THE GALVESTON DAILY NEWS. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 1> 1887.
/
Ingtnat the majority of the people of that
county favor Maxey. It is IjeliereJ here
that the petition was got up in the office o£
the United States marshal, as five of his
deputies—T. Cabell, J. W. Record Geo
FeaiB, J. T. Tooley aud YV.Morton—sign
it. The petition is also signed by the cleric
of the federal court, Houston. The peti-
tion was sent to one of General Maxev's
managers, ex-Senator Ligh'foot, who deliv-
ered it to the representatives. There are
other petitions coming from everywhere to
everybody.
At a late hour everything points to tho
election of lieagati to-morrow. This may
occur on the first or second ballot. It was
almost a foregone conclusion that he would
be eleoted when the adjournment took
place unless a combination could be made
against him. There have been meetiug?,
but, as far as can be ascertained, no com-
bination v;as made. The legisla-
ture is becoming weary, and the
i'.our is nearly here when tha
rale will be told. The only possible way to
beat him is for the great bulk of Ireland's
Tote to go for Maxey, and that can not be
deperded on. Even count his opponents
scratch by one or two votes, which is highly
improbable, Terrell could be thrown in to
save the same. Terrell could pull enough
votes away from the combined to save Kea
gan. Then after another look to try the
endurance of all hands, if Reagan
could not get the place he would be forced
to reciprocate with Terrell. But this is tbe
purest theorizing. There seems to be no
chance to get Ireland's strength solidly for
Maxey. The race may not be so close at
the last quarter as heretofore expected.
There are those who are tired, and if it is
seen that Reagan has a dead thing the
whole opposition may go to hiai
in a lump. In conclusion, if
Reagan is not elected to-morrow
there will be surprise in Austin. But thore
»re many men who still profess confidence.
They are unyielding and there are Ireland
men who are still sticking. The woman
who said scissors till she could only work
her fingers in imitation of them as she
drowned was the maternal ancestor of
some of these Ireland folks.
There have been some reports floating in
here about the use of money, and the pre-
sence of Governor Ireland and Mr Waldr,
pool commissioner, at the Driskill hotel h is
been considered sufficient proof of the
charge. All this is not only the sheerest
nonsense but outrageous. Senator Maxey
and Governor Ireland both have rooms at
the same hotel. So do several railroad men.
"Waldo is here looking after railroad
legislat on and appeared to day before the
committee having in charge the railroad
bills. He is attending to his own business
and that alone. Hooper, another railroad
man. lives here. John Young Gooch, an
attorney for the International road, is here
and is a friend of Reagan. The friends of tlia
candidates may have corraled, may have
gone to the extent jof paving a striker here
hnd there, but there have been no
vast sums of money spent, and the worst
enemies of either of the throe candidates
have never, and will not in the future,
charge either of them with having used
money to secure their election; and if the
railroads had been putting up any money
Tub Hews bureau or someotber newspaper
force would have found it out, and if aay
strikers had been purchased the money
was ill spent, because there is not one of
them in (be place who has any influence on
» single legislator.
Senator Claiborne to day, just at the ad-
journment of the legislature, called on all
who were in favor of harmony and a set-
tlement of the senatorial question to meet
in the rooms of the Supreme Court, at 8
o'clock, this evening. Everybody is war-
like if the spirit is to be judged by the at-
tendance. The News force was on hand,
being in favor of harmony and a settle-
ment, and three more olive-branch-inclined
individuals appeared, but the peace con-
feience didn't materialize.
TALKING ABOUT TERRELL.
he stands another chance.
At a late hour to night the Maxey people
ire working on the hypothesis that Ire-
land's supporters will be turned loose very
soon alter the balloting begins to-morrow.
It is that this will result from recall-
ing Terr ell. The Terrell men have stood close
o the candidates they selected after their
chief went out, eastern men going to Rea-
gan, northern men to Maxey and western
men to Ireland. They, however, besides
being impatient, are disposed to think
Teirell has another chance, and have
been very active and industrious all
Say, and to-night they have the
pJomise of many votes which have from
the first stood by the other candidates. If
Terrell again comes in it will result in
prizing out Maxey or Ireland and starting
another triangular contest. If Terrell is
not entered, the probabilities are that
Reagan's election is assured by
the third ballot. No dark horse
can nialette riffle as matters now stand.
It has been proposed to night to enter
Horace Chilton witll the object of demoraliz-
ing Reagan's home \ ote, but it would only
result in a very unpleasant experience for
Chilton. If Terrell is put in again it will
be before the first ballot or not at all.
There are here to night ten workers for Ire-
lank to every vote he holds, and very near
the same proportion of outside workers for
Reagan and Maxey. The Collin county re-
presentatives to day received a telegram
from Congressman' Throckmorton declin-
ing to jiermit the use of his name in the
senatorial contest under any circumstances.
the very latest.
The Maxey caucus held until about 11.30
to-night. The members who attended ex-
pressed some hope of success to-morrow.
It has just leaked out that a determination
was made in the caucus to exert all efforts
for success tomorrow, and in the
event of failure to withdraw Maxey
from the field. This may leave the fight
between Reagan and Terrell, with the in-
fluence of the retiring candidates in favor
of the latter. Whether that influence
would control enough of their following
to carry Terrell ahead can not be known
until the issue is tested, if |the Jcontest
assumes that shape.
WHAT IS THOUGHT
at san augustine.
San Augustine, Tex., January 81.—There
is a great deal of interest manifested here
iB the senatorial contest at Austin, the al
most universal expression being in favorof
John H. Reagan, and no little surprise is
manifested at the action of our senator
(Garrison) and Representatives Davis and
Truitt in voting for Ireland wlieu they can
hot know that our people favor the election
of Judge Reagan.
IN OTHER STATES.

