GALVESTON, TEXA.S.
Washington, July 21.—[Special]—The
housa Adjourned in & few momenta after it
met this morning on account oi! tbe death
of one of the members, Mr. Walker of M1e-
soy ri.
In tho senate the tariff bill was taken up
and Mr. Voorhees made a speech.
It was intended to cake up the original
package bill in the house to-day aud vote on
it, but tbe adjournment interfered. A Tote
will be taken on It to-morrow- A substi-
tute in the nature of a compromise whereby
original packages can be sold in all
states, but defining what is an
original package, will be offered. The
definition is that an txiginal package
is not less than a dozen bottles, and contain,
ing net less than five arallons of liquids. It
is hardly probable that this kind of hypoc-
risy will go through. The substitute pre-,
tends to assist the prohibition states in pre-
venting the retail of cigars within their ter-
ritory, and yet protects those who intro-
duce Iho liquors in these states when the
quautity exceeds five gallons. There are
some of the lawmakers who believe that the
bill as it came from tbe committee vlll be
defeated.. They may be ritrht, but the
chances are largely in favor of Its passage
to-night.
the lodge dill.
The committee appointed by the sen-
atorial republican caucus to look over the
Lodge bill and to make a report to It was in
session to-day. It is reported that Ingails
made a speech before the committee in op-
position to tbe measure, but this report can
not be relied on. Still some of the repub-
lican senators are very lukowarm. It was
reported that Senator Paddock had stated
that he would not vote for tho bill. He
contradicts this and says while he
does not like the bill he never has
declared that he would not vote for It. The
lukewarmness of some of the republican
senators suggests the idua that they may
protest against the Lodge bill and thus
secure a substitute. This would have to
come back to the bouse and then it would
would be too late to get through.
A Georgia journal is out in an editorial
advising a general boycot by tho south
against the north if this bill should pass.
The southern congressmen think the idea
ridiculous as far as its practicability Is con-
cerned, and exceedingly ill-timed, as tbe
threat will not do* the opposition to tbe
measure any good.
THE TARIFF BILL.
The tariff bill will now be discussed in
the senate for a week in general debate. It
is possible the first time a rest is wanted by
the senate the bill will be laid aside and the
river and havbor bill taken up.
texas buildings.
The sundry civil bill, which passed the
senate on Saturday, contained an appro-
priation of about $00,000 for the Fort Worth
public building and 130,000 for the l'aris
public building. It is customary generally
to make in the civil sundry bill an Appro-
priation for sucil purposes as this of one-
third of tho whole amount required to com-
plete a public building. This is the rule
when it is too late to get the Appropriations
on other appropriation bills.
President Harrison is said to deny that
ho knew anything about the transaction of
his wife and other female members of his
family in Washington mhurbau real estate-
When It is remembored that Mrs. Harrison
invested about $20,000 and the other mem-
bers about $10,000 more, the matter begins
to look badly, and there are those who are
free to say that tho property was either a
gift, or nearly so, from the real estate
boomers.

