Waco, Texas. October 23.—It Is
said that If those, who this early, are
trying to manufacture Issues over
which to get up a warm light during
next years* campaign will look afpund
them a little they will discover that
the people at large are. without thjBlr
assistance, setting upon the question
which Is to receive the most attention
during the approaching contest for fhe
democratic nominations for Senate
officers and that that question Is the
one of railroad rate regulation.
Evidences of this may be found in
every direction.
No matter what the original subject
of m conversation may he these days
If. In Its course. It happens to reach
public matters It Inevitably drifts
Into a dscusslon of the rate situation,
rarely leading to any conclusion than
that a change in the prevailing method
of arranging freight tariffs Is Imper-
ative.
Another Indication of the popular
feeling In this matter may be discover-
ed In the frequency with which cor-
respondents In nil stations f* /Ife are
giving expression thereto In both the
rlty and country papers Men of the
caliber of ex-Attorney General Crane
and Judge N \V Finley, on the one
hand, nml plain farmers and country
merchants on Ihe other, are united In
the opinion, and freely saying so that
something must la* done to remove
the growing impression that the rail-
roads arc' the chief beneficiaries of
existing tariffs, and that some man
must l>e elected rnllrond commissioner
next time who will recognize this and
net accordingly Thnt much being es-
tablished It Is plain that more Interest
will center nround the railroad com-
mlaslonershlp next year than any other
Htate office nnd that such candidates
ns aspire to succeed Judge Reagan will
have to show good cause for hoping
for Ills sent. V
In other words, whoever seeks n
place on the commission must first
demonstrate that he knows enough of
the duties of n commissioner to Justify
hU election nnd. above all. auhmit a
clear and logleul plan of rate making
for public consideration and digestion
to win. It being understood, of course,
that said plan shall operate to the
actual relief of home enterprises In
competition with Invaders of their
markets from the outside.

Chicago. Oct.. 23.—Mayor Harrison
has submitted to the city council a
message in which he urgea that tbs
committee on license prepare an ordi-
nance forbidding the establishment
and maintenance of wiuerooms or pri-
vate apartments in any shop within
the limits of Chicago.
‘‘Public morals suffer damage from
the winroome more than from any
other cause," says the mayor. “It Is
not necessary to particularize the
evils resulting from their toleration;
ihe morals are selfevldent and Arm
steps should be taken to uproot them.
The passage of an ordinance of this
character, while working no hardship
to any reputable saloonkee/per. will
unquestionably bring about salutury
results of the most fur-reaching char-
acter."
It Is stated that the committee will
report such an ordinance as the mayor
suggests. The passage of the measure
would work n radical change lu the
regulation of the city's suloonu.

Pearl was hanged yesterday for the
murder of Ed Tusker. Just before his
soul was launched Into eternity he
called upon those present to witness
that he "died game." Before his ex-

Hew York, Oct. 23.—The Vienna
correspondent of the Ixmdon Times
and the Hew York Times quotes the
Pester Lloyd, which says it learns
from The Hegus that Mr. Kruger■ Br.
Leyds and Messrs. Wees lie. Wolma-
rans and Fischer have held a council
of war at Vllta Caralsasa to consider
what answer, is to be made by the
Boers to the executions in South Afri-
ca. There is said to be no doubt
among the Boer leaders that diplo-
matic protests are inadfj^uate. All
present at the meeting, except Mr.
Kruger, says the report advised imme-
diate reprisals—that for every Boer
prisioner executed a captured Bhitish
officer be shot. Mr. Kruger opposed
this plau on the ground that be did
not wish to give the campaign the
cbaracted of a war between savages,
although It hud already become a war
of extermination.