Indianapolis, Ind., January 31.—To-
day's joint senatorial ballot possessed no
significance whatever. So many members
were paired that neither house had a quo-
rum. The result was: Turpie 14, Harrison

nal Court, in this city, to-day, the case of
the Adams express messenger David B.

to the noted •• Jim Cummings " train rob-
btry, was continued until morning.

TALKING OVER THE TARIFF.
RANDALL SOUNDING THE DEMOCRATS.
Ctulis'e and His Friends Willing to Meet Him
Half W?y—The Interstate Com-
merce Bill-Notes.
Washington, January 31.—[Special]—At
the conference held yesterday between Mr.
Randall and his friends and Mr. Carlisle,
the speaker was requested to confer with
the Democratic members of the ways and
means committee and ascertain their views
and intentions with regard to the proposed
Randall tanif bill. To-day Mr* Carlisle
met the committeemen twice by appoint-
ment and the whole subject was discussed.
The result was that Mr. Carlisle was re-
quested in turn by the Democratic ways
and means committeemen to confer
with Mr. Randall and ascertain if
possible just what he desired to do and
when. His proposition is regarded as be-
ing far from definite, and until they know
liis exact designs, and when he proposes to
enter upon their exaction, the revenue re-
formers do not ewe to commit themselves.
The speaker and his friends are anxious
for unity of action and will meet Mr. Ran-
dall and his friends half way in any fair
effort to reduce war taxes. This they have
repeatedly given assurrance of, but ft?
assurrance has so far been withe- reeling
any proper response. The -.ardly expect
anything to come of the present negotia-
tions, but are determined that they shall not
fail because of any fault of theirs. It
looks very much as if Mr. Randall was
making only a hollow demonstration. The
matter need not consume a great deal of
time if brought into the House under cir-
cumstances that would insure Democratic
unity. But everything seems to point to the
fact that Mr. Randall has not abandoned
his old position of wanting to reduce only
internal revenue taxes and leaving the tariff
practically untouched. Monday is the last
suspension day of the session and it aa
agreement between the two factions can bs
reached before that time the question can
be brorght up to advantage then. It is not
probable, however, that it will be.
SECRETARY MANNING.
he will retire.
New York, January 31.—There can no
longer be any doubt about Manning's in-
tention to resign shortly after the adjourn-
ment of Congress, or as soon as the duties
of his office will permit it. The president
has apparently given up all idea of retain-
ng Manning in his cabinet. When he en-
tered the White-house he entertained the
notion that it would bo a great thing to
be surrounded by the same body of ad-
visers throughout his term of office, and
he frequently expressed the hope that the
cabinet as originally formed would remain
intact while he held office. But all thi3 is
to be set aside, and it would surprise no
one now if Manning's resignation proved
the signal for a complete reorganization of
the cabinet. Manning, I hear, had a long
consultation with the president Saturday,
in the course of which it was finally de-
cided upon that the resignation of the sec-
retary should be accepted, and take
effect in the latter part of April
or early in May. At this interview
Mr. Scott, of Pennsylvania, was present.
This fact alone would seem to indicate who
is to succeed Mr. Manning. It is certain
Mr. Scott could have the treasury portfolio