anti by the representatives of the highest
aristocracy of England and totheweiding
presents of fabulous price showered upon
the hero of tho dark continent and his bride.
An American protected manufacturer, he
said was there and bestowed upon tho bride
a giftricner and rarer and far more costly
than any that could be afforded by thequoen
of Knglund or tho king of the Belgians.
It was Camegie.he said, and his gift was an
uncut diamond ofsuch size and quality that
neither the richest of the crown jewels of
I'.ngiund nor the moonstone of India could
surpass it in value, and how, he asked,
came this American kiug of steel and iron
to bavo a diamond beyond the :-caeh of tbe
other kings of tho world and to be able to
give it away? The farmersof the United
btates had paid for that diamond ten thou-
sand times over in the last twenty years by
Paying an average duty of over 38 per cert
on every article of iron and steol that they
usml and by paying increased rates of rail-
road freight made necessary by the high du-
nes on steel and iron rails and rolling stock,
rortho farmer, at least, paid for this. If
the pending bill became a law they would
have »n increase of duty to pay on iron and
steel rails from 88.24 per cent to 51.75 per
cent.
Mr. Voorbeos passed on to the dis.
cusslon of the proposed iucreose of 120
per cent on the tin plate iu order to
protect an infant industry as yet unborn,
and in order to give employment to 34.000
workmen now idle. It would be far cheap-
er, lie said, for tho country to pay 24,000 idle
men their average wages than to tax every
square of tin roof, every dinner (Mil, teapot
and milk can simply to build up half a
ao2.>u millionaires aud to enablo them to
give coaching parties to protective
leaders and to found libraries from
the savings of n 15 pe" cent reduction
of the wagos of their workmen. Tin plate,
ne said, had the first right to be on tbe free
list, and be would at tbe proper time move
to nut it there. The doctrine of a high pro-
tective tariff was here, he said, carried to
its full limit, aud displayed without fur-,
ther attempt to diguise all its frlghfnl
capabilities for evil. It might well exclaim
with tho false prophet of Khorassan when
he unvailed his hideous face to his ignorant
worshipers, "Here judgo if hell, with all its
powers to damn, can add one curse to tho
viie thing I am."
At the close of the speech Mr. Oockrell
offered resolutions, which were agreed to,
expressing the senate's regret at the an-
nouncement of tne death of Jtepresentative
Walker of Missouri and for tbe appoint-
ment of a coiiim ttee of tbree Benators to
attend the funeral. Messrs. Vest, Plumb
and Berry were appointed, and the senate
as a further mark of respect adjourned.
HOUSE.
On motion of Mr. Dockery of Missouri by
unanimous consent it was ordered that the
vote on the original package bill shall be
taken to-morrow aud the voto on the
bankruptcy bill Thursday morning. Mr.
Dockery then said:
Mr. Speaker: "It has been but a little less
than twelve months sinoc standing at this

eminent Mlssourlan, lion. Jas. H. Burns.
To-day the melancholy duty devolves upon
me of announcing to the house tho death of
another colleague. Tbe griui summons came
unheralded to my friend, Hon. James P.
Wi-liter, at his home ih Iloxter, Mo., la»t
Si.'.uhlay evening. His death resulted from
congestion of the brain." Resolutions were
then unanimously adopted expressing the
sorrow of which tbe bouse had heard of the
death of Mr. Walker, aud providing for the
Appointment of a committee of seven mem-
bers oi tho house aud three members from
the senate to take order for tho funeral
ceremonies. Tho speaker appointed tho
following gentlemen as members of the
comiuitteo on the part of the house; Dock-
ery, Frank, Crisp, Morrill, McMillan, Paller

The house then, ns a mark of respect to

WAsniNGTON, July 21.—On motion of
Mr. Hoar the select committee on relations
with Canada was authorized to continue its
investigations during tbe coming recess
and next session. Mr. Dawes moved to the
consideration of tbe Indian appropriation
bill. Mr. Gray asked blm to yield and per-
mit the bl\l to transfer tbe revenue marine
to the naval establishment to be taken up
in tbe morning hour after debate. This was
agreed to and tbe senate then proceeded to
the consideration of tbe bouse bill. Tbe
bill having been read the date for tbe ap-
pointment ot revenue marine officers to be
officers of the navv was fixed for January 1
IfeWl.
Mr. Sherman addressed the senate. They
bad only asked as a measure of justice that
their pay should be the same as tnat of
naval officers of corresponding rank and
that they should have the right to retiring
pay. The yeung officers of the navy were
also in favor of tbe bill, as it would give
them better chances for promotion. They
thought that it wonld give them pleasant
employment around tbe cities, whare tboy
couid dance with the girls and could have
fun and a good time. As one of them had
recently expressed it, "What a delightful
thing It would be to be captain of a revenue
cutter." But was that, Mr. Snerman
asked, the duty .or which they were edu-
cated by the government? Not at ali, he
said. Tb.ir duty as officers of the navy was
not to run the revenue marine, not to catch
smugglers, but to fight enemies of tbe coun-
try, to be skilled in warfare, in ginnery and
in seamanship.
Mr. Spooner replied to Mr. Sheiman's ar-
gument and advocated the bill.
Mr. Allison opposed tbe bill.
Tbe bill was still beiDg discussed when at
2 o'clock it was laid aside without action
and the unfinished business, tbe tariff bill,
was taken up for consideration.

