OPENING OF THE TEXAS PEESS AS-
SOCIATION MEETING.
Welcomed by Mayor Pro Tern Oochran..
President Oopeland's Kesponfle—The
First Day's Proceedings.
Dallas, Tcx., Mny 9.—The fourteenth nn-
nunl convention of t he Texas prow association
wutblod in the auditorium of the city ball
at 11 a. ni.
The meeting was called to order by Presi-
dent Copeland, who introduced Dr. A. M.
Cochran, mayor pro tern, of Dallas, who de-
livered the address of welcome, vice
Mayor Connor, who was unavoid-
ably provonted from discharging
that duty. Dr. Cochran welcomed the
editors in the name of the council and on be-
half of the citizens goncrally and hoped they
would remain over to witness the most im-
portant event in the history of North Texas,
namely: The celebration of the arrival of
the Harvey, the first through boat via tho
Trinity from Galveston, which will occur
within a few days.
In response to tho address of welcome Pres-
ident Copeiand said: "Dallas is a great city
and all Tcxans are proud of her." Ho came
to Texas in infancy and was glad to be a citi-
zen of a state whore the greatest liberty
of thought is tolerated. The larger
cities like Dallas, Houston, Galveston and
San Antonio have been tho nurseries of this
tolerance and liberty. Ho said: "The press is
heartily in accord with the project to navigate
the Trinity, and in fact with every enterprise
looking to tho aggrandizement of the state or
any part of it."
Tho roll was then callod. There are 175
ladies and geatlomen present so far, and
more are coming.
Tho president invited all ex-presidonts in

pointed assistant to Secretary llobison.

of the association, spoke, concluding as fol-
lows :
"While wo aro overpoworod at tho majority
of our empiro state wo must not forgot that
there is still much to be done before the full
development of its resources is reached. Tho
press is a groat unifying agency in our stato,
and I hope to see it muster our people in one
solidarity and brotherhood which will forever
hold the 6tato ono and indivisible."
R. M. Johnson of the Houston Post
thought President Copeland had sprung tho
speaking too soon, seoing that there would be
too much talking dono anyhow before tho end
of the convention. Ho was glad to bo a mem-
ber of tho association, and ho thought it a
very representative body and good looking,
especially the female portion of it.
The secretary read a lottor from Mr. John

gretting that illness in his family provented
him from being present.

dent Copeiatid's compliment to This News, his

Kansas Morfgnge PrivilG(*« Void.
Topeka, Kan., May9.—Judgo Hazon of the dis-
trict court of Shawnee county has rendered an
important docision on tho mortgage redemption
law enactod by tho last legislature. The docision
was in a caso to forocloso a socoud mortgago on
a farm. The dofeniiant hold that uador tho act
in question ho could redoem the property at any
time within eighteen months aftor tho salo by the
shorill.
Judge Hazen hold that this clause of tho act is
unconstitutional. When tho bill was under dis-
cussion in the house the constitutionality of tho
clauBO was raised end its unconstitutionality was
genorally admitted on tho Uoor, but it was insert-
ed for the reason, as Speaker Dunsmoro put it,
that mortgager* might take advantage of it and
go to tho Hupreme court, which in threo yoars be-
hind its docket, and thus delay con Urination of
sheriffs' sales.

fined thus far exclusively to tho business of the
central company, and tho conditions of subsidiary
ilrms and private individuals had not yet. been
taken up. Plans an at present shaped did not
contomplate the absorption or inclusion of any
other cordago manufacturing company. As to
an iflsuo of bonds or assessment of stock nothing
could bo said, nor could the names of the pro-
posed reorganization committee be given out.

edneae the company is responsible for unearned
premiums admitted to aggregate $2(38,WO. The
principal item of assots is #260,000 of outstanding
premiums, but it ip stated not one-fourth of this