if he wanted it. He is not only on very in-
timate terms with the president, but is
known to agree substantially with Mr.
Cleveland on all leading financial ques-
tions. The | chances of Mr. Faircliild being
chosen to succeed Mr. Manning are by all
well-informed people considered very
slight indeed, although his appointment in
this era of surprise is not beyond the reach
of possibility.
THE OUTRAGE CASE.
objecting to so many witnesses.
Washington, January 8.1.—[Special]--The
senate committee on privileges and elec-
tions objected to day to the large number of
witnesses the defense In the alleged Texas
outrage case desires called. There are
fifty-five in all. The complainants have
handed in a list of seventeen witnesses.
Senator Coke will insist that the
people accused shall have the
very fullest opportunity to vindicate
themselves. The Benate, having put them
on trial on a most serious charge, can not
afford, Senator Coke holds, to deny them
the amplest opportunity to show that the
charge is groundless. The matter will
probably be settled to morrow.Senator Pugh
a member of the sub-committee charged
with the investigation, said to day that not
before Wednesday of next week would the
committee regularly begin the examination
of witnesses.
INTERSTATR COMMERCE BILL.
whatever course was taken by the House
should belind iu view erf the gravity ot tutor-
ests involved, not only with the knowledge
but with full assent and active concurrence
of the administration. They therofore de
terinised toforward copies of the Edmunds
joint resolution, as passed by the Seriate,
tlie (Junean retaliatory bill, as introduced
into the Senate, and the Belmont retaliate
ry bill, as reported by the foreign af-
fairs committee, to both Secretary Bayard
and Secretary Manning. Seoretary Manuing
is specifically asked for expression of his
views and preference on the bills as bear-
ing upon interests committed by law to bis
supervision; and both the secretary of the
treasury and the secretary of state are
asked to suggest any modifications which
may seem to them desirable in either
of the measures. Tho earliest prs-
sible reply is solicited. There is
an unauthorized whisper to the effect
that one reason for this course has been the
fact that the recent action of the Senate on
certain privileged questions has been re-
sented by the administration as having
been taken in violation of a long-establish-
ed usage as to consultation with the state
department, and the house committee de-
termined to stand right on record in this
regard.
SERIOUSLY SICK.

Washington, January 31.—[Special|—
Governor Throckmorton is still confined to
his room, with little prospect of being able
to participate in the proceedings of the
House duriDg tlie remainder of the session.
Bis condition is not at all alarming, but he
is very weak and is kept a pretty close
prisoner.
CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.
tiie president will sign it.
Washington, January^!!.—[Special—The
attorney-general returned the interstate
commerce bill to the president to day, with
his opinion. The ground taken by
General Garland can not be ascer-
tained, but no doubt as to what
the president's action will be is enter-
tained. He will sign the bill, and it is said
will promptly appoint the commission.
Applications for the places continue to pour
in Irom every part of the country, and prin-
cipally from business men. The report that
the Presidentdesired a representative busi-
ness commission has in some measure dis-
couraged the politicians.

