commltf BrooU!tMt night to elect

anrl Coiwlttee. This work marked the
motliP'rtnt'oaturo,n tho reorganisation of
the Demotf1'0 force in that city, -which haa
been In pro" for three month, transferrin
,11 the rfpre'ontotlvo features In the organlsa
tlon from 'ho wards to the Assembly districts.
In fn'or lho wrd ,,ncs wUI completely
tllinlinlrf nm tho Democratlo party ma
rhlntrr n1 tho "al government of the or

lie lodged In the Assembly district. Tho Assem
bly dlitrict committees are composed of two
c,e!,,, 'rom ech ' tho oloctlon district asso
ciation! In the Assembly districts, and the
officers comprise a President, Vice-President,
Secretary, and Treasurer.
ft Assembly district gatherings last night
sidted much interest, and each delegate, before
participating in tho business on hand, gladly
planted down the 93 does required. Thero -were
few manifestations of faction spirit, tho rival
)ttdrs having disposed of their differences at
tb primaries which were held last week. Each
AMimbly district Is to do represented In the
County General Commltteo by ten dolegatcs,
til it was for theso places thero has been the
gUrpest competition since the reorganization
plana wero Inaugurated. Tho County Commit
tee will now be composed of only 210 delegates,
which is less than a third of the body which Is
now going out of existence.
, The delegates choson last night, for tho most
'fart, are in comploto harmony with the man
basement of ex-Register liujrh McLaughlin, who
will have oven a stronger grip on the now Coun
ty Commltteo than County Clerk Jacob Worth
haa on the corresponding Republican body.
Every man who attomptod last night to kick
through the prescribed traces got a Betback.

wishes of tho managers, had to suffer defeat.

:fi Tldalf Tammany la Foollnar Them amd Talk
n Again or nannlna Tbelr Own Ticket
5 There was a llttlo conference of some of the
I Bryan leaders of the city yesterday afternoon at
f' the headquarters of the Progressive Democratlo
';' League in tho Hotel BxrtholdL At its conclu
if slon John Uoeey, First Vice-President of the
v league, said:
fc "The more we discus the situation the mora
f confirmed are wo in the opinion that wo will
K, run our own city ticket this jear."
6 " Yes, and you can say that we expect the co
at operation and support of all good Democrats
V for our own ticket," interjected another of the
E conferees.
f It seems that the Bryan men are no longer
V satisfied with John C. Sheehan's assurances that
K everything will be all right. Everything that
f Tammany has been doing openly point to a
ft Burnose to keep the Chicago platform out of the
local campaign. This has gone on so long that
the Blmon-pure Bryan men are nioro than sus
picious of the sincerity of Tammany. Their sub-
I plcions have been conllnnod by tho resolutions
which have been adopted at various Tammany
i Assembly district raeetlmrH calling on Mr.
t Bbeehan, as Chairman of tho Committee on Invl-
I tatlons for the Fourth of July Celobrutlon, to In-
vlto only Greater Now York orators and confine
g tho talk to local issues.
"Jimmy Doyle and tho other district leaders
J who ha o had such .resolutions adopted at tbelr
mcotlngs Mould not ln.ro dono It unlets thoy
3, were acting tinder orders," sold one of the ion-
I forece yesterday afternoon. "And Boyle I one
1 of the no called Bllrer Democrat who lias been
V' put by James J, Martin on the Conference Com-
f mitt co which Is going to llx up tho Democratlo
t city convention. That Is a tine Democratlo
f commltteo. The so-called silver Domocratson
a. It are of the pure Tammany sort. They voted
i for Bryan Inst year simply because the organ-
J Uatlon found it to its Interest to support film,
not from devotion to principle."
gf " The Tammany leaders say they don't think
. you have muclt of a following," suggested the
K reporter.
f "They will have a chanoe to count us if tbey
4 krop on as they have been going In thlsprellmln-
If ary campaign work," was the rejoinder of this
ft ofllcor of tho league.
fti Tho conference was considerably stirred by a
.V' rumor which one of the ofllcore of tho league
Z? said had reached them to the effect that William
rE J. Bryan, on bis return from his lecturo tour,
tt will be In this city to-morrow. If he comes tbey
it havo a notion of getting him and leader Bhoehan
m. together and securing from the latter a formal
invitation to Mr. Bryan to speak at the Fourth
of July celebration.