Hocauso the action of the court was not justiliod

"Thore is an idea iu tho minds of many that at

"No one had so many reasons, all sentiment or

If tho Next Rfiiohsta" Eefnsos to Pass the
Army Bill Ho Will Carry It Into
EfFoot Nevertheless.
BiiiiuN, Mny 9.—While reviewing troops in
the Held at Ternpelhofer to-day tho Uevuian
ompcror ordoroil tho principal officers of tho
imperial guards to gather around him and
addrcssod thom us follows! "I havo boon
suriously disappointed in tho patriotism of
tho lato roichtag. I hopo the coming reichota:;
will adopt tho military bill, but if tho coming
reichatag should rofuso to adopt it I am de-
termined to carry the bill into otfoot despite
unpatriotic opposition."
Tho speech of tho omporor is causing enor-
mous excitement among the people. It ap-
pears in the North Gorman Universal Gazette
in double loaded prominence.
Thoso who heard the emporor spoak Bay ha
spoko with unusual emphasis, pausing at ovory
word in order to convey a sense of his deter-
mination to abide by his declara-
tions. Thoro is a profound aud wide-
bpread impression that the ornperor would
not hesitato to risk a coutlict with tho new
roiclistag should it prove hostile to tho bill.
The ompcror's concluding words in address-
ing his officers wero: "1 foit the necossity of
telling you candidly my decision, as I told you
my hopes when the bill was first proposod."
The officers who heard tho emperor's words
maintained absolute silence, although evi-
dently in doep sympathy with tho kaiser's
views.
Leading men in Gorman politics who havo
hoard of the emperor's speech now considor
that ho has ombarked on a policy of Prussian
■high toryism, and tho chances of tho freis-
lnnigo party to bring about a moderate liberal
era havo vanished.
Tho speech is this evening the sole topic of
conversation throughout the city. The ten-
dency of publio opinion is toward the convic-
tion that the emperor ia pointing straight for
the goal of tiie Prussian reactionaries find will
not shun a conflict with constitution-
alism. The correspondent of tho associated
press was assured officially this evening, how-
ever, that tho emperor did not wish the spoech
to be read as a monaco to the reichstag or a
challenge to a conflict. "Uu tho contrary,"
said tho informant, "his majesty desires trio
most scrupulous adherence to constitutional
forms. Ho feols strongly, however, the urgent
need of roforming the reiehstag. He can not
govern with a roichstag split into tou
political partios, among whom through
chance or partisan agreements, majorities
are constantly forming against tho govern-
ment on vital issues. His majesty dooa not
wish to rule absolutely. Hois willing to rule
conditionally —even to allow tho parliament-
ary majority a sharo in the government—but
what iniporial cabinet could work with Bobol,
Liebor and Richtor? Not ono of
them has under his control a positive
working majority. Not ono can get
together a majority combination. Few things
would please the emporor better than a con-
solidation of the parliamentary factions into
two or threo larga parties, with whom ho
would bo ablo to reckon in determining on a
policy. Then ho would bo happy to govern
in harmony with a parliamentary majority."
Bismarok's Hamburger Nachriohten pro-
tests against stigmatizing as unpatriotic the
deputies who voted against the army bill. Tho
majority, it says, dilfored from tho govern-
ment only as to tho amount of increase.
Tho Freisinnigo Zeitung, edited by Eugene
Richter, says sinco the timo of Frederick
William IV tho parliament had not before
boen criticised on a parade ground.
Mexican Duol With Kuivefi.
Fhesnilo, Mex., May 9.—A remarkable duo
that resulted in tho death of one of tho princi-
pals and the fatal wounding of tho other was
fought here Saturday. Jacobo Valdez,
a prominent and wealthy young morchant,
and Pllitarco Margro, a rising attorney,
havo boon suitors for tho hand of a woli known
society young lady of this city for soveral
months. The two men had been fast
friends but they met yesterday and

and was carried from the field of battle un-
conscious. His injuries will prove fatal. Tho

Paris, May 9.—Fredorick Coudort of coun-
sel for the United States continued his
argument to-day before the Bohring sea tribu-
nal. Mr. Coudort related tho history of pol
lagic sealing and showed that sinco the adop-

ting a stop to pelagic stealing. In dealing
with tho question of damages advanced by
Great Britaiu, Mr. Coudort said the British
claims, with respeet to a prospective oatch,
wore untenable.