Ne w York, July 31.-[Speciall-A City of
Mexico special says: The long threatened
war has broken out between Guatemala
and Salvador. According to official advices
received from tho new confidential agent of
the provincial government of San Salvador
Senor Geronimo Pou, Tvho arrived here last
night from San Salvador, It began without
the usual formalities of a declaration of
war, and for his country Souor Pou claims
the first, victory.
"Before I left Sr.n Salvador," said Senor
Pou, "war was threatened with Guatemala,
and that it has come as soon as it has should
not be a surprise to any one who under-
stands the political situation of the two
epublics. San Salvador has stood upon
the defensive. Guatemala baa chosen to
interfere in our domestic politics by trying
to put into power a president not our freo
choice. We sont forces to tbe frontier to
repel any attempted Invasion of San Salva-
dor, and It appears by my telegrams that
they wero needed there. On the 5th Instant
we had 9000 well equipped men along tbe
Rio Paz, but I believe there are nowfullv
lfi.OOO men along the frontier. I understand
that the Guatemala forces number 30,000."
Senor Pou has telegrams from Ezeta
which in substance are as follows:
"In tiir Field, July 17. —The Guatemalan
forces under command of General Villavi-
cencio, invaded Salvador and territory near
Elcoro to-day and were repulsed by ua."
July 18.-The enemy, 0030 strong, yes-
terday invaded S:m Salvador. Our forces
bravely repulsed tbeui, causing their com-
plete route. Many pieces of artillery, Iurgo
quantities of ammunition and hundreds of
stacks of arms wore captured by us. I have
given orders to advance into Guatemala."
Senor Pou says that General V'allavicen-
cio was born in San Salva-
dor, but his services have
been purchased by Gun'emala for
$20,000, The Salvadoran army is armed
with Kemington rifles, machine guns and
mountain batteries aud is geueru'.ly well
equipped, with plenty of money. The Sal-
vadoran forces are Inferior in numbers to
those of Guatemala, but Senor Pou says
that he has received advices that disaffec-
tion has occurrod in the army of Gauto-
mala. Two battalions have rofused to pro
ceed to the frontier, which he thinks will
have tbe effect of equalizing matters.
General Kxeta is comtnauding the move-
ments of tbe Sal vadoran forces. Tbey had
arrived at Saa Salvador before Senor Pou
set out. Senor Pou says that in the present
war between tbe two countries Nicaragua
and Costa Hica will become the allies of
San Salvador, from the lact that should
San Salvador be worsted it would be an-
nexed to Gmtemala and both the countries
abo re named would be St the mercy of the
conaueror.
Senor Pou received yesterday a telegram
from General Kzeta, stating that an alliance
has been formed between Guatemala and
Honduras, and that they had declared war
igainst San Salvador. General Ezeta wires
that he has invaded Guatemala and is
marching toward the Guatemalan capital,
opening everywhere a victorious road to It,
Senor Pou, re/orring to tho telegram sea'
by President Diaz in reply to one from Gen-
eral Ezeta, asking the recognition of his
government, says that President Diaz's
message w:is printed as it was received and
was not altered. It was thoroughly under-
stood throughout Salvador, before M. Pou
left, that President Diaz wag willing to
recognize General ISzetii's government if it
v/as the will of tho people of that country.
"If the telegram had been altered to read
as claimed," said Senor Pou, "I would not
have come here as the confidential agent
but as tbe fully accredited minister from
Salvador. The telegram has been doctored
somewhere else than In Salvador."
There Is no mistake that Senor Pou is ex-
cited over the news cf the alliance between
Honduras and Guatemala, but he says that
General Ezeta is prepared to meet any
nergeiiey, the cablo relations between
Nicaragua) and Costa Rica being assured
against Gualemala and her ally.
Tho latest wire news received by the Gua-
temala legation is that General Barrillos
received Id public audionie Senors Castro
Kud Laris, ministers from Costa IJica and
Nicaragua.
In relation to the peace of Central Amer-
ica General Barrillos in leuly to Dr. Castro
said: "My government "has pronounced
ever since I came in to power the word peace,
it continues to pronounce it still because
peace is tbe first necessity of a people.
Nevertheless this peace ought to bo doco-
rou3 and noble anil under tlie present cir-
cumstances even more, it should be stable
throughout all Central America.
Minister Deguez of Guatemala doubts the
authenticity of the report of a battle be-
tween the troaps of Guatemala and San Sal-
vador. He says that the only dispatches
received are from points in Ssn Salvador
where It is known that the press censorship
is in force. "I have asked my government,"
said Minister Diguez, "what truth there is
in the published report here, but being Sun-
day 1 have not received any reply. Probably
I shall to-morrow. Our forces are well
armed witii Uemington rifles, Gatlin.; guns
nnd mo mi tain batteries, And if San Salvador
has 10,000 men in the lieid wo have nearly
double that number. While it is true that
wo have not a big fund in tbe irecsury,
everybody In the country will corte to the
front with money in case there be war." 1)
It is the general opinion here that in case
there be war between Guatemala and San
Salvador the first named country will be
victorious owing to its superior forces
Minister Diguez emphatically denies that
there has been any dissatisfaction it the
army of Guatemala. To morrow will be-
yond question develop the exact condition
of affairs iu Central America, as by tbe
treaty between Mexico and Guatemala each
government may use any lines belonging to
either country for official business free of
charge.