Traabl Brewing la the C I. IT. Over tit
TYorklBgmea's falltleal league.
Tho Worklngmen's Political League, although
not odlclally connected with tho Central Labor
Union, Is likely to causo dire discord In that
body. A number of tho delegates to tho C. K
U. are among the leaders in tho league, while
othor delegates aro utterly opposed to the league
and look upon it as a sort of appendage to any of
the old political parties that promises to giro It
something. Besides, somo of tho leaguers are
also members of tho Cltlrens' Union, an organ
ization which 1 generally unpopular with the
C. L, U.
It developed yesterday that a number of dele
gates who Joined tho league are now disgusted
with It, and denounce Its alleged methods. One
of these sold: "Tho league cannot bo used for
anyone's purpose. Why. nobody In It could
control a single voto except his own. nnd besides
thero aro only n fow of them, who inert In n mys
terious war behind closed doors and try to fool
the publlo into believing that thoy aro an In
fluential body. ..... .
"Tho whole affair was orgnnucd In tho In
terest of a fow people The loaders have got
number of other people to join tho leaguo by
leading them to believe that they will be nom
inated for some office. When It conies to the
campaign tho leaguo will dump them nil, and
will mako the light on George Blair for lleglster
nnd Jacob E. Bausch for Coroner."
Anothor nntl-lcague delegate Bald: "A com
mittee of the league was sent to Mr. Shcohan,
the Tammany boss, with n list of twenty-flvo
possible candidates for Assembly and twenty
hvo for municipal offices. Thoy asked him to
pick out seven or eight whom Tammany would
support. They got no doclded answer. Tho
league has given Tammany to the 20th of this
month to answer. , ,
" Last year Tammany was wontecr than she is
now, and gave the labor peoplo tho nomination
of Jacob E. Bausch for Coroner because she
knew he would bo the easiest mark for defoat.
This year Tammany la strongor, and tho league
will get left. This leaguo Is tho body that nomi
nated Bausch last year, but this year Its methods
are different, nnd It represents nobody."

President Qnlgg Will Invite All Critic or Its
latrsrtty to Help.
President Qulgg of tho Republican County
Committee said yesterday that ho has decided
on a course of action which ho belloves will
eliminate all factional differences in tho Repub
lican party growing out of the Impeachment of
tho membership rolls of tho organization. Ho
Bald:
" I shall communlcato with the gentlemen who
questioned the Integrity of tho enrollment. I
shall Inform them that it is my purpose, to causo
all tho election district associations to asscmblo
this month, at some data to be fixed hereafter,
and. In accordance with the provisions of artlclo
SC of tho constitution of th organization, then
and there to effect a revision of tho rolls. Every
name which ought not to bo there Is to bo taken
thorofrom, and the names are to bo placed there
of all persons who present themselves nnd duly
qualify, I shall nsk the cooperation of thoto
gentlemen in somo system of supervision which
will assure to everybody the fact that tho rolls
of tho Republican party on July 1 are not open
to attack on any ground whatever.
"There Is no provision In tho constitution
which permit the County Commltteo or its offi
cers to order a now general enrollment, and. a
tho gentlemen who signed tho statement Im
peaching the rolls were the namo gentlemen. In
most coses, who wrote tho constitution, the
present officers of the County Commltteo will, of
course, not bo blamed for the fnct that no such
? revision exist. None tho less, n revision of
ho rolls can be effected which will serve tho
purpose, not only of removing every name which,
for any reason, ought not to bo there, but by
F roving to the comploto satisfaction of everybody
bat tlio revised rolls aro a nearly correct aa is
humanly possible.
" My letter to tho signers of tho statement by
which tho present enrollment was Impeached
will be In no senso a challenge. It will be simply
a request for that cooperation in the work of
rovlBlon which will convince all men that it has
been properly done."
William Ilrookfleld and other Republicans
who were foremost In their attack on tho roll
of tho organization were much gratified over
the expressed determination of President Qulgg
to have a thorough revision of the enrollment,
and said that It ought to bring about the object
sought.

Twenty persons representing the silver De
mocracy in various divisions of the Greater
New York held a secret meeting In the Claren

last named la Chairman of the Kings
County Democratic Leasrue, which a month ago
resolved to have nothing to do with the Young
Men's Loyal Democratic League. The fact that;
he was present at the conference is said to bo
an indication that his organization has been con

the meeting.

