GENERAL FOREIGN TOPICS-
ARCHBISHOP CHOKE'S EXPLANATION.
Glorifying the Executed Bulgarian Rebsls —
Newfoundland Excited-Jacobini's Suc-
cessor—Other Cable Notes.
London, March 8.—The Moscow Gazette
glorifies the memory of the executed Bul-
garian rebels and says: " They were mas-
Eacred for protesting like men against the
unhappy and ignominious state of their
country, against its oppressors and betray-
ers. Their horrible death brings forth
events and will set history in motion." The
Gazette expresses indignation at the
powers which " secretly approved the exe-
cution of the rebels," and concludes: " We
shall not forget that these men were vic-
tims of their devotion to ltussia."
ENGLAND.

f London, March 8.—A rumor is current that
the appointment of Balfour to the Irish
chief secretaryship is only temporary, and
that otter cabinet changes are meditated.
the nicaraguan 6anal.
The Nicaraguan representative here has
eent a letter to the Times, in which he says:
The presidont of Nicaragua has ordered me
to deny the existence of a treaty with the
United States, stipulating that that country
would control the Nicaraguan canal, re-
cently mentioned in connection with the
formation of a company to build a caual.
The treaty alluded to is doubtless that of
If-M, which lapsed because of the failure of
the United States to ratify it. My govern-
ment. in granting any concession, will not
omit any means to secure the strictest neu-
trality tor the canal.
a dishonorable foreman.
The naval authorities dismissed the fore-
man of the construction department in the
navy-yard at Chatham. He is charged
with giving foreigners details of modern
improvements in torpedoes and other naval
devices adopted by the British government.
Suspicion was excited against the accused
by the fact that certain foreign scientific
journals printed articles commenting on
innovations in the English navy, anjfcgave
information concerning them supposed to
be in exclusive possession of the admi-
ralty, and especially by the fact that an
American journal printed the exact word-
ing of a confidential specification for the
manufacture of u new torpedo appliance
still in the draughtsman's office pending
approval.

A draftsman named Terry, employed at
the Chatham dockyard, has been publicly

salisbury's speech.
The Times says of the speech delivered
by Salisbury Saturday: Nothing could be
more energetic and emphatic, if we could
be quite sure his words could be translated
into deeds, there can be no room for doubt
as to the result.
The Standard says it is glad to find that
Salisbury has decided that the government
must immediately address themselves to
the urgent and all-important task.

IRELAND.
archbishop choke's explanation.
Dublin, March 8.—Archbishop Croke has
written to the papsrs in explanation of his
attitude on the rent question. He says he
has proposed nothing, nor has he made any
recommendation relative to taxes. He
simply expressed the open opinion concern-
ing the relative value of a no-tax manifesto
and a no-rent manifesto. He stated that it
was never intended for him to head or to
recommed a general uprising against the
payment of taxes. He would trust alone to
constitutional agitation for the restoration
of national rights for Ireland. Under ex-
isting circumstances, only a knave or a fool,
he declares, would trust otherwise. It is
believed the action of Archbishop Croke, in
offering this explanation, is the result of
pressure from the pope.
CABLE FLASHES.
general mention.
Paws, March 8.—More slight earthquake

Bucharest, March 8.—Among the insur-
gents in Bulgaria was M. Dimitrieff, corre-
spondent of the Moscow Viedomost.

troops at Rustchuk and who was serious-
ly wounded in the fight with loyalists, was

ander and was commander at Widdin dur-
ing the Servo-Buigariau war.
Vienna, March 8.—No protest has yet
been made by Russia concerning the exe-
cution in Bulgaria of officials provided with
Russian passports. In official circles h6re
it is believed Russia will not depart from
the policy of inaction which she has hither-
to pursued.
Emperor Francis Joseph, conversing
with members of ihe Hungarian Diet, said
he had every confidence that peace would
be maintained.
Madrid, March 8.—General Castillo has
resigned the office of minister of war, and
will De succeeded by General Cassala.
THE DOMINION.
ablaze with excitement.
Ottawa, Ont., March 8.—Further ad-
yices from Newfoundland state that the
colony is ablaze with excitement over the
British government disallowing the bait
bill, and that indignation meetings are be-
ing held everywhere to protest against it.
The local government has become alarmed
at the serious outlook, and in view of the
disaffection that is rapidly spreading and
the disloyal sentiments which prevail, it is
understood that two British war ship3 will
be immediately sent there to maintain
peace in the event of an uprising, which
seems almost inevitable. Annexation and
secession are openly advocated and des-
perate efforts will be made to secure one or
tbc| other if the British government per-
sists in disallowing the bait bill. Military
circles in Halifax, the garrison of all the
British troops in North America, are some-
what excited over reports that British regi-
ments from that station will be immediate-
ly dispatched to Newfoundland the minute
there is any trouble.
SHOT FKOM BEHIND,
A Cowardly Assassination in the Woods near
DeKalb, Bowie County.
DeKalb, Bowie County, Tex., March 8.—
At 2 o'clock this evening a man on horse-
back came tearing into town and reported
that a man had been shot and killed about
eight miles northwest of DeKalb. Imme-
diately Justice Proctor, in company
with a large posse left for the
scene of blooodshed. After a ride of
two hours through the woods the place
was reached, which was a small cabin in
the woods, which had been lately occupied
by tiemakers. On the ground just back of
the cabin the dead man, whose name was
G. W. Woods, was found shot through the
body, in the thigh and in the hand. It ap-
pears that G. W. Woods had bought the
cabin, and was moving it to another tract
of land to live in while making ties, and
while taking down the house he was shot
from behind. A jury of inquest rendered a
verdict that Woods came to his death from
gunshot wounds at the hand of B F. Blocker
and a man named Pittman, and warrants
were issued for their arrest.
Hempstead.
Hempstead, Tex., March 8.— Several
members of the board of university regents
reached here from Austin on the early
morning train, and proceeded in hacks to
Prairie View Normal institute, six miles
east of town. They are on a tour of official
inspection.
The criminal docket of the District Court
will be taken up to morrow. The grand
jury is hard at work, aud will complete
their labors as soon as possible.

