(Houston Pot Special.)
AUSTIN. Teiat June 15. The attn-
don of Commissioner Ed R. Kone of
the Texas department of sericulture hav-
ing bn called to the recent action of
the. executive committee of the Texas
- Farmers' Congress declaring that the
.' railroads would be expected to grant aa
usual a rate of 1 cent per mile each way
to persona attending the congress and
i that the committee believed this would
obtain a more desirable attendance and
CO forth he was asked what effect the
resolution of that committee would have
en free pass arrangements for the Texas
v State Farmers' Institute of which he Is
-president and that has been called to
meet at the Agricultural and Mechanical
i college one day before the assembling of
. the Texas Fanners' Congress.
' He replied: "None whatever. The
two bodies are entirely distinct The ex-
sjcutive committee of the Texas State
: Farmers' Institute met at Austin a short
; time ago and passed a resolution dlrect-
tng me to request passes from the rail's-
roads of the State. This I have done
' and I have reason belter they will
. ' be granted. There la no danger of any
undesirable person obtain lug a pass or
of there being too large an attendance
. on account of free transportation for
. the reason that local Institutes select
' delegates (some of their best and most
representative' men) and the difficulty
i has not been that all of these attend
. 'for the highest measure of success can
;be Host surely attained by the meeting
Attracting progressive live-wire farmers
.from every quarter of the Bute their
jnlnglmg together and exchanging knowl-
edge and each one of them coins; back
to hu borne better equipped to push the
development of Texas agriculture and
- thereby the expansion of the prosperity
tof every other olUsen which the tall-
roads are as much Interested In as the
farmers themselves.

meeting last year and will stride forward
to higher and firmer vantage ground and
wider and more effective usefulness this
year. We expect to make the Texas
State Farmers' institute the most effi-
cient and widely helpful farmers' organi-
xatlon of the sort not only In Texas but
In the I'nlted States and for It In a few
years to be the equal of the oldest and
best In Great Britain and on the conti-
nent of Rurope societies that are the
mainstay of the economic strength of the
countries In which they exist. We ex-
pert to do this too without Injuring any
other agricultural society.
"I called the meeting for one day be-
fore that of the Texas Farmers' con-
gress so that all of our members who
cared to do so might stay over a day or
two longer and have the advantage of
learning all that is to be learned at the
sessions of both bodies.
"If experience shall show that It will
be to the advantage of members that the
two organisations hold their meetings at
more widely separated dates arrange-
ments will be made for It to be so dons
In the future. That will be a matter for
the full membership to determine.
"I wish to state here and now and do
so emphatically and ask the press of the
State to widely advertise it that there
will be full and comfortable accommoda-
tions at the Agricultural and Mechanical
college for every delegate to the Texas
Btate Farmers' Institute and that I want
every one of them to come to the meet-
ing Quarter For All Delegates.
"I feel assured too that there will be
quarters for every member of the Texas
Farmers' Congress of which I am also
a member whose attendance. In my opin-
ion has at no time been anything like
as large as It should be; whose Influence
as an educational force In the State I
have multiplied many hundred fold try
printing Its proceedings each year as a
bulletin of the department ana distribut-
ing tens of thousands of copies of them
to the farmers In Texas and whose rank
and file are my friends and whom I ex-
pect to meet at the sessions and pull
together with for a grander Texas that
will trip blithely up Prosperity's stairs
to the treasure rooms they lead to.
"The lists of delegates to the Texas
State Farmers' Institute will be Bent to
me before' passes are Issued and that
means that none but delegates will get
passes. It occurs to me that It could
have been arranged that none but dele-
gates to the Texas Farmers' Congress
would get passes but I haven't anything
to de with that
"Another thing I wish understood Is
that the issuance of passes to meetings
of farmers' institutes Is expressly au-
thorised by statute the Idea of the law-
makers being that such meetings are
needed for the more rapid development
of Texas agriculture. The granting of
them too while It will show the publlo
spirit liberality and enterprise of th
railroads will not be purely philanthropic
as the business side to them Is that the
larger the attendance each year the
faster their traffic win grow by reason
of Increased produotloo along their lines."