Binohamton, June 10. The skunk farm near
Brookton, Tompkins county, which has been
operated by a company, has been removed to a
farm near Van Kttenvllle. About 2,000 skunks
are being raised for tho fur. which Is quite val
uable. The first batch of the animals proved a
failure, as the fur was not first class.
It has been proved that unless skunks are fod
on raw meat their fur deteriorates and falls out.
The black fur brings tho highest price, nnd that
marked with V-shaped tracings ot whltobalr
on the back of tbe animal Is next In value. The
removal of the animals naa accomplished with
but llttlo difficulty, as thoy had become so tame
that tbey could easily be handled.

WE YLER WANTSTHEM DEAD
xunar irELZ-Kxoirx ovbaxb ac
cused AS DTXAMlTEItB.
The Tribunal Ordered te Paa stMiaea-Wej-ler
Says tbs Extradition of flan t These
Men Raw Hers Wilt B DesWainded r Oar
Uerernment They Are ITet Dynamiter.
Havana. June 4. Tho military tribunal
which is in charge ot the proceedings against
many Important and well-known persons ot
Havana, who are being prosecuted as dyna
miters, has received ordors from Gen. Weylcr to
hasten tho matter and pass sentonce. Owing to
tho position nnd family influence of some of
theso persons and the lack of evidence against
them, tho tribunal has been delaying the pro
cedure. There Is no truth whatever In tbe
charges against theso persons, but Weyler
wants them killed.
Those who are adjudged by tho tribunal to be
guilty will bo sentenced to death, while those
who aro declared to be Implicated, in a lesser
degreo will undergo Uto Imprisonment in chains.
Theso are the only punishments provided In tho
special law against dynamiters which has bcon
promulgated in Cuba by Weyler. It was hoped
that Weyler would bo recalled and Martinez
Campos sent hero to roplaoo htm, in which event
it was thought that this attempt to railroad In
nocent persons to death would bo stopped. But
under the recent order of Woyler the death
sentenco Is likely to bo signed.
Tho military tribunal has sent n note to the
civil Judges In Havana and to tho pollco asking
Information about tbo conduct, during times ot
peace, of tho thirty persons who are now under
prosecution. Somo of them are in tho United
States nnd others aro In Jail In Havana or on the
Chafarlnas Islands and at Couta, near the North
African coast, charged with political offences.
The accused persons In tho United States,
whoso extradition Weyler announces will be de
manded from tho American Government, are:
Francisco Urrutta, Fernando Diaz, Manuel
Diaz, Secundlno Delgado, N. Flguoredo, JosA
Julian Vnlladares, Hubert do Blank, Benito
Aranguren, Josd Llanusa Ramon, Mnnuol Car
dona, Julian Tlrso Valdcs, Domingo Valdes, N.
Pla, Alfredo Hernandez Uuguet, Armado Andre,
and Alfonso Loper.
Tho efforts of Weyler to secure the extra
dition of these persons ns common criminals, It
he carries out hi word, will certainly result in
failure. Their only crime Is that they are politi
cally opposed to Spain, and while they are
prosecuted now as dynamiters, the real basis ot
their offending is that they havo held, whllo In
Havana, political relations with the insurgents
or with tho Now York Junto. Tho lost men
tioned, Soflor Alfonso Lopez, was President of
tho Cuban Junta In Havana.
Tho fate of thoso who aro already In Spanish
jails is far mora dubious. Thoso who are pris
oners at Ceuta aro Dr. Alfredo Zayas. Dr. Gon
zalez Lanuza. Francisco Alday.'Adolfo Diaz, and
Ignaclo Lamas. The two first mentioned aro
distinguished Cuban lawyers, and Dr. Lanuza is
renowned for his talent as an orator.
In Jail in Havana are Ceferino Vega, Berafin
Martinez, Ramon Ruancs, Adriano Silva,
Gumerslndo Atalay, Francisco Massana. and
Armando de los Rlos. Tbo last named Is under
23 years ot ago nnd has proved himself a hero.
Ho has been tortured Bevoral times to extort
from him a denunciation of tho other prisoners
and, although tho tortures havo at times de
prived him ot his Benses, ho has always an
swered that he knew of no dynamiters, and that
his only crlmo was that he hated Spain and the
Spaniards.
