SAN ANTONIO. TEXAS. TUESDAY, JANUARY 12. 1886.
THE ARMY.
Senator Manderson, of Nebraska, Ad-
dresses the Senate.
Washington, January U.—ln the Sen
ate Manderson called up the bill to in
crease the efficiency of the infantry
branch of the army. I'be bill provides
that each infantry regiment shall con
sist of 12 companies, one Colonel, one
Lieutenant-Colonel, three Majors, one
Adjutant, or tjuarteriuaster-Sergeant,
a»d one chief of musicians. All ap
poin'ments to original vacancies above
tbe grade of Second Lieutenant created
by the act •hall be filled by senority in
the infantry branch of service. He ad
dressed the Senate on the bill aa follows:
“Our army lias never brought the blush
of shame tv file cheeks of tbe American
people To the disgrace of Congress,
however, no warlike emergency that
has ever arisen has found us prepared.
An i lusiration of th t w as found in the
Cap tol. which had been captured by a
British force no greater than 3,500 men.
Fif een thousand more Union men on the
held of tbe first Manassas would h-ve
closed the civil war, and the malnte
nance of that number of men from the
lune of the Mexican war to that of the
rebellion would not have equalled one
tiftb part of the monet cost of the civil
war, to say nettling of the fearful loss of
human lives. The lethargy ot Congress
in the matter of placing our army, navy
and coast defenses in s proper condition
of efficiency was inexplicable. In view
of the notorious facts as to their insuffi
ciency for emergencies and of the re
peated recommendation of President*
and other executive officers. He did
not believe with Hobbes, Ibat war was
tbe natural v>.mill ion of mankind, nor
with elbsra, that war was soon to dis
appear. However much we might de
sire pence, we should not forget that
ihe most certain method of securing
peace was to be prepared for war.
Not only were we liable to the happen
ing of foreign war, but we were con
stantly menaced with Indian outbreaks,
and even for the latter we were unpre
pared. Manderson spoke warmly of tbe
uneasiness prevailing in the west, and
constant fears entertained by tboussn s
of settlers that the “incarnate devils”
would commit savage atrocities upon
them and their households. Every
brunch of our army, he said, had made
more progress in military organization
and methods than tbe infantry. Not a
•ingle European power now' retained
the single batallion system for infantry
regiments, ad having abandoned it
years ago us not adapted to a state of
war. and therefore not fit to be main
tained in peace. Every civilized army
had advanced beyond us, and was ready
to meet improved arms with improved
organization. Our present plan bad no
expansive power, and therefore bad to
be reorganized in time of war, thus vio
lating an important maxim of military
science that tbe peace organization
should be such as to admit of proper
expansion in time of war. Mauden-on
read extensively from military authori
ties, European and American, to sustain
bis views. One of the merits of bis
bill, he thought, was that it would in
volve a considerable number of promo
tions, provided Congress should decide
Io fully officer tbe reconstructed organ
ization. He maintained that promotioa
was necessary to establish and maintain
a proper ssprit du corps, and insisted
that ns successfnl business man would
think of keeping an employee in the
same grade or position for n quarter of
a ce’tury.
Terrible Loss of Cattle in Kansas.
Dodge City, January IL—Tbe heavy
•now and the bitter north wind o' tbe
past 10 days have caused most serious
apprehensions among cattleman as to
their probsble losses. Upto this time
but few have come in from the range
country, but within a few miles from
here no less than 500 head have drifted
to the river, where Iliey perished In at
tempting tocross.or drifted upto fences,
where they remained and froze todeatb.
A party ia from a raneb to <ho south re
ports sseing cattle on his way up frozen
that were standing on their feet. The
water boles are frozen over, grass is
snowed uuder and the weather is cold,
with every prospect for more snow.
The loss of live stock will be very heavy
on the Arkansas river
Jordan’s Nomination.
Washington. January IL—Ths nomi
nation of Mr. Jordan as Treasurer of the
United States, has been reported favora
bly by the Committee on Finance.
An effort is being made to expedite
action on the part of the Senate so as to
avoid any possible complication which
might arias from tbe present situation in
tbe sub-Treasury at New York. It is
expected that Mr. Jordan will be con
firmed to-morrow, and that the nomina
tion ns Assistant Treasurer at New
York will be made this week.
Bills by Weaver.
Washington, January IL—A bill in
troduced by Weaver direets the Secre
tary of the Treasury to prepare and issue
fractional paper currency to tbe amount
of $75,000,000, In denominations of 10,
15, 25 and 50 cents.
Weaver’s bill to restore soldiers end
sailors of the Iste war to their equal
rights with the holders of governmsnt
bonds, appropriates $3u0,000.000 to pay
them tbe difference between the value of
the currency they received and tbe
standard gold coin of tbe United States.
Depreciation of Silver.
City of Mexico. January IL-Mer
chants are advancing prices on imported
goods on account of continued deprecia
tion in tbe value of silver. American
and English cotton goods have consid
erably advanced, and refined petroleum
from the Uniled States (in universal use
for illumination) has advanced nearly 14
percent. Tbe silver mining interest Is
likely to be affected In sections where
the cost of working the mines leaves a
narrow margin for profit.

vigorous measures adopted by tbe State
authorities for their luppreatlon.
THE HORSE TRADE.
San Antonio One of the Largest Markets
in the Country.
Few persons outside of the horse
trade have any idea of the proportions
assumed by that branch of industry.
The trade has been constantly on tbe
increase, until now it is a very import
ant factor in the commerce of this city.