F. E..GIESECKE '
TO 'VARSITY-
Has Been. Chosen to Head
School of Architecture. '
Has Been Professor in A. and M.
: College for Twenty Tears Plan-
' aed VLtdj Inildingt at Col

COLLBOB STATION Texas. June IS
Professor F. S. Olesecke who has Just
been elected full professor of architecture
and head of the school of architecture la
.the University of Tsxas. has been a pro-
fessor In the Agricultural and Mechanical
college for over twenty years and has a
wide 'acquaintance among the architects
colleges and people of the Plate of Texas.
Hs was born In Washington county. Tsx-
as January is ! but soon moved to
New Braunfels where he attended the
public schools and from which place he
went to the Qermaa-Kngltsh school at
San Antonio. He entered the Agricul-
tural and Mechanical collect In ISSi from
which he graduated tn mechanical engi-
neering In 18S. He was appointed to a
position In the Agricultural and lfechaa-
leal college In 18i and not only carried
on his duties as an Instructor but took
a graduate course In mechanical engi-
neering upon which work he received the
degree of mechanical engineer In UN. One
distinctive feature of Professor Olesecke's
life and work Indicate clearly his concep-
tion of a college professor's duties to his
students and to the Institution and that
Is that he has always been a very hard
student and has let no opportunity es-
cape to Improve hltnsel to get the best
method and to equip nlmself fully for
his profession.
Life That of Student
His whole life has been that of a stu-
dent and ha is a most patient but inde
fatigable worker. During the session oN
1M3-1J04 be was on a leave of absence
and spent the year at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology from whloh he
received the degree of bachelor of sci-
ence In architecture In 104. Later dur-
ing the session of ltQf-l0? he was on an-
other leave of absence and spent this
year with his family In Germany study-
ing reinforced concrete heating ventila-
tion and the history or architecture. He
has been In charge of the department of
architectural engineering at the Agricul-
tural and Mechanical college since DOS.
In 1M7 he was made college architect and
since his appointment of college architect
he has furnished from ns office plans and
specifications for snd supervised the con-
struction of the following large buildings
for th Agricultural and Mechanical col-
lege: Experiment station building civil
engineering building Legett hall -(dormitory)
Mllner hall (dormitory ) electrical
engineering building and Harvey Mitchell
hall (dormitory) etc. The total cost of
these building was about $409000. In
addition he has furnished plans and speci-
fications for a mess half to cost about
$100000 and a central heating system to
cost about 130000 tor the portion under
consideration at the present time.
Hss Splendid Indorsements.
Professor Qleseeke goes to the univer-
sity with splendid Indorsements from
prominent men who havehaii intimate
acquaintance with his professional work.
President Uavld F. Houston now of
Washington university who was formerly
president of Agricultural and Mechanical
college says: "For the salary you men-
tioned you could not get a better man."
Dr. George F. 8waln. professor of civil
engineering in the Massachusetts Insti-
tute of Technology ays: "From my
knowledge of him and his experience I
believe you would find him eminently
qualified to fill th poult Ion In your col-
lege to which you re:ev In charge of the
course In architectural engineering. In-
deed. I doubt ff you could find a more
suitable man or one who better deserves
such a recognition considering lie has
been In cdui atlonai worn in ynur own
Btatw. In which he has been entirely suc
cessful."

HAVANA June 14. General Monte-
aguado commander-in-chief .of the gov

today that Eslenoso the rebel leader was
reported to have been killed in an en-
counter with troops under tleneral
Manuel liedra near Bongo. The general
adds that he has no confirmation but
believes the report to be true.
The Cuban government is greatly en-
couraged by the favorable news received
last evening from oriente. The ministers
expect momentarily to hear of the cap-
ture of Ocneral Pedro lvonet. the rebel
leader which would deal the Insurrection
a fatal blow.
President Gomel's son. who has been
preparing to go to the front at the head
of a souarlrnn of volunteer cavalry has
decided nut to leave hore as he considers
It probable that all the fighting will bo
over before he can reach the scene ot
action.
No trouble Is reported from the prov-
ince of Pinar Del Rio where It was
feared a rising might occur today. There
are no disorders either In the other parts
of the Island.
The government attaches great Impor-
tance to the capture of Oregorla Hurtn
the negro leader who although h was
not a fighter was one of the chief organ-
isers of the negro movement."