THE WORLD'S FAIE.
A British Journalist on tho Exposition,
tipeftkiog from Experience.
Touonto, Out., Mny 8. —Sir Junius Long, pro-
prietor of tho yhofllold Eritfluml Tulotfrapli, who
vibitoil tho world's fair lust wook with u party of
British journalists iias kwoh Ids opin-
ion of tho prospects of the fair. Ha
said ho considered tho Chicago show
tho tfroatest evor held; the most extensive, the
most costly and architecturally tho most impos.
ing. It was a question of morioy and nnvor be-
fore had bo much monoy bon.i contributed lor
such a purposo. Tho buildings woro much
ahoa>l of tuone at Paris, but ho was iliniippoiatod
at (ho unready ktute of tho ozhibiiioa. Tho
most forward exhibit was tJiat of (Imat Britinn,
and strangely onoiujh, tho most backward ox-
Itibits woro those which Americans themselves
wore making.
In !ii* district in Sheffield all but two manu-
faciuiors had practically boycotted tho Chicago
fair on accouiu of tho McKinley act tirevonting
thom from selling «oods in tho Unitod States, lie
had approved of this action at tho timo thoy
docideii upon it, but ho now thought that it was
a mistake. Many of tho British merchants were
losing tho opportunity of a lifetime for advertis-
ing. If it had not boeu l or the McKinley act
England's exhibit at Chicago would havo boen
the best that couut.ry has . vor made.
Ho did not think tho o hibition of paintings
oqualto that mado at Vienna.
The fair, he said would not ho fulty ready for
visitors for nix weitks. Ho did not think it would
bo a financial success.
Tho Chotnioal Banlc Fullure.
CnrcAGO, 111., May 0.—Sinco tho day President
Cleveland opened tho fair there has boon no day
that the attendance was larger and tho woathor
more propitious for visiting than to-day, From
early morning until lato this aftornoon thousands
crowded through the gates to take a good
look at tho oxhibits already installed
and to see tho workmen unpacking and placing
in position thoso just arrived. So far as the
woathor wasconcorued it was all that could bo
dosirod, the suu coming out strong tlus morning,
takiuK the chill from the tomjperaturo, which had
been tho bane of t ho world's rair l'or somo days.
Among oxh\bitar8 tho failure of tho Chemical
bank was tho pr.ncipal topic of discussion. Mout
of tho foromni-rs had deposited money with tho
bank and their lottors of credit wero honored at
that institution.
As soon as it was gonorally known that tho bank
had closed a largo crowd gathered around the
doors of tho bank and waitod patiently for tho
appoarauce of Cashier Brandon, but tho latter
did not make his appearance, having beeu
callod to headquarters down town to
consult with President Carry and othor
officials of tho bank. In tho meantime strenuous
oil'orts wore mauo to ontor tho bank by deposi-
tors, but tho clerk in charge declined to open the
doors and would givo no idea as to whother or
not tho bank would roopon for business. Consid-
erable excitomout prevailed for a while, but things
qui'itoi down later whon it bocamo noised about
tnat the bank oxpoctod to pay iu full. Somo de-
positors, however, refused to bo comtortod, as a
great many from out of town had no means to ro
plonish their exchoquer at short notice.
Fnir Ofllelals and tlie Chemical Itank.
cincaoo, May 9.—In conversation with an As-
sociated Pross reporter this afternoon President
Higgiubotham of tho world's fair directory do-
niod that tho council of administration had in
any way indorsod tho Chomical national bauk at
tho world's fair grounds. "Our position is just
this," said ho. "Wu havo indorsed tho
bank only in so far as a person might indorso
any national banking institution in tho country.
It whs a legally organized corporation undor the
banking laws of tho Unitod States, aniouablo to
all tho rulos aud regulations of
tho national govornmont controlling tho
curroncy question and we of course beliovod the
bank all right. As far as tho council of adminis-
tration is concerned, it is my personal opinion
that it is not and can not bo hold respon3iblo for
any liabilities arising from tho bank's embarrass-
ment. I am endeavoring to got tho council to-
gothor so that tho matter can bo discussed, and
by to-night we will know just where wo stand."
Prosidont Palmer of tho national commission
ridiculed the story that is boing circulatod to the
otfect that tho commission can in any way bo held
responsiblo. The commission, ho said, had not
only uot indorsed tho bank, but knew nothing
about it. it was entirely out of the commission's
jurindiction.
Tho world's fair dopositors this afternoon Wero
wearing choorful countenances, it being agreod
on ali sides that it will bo paid in full. A small
army of the world's fair guards had depos-
ited thoir earnings in tho branch hero and aro
now with othors cogitating tho situation.