TRAIN AND TRACK.
The Projected Road Between Dallas aud San
Ar.tonio—Rechartering of the Wabish
—Southwestern Pool.
Dallas, Tex., March 8.—The citizons
along the line are working up a boom for a
railroad from Dallas to San Antonio, or
rather an extension or prolongation of the
projected Dallas and Waco road from
Hillsboro to a connection with the Interna-
tional and Great Northern at San Antouio.
The proposed road would run through the
counties of Dallas, Ellis, Hill, Bosque, tlie
northwest corner of Coryell, Lampa-
sas, Burnet, Blanco, Comal, and
Bexar, and through the import-
ant towns of Hillsboro, Gatesville,
Lampasas and Burnet. The citizens of the
towns mentioned have held meetings aud
made up a considerable subsidy, and guar-
antee the light of way through their re-
spective counties and depot grounds in
their respective towns, which bonus they
are ready to turn over to the Missouri-Pa-
cific railroad if that company will give
them a line of the road. A committee from
each of the towns beyond Hillsboro arrived
in the city Monday night to confer with the
Dallas railroad committee with a view
of getting things in shape to make
a proposition to the Missouri-Pa-
cific company. The Gatesville com-
mittee is composed of F. M. Gardner,
E. A. McDowell, R. Potts and Dr. W. E.
Brown. Henry Exall represented Lampasas,
and A. R. Johnson was authorized to speak
for Burnet. The distance from Dallas 11
San Antonio by this route is less than 253
miles, sixty miles nearer than by auy exist-
ing route, and most of the distance through
an, as yet, unoccupied country. From Dal-
las to Gatesville the route runs through a
fertile, thickly settled and well-tilled ajri
cultural region, which would give a road a
paying local business. The next station
beyond Gatesville, the terminus of
the Bt. Louis, Arkansas and Tex-
as, or the cotton - belt route,
is the health and pleasure resort, the Sara-
toga of Texas, the famous Lampasas
springs. Beyond Lampasas Burnet loams
up with her mountains of the finest kind of
building stone—something badly need in
Dallas and other growing cities—which this
road would give direct connection with the
quarries. Passing Burnet, the road would
penetrate the oattle, horse and sheep rais-
ing districts of the southwest, and at San
Antonio make connection for Aransas
Pass, Corpus Christi and points in the laud
of the Montezumas. In short, the projected
road, as figured out by the people
on the route, would be a paying in-
stitution, both on the long and on the
short haul, both as a local and a trunk line.
The people badly need such a road in their
business, and tney think the territory so
tempting that if the Missouri-Pacific peo-
ple do not occupy it some other railway
company will. The visiting committee and
the Dallas committee held a meeting at the
Merchants exchange to day. The visitors
stated that Lampasas could be relied upon
for a subsidy of $35,000, Gatesville for
$20,000 and Burnet for $25,000. In
addition to this each of the towns
would guarantee the right of way through
the counties in which they are located and
depot grounds. They say that they were
not authorized to speak for the country be-
yond Burnet, as it bad not been canvassed
to any extent, but they were reliably in-
formed that two or three $25,000 bonuses
and all the right of way and depot grounds
would be furnished by the people of that
section. This, with what Dallas, Hillsboro
and Waxahachie will give, it is estimated
would amount to the right of way and $1000
per mile the entire distance.
fixing rates.
Chicago, 111., March 8.—At a meetiug of
the managers of the transcontinental roads
to-day, the committee on Pacific coast dif-
ferentials recommend that St. Louis rates
be fixed at 90 per cent, of Chicago rates,
which was adopted. The committee on dif-
ferentials between El Paso and the Missouri
river could not agree, and the managers
could reach no conclusion. The Southern
Pacific and Atchison will be left to fight
it out under the new law without previous
agreement.
pulled out of the pool.
Chicago, 111., March 8.—The Illinois Cen-
tral Railroad company gave notice to-day
of withdrawal from all pools. Thi3 action
affects all the western, southwestern and
northwestern pools, and is supposed to
mean the hurried collapse of all these com-
binations, and that the roads will be com-
pelled to take independent action in refer-
ence to the observance of the interstate
railway law.
defeated the bill.
St. Louis, Mo.,March8.—Thelowerhouse
of the legislature, at Jefferson City, this
afternoon defeated, by a vote of 68 to 02,
the railroad bill which yesterday passed
the Senate. The object of the bill was to
regulate the operations of railroads within
the boundaries of the state; and provided
that all rates should be published and post-
ed in conspicuous places; that they should
be permanent and that no rebates should
be allowed to shippers.
wabash reincorporated.
St. Louis, Mo., March 8.—Articles of re-
incorporation of the Wabash railroad, un-

