At'SI IN*. Tc\., April .".—This 1* the*
perl«>d during which applications for
Confederate petitions for the ensuing
quarter are filed with the lVnsion De-
partment, anil ('apt 15. A. Holmes is kept
pretty buoy attending: to tin- mass of cor-
respondence and other work incident to
Ms office. In the course of his official
duty he encounters numerous interest-
ing: situations, end frequently says that
he I/, force 1 to deny an application under
the law when his heart counsels to
grant it.
The Pension Department is dependent
ior its inf irm ition regarding tli»• record
of applicant* solely upon the military
archives of the Confederate tJov. rnmen .
which are maintained at Washington
Th« origin il roster rolls of the Confed-
erate Army and other important docu-
ments were, acquired by the Federal
trops at the evacuation of Richmond.
The Confederate Cabinet, aeeording to
history, met wh< n the nece ssity of aban-
doning Richmond became imperative, aid
considered the question of destrnymg
the Government's archives and papers.
The move was not made, however, and*
with the I'nion Ai.ny wt nt the unpub-
lished history of the Confederacy, par-
ticularly as regards the military phase of
that unfortunate government.
By reference to these archives Captain
Eolmes can trace the record «»f a pen-
sion applicant from the date of his en-
listment to that of his parole, u cap-
tured, the time, place and circumstance.*
of his apprehension are accurately nar-
rated. It is through the fine d tall of
this system that Captain Holmes many
times forestalls an unworthy attempt t<»
draw sustenance from the Stot on a
false pretext. Sometimes he finds that
an applicant wis captured, took the oath
of allegiance to the Federal (jovcrnm< nt
and enlisted in the I'nion Army in the
West, tearing to fight against his broth-
ers in the East because of the possibility
of recognition. Others turn out as desert-
ers who left the Confederate forces ir»
the heat of the conflict and organized
bushwhacking i artks in the thinly popu-
lated States, :>r where the feeling war
divided. Captain Holmes says that tho
last man to apply f««r a p nsbm *.< usual-
ly unong the worthiest. The tellable,
honest and courageous defenders of the
South, he says, until driven through ac-
tual want to such extremity, defer up-
pealing to the State for aid. while there
are always many who are not entitled to
pensions who are trying The hardest to
get them. When Captain Holmes entered
the department he practically reorganized
its system, and now he knows its intri-
cacies like a book.
BOOMING BUSINESS LEAGUE.
Seventy New Members Secured Dur-
ing March—Much Planneo.
Daily Express Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN, Tex., April 5.—At this week's
meeting of the Austin Business League
the report of the membership committee
will be submitted to President Charles
Rogan, showing that during the month
Of March seventy members were added
to the organization, and the income in-
creased by 1600. The membership is now
222 and the annual income $2000. It will
be the purpose of the league to increase
its membership to 400 and its revenue to
$4000 or 15000 by midsummer.
The membership committee recom-
mends in its report that an investment
in literature be made after the fashion
of San Antonio and other cities, that the
National Elks, when they meet at Dal-
las, may through its distribution learn
something of Austin and its contiguous
territory.
A permanent advertising campaign, to
attract homeseekers and others, is sug-
gested.

