophy history German Greek Latin
botany chemistry English physics and
in al the public school branches requir-
ed for first-grade and permanent certi-
ficate above those required for a second

DENVER 4 lUD GRANDE.
Not Selling Out to Missouri Pacific or
Any One Else.
Salt lake tab. March 14.—The Trib-
une today print* tho following state-
ment made by Gou. W. J. Palmer pres-
ident of tho Rio Grande Western rail-
way: The Denver & Rio Grande nnd
Rio Grande Western were originally in
1881. in one interest. This was broken
several years later by the action of the
then management of the Denver & Rio
Grande company. Recent negotiations
have hud for their sole object the bring-
ing of those two line* together again.
Those negotiation* have boon solely be-
tween the Rio Grande Western and the
Denver A Rio Grande. The Union Pa-
cific. or the Southern California (Harri-
man) syndicate has nothing to do with
them and so far as T know have no in-
terest in the results unless they expect
there may be a greater stability of rate*
a* a consequence of the creation of
longer system*. Following the negotia-
tions between tlie Rio Grande Western
ind the Denver & Rio Grande Geo.
Gould or the Missouri Pacific i* undcr-
*to«v! to have acquired a large interest
■n the aluirea of the Denver & Rio
Grande.
The result of tho negotiations be-
tween tho Rio Grande Western and Den-
ver and Rio Grande is not likely to be
determined for two or throe months.
THE BOER NEGOTIATIONS.
CONFIDENCE IS FELT THAT THEY
WILL BE SUCCESSFUL NOW.
The Onus of the Whole Surrender Will
Fall on Botha—Kitchener Inclines
to be More Liberal Than Home Gov-
ernment—The Rand Mines Will Pay
the Piper.
New York March 14. —The feeling
of confidence that terms of peace with
the Boers will be arranged is increas-
ed says a London dispatch to the Trib-
une. The argument which is heard
among them is based upon the natural
nference that Delarey and De Wet
can saddle upon Botha the responsible
ty for initiating the peace movement.
The only honor which remains for the
Joer generals who have resisted the
.esources of the British empire for
■ighteen months is that of holding out
n the last ditch and being drawn with
•eluctance into peace negotiations. De
Wet anil Delarey can now have the
distinction of being faithful to the end
and of yielding to an appeal from
iotha to abandon the hopeless conflict.
Military men are convinced that the
3oer conference will be held to take
dace this week if De Wet be over the
Vaal as Is now probable and that the
3oer leaders will begin by protesting
igainst surrender and end by accept-
ng the terms offered by Lord Kitch-
mer and Sir Alfred Millner after
lolding Botha accountable for the fin-
il collapse of their cause. Presi-
dent Steyn remains in arms and is
irobably the most irreconcilable
imong the Boer leaders but the
Transvaal Dutch in the person ot
3otha. have signalled for truce and
heir allies from the Orange Free state
tre no longer in position to insist up-
>n fighting in the last ditch to the bit-
*er end.

General Scheme.
New York. March 14. —A Washing-
ton dispatch to the Herald say»: The
Taft commission has been ordered to
forward to the war department its
recommendations for the form of gov-
ernment to be adopted. This is in
accordance with the original Instruc-
tion by the terms of which the com-
mission was to prepare such recom-
mendations whenever oruered to do
so. The time has come in the esti-
mation of the President when plans
tor the government of the Philippines
may be submitted for his considera-
tion.
The Taft commission is supposed to
be organizing local government at va-
rious points in the archipelago but It
is asserted at the war department that
this is not interferring with the work
of preparing plans and that the com-
mission Is now at work on a scheme of
general government.
No intimation of the nature of the
scheme has as yet been received. The
commission it is.declared has not re-
ceived any suggestions from Washing-
ton. but has been left entirely unhamp
ered. It may propose any form of gov-
ernment it thinks fit.

pany of New Y’ork have been filed in

Morse as chairman of the reorganiza-
tion oonunittee bough the property of

tle and that the Montana Ore Purchas-
ing company has lieen damaged in the
sum of $5500000 that amount being

PRODUCE EXPORTERS.
Restrictions as to YVdiat is Included in
Atlantic Ports.
New Y’ork March 14. —A meeting of
the exporters of this port lor the pur-
pose of considering requests from mem-
bers of the shipping trade that jiorts
north of Boston be excluded from con-
tracts wherein shipment is restricted to
“Atlantic port or ports” has been called
for March 19. The request is to the
effect that recent amendment* to the
export rules of the Produce Exchange
be considered. These rules provided
that St. Johns Halifax Montreal Que-
bec and Portland be added to tlie list
of ports which shall be a good tender
on “Atlantic Seaboard contracts.”
Tlie fact that Montreal has been in-
cluded in the list ha* brought out the
chief opposition. Montreal has en-
deavored to remedy tlie short weight
trouble resolutions signed by tho ship-
ping interests there agreeing in future
not to sign bills of lading for grain
unless for the net weight ascertained
at the time of ahiptuent seaboard clear-
ance.
New Y'ork exporters say that the on-
ly trouble with the shipments from the
ports in question is that as a result of
Inadequate inspection facilities the out
turn of the cargoes when they arrive on
the other side is it is claimed suoh
as to invite reclamation to sueh an ex-
tent as to frequentlyx cause losses in-
stead of profits or at any rate offend
customer* so seriously as to cause them
to close business relations.

AFTER EFFECTS OF GRIP
Are More Often Serious Than the Grip
Itself.
Physicians and grip sufferers alike are
agreed that the alter effects of the dis-
ease are more to be feared than the acute
attack; you can never be sure that the
disease lias left the symptom complete
to > ' "fniji w
LaGrippc naturally attack* the weak-
est organ and leaves it still weaker.
Not only pneumonia consumption
bronchitis and throat trouble follow the
grip but kidney liver and stomach
troubles just as liable to result provid-
ed any of these organs should happen
to lie in a weak condition at the tint*
of the attack.
To get rid of the grip germ to get it
entirely out of the system and blood
few remedies are so good and none safer
.than Stuart's Catarrh Tablets; they are
not a compound of powerful and dan-
gerous drugs but a pleasant palatable
convenient remedy in tablet form com-
posed of the wholesome antiseptic prin-
ciples of Eucalyptus bark. bhxHl root
mid similar germicide remedies wlii-!i
are perfectly wholesome anti harmless to
the system but death to the germs of
grip catarrh consumption and diseases
of the throat and air passage*.
Mrs. Chas. Groinley. of Memphis say*:
Last winter an attack of the grip left
me with weak back a persistent cougn
and loss of flesh and appetite and after
using various remadi** for aevcral
months with little or no improvement I
finally bought a 50rent package of
Stuart's Catarrh Tablet* at my drag
store and a* they were pleasant and con-
venient to take I used them at all times
of day or night and I was astonished
to secure such flue result* from so pks«-
ant and convenient s medicine. In tao
week* my cough disappeared my ap-
|>etite returned. I improved in fle*h and
color and no one would now think that
I had ever had su*-h a thing a* the grip.
My druggist told me he *oM mors of
Stauart’* Catarrh Tablets fi* the cure
of grip cold* and catarrh than any othet
similar medicine*. _ . . f