Sulphur Springs, March 8.—S. J. Wright
of Paris, vice-president of the Paris and
Great Northern railway, spent several
hours in town to-day, conferring with the
railroad committee, with a view of extend-
ing his road south from Paris. We feel
sanguine that we will get this road in the
near future. Our people are wholly alive
to their railroad interests and will submit
Captain Wright a proposition soon to try
and induce the building of this road. If we
get the road we will have the Gould system,
the Fordyce system and direct connection,
by the Paris and Great Northern, with the
'Frisco system.

New York, March 8.—The session of the
National Base-ball league was finished this
evening. The St. Louis club accepted an
offer of $12,000 for its franchise and the In-
dianapolis club was then formally admit-
ted. The players over whom there has
been so much discussion will all go to the
new ciub, and Indianapolis can not sell
them to any other club for one year. The
league offered Kansas City $0000 for its
franchise and players. The Kansas City

nouncement of the failures of R. A. & J.
Stewart and of Guy Bevan & Co., of this

A cotton failure.
St. Louis, Mo., March 8.—The firm of
Humphrey, Blake & Co.,cotton commission

They expect to make a satisfactory settle-
ment with their creditors and continue
business. Their failure is stated to have
been due to depreciation in securities held
by them.

buildings have been purchased at the city of
Austin, Tex., for the purpose of establishing a
Home for all disabled Confederate Soldiers,
where they may pass their declining years re-
tired from life's battles, free from the cares of

To effect tlin worthy purpose, and that it
may be placed within the easy reach of all

sion to one of the concerts, and in addition a
distribution of presents will be made by a
committee selected for that purpose amongst
all holders of concert tickets. This distribu-
tion will not be made by means of auy draw-
ing of numbers or other modes of chance, but
on a basis of relative generosity and aid given
by localities and individuals, so that the most
generous contributors will be the most liber-
ally rewarded.
The articles to be distributed will consist of
donations front generous sympathizers. Lists
of contributors and contributions will be pub-
lished as they are received.
Following its humane precedents the Louisi-
ana State Lottery company lias made the, geu-
erous cash offer of the handsome sum of $5000
to the proposed home. To the holder of every
ticket to the GIFT CONCERT ut Dallas there
will bo given a tenth-ticket In the drawing of

Tired all the Time
"I had no appetite or strength, and felt
tired all the time. I attributed my condition
to scrofulous humor. I had tried several
kinds of medicine without benefit. But as
soon as I had taken half a bottle of Hood's
Sarsaparilla, my appetite was restored, and
my stomach felt better. I liavo now taken
nearly three bottles, and I never was so well."
Mrs. Jessi3 F. Dolheark, Pascoag, R. I.
I Mrs. C. W. Marriott, Lowell, Mass., was
completely cured of sick headache, which she
had 10 years, by Hood's Sarsaparilla.
Everybody needs and should take a good
spring medicine, for two reasons:
1st, Tlie body Is now more susceptible to
benefit Irom medicine than at any other season.
2d, The Impurities which have accumulated
In the blood should bo expelled, and the sys-
tem given tone and strength, before the pros-
trating effects of warm weather are felt.
Hood's Sarsaparilla is the best spring medi-
cine. A single trial will convince you of it»
superiority. Take it before it is too lato.
The Best Spring Medicine
"I tako Hood's Sarsaparilla for a spring
medicine, and I find it just tho thing. It tones
up my system and makes mc feel like a differ-
ent man. My wife takes it for dyspepsia, and
sho derives great benefit from it. She say3 it
is the best medicine sho ever took." P. C.
Turner, Hook & Ladder No. 1, Boston, Mass.
"Last spring I was troubled with boils,
caused by my blood being out of order. Two
bottles of Hood's SarsapaiiHa cured me. I
can recommend it to all troubled with affec«
tions of tho blood." J. Schocii, Peoria, 111.

ties having lost cattle would do well to come

that they have been stolen from adjoining

cattle in this county have been driven out of