AISTIN, Tex., April 5.—It Is expected
that the curr -it week will witness im-
portant developments in the war maneu-
ver project with reference to the parti-
cipation of the Texas National Guard at
ih" Leon Springs camp next summer.
There s« ems to be a mutual willingness
to bring the guard and the army to-
-.•tb# r for instruction, and doubtless such
will result, as the stage of negotiation*
row ponding is sufficiently advanced to
warrant the prediction that at least two
regiments probably the entire guard
will assemble with their brothers of the
regulars when the bugle call to mimic
warfare is blown.
Apparently there are but two details
to be adjust d. The questions of tie
Texas allotme.it of the milltM
fund and the exact date of the amp are
jet to be determined. The War De-
partment has advised that the -amp will
be called in July, but when this infor-
mation got abroj.d there Immediately was
laised an objection by members of the
Klks. whose National convention- promis-
ingly a huge event will take place in
Dallas during that month. It is the de-
sire of the Texas authorities to » ffe:*t
an arrangement of dates that will in no
wise conflict with this convention of the
Democi it l< pi in a 11< s later In th i month.
It is believed that the War Department
will satisfactorily adjust this matter
shortly.
The amount of money alloted Texas
was 120,000 Thl • Is not consld< red em
and the Adjuti nt General has so in-
formed the department at Washington.
Pending the con pletion of si.eh prelimin-
rrles nothing definite respecting tin
camp may be renounced.
In the meantime the Texas Guard is
t ndcrgolng a rh id inspection by Federal
officers, Colonel Buttler and Ma jo* Ayer,
and, according to private reports re-
ceived it the office of Adjutant General
Newton, is not being found warning in
any material respect. The guard is well
equipped, maintains Its equipment n
first-class order, and regularly and ef-
ficiently attends to the duties impose!
by the militi i laws. A new arm will
soon be disiiibtted, being the 19)3 mod. 1
Sprlngfi"ld rifle, to substitute the. Krag-
Jorgensens now In use. The guard will
be equipped with brand new >venpons
when it as3emblts at Leon Springs.
The local infn try and cavalry ersrari-
?;atlons will be inspected this week by
Colonel Buttler.
ROBERTSON LAW REHEARING.
Decision Expected From Supreme
Court Next Wednesday,
Da.ly Express Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN, Tex., April 5.—The Texas
State Supreme Court has under advise-
ment a motion for rehearing in the case
of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Com-
pany vs. T. H. Love, Commissioner of
insurance, which case was brought to
test the constitutionality of the Robert-
son investment and deposit law.
The court held that the action was
premature, and that the issue was raised
too soon, because other facts in connec-
tion with the admission of the company
had not been passed upon by the Com-
missioner of Insurance. It was of this
decision that the rehearing is desired,
and the motion therefore has been pend-
ing two weeks.
The court was extremely busy during
the week preceding the last session day,
Wednesday, and that probably accounts
for it not disposing of the motion for
rehearing. The court may dispose of it
next Wednesday. Even if It should be
overruled the life company can bid* its
time, and after the Commissioner of In-
surance shall have finally ruled as to
other lawful requirements the company
will be in a position to bring proceed-
ings to raise the question of the validity
of the Robertson law.

Dally Express Austin Bureau.
AISTIN, Tex., April 5.—In the 1'nlted
States Supreme Court at Washington to.
morrow the Waters-Pierce Oil receiver-
ship case will be submitted on certiorari
from tiie judgment of the I'nlted States
Circuit Court of Appeal* at New Orleans.
Attorney General Davidson, Assistant
Light foot, Geo. W. Allen and T. W. Greg-
ory of counsel for the State will repre-
sent the State of Texas In that and other
cases pending frefm Texas in the high
court.
When the receivership case Is decided
at Washington that will probably be the
end of that proceeding If the State s
receiver is sustained. The Federal cir-
cuit Court of Appeals held that Eckhardt,
appointed by the State courts, was the
rightful receiver, while Federal Judge
Bryant had appointed Dorchester and
maintained him as receiver. Dorchester s
appointment was made without notice
to the state, done secretly, and after
Eckhardt had been named by the local
District Court. Judge Bryants action
was reversed by the Circuit Court of Ap-
peals. and the Supreme Court of the
I"lilted States granted a writ of certior-
ari from that decision, thereby signifying
its intention of reviewing the sane . That
revl* w will now follow the submission
of the case tomorrow and the decision
*111 he anxiously awaited in Texas.
in that connection it will i». i. m< mbered
that one of the cases in which writ of
error was granted by the 1'nited States
Supreme Court was the State Court side
oi t lie receivership. The Washington
court may hold one until the other is
submitted, or take some action to har-
monize the litigation. After Mr. Eck-
hardt was appointed the oil company
did two tilings. It had Mr. Dorchester
appointed in a Federal Court and ap-
pealed from the court's order naming
Eckhardt. The Dorchester side of the
case Is to be submitted at Washington
tomorrow, while the appeal in the Eck-
hardt case, going up through the State
Courts, has Just reached the highest
court in the land. The Attorney Gen-
eral, it is known, will make a motion to
consolidate the two or advance the Eck-
hardt case, also the main and penalty
case. That motion will be filed at once.
The court at Washington might sustain
the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals, and
yet the State s receiver could hardly take
charge of the Waters-iMerce property in
Texas until the appeal in the Eckhardt
case was decided at Washington. It
seems that one depends upon the other,
and that there may be some complication,
especially if the New Orleans Circuit
Court is upheld, which would mean a re-
versal of Judge Bryant. Such action
might cause Dorchester to be discharged
and the property revert to the company
until the Washington court decided the
Eckhardt ease, 'i nat would be one pa-
cific solution of It.
AS TO ACCOUNTING SYSTEM.
No Action Yet Taken by State Board
on Bids Received to Establish
New System.
CAMPAIGN IS
BEING MADE ON
VIGOROUS LINES
Present Political Contest Is Not
in Consonance With Highest
Ideals of Politics.
SOME OF THE THINGS
THAT ARE CENSURED
Dally Express Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN, Tex., April 5.—The Governor
is expected back from Palestine and Crys-
tal hake some time during the current
week, but It Is not believed that the State
Board to arrange for an Investigation of
the accounts of the State Departments
ami institutions and devise modern and
safe systems of bookkeeping will meet in
the immediate future. Chairman .May-
field of the Railroad Commission, Sec-
retary of State liuvio and Governor Camp-
hell compose the board and all were In
Austin during the liist week, yet nothing
was done, although the bids have been
under consideration for over a month.
The bids were opened March 2. and sev-
eral of the accounting firms had repre-
sentatives on the ground, but nothing re-
sulted. No explanation has been given
of the delay, hence no action is expected
Immediately.
It was expected that the work would
be got under way In some of the depart-
ments as soon as possible, particularly In
the Comptroller's and Treasurer's De-
partment.--, where the greatest amount of
accounting and the entire banking of the
State are done.
The Comptroller Issues deposit war-
rants for money placed in the treasury
and none may be withdrawn without his
warrant. It was thought that these two
departments would be the first checked
over and that the $ 10.000 appropriation
would complete the work as to them.