Waco. Texas. October 22.—In a des-
perate duel yesterday afternoon soon
after, 1 o’clock. William Harris, ex-
sheriff of the county, and bia son, Wil-
liam Harris, were killed by Dr. J. T.
Lovelace and hfa step-son, Z. T. Rey-
nolds.- .
The tragedy took place in the Turf
saloon on Austin street, and twelve
shots were tired in all. Two of these
were flrt-d by young Harris and the
rest by Lovelace and Reynolds. The
trouble came up over some family af-
fairs and was the termination of a
(end that has existed for some months.
All of the parties live at Speeglevllle,
a little village near this city.
Young Harris was armed with a
double-barreled shotgun and when the
four met in the saloon a quarrel took
place. Harris tried to use his gun but
was prevented from doing so at first
by bis father, the old gentlemen push-
ing his son apd Lovelace tbrough a
door in the partition. After getting
on the Inside young Harris fired two
(.hots, one of which entered his fath-
er’s thigh and tne other the wall. He
was kept from hitting I>ovelace by
Reynolds knocking up the gun. Im-
mediately after the shotgun was fired
lx>velace and Reynolds opened fire
nnd killed the younger Harris. The
father then interfered and he was shot
twice and reeled through the door and
fell.
A* the two men left the saloon they
tired two more shots at the senior Har-
ris and went to the sheriff’s office and
surrendered. Neither of them were In-
jured. They waived examination and
us the grand jury is now in session
they will remain In Jail until their
case is passed ui»on.
The senior Harris was the sheriff of
this county from 1884 to 1890 and was
one of the best officers tbat tbe county
ever bud. After retiring from the
sheriff’s office he removed to his farm
at Speeglevllle, where he has lived
since. His son is prominent in Waco
and tbe entire family on both sides are
well connected. Both of the men who
were shot received a number of balls,
several of which would have proven
fatal.
Justice Williams, who was soon on
the grounds, ^Jund nothing in the way
of arms on the senior Harris except
a pocket knife jj^hlcb was open In his
pocket.
f. I). Lyon* Badly Beaten.
Beaumont, Texas, October 22.—Frank
D. Lyon, a linotype operator who was
arrested yesterday afternoon while
making a socialistic speech on Pearl
street, was taken from the calaboose
last night, carried across the Neches
river into Orange county, severely
beaten and turned loose. Lyon made
his way to Terry, a station about ten
miles east of Beaumont, and from there
he telegraphed a friend here that he
was taken from Jail and brutally
whipped In the woods. No affidavits
or arrests have yet been mado In the
case. It was alleged by the police
that Lyon is an anarchist, but It Is
well known tbat he has made many
socialistic speeches with no trace of
anarchy In them. His home is at
Houston.
Will Not UIt* Dp Taylor.____
Imiiiumpolts, ind.. October 22.—It Is
not likely tbat Governor Durbin will
announce his decision In the matter of
the last requisition of Governor Beck-
ham of Kentucky, for the extradition of
Taylor and Finley, until after the trial
of Caleb Powers, which is now tn pro-
gress at Georgetown. It la generally
understood about the 8tate house that
the governor only consented to care-
fully Investigate the records and that
he haa already read enough to con-
vince him that ha should not honor
the requisitions. Mr. Finley called at
the office of the attorney general today
and had a talk with that official.

Washington. October 22.—It haa
developed that the attorneys for Rear
Admiral Schley have been keeping
ojjogg tab ni> some of the -testimony-
sworn to before the court of Inquiry
and that they have secured several
points which show to Just what limits
the navy department has gone In Its
endeavors to convict Schley In fact,
perjury and subordination of perjury
are openly talked of now. It is a pros-
ecution and vindictive persecution
that is being conducted by the navy
department and no one recognises this 1
better than does Mf. Raynor. He
knows that so far as this trial being
simply an Inquiry Is concerned it is a
mere sham. He is arming,h.mself for
an effort to show up the naval clique in
Us true colors and he will do It if ha
is permitted. If he ean’t do it through
the court he will do it through the
press.

Chicago, 111, October 22—Burglars
last night stole $16,068 worth of
stamp* from the Chicago postofflee and
escaped without leaving the slightest
clew. A tunnel which had taken n
week or more to complete waa run
from the rear of tbe building and a
hole then drilled tbrough the steel
bottom of tbe wholesale stamp vault.
There were ninety-seven small holes
around the square plate cut out, and
some of the drilling looked several
days old. The stamp vault was only
six feet away from the cashier's vault
which contained over $300,000 in cash.
The latter evidently had been the ob-
jective point.