SENATE.
Washington, January 31.—Mr.Hoar pre-
sented resolutions of the Massachusetts
legislature concerning the treatment of
American fishing vessels in Canadian wa
ters, declaring in favor of retaliation to the
extent of denying to Canadian vessel < iu
American ports the right to purchase sup-
plies, and the eventual exclusion of all
Canadian products by land or sea, until the
e ffensive le^ isla'.ion and action of the Can a
dian authorities are discontinued. Re-
ferred.

Mr. Van Wick offered a resolution call-
ing on the secretary of the treasury for a
report as to whether any national banks
are loaning money or discounting notM,
requiiing payment in gold coin only.
Adopted.
The Senate proceeded to the considera-
tion of the sundry civil appropriation bill.
Mr Allison, who has charge of the bill,
stated that the committee on appropriations
had not added a siugli item for public
buildings not already authorized bv law.
But the bill had been reported in the House
even before the estimates had been printed
and the senate committee had felt it its
duty to supply the omissions. The total
amount for public buildings was about one
and a half million.
Mr. Beck, a member of the committee on
appropriations, thought the House had
made a mistake in many of the appropria-
tions in this bill. The committee had
agreed that the Benate had better (disre-
garding political questions altogether) ten-
der what was best for the good of the ser-
vice; and if, in the conference, the House
thought fit to insist, it might take the re-
sponsibility. He knew that the Senate had
been charged with extravagance, and that
the House lauded itself for economy. He
was one Qf the Democratic senators who
were perfectly willing to take the responsi-
bility. He did not think these gentlemen
who objected to do what the public service
required would make any reputation be-
fore the country, or that any party capital
was to be made out of that economy which
impaired the public service.
At 2 o'clock the railroad attorney bill
was laid before the Senate as unfinished
business, but it was informally laid aside
and the sundry civil bill proceeded with.
A good deal of discussion followed, and,
alter disposing of 50 pages of the bill out of
104, the Senate adjourned.
house.
Mr. Lawler of Illinois offered the follow-
ing preamble and resolutions:
Whereas the belligerent tone of the Ca-
nadian press and the announcement that
Great Britain will shortly dispatch a fleet
of war ships to cruise in the vicinity of our
northeastern line, indicate hostility toward
the United States growing out of our posi-
tion on the fisheries question, and
Whereas Admiral Porter has directed
attention to the fact that twenty-seven of
our Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific harbors are
absolutely defenseless, eleven of them, to
wit: New York, San Francisco, Boston,
the lake ports, Hampton roads, New
Orleans, Philadelphia, Washington, Balti-
more, Portland, Maine, and Rhode Island
ports of Narragansett bay, are in urgent
need of immediate defenses: and
Whereas it is alleged that Great Britain
and Canada are in possession of charts
and amplifications of all harbors and coast
defences; therefore,
Resolved, that the president be requested,
as commander-in-cliief of the army and
navy, to inform the House of Representa-
tives at an early day what steps, if aay, are
necessary, in his judgment, to provide for
this emergency.
The resolution was referred.
By Mr. Boutelle of Maine—A resolution
directing the committee on foreign affairs
to report hack forthwith the senate retalia-
tion bill.
By Mr. Loveringof Massachusetts—Reso-
lutions of the Massachusetts legislature in
favor of the retaliation bill.
By Mr. Crain of Texas—A resolution pro-
posing constitutional amendments chang- .
ing the inauguration bill to the last Tues- j
day in April; providing, that tha Fiftieth
Congress shall terminate on the 31st of De- |
cember, 1888, and the Fifty-flrst Congress '
shall then begin; and providing that sena-
tors whose term of office would not expire
until March 4, 1889, shall continue in otiicc
until their successors are appointed of
elected.
By Mr. MeRae of Arkansas—Prohibiting
members of Congress from acting as attor-
neys or employes for railroad companies
holding charters, or having grants ot land,
or pecuniary aid from the United States.
The House then went into committee of
the whole on the agricultural appropria-
tion bill. After a slight amendment the
bill was reported to the House and passed.
The House then went into committee of
the whole on the bill to consolidate certain
bureaus of the navy department.
Mr. Herbert ot Alabama explained that
the chief object of the bill was to consoli-
date under one head bureaus concerning
the building and equipping of ships. As
an instance of the abuses which existed
under the present system, he stated that
the construction of the New York,
a wooden vessel, was begun in 18S4,
and the last stroke of work doue
upon her was in 1SGS (1880?).
For thirteen years she lay upon the stocks
in Brooklyn, and then, in 1881, the bureau
of steam engineering built boilers for her,
which remain to day in tlie Washington
yards. Under the pending bill one man
would be responsible for construction and
engineering, and he wsnld not start thir-
teen years after the work had been stopped
upon a vessel to make the boilers for her.
If he did, he would deserve to ba court-
martialed.
At this point the cemmittee rose and the
House adjourned.