A BRUTAL AFFAIR.
to
A Hard Working Colored Man Called
the Door and Cowardly Shot Down.
Pahis, Tex., July 21.—Parties who came
in here to-day briug information of what
doubtless will prove to bo a most brutal aud
cowardly assassination which took place
Saturday morning about twenty miles
southwest of here, in Hod Hiver county.
It seems about 2 o'clock in the morning a
party supposed to contain six or seven men
went to the house of Andy Young, a hard
working negro living on tho farm of Nathan
Grant, called him up and when he came to
door a volley from Winchesters, shot-
the
guns and pistols was fired into hitn.e It is
thought about twentv-live shots were iired
in all, and everyone took effect. Two win**
Chester balls went through his head in
front of his ears, one cutting his tongue in
tvyo. IIis body, legs and arms were filled
with bullets, yut, -itrange to say, he was
<alive last night aud conscious, but it was
not regarded possible that he could live.
It is thought he knows who shot him, but
on acccuut of his tongue being cut out eau
not rell. There weie a number of sheila
picked up in tho yard and it is thought the
officers have a clew. No reason is known
for the shooting except that the uegro had
a difficulty witli some white boys. He was
a very resolute but not a quarrelsome man.
The affair is greatly deplored.
FORT WORTH.
The Iiifant Industry Needs Protection—
Tbe Mayornltr Contest,
FonT Worth, Tex, July 21.—Sunday
afternoon the body of an infant a
few hour3 old was found iu a paper
b^x in the Trinity river. To-day the body
of an infant was found in tho same stream.
Tbe last was incased in a sort of cloth sack.
Both of the dead children were boys. The
usual legal investigation has been held, but
that is all that is known ^bout the cases.
The latest move iu the mayoralty race Is
made by the friends of Colonel J. R. Hoxie,
the six times millionaire. They say he is
tho foremost man of Fort Worth, and should
bo mayor for the good ho will do tho city.
The friends of Mr Bailey aro working hard
and express confidence in his nomination
and election.
Nothing has boon heard from W. S.
Pendleton, the ex-mayor, and tho sensatioq
has about run its coime. It is believed by
his brother and others that he has gone to
Chicago to get at the bottom facts of tho
divorce and to ascertain, if possible,
has defrauded him iu palming oil a forged
decree and taking his f&M).

the Evening Times from Middlcborough,
Ivy,, says: The famous and much talko 1 of
option of the Jas. S. Churchill s/ndicate for
the purchase of tho Pino Mountain Coal
and Iron company of Pinevllle matures to-
day, and the option will bo allowed to ex-
pire without being closed or accepted It is
understood that Churchill represented tho
American association (limited», which pos-
sesses a quantity of coal and iron lands ia
southwestern Kentucky, and the stockhold-
ers of which are principally F.nglishmen.
The Piueville company's plant was offered
to Churchiil for $1,S90,0i)0. It is very prob-
eble that negotiations will bo again open 1
up. 'The Kast Tenuessee and Virginia and
Georgia people are also said to bu after tlu
Pineville propel ty.
Poisoned bv Gas.
Dallas, Tex., July 21.—A man named

well digger, descended into a well at W. J.
Bettertou's place at Oak CIIfT for the pur-
pose of cleaning it out and otherwise ra-

would be daugorous to go down ia

sumably from tho effects of foul air, and he
expired soon after. He leaves a wifo and

ing of the stockholders of the St Louis and
San Francesco railroad was held here to-daj
for the purpose of authorizing an increase of
$10,000,000 of common stock. A majority of

Frisco to the Atchison. It is not contem*
plated to issue any cf this stock at present,

tion to increase its bonded dent wh»*n it
may be desirable in the compauy's interest