Legislative Incompetency,
Texas Farm and Ranch.
When it is understood that a number of the
moat dreadful diaoases known to man are
derived directly from domestic animals, and
that the correct diagnosis of these dlsdasoa in
animals is exceedingly difficult and only ao-
companicd by any degroo of certainty whon
made by a skilled and educated veterinary
surgeon, thon tho farcical action of our state
legislature in providing that these obscure,
but dangerous, disoases bo diagnosed by "a
oouunittoo of reputable citizens of that vicin-
ity" beoomos apparent. Hydrophobia, tlie
most dreadful disease known to man,
glanders, which is exceedingly lothsomo and
always fatal, aro known to be dorivod solely
from diseased animals. Aud it is now demon-
strated that tuborculosis in man is largely
derived from tho llesh aud milk of cows af-
fected with the disease. This disoase is more
obscuro than the others and yet its diaguosis
is reduced almost to absolute certainty when
attempted by a competent veterinarian. Beof
und milk forms a largo portion of the food of
all civilized nations, and it is of the utmost
importance that thoso articles bo not mado
vehicles of incurable disease. Thov should
givo lifo and energy instead of death. Legis-
lative incompetency has never made a more
ridiculous display of itself than in treating
this subject.

London, May 0.—Tho liouso of commom
rusumod Its uasiion to-diiy a» n cominictuo of
tho whole on tho homo rulo bill. Mr. <i. C. T.
Bartly, oouaorvativo mombor of parliament
for N'oilh IdlinKton, moved to insert the
words "subordinate to parliament" in tho first
cluuas of the bill ao as to uiako the ulause
road, "On and aftor tho appointed day there
shall bo in Ireland a logiulaturo [subordinate
to parliament," eto.
Mr. flladstono Haid tho motion implied dis-
boliof in the assuraneas of the government,
therefore ovorsteppod the bounds of parlia-
mentary rulos.
Mr. llnrtloy nppoalod to the chairman
whether the amendment waa in order.
Tho chairman deeided the words admissi-
ble.
Mr. Gladatono thereupon denouncod tho
amendment tut obviously intended to puss a
slight upon the Irish legislature and implying
distrust ot that legislature on tho part of par-
liament.
lit. Hon. J. O. Gosoheri, ox-ehaiiCollor of
tlie exchequer, aeoufod the government of
practically evading tho question of imperial
control over tho Irish legislature.
Colonel S.'iuntlorson, eonsorvativo, asked
Mr, Gladatono what machinery in the bill en-
abled tho nominal supremacy of tho imperial
pariiamont to bo enforeod.
Aftor considerable dobate the amendmont
was rejected, 192 to 257.
William Hedinond, parnoltito mombor for
East Clare, moved that the Irish legisiativa
aasombiy bo called a parliament instoad of 8
legislature,
Mr. (lladstono opposed the motion on tho
ground that tho paramount assembly oui!ht t,o
boeailed parliament as distingu shed from a
body to which pariiamont delegated certain
powers.

Fine Wool.
Indicator.
Whatever may bo said by wool growers in
othor parts of tho world as to tho ability of
America to produce fin® sheep, it must bo
conceded that tlie soil and olimatc produce
the finest fine wool in the world. As an illus-
tration, iu 1876, at the ccntonnial, the finost
wool that could bo found measured loOO
strands to the inch; in 1802 moriuo sheep, at
the Iowa experiinout station, furnished a sam-
ple measuring 1728 to tho inch. For 100 years
merino wool has beon growing finer and finer,
nnd it is not impossible that a grade ot lino
wool will bo in use boforo the century closes
that will measure 2000 to tho inch. Wo doubt
if there is any part of the world that can pro-
duce a finer wool than tho beat of our mer-
ino*.