In tho process appears tho namo of ono Miguel
Beato Qutterroz. This namo Is purposely dis
torted by tbe Spaniards, Tho real man is Miguel
Beato Betnncourt, but ho wan tho Spanish spy
who denounced tho others and the proceedings
against him are mere pretence.
"PACIFICATION" IX CUBA.
Weyler Seems to nave is Queer Idea a t
What tbe Word Mean.
Madrid, May 27. In a signed article. Col.
Qenaro Alas of tho engineer corps says in La
Correspondencta de Ktpafta :
" Peoplo ask mo if I believe that Cuba is pac
ified or oven half pacified. No; I cannot call
the state of affairs west ot the Jacaro and Moron
trocha pacification. What we have there la a
powerful military display. Let this manner of
making war continue for flvo or six years and
tho Insurgents will be exterminated, just as
Charlemagne finished with the Saxons In Ger
many, and William the Conqueror with the
Saxons In England.
"There were recently In the territory west of
tbe trocha, said to bo pacified, 88 battalions, 10
squadrons, and 0g batteries. The troops on the
othor Bldo of tho trocha, whoro pacification has
not been declared yet, consisted of only 28 bat
talions, 0 squadrons, and 'Ah batteries. Both
portions ot tho Island are of about an equal size.
As long as tho greater part of the troops are not
removed from tho West to tho East, my Infer
ence Is that there Is no such thing as peace In
the officially pacified region. I should say that
tho Insurrection i like a wildcat upon whoso
neck Gen. Weyler has placed his foot. The cat
cannot movo, but Gen. Weyler dares not raise
his foot. Ho Is trying to tamo the animal
through stnrrntlon.
" But be has to treat as enemies all tho Inhab
itants ot tho country, to concentrate them and
subject them to all kinds ot hardships. How are
these peoplo, af tor hai Ing boon deprived of their
social liberty, a right enjoyed even in countries
despotically ruled, going to bellat e that a liberal
regime, favorablo to their interests, has been In
stituted In Cubat They mill not bellevo any
such thing. Mcanwhllo all our hopes of an
early settlement will disappear, to make room
for tho methods of Charlemagne nnd William
tho Conqueror, with their luovltablo accompani
ment of now sacrifices In men and monoy.
"Reforms In Cuba will provo fruitless unless a
majority of tho Cubans wish to be Spanish. Tho
Government must hcllove that such Is the feel
ing of most of tho Cubans, since it resorts to re
forms. But, to bo logical, tho Cuban-Hpanlsh
peoplo must bo permitted to mo o ns thoy please
in tho country and titles a tho Government's
most powerful ully. Tho policy of Inflicting
damngo upon tho peaceful as a monns of con
quering tho Insurgents must bo abandoned.
" If the Government docs not really believe In
tho efficiency of reform an a moans ot pacifica
tion, let thorn be no more talk about It. Let
Gen, Wcyler's methods lie carried on until ex
termination has been consummated. But, In
lIcavcn'H namo, spare us the spectacle of depor
tation, Imprisonment, and starvation while a
tiollcy ot liberty, decentralization, and pros
perity I Invoked."
This despatch from Gen. Wojlor gives a fair
Idea of what ho understands by pacification:
"Havana, May 21, In Santiago de Cuba the
force escorting u convoy to Yatorus, killed one
of tho enemy. Wo had two mounded,
" Whllo reconnoitring on tho Palaclo estate
we killed ono insurgent nnd captured another.
"Gen. Linares dcstrood tho rebel prefecture
nt Aguacnte, Caoba, and Geturnlnuno. Bad
wenther made him retreat to Pnlma Soriano
after having dislodged tho enemy from the
heights, o bad an officer nnd eight soldiers
Moumlod.
"Tbo enemy attacked Fort Islefio at Sierra
Macstra nnd mere repelled. Our garrison had
to wounded.
"Tho enemy planted nbomb of drnamlto nt
Jnnina, on the Songu and Crlsto Railroad. The
Pilot onglno mns derailed, and tho Insurgents
tried to loot the train and hum tbe cars, 'Iho
gutrrlllas attached to tho Cuba battallun, tho
antiuHO squadron, tho Bongo guerrilla band,
nnd threo companies of tho Asia battalion

body was found under tho ruins of a car.
Havana is in a state ot panio over tho explo