wiiat bright says.
Mr. Bright has written a letter, in which
he says he deplores " that men supposed
to represent Irishmen and tenants never
speak a word of counsel to their country-
men in behalf of industry, honesty and
temperance,which would lessen Irish evils,
though increase Irish-American donations.
The land act of 1881 gave the most com-
plete security to tho results of industry on
the part of tenants, but their leaders con-
demned legislation so much in their favor
and never advised them to make an honest
use of their new position. Industry will
have no chance while the people are mis-
led by a conspiracy whose main objects are
to plunder landlords and excite bitter
hatred of England.

Sir James Ferguson, parliamentary se-
cretary for foreign office, stated in the

Lord Randolph said he thought
there never was a case found under
microscopic examination more favor-
able to the Irish landlords on the whole.
During the winter the landlords had done
iheir duty in generous ways. He praise 1
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach for the greatuess
of the sacrifices associated with the lalter's
acceptance of the chief secretaryship of
Ireland, and wished him success in
the work he had undertaken. He
said he had never seen much that
he considered alarming in the plan of
campaign. If the juries refused to do their
duty Parliament would grant additional
powers under which those pursuing t'ae
plan of campaign would either voluntarily
or under compulsion abandon their
course. The best way to maintain union was
by sound administration of law. That
neglected, down would go the governmeut,
down the Conservative party, down also
the union. There was too great a tendency
toward maintaining parliamentary alli-
ances which were as transient and
uncertain as shifting winds. [Cheers.]
When he was in the government liis con-
stant thought and desire were to make ;

Unionists, but he frankly admitted that he

to the time, not far distant, when the Con-
servatives would walk along, stroig
in their own strength. Permaneat
preservation of the union must always
depend upon the Conservative party, which
if it wanted warning of the uncertainty of
its position it had only to watch the nego-
tiations of the Radicals. So greatly was
Mr. Chamberlain enamored of these nego-
tiations he was always going further
with them. He hoped the" House would
never follow Chamberlain on the line of
policy tending toward the creation in
Dublin of anything in the nature of
a parliament—that clear and broad posi-
tion which the Tories assumed they
should never depart from. The programme

ample work for the session. Bills to be in-
troduced would be found to include much