The paving committee contemplates
pushing this work as rapidly as prac.
tlcable. When the pavement has been

AUSTIN, Tex., April 5.-The Court of
Criminal Appeals will convene in this
city tomorrow for the final three-month
term before adjourning for the summer
vacation, after which it will meet at
Tyler and sit three months.
The docket of the court Is said to be
quite heavy, not only because of tho
business In this section, but also because
a number of cases were transferred from
the Dallas session.
Judge W. P. Ramsey will sit for th*
first time in Austin, he having been ap-
pointed since the court was here last,
and having entered upon his duties at

Al'FTIN, Tex . April ft. A month ago
The Kxprcss forecast the political mi-
asma toward which the inchoate cam-
paign was then trending, and in tho
light of the w«-«k's events Its prediction
has been verified. The program, fetich*
istically embraced by partisan clans and
publications, spare nothing from the stig-
ma of Ita noxious effluvia, but, on tho
contrary, drags Into a maelstrom of filth
and abuse that for which the laws
of Southern chivalry have until now im-
posed respect. (
Sensational warnings of probable Im-
pending assassination of a popular lead-
er; publication of scurrilous attacks on
the character of men prominent in pub-
lie life; the He swapped on the stump
and in the dally journals; charges of dis-
loyalty to political ere. d and principle
and of dishonesty in office, made not
even through the softening carb of in-
uendo, but violently and with Intent to
harm; brothers arrayed against each
other, and the domestic felicity of the
home threatened; all these characterize
politic al condition that smacks of Mus-
eovitlsh revolution and nihilistic intrigue.
official cireles, the majority of whose
•onstltuents haw assiduously endeavored
to remain without th»- pule of this bit-
ter controversy, have been shocked by
the extrenifTy to which the campaign is
h-adlng. The administration is but a
spectator, yet what it sees is sufficient
to disgust and to inspire the supplication
that the turmoil's tentacles will not
reach out and enfold its members.
Regret at Bitterness of Strife.
Regret is general that the faction lead-
ers are resorting to such reprehensible
tactics. A prominent State official—a
friend of Senator Bailey—remarked re-
cently that his idea of a campaign em-
braced thorough exposition of what
Senator Halley has done for Texas dur-
ing his long tenure of public office. The
Senator's struggles in the House of Rep-
resentatives and in the Senate for mea-
sures that sought to benefit the State,
the South and Democracy; his vast in-
fluence in legislative affairs of the Gov-
ernment. exercised by virtue of his ac-
knowledger] leadership and pre-eminence;
his perspicuous intelligence and his apti-
tude for coping with intricate problems
of State; his thorough command of con-
stitutional Taw; all of his multifarious
nullifications for his exalted office with
which he has been endowed bv nature
ind his own application- all of these
should be heralded throughout Texas in
this campaign that the people rnight
know the caliber of the man and judge
of his fitness and worthiness to occupy
his dignified position, absolutely free
of political taint applied by a dissenting
faction of his constituency, and unhar-
assed by sporadic attempts to unseat
him. I'nseemly assaults on his oppon-
ents. this official thinks, should be dep-
recated.
Senator Bailey's record is of sufficient
lustre to make inconspicuous in its
widespread reach all of the shortcomings
with which lie has been charged. And
on that record alone his campaigners
should prosecute his race and the race of
his associated candidates.
On the other hand, it is likewise sug-
gested that the proponents of the Attor-
ney General should exclude from their
political maneuvers for his re-election
everything that has no bearing on Mr.
Davidson's efficiency as the chief law of-
ficer of the State; that they should con-
trast the wisdom of continuing in office
a man who. has been tried and who lias
rendered an exemplary account of him-
self in the voluminous litigation in which
the State lurs been involved duripg his
incumbency, with that of accepting the
service of a man uninitiated in the par-
ticular regime through which the State
is not yet passed but passing, and leave
to the intelligence of the people, unbiased
by scandal or perfidious charges, the de-
termination of this momentous issue.
Foreign Questions Injected.
It is pointed out that the question of
morality is foreign to both issues, vet it
is persistently foisted on the peoj le a-*
an element involved in the problem they
are to solve at the polls. Humaidtv is
prone to err. and always will be until the
dawn of tlie milicnnlum. and brill-ant men
are as susceptible to shortcomings) as
those of mediocre minds, the only differ-
ence being that their prominence uiagni-
fies the fiults of the former, and th^ir
obscurity enve'npcft the peccadillos of tl-.»
latter; but the j rosenee of offending act;
may be ascertained in both if subjected
to the scrutiny of the hypercritical. With
all this In mind, thore who deprc \«te the
trend of thinfis are striving to effect a
transformation before overmuch wrong
has been committed. Not only is the
dominant party menaced, but Texas i«
lapidly becoming the subject of her sister
States' contiinie'y. it is argued, and un-
less the surges of discord are calmed,
the grand old ship that has weathered
so many storms from without may be
riven from stem to stern by an interne-
cine blast that will sear and wither all
that feels its polluted breath.
Theiy is less than n month in sv'nich to
complete the campaign for delegates at
large to the National convention. Dur-
ing this period dozens and dozens of
speeches will be made by the respective
candidates and their promoters. GaugM
by reports that reach the capital, the dis-
closures of the last few days are but
harbingers of others that now i»*e incu-
bating and which, at the opportune mo-
ment, will he itvealed in tho abhorrent
character as ihe dernier resort of the
respective faction leaders to sway the
popular mind or control a vote. Tho
war Is truly on. and grows more san-
guinary as It progresses.
Division of the Campaign.
Chronologieal!y. the campaign divides
itself into tw.) distinct parts, with the
Bailey and anti-Bailey issue dominant.
The followers of Senator Bailey are
chiefly bent \t present on insuring his
election as del gate to the National con-
vention, and his antagonists are equally
active to prevent it. These will be ttu»
lespeetiv? objects of the two factions
until May 2 aas come and gone. After
that the Bailey and anti-Bailey issue
will remain in Texas politics to center
around the Attc rney General's race.
Bailey men believe that the Senator's
election tn May will presage the defeat
of Davidson in July, and are striving to
this end. but they are also planning to
execute more masterful stratagems to
elect R. M. Wvnne in the event of Sen-
ator Bailey'* defeat. In this respect they
have the advantage of the opposition,
whose fight Is continuous until July I*