I he stock is usually what are known as
range horses, which arc allowed to run
wild on tbe range until from 3 to 6 years
of age. when they are gathered up and
driven to this market. Ihe horse ooun
r. tributary totliis market is the south
ern por.ion of the State ami neighbor
ing States in Mexico. They are driven
to pastures near the city anil atock
yards and there held for North
ern buyers. The market for the
major part is in the northwestern
mates, where fanners like the mares for
breeding purpose s on account of their
hiirJiness. a cross between them and
finer breeds, producing a toogb and
hardy work and carriage horse. The
geldings are more in demand in the cat
tle range country of New Mexico, Colo
raiio Montana anil Wyommu Also
quite a market is being established for
Texas horses in the Southern States,
along the Gulteasi of here, and several
parties are engaged In shipping to Flor
Ida. Georgia. Alabama and Louisiana.
I'be great majority of horses are shipped
from here by rail, although several large
herds were driven last year to the north
ami northwest.
The number of horses shipped from
San Antonio direct during the year 1885.
aggregated 30,266 head. Add to this 33
per cent, as having been sold on tbe
ranch by Hie commission men and
shipped from the nearest point lo the
ranch,which would be 10,089. and about
5000 had driven out. and tlie aggregate
numoer of horses sold in min Antonio
for the year |nS5 reaches 45,355 head,
putting the a v rage price at $2O a head,
toil have the snug little sum of $907,010,
or nearly a mdlioti of dollars. Of late
iniicli atlsiiiio ia being paid by ranch
men in securing line blooded stallions,
ami breeding up on the native stock,
thereby very materially enhancing the
market value of the Texas horse, lexa*
has gained a wide reputation for tough
and health horses, but owing to the lack
of system and care in breeding the horses
tsecame quite stunted. The present ef
forts on ttie part of ranchmen to improve
their horses will bring the Texas horses
to Ilie front rank, and may yet be
come a formidable rival of the world re
nowned Kentucky horses.
Prince Charles and the Jesuit*.
London. January 9.—Prince Charles
111. of Monaco and the Jeauils bad a
quarrel recently which has resulted in
tbe Jesuits being driven from the do
mains of the Prince. It seems that 20
years ago the Jesuit* rented some prop
erty horn the Prince and opened a con
vast and school, the latter being fur in
siructiun of the sots of Italian noble
men. Having built a handsome reai
daitce at San Remo and removed the ef
fects of Ihe convent aud tbe member*
of the urder connected therewith totbat
town because of the unenviable reputa
tion which Monte Cano obtained
through its gaming tables, the Jesuits
asked tbs Prince to repay t hem the sum
of 298,000 fraues they had spent In im
proving the convent. This the Prinoe
refused to do, and tbe Jesuits prose
cuted him, whereupon he expelled
them from bls dominions. Tbe subjects
of ths Prince nave implored him to
rescind his order of expulsion. Bui
the Prints remains obdurate. The
International Monte Carlo Committee at
Nice has sent all Eurogean governments
perhape tbe uiost eloquent indictment ot
public gaming tables that lias ever been
written. It consist* of a complete list of
• uddes at Monte Carlo to tbe present
time, and it has been compiled in tbe
hope ot bringing collective action to
bear upon Prince Charles, ot Monaco, in
whose personal Interests the gaining
tables are primarily kept going, ihe
number of persons who, seeing them
selves face to face with ruin, have com
mitted suicide upon the “Lonely Kock,”
wnere, in Lord Tennyson's phrase.
Little Muoaco basking smiles,” dur
ing the past years is 182 b, a number
equal to about one-fourth of Prince
Charles subjects. The lists states tbs
name of each suicide, together with in
many cases their letter* of larewell.
the major part of the victims were I tai -
ian. French and Russians. One-tenth
wire German. 'The English and Amer
ican names are happily not very many.
These poor creatures, it is asserted,
were unceremoniously buried in pau
jier graves.
Free Zone Fraud*.
El Paso, January 10.—The Jevil effects
of tbe free zone on Ihe Mexican side of
tbe Rio Grande i* shown by the increase
ia the quantity of foreign goods passing
through ths United States In bond.
American Consul Bingham, at Paso del
Norte, states that somsthing over th res
limes tbe qusutlly of European good
per month is now pa»sing into Mexico
than formerly. The sale of a variety of
American commodities is prevented snd
ihe Texas border cities sre being bsdly
Injured. Dozens of wagon load* of
merchandise are smuggled into the in
lerlor ot Msxiso and into tbe United
States. The towns along the Texas
border w 111. it is thought, all join in ths
effort to have the free zone abolished,
t hey will be existed by tbe cities in
Ihe interior of Mexico, which, like tbo*e
in tbe United States, ars compelled to
pay heavy duties on imported good*,
and which are being injured ba ly by
the smuggling being oarrfad on from
tbe Rio Grande puims.
Married Men a* Duelists.
Here is a good etury apropos of duel
ing. Rather less than three years ago
two frequenters of tbe principal cafe at
Arles quarreled, with the result ibat
two friends of tbe one who considered
himself the affronted party waited on
the other, a corn merchant in tbe town.
The latter received them courteously,
but, after hearing their message, sent
them bsck to hl* antsgonlit with tbi*
reply: “Tell M. Carjuzs that it would
give me great pleasure to fight bia* ware
we on an equality a* adversaries. But M.
Carjuza la a bachelor and I am a marrlvd
man and the father of three children.
Tell him that when he, too, is a married
nun and tbe father of three children 1
will .eiiuuoly consider bis challenge.”—