insurgent leader who blew up tho train wo Col.
Nestor Aranguren, All tho Spanish forces In
Havana have boon sent to tho outskirts of tbo
capital to prevent an attack on Havana Itself by
Aranguren. Tho situation has beon reported at
Madrid to bo one of extreme gravity, because
Aranguren is gathering many Cuban band
around Havana,
A report haa been ent to Secretary of Stats
Sherman, signed by many trustworthy persons,
with regard to the horrible outrages committed
by the Spaniards In Santa Clara province. A
8panlsh column arrived at Trinidad with throo
women prisoners, a mother and two daughters,
14 and ID years of age. The girls wero assaulted
by the officers and by tho Spanish Goncral
Aldca. Then all threo were locked In a house In
which somo sick Cuban prisoners wore confined,
nnd tho house was Bet on fire and all the Inmates
perished. The namo of tho women w as Lopez.
In Clonfuegos and Santa Clara city similar
barbarities are of dally occurrence. In Santa
Clara city 000 persons aro dying of hunger.
Ramon Ferrelro, 80 years old, his son and his
Bon-ln-law wero slain there In cold blood by the
Spaniards In his own house. Tho women ot tho
family who Interfered In behalf of their relatives
were horsewhipped. All these crimes aro con
cealed by the Spaniards, but are constantly re
ported to the American Consuls.
At Lajas tho Insurgent leader Caylto Alvarez
defeated a Spanish column and then burned tbe
neighboring town of San Marcos.

Calhoun left Washington for Danllle, III., to
night. Ho spent most of tho morning nnd after
noon In tho office of Assistant Secretary Day at
the State Department making memoranda from
official papors concerning tho Ruiz case. It is
said that he wrote a statement about his inves
tigation into tho death of Dr. Rulr, to ho consid
ered in connection with tbo renort of Consul-
General Lee. During tho morning Mr. Calhoun
met Scfior Dupuy de Lome, tho Spanish Minis
ter, In Judge bay's office, and they had a Bhort
chat.
Dr. Congosta. the Spanish official who ap
peared for his Government in the Ruiz lnvcstl
fatten, will bo horo tomorrow with Scfior
lupuy do Lome, and will submit his report,
giving the SpanUhAlde of the case. He was
Consul at Philadelphia, where Ruiz resided for
a time, nnd his selection ns tho Spanish Com
missioner was due in part to investigations ho
had made there about the American citizenship
ot Dr. Ruiz. It 1 expected that on the basis of
his report the Spanish Govornmcnt will hold
that Ruiz did not perfect his naturalization.
Hi report will probably be furnished tho Stnto
Department by Scfior Dupuy do Louie, who will
receive In exchange a copy of tho report irndo
by Consul-General Lee. Both theso documents
and the Joint reports of facts on n hlch Gen. Ix-o
and Dr. Congosta agjeod will be sent to Mndrld
for consideration. Gen. Leo sent to tho Stntn
Department a number ot pbotogrnphs of the jail

Department, who wo appointed to assist Judge
Day In handling the Cuban matter, was sworn