AUSTIN, Tex.. April 6.—Tax Commis-
sioner Dashiell will this week complete
some of the preliminary estimates of in-
tangible asset valuations and certify same
to the railroads and other corporations
and cite them to appear on Monday, May
4. and show cause why the valuations
should not be adopted. The second in-
stallment will go out later, and the hear-
ings thereon will occur on May 20. The
law requires that fifteen days' full notice
he given and Mr. Dashiell hopes to mall
out the preliminaries on the 10th Inst. .
It has been generally reported that the
intangible values would not he as large
this year as they were last, and there i*
much anticipation over the figures to he
given out this week in order that com-
parisons may be made with last year's
valuations. The total last year was $172,-
000.000, and the Missouri, Kansas & Tex-
as is contesting 50 per cent thereof in
most of the counties through which it op-
erates. The recent financial trouble great-
ly decreased tonnage and gross revenue
and the increased physical tax values un-
der the full rendition law are said to be
the causes which will result in rcduced
intangible values.

AUSTIN, Tex.. April 5.—Engineer
Thompson of tho Railroad Commission is
at work preparing his elaborate reports
of the condition of tho Texas & Pacific
west from Fort Worth to El Paso, and of
tho Southern Pacific between El Paso
and San Antonio. It is understood that
tho reports of both Mr. Thompson and
Chairman Mayfield will show the South-
ern Pacific, or Galveston, Harrisburg &
San Antonio, a model piece of track and
property between the points mentioned,
but neither will say how the Texas &
Pacific is to be eompared with it.
Governor Campbell invited Chairman
Mayfield to go to Crystal Lake fishing
this week, but Mr. Mayfield found it im-
possible to leave so soon after his two
weeks' inspection trip. Whether or not
the two high officials intended discussing
tho refusal of the Texas & Pacific to obey
tho Commission's improvement orders is
not known. While both said it was to be
a social fish, nevertheless, it has been
felt in Capitol circles, since the confer-
once and invitation became known, that
it was something of more than passing
notice.
It is a fact that tho Governor and some
of the members of tho Commission are
much perturbed over the International &
Groat Northern receivership, and the de-
fiance of the Texas & Pacific in its un-
equivocal refusal to obey the improve-
ment orders.