Henry M. Stanley telegraphs from Cairo,
Egypt, as follows: Nubar Pacha desires
me to contradict the reports that the Egypt-
ian government is raising difficulties for
the Emin Bey relief expedition. Men and
everything I have asked for will be ready
for departure Monday. Stanley adds
that everything is proceeding satisfactori-
ly. Uniforms for Emin Bey and
bis force are being made, and all hands
are working loyally. He proposes to leave
Cairo on Thursday. Mr. Stanley says the
telegram representing that Emin Bey had
been heard from, and that he was on his
way to the eastern coast of Africa, having
cut his way through Unganda territory,
was nonsense.
canadians elated.
Toronto, January 31.—The Ottawa corre-
spondent of the Mail says: Yesterday the
announcement was made that the imperial
government had consented to send men-of-
war out next season to assist in the protec-
tion of Canadian fisheries. To the people
of the United States doubtless this will be
anything but palatable information, but as
a matter of fact it is simply following the
precedent established before the Washing-
ten treaty came into operation. A promi-
nent official on being questioned as to the
correctness of the report, said:
" I is true that the imperial authorities
have consented to send out one or two
gunboats next spring to assist the marine
police in the enforcement of our fishery
rights. Some time ago, he said, an
understanding was arrived at with the
homo authorities, that the usual assistance
should be given. The reason why aid was
not rendered last season, was due to the
long correspodence which had takon place
between the Canadian government
and England, and to the fact that by the
time the imperial authorities had settled on
their policy tho fishing season had nearly
expired. I pointed out to this gentleman
the special cablegram appearing in the
Mail, m which tho under foreign secretary
bad been made to say that the Canadian
cabinet had made a proposition
which, from the liberality of its
character, is likely to contribute to
a settlement of the dispute. If from this
the inference is to be drawn that the Do-
minion government has receded from the
position it has taken all along as to iis
rights, based on the treaty of 1818, there is
a mistake somewhere. I have it on good
authority that the government still adheres
to the policy it has frequently announced,
and it is reported that no offer of the kind
the cablegram spoke of has been made."

gladstone's article.
London, January 31.—Mr. Gladstone, iu
another article in the February number of
tho Nineteenth Century, contends that
though Ireland formerly gained conces.
sions from England through fear, an at-
tempt by Ireland to repeat her former tac-
tics would be like warring against heaven
now. England's strength as compared to
Ireland's is as ten to one. He would rather
rely, he says, upon England's innate sense
of justice. Mr. Gladstone defonds the
American donations to Ireland, on the
ground that they have done much to stave
off famine. Foreign donations, he says, if
in aid of a bad cause, make a shame worse,
but if it is a good cause, serve to remind us
of our duty. To the assertions that the
granting of home rule to Ireland would be
to hand over the government to the Nation-
alists, Gladstone replies that if national-
ism is to prevail it is unwise to exasperate
it to a spirit #f vengeance.

Ottawa, Ont., January 31.—A circular
has been received from the British admi-
ralty calling upon all marines pensioned
under 55 years of age to hold themselves in
readiness for active service. Only one such
circular has been issued since the Crimean

preparing for an emergency.
Toronto, Ont., January 31.—The present
position of Canada in relation to the fish-
eries is regarded in a much more serious
light by the Canadian and imperial gov-
ernments than by the leading newspapers
and people generally. It has been pretty
well agreed upon by her majesty's repre-
sentatives at Ottawa, so rumor goes, that it
has become necessary to send forces to
Canada without delay, and that several im-
perial regiments will as soon as possible
be brought here by war ships, and that one
or two of the ships will remain at Halifax
to be ready for an emergency.
Catarrh
Is frequently an indication of a Scrofulous
taint in tho system. Ayer's Sarsaparilla
purities the blood, aud thus restores health
to the affected membranes. It also stops
the nauseous catarrhal discharges, and
prevents the infection from reaching the
lungs and stomach. Catarrh should be
treated as a blood disease. j
I suffered for years from chronic
Catarrh. My appetite was very poor, and
I felt miserably. None of the remedies I
took afforded me any relief until I com-
menced using Ayer's Sarsaparilla, of
which I have now taken live bottles.
The catarrh has disappeared, and I am
trowing strong and stout; my appetite
as returned, and my health is fully re-
stored.—Susau L. W. Cook, 1)09 Albany st..