The Part Temp Thinks she Will Have a Bow
with L'ncle Sam.
Paiiib, June 10. The Temps, in an article on
the Cuban situation, expresses belief that tbo
relations between the United Stntos and Spain
are rapidly approaching a crisis. " Spain, which
lr really Queen Regont Maria Christina," tho
paper says, "has absolutely rejected the chance
to chnnge her policy, and has preferred to heap
favors and confidence upon Premier Canovas.
Nobody speaks now of replacing Gen. Wcj Icr."
The IVmiis rcrognizes the fact that all
America Is disposed to strlko a passionate blow
for the Independence of Cuba, and think It
ominous that the hot-hended Duke of Tetunn is
still thought necessary In an office whero per
fect courtesy Is now indispensable
QUEEX BEOEXT OX THE BALOOXT.
Madrid Disgusted with Canoraa'a Treatment
or the litng'a Mother.
Madrid, May 2(1. Tho publlo demonstrations
here In honor of Gen. Polavlcjn rovcal the Gov
ernment's unpopularity. Polavlcjn had for some
time been considered a hero for hi conduct of
the Phlllpplno war; but the fact that the rebel
lion continued and still continues, despite the
numberless "victories" of tho Spanish army
there, considerably diminished the enthusiasm
for the General. Yet, as he was no fnorltewlfh
tho Government, the oppositions prepared a
grand reception for him whom thoy called tho
hero of the Philippine, nnd succeeded In stir
ring up tbe people iu Barcelona, Huraeossa, and
other cities along the railway lino from Bar
celona to Madrid; but either because tho Gov
ernment Interfored or becnune so much exag
geration In fai or of n man who hail nut achieved
unythlng to speak of, did not moot with tho ap
pro; ul of senslblo persons hero, tbe demonstra
tion in this clt) was a failure.
For tho moment Premier Canovas was vic
torious over Gen. I'olaicJu, but it was Cnno
vas's ill luck thnt the Queen Regent appeared
on the palace balcony nt the moment t lint I'o
lavleja passed, and the Incident was Interpreted
a evidence that Maria Christina did not agree
wlthCanorasas to tbo manner of recognizing
themorltsof tho so-called nacltler of the Philip,
pine. There was n good deal of talk In several
of the Madrid newspapers, and Scfior Canovas
then caused Jm I'.tmca to publish un Inspired
version of the affair.
According to La Epoca tho Queen Regent hnd
appeared on tho balcony without knowing thnt
Gen, Polavlejn was still In front, r-lie was tho
llrst torogret the occurrence, and had urged the
Premier to have her explanation published,
Tho explanation fell like a bomb. It was
declared to be a gross Insult to tho Queen
Regent, who was made to appear a hum
bling herself before tbe Premier. Seflor Ha
gitsta said that Canovas had acted llko a
rogue, and added that ho did not tnka
tho matter to the Cortes out of respeot for
her Majesty. Tho Jferaldo said that tho history
of tbe Spanish monarchy contained only one
other instance of similar disrespect forthopor
son of the monarch, that of Olozaga, who, In
1813 took Queen Isabella by tho arm and forced
her to slim a decree dlssolUng the Cortes. El
Nuetc Rtoimcn asked where was the man to
avengo the Queen Regont, as Gonzalez Bravo
had avenged Queen Isabella.
Referring to tho possibility of a war between
Spain and the United Statis, Soflor PI y Mar
Ball, leader of the Republican Federal party,
says In Kl Xuevo Regimen ;
"Woe to us If such a war comes. We would

Pror. Hoaaton'a Teaching In Political Kcon
tay Objected To nepabllrnn Principle
Inculcated and the "Lost Cause" Bldl
ruled t Only Text Beeka by Texan Wanted.
Austin, Tox., Juno 10. After n flory dobato
lasting throo hours to-day tho House ot Repre
sentatives In tho Texas Legislature adoptod tho
resolution to havo a commltteo appolntod to in
vestigate tho chargo that thero were Northorn
professors occupying chairs In tho State Uni
versity who wore teaching Republican princi
ples and ridiculing tho traditions of tbo "Lost
Causo." Tho storm that has so suddenly burst
over tho University faculty has beon browing
for threo months or more, nnd on scvornl oc
casions como closo to a row during tho regular
session which adjourned throo weeks ago.
Tho School Text Book bill debate gavo an op
portunity for tho expression of some sharp sen
timents on tho character of oducatlon in tho
Toxas public schools and for students In the
higher educational institutions ot tho State. A
bill was passed providing that tho books to bo
used In tho futuro shall not only bo printed In
Texas, but shall have Toxas authors. On
tho first day of tho regular session
n groat crowd turnod out to witness
tho beginning of tho twenty-fifth Legisla
ture. Seated in tho galleries wero several
hundred students from tho Stnto University,
whoso special mission seemod to bo to applaud
every rcferenco to tholr Institution. Bofora tho
day was over Iho members took tho cuo, and
falling to got applause any other way, would
ralso their arms and with tholr eyes rolling
would mako omo Illusion to tho State's pride.
Then tho irnllerics would break forth In cheers.
Later the charge was mado that tho rrlcnds of
the university had mado themselves obnoxious
by lobbying for nn oxtra largo appropriation,
somo members going so far ns to say that tho
matter had progressed to tho point of becoming
a question a to which should rulo, tho Htato or
tho unlvorslty. At tho very outset of tho special
session thlB explosive subject blared up anew.
Charges of fraud In connection with tho passago
of tbo text hook bill led to discussion of tho en
tire educational question again, nnd tho unl
vorslty war wnn fiercer thin ever.
Tho man aimed at In the resolution adopted
to-day by tho House is Prof. Houston, who
toaches political economy. Prof. Houston Is tho
author of n work on this subject, In which It Is
charged by somo that ho advances Ideas not in
B mpathy with the spirit and Interest of South
ern institutions. President Winston also comes
In for n share of blame, nnd to bear out thnt
charge tho following words of his, delivered nt
an address before an alumni banquet nt Dallas
In March, have beon quoted ngnlnBt him:
"The Constitution of our Stnto seems to bo
mado up mainly of prohibitions. It is a Bcrlc
ofdon'ts. It is a sort of comblnnt.on of tho
democratic iden of cvorybody doing what ho
ploasc without Interference from anybody, and
the old carpet-bnggor Idea that tho State should
be protected from plunder by Its public servants.
And tho result Is that wo havo a Constitution,
nnd wo have a machinery of government lu
Texns which Is tbo most remarkable obstruction
to progress that probably exists any w here."
This language coming from tho head of tho
Btnto University, loaves no doubt that hi words
will hove considerable effect upon the student
under his care and training. In tho regular bo
sion of tho Legislature Senator Dlbroll uttered a
warning nnd said tho university was fast drift
ing Into politics. Ho deplored thnt. and plainly
told his colleagues that the downfall of tho uni
versity would follow if conditions were not
changed. Ono of tho bitterest debate in tho
hlstorj of tho Texas Legislature Is almost un
avoidable when tho Bpeclal commltteo's report
reaches tho House. There are rumors of con
templated resignations from the faculty of tbo
Stato University.
BEFOBE THE TICKET PUXCU.
IIow Economical Patrona Were Wont to Swin
dle tbe icrle In lu Early Days.
"In tho early days of the passenger buslnesa
on tho Erlo Railroad, which was the first rail
road on which through business was done be
tween New York and Lako Eric, tho printing of
tickets was n largo Item of expense," said an
old-time Erlo man. "It would not do to use a
ticket onco nnd then destroy it, ns is dono nowa
days, bo ticketB wero printed on tho heaviest
kind of cardboard. When a ticket wn taken
up by n conductor at Its destination it would be
sent tn the general passenger agent's office, to
be returned to tho agont at tho station, whero
It was originally sold, for resale, and would be
thus kept In uso as long as the ticket might last,
" This system prevailed a long time, when tho
dlscovory was made In somo way that tho pat
trons of tho road wero working tho company in
a way that was taking mora rercnuo from it
than would pay for the printing of new tickets
many times over. For Instance, say a citizen of
Andovor, on tho Western division, might bo
going to New York. Tho fnre, I think, was over
99. He would buy his ticket from that station
to his destination. Tho conductors wero run
by divisions of tho road. Tho Western divi
sion's eastern tcrmlnuo was HorncllsUUo. Tbo
conductor would honor the ticket to thnt place,
whero a new conductor took tho train. Ho car
ried the passenger on tho ticket to Susquehanna,
whero ho surrendtrcd the trntn to a third con
ductor, who ran it to Port Jervls, where the
fourth and last conductor took charge.
"Tho ticket from Andover to Now York had
been used to this point, no mark of any kind
being mado upon it. At Port Jen is the passen
ger would gi t off tho train nnd purchase a ticket
from thnt station to New York. This would cost
him nhout 92.70. Hu would hand this tlckot to
tho new conductor, w ho of courso knew nothing
about the passenger's having come from Ando
ver on u through ticket. Ibis ticket from Port
Jervls would be taken up nt the end of tho run.
When tho enterprising and economical person
from Allegany count got ready to return home
ho would buy n ticket from Now York to Ando
ver. This would bo used westward ns tho first
had been used castw aril thnt ticket 1 elng still
safe in his wallet. At HornclIsUlle, tbo begin
ning of tho Western Division, ho would buy n
ticket from that placo to Andocr for less than
$1. This tho conductor would take up. ns tho
conductornn thu Eastern Division hnd taken up
tho tlckot Iwtwocn Port Jervls nnd Now York.
"Tho trnxeller would now hno a through
ticket from Andovor to New York nnd one from
New York to Andover in his possession. They
hod cost him, saj, $18, As long ns the card
imnnl on which they were printed held out thoso
tickets would be good for n trip oachwny.no
matter how often the cltlrcn or a friend to w horn
be might hire them out cared to uso them, all
tho outlay necessary In making tho trips being
2.70 from Port Jcr Is to New York nnd $1 from
llornellsvllla to Andovor. The company would
then be earning tho pn&songcr 700 miles for
$3.7o. or a trifle o cr half n cent a mile.
"When this fraud was dlsioerod It had been
in operation many months nt station after sta
tion nlong tbo lino favorably situated for profit
able uso of It. Then orders were issued to con
ductors to mark with a pencil through tickets
on their respective divisions, to show thnt they
had beon used thereon; but that was easily got
over by the passenger, nnd after rt time each
conductor wns provided with a bradawl, with
which he punched a bole iu tho tlckot for hU
division. This, of courso, Hpolled tho ticket for
use more than onco, and tho company had to In
crease it printing bills. But It round Its treas
ury swollen by tho use of tho awl fnr beyond tho
lnrtm added cost nt printing tickets. The brad

LIFE IX BABXABD COLLEGE.
TbeCIoae of the Tear Propecta for 1007-DH
Effect or the Blectlvo Course.
Tho last purely social function of the college
year for tho Barnard students was a reception
given by President and Mrs. Low in their own
home on Tuesday afternoon to all members ot
the graduating class nnd to tho candidates tak
ing hlghor degrees.
Tho entrance examinations for the coming
year began on Wednesday with French and
closed on Saturday with science In formor
years an entire week was given up to theso ex
aminations, ono subject being taken each day.
Threo hours woro supposed to bo tho tlmo limit,
butasamatterof fact Indulgent proctors were
often persuaded to extend the time to four and
flvo hours, and it was small wonder that
students were In a state ot mental exhaustion
w hen tho ordeal wo over. Nowadays the ex
aminations extend over four days, and tho max
imum time spent on each paper is two hours and
a half. Tho new arrangement is far better, for
tbo students keep much fresher and evon mora
cheerful. .
The total number of npplicants who came up
for tbe examinations was sixty-four. Of this
number soventoon were candidates for "pre
liminaries," or thoso taking portions of subjects
with tho Intention of completing them a year
henco; fifteen took final examinations, and
thirty-two offered every Bubject, In addition to
this number threo students offered subject for
advanced standing, expecting to enter the
sophomore class, and several mado applications
to bo transferred from other colleges.
It has been a subject of much speculation and
ot no little discussion among college officials a
to what would be tho result this spring of the
new rulo in regard to Orcck whereby it Is no
longer a compulsory subject for entrnncc. Now
that girls have an alternative, perhaps that
much-mooted Inquiry, "What is too senso of a
girl learning Greek I" may rccclvo a final
solution.
Tho partisans of the new Bchcmo predicted
that there would be a very largo lncroaso In tho
number ot students seeking admission: tho more
conservative wero content to say that for somo
yours to como there would bo no npprcclable
difference In tbo numbers that could bo directly
traceablo to (irrok or non-(lrcek. The result this
year proves both parties to ho right. Tbo number
nf nnrilli nnle lies i nptnlnlt Innrnociu) Vialnit trw-tr--.

sixty-four, sixteen enmo in under tho now regula

matics, an elementary science, and the second
modern language; thirtv-two como In under tho
old plan, with Latin, (Jreck. one modern lan
guage. Kngllsh nnd mathematics. Those taking
fircliminury examinations have not been taken
ntn consideration in this enumeration. Of
courso the next fow veers may reverse these
figures, but unloss conditions change greatly it
seems snfo to prophesy that the girls willlflnd
the advanced mathematics n more difficult re
quirement tn meet than tho classical language.
Barnard offered six graduate scholarships for
the year 1P97-99, five of tho value of $150 each,
and ono of tho value of ifUM), applications for
which had to be made before the first of June.
For the coming year thoy wero assigned as fol
lows: one in Kngllsh, ono In classics, one In po
litical science, ono in natural science, one in
philosophy, and one In mathematics. There was
an unusually large number of applications for
theso this year, and from students of markod
ability and high scholarship. The follow lag
awards were made:
English, to Miss Helen Isabel Whlton. Miss
Whlton received the degreo of A. B. from Smith
Collcgo In '04; she was a groduato student at

receiving tho degree ot M. A. from Columbia

1880-00 Miss Katon was an instructor nt Smith
in Kngllsh. She has twice been the recipient of
tho fellow shlj) offered by tho Collcgo Settlement
Association, nnd has for tho past year lived at
theXsettlcment in Philadelphia. Miss Katon has

To persons having a thirst for statistics it is
sometimes a matter of interest to know Just
what proportion of all such students receive
their training in prlvato school and what pro
