Texas Day at -Nashville
Nashville, Tenn, June 24.-While
yesterday morning crowds surged to
the centennial and the exercises upon
Texas day helped to bring thousands
wilhin the grounds yesterday afte2noon
and last night broke the record
and far surpassed the attendance of
the morning Though there were
counter attractions in the city, a great
confederate concert, a brilliant reception
at the capitol, the attendance last
night was superb and the fireworks
were witnessed by an immense throng,
while the vanity fair attractions also
captured the multitude The woman's
building was a jam Beautiful matrons
and maids from every southern
state filled the exquisitely furnished
rooms and only gave way to others
when they departed
To-day is to be a red-letter day.
It is confederate veteran day and wfill
be marked by a procession of 10,000
men and women. The great parade
will move at 11 o'clock, Gen. W. H.
Jackson being chief marshal and the
Savannah hussais the guard of honor.
The veterans from each state will be
in position, the sponsors and maids of
honor will have prominent places, men
of note and leaders wfil be given places
of honor and the mighty throng will
move on the centennial exposition. In
the au'hltoiinim dinig the afternoon
there will be a jubilee reunion Gov
Taylor will speak, Gen. Reagan will
make a brief address and innumerable
speeches, all restricted to five minutes,
will be dehliered.
At night the most gorgeous and elaborate
display of fileworks ever witnessed
in the south will be exhibited
and confederate day will close
Texas day was celebrated with interesting
exercises There was a very
lauge number of Texans and their
friends in attendance at the audchonum,
alrorig others present being the
members ot the Texar legislature and
Gov Culbcrson's stair Members of the

of J M Dickinson, where they rmet
Gen John El Reagan The party then
proceeded to the exposition grounds

of Nashville acting as master of
cei emon~es Addresses of welcome
were delivered bv Gov Robeit Tavlor
and Judge Waitel Aekei, folmcrly of
Texas, but now of this city They were
followed by Hon John H. Reagan ot
Texas
The speakers were given close attention
throughout and each was heartily
applauded An excellent musical program-me
was rendered, and altogether
the occ ision was a most happy one
Yesterday was to have been observed
as North Carolina day, but owing to
the absence of the governor of North
Carolina and of several commissioners
of that state, and on account of the
veterans having to attend the reunion,
it was decided to post-pone the date
for North Carolina until further notice.

up half the night because the

possible only with great discomfort
The demand for ice has been extraordinary

to supply all who apply Yesterday afternoon
there was a score of wagons
standing outside of the factoies,
crushing and crying for stock tor their
customers
The police and the hospital a'uthorities

HaWAiI Annexation
Washington, June 24 -Senator Morgan
yesterday introduced a bill for the
annexation of the Hawaiian islands
The bill provides that the islands shall
become a territory of the United States
in accordance with the terms of the
recently negotiated treaty The date
set for the extension of the laws of
this county over the islands is the 4th
of Maieh, 1898, but it is specifically
piov.ded that they may be in force
at an esrther dav if congress so desires
It is also directed that the five
commissioners proi ided for by the
treaty to make recommendations to
congress in maters pertaining to Hawana
shall be confirmed by the senate
The bill appropriates $1,000,000 for
the execution of its provisions. Out of
this sum the interest on the Hawaiian
debt is to be paid, but provision for
the payment of the pIlncipal c~ this
debt is deferred
In reply to a question, Senator Morgan
said that his bill was intended to
carry the annexation tieaty into execution
in case it should be ratified by
the senate or to piovide for its latlfication
by the joint action ol the two
house in case the senate should refuse
to act
"The treaty," ssad the senator, "can
be ratified in this folm by a majority
vote in each of the two houses, thus
avidling the necessity for securing
tjvo-thids of the senate, as Yould be
requn ed il the matter should be passed
upon by that body alone "
The senator said that circumstances
woald determine whether the bill
should be pressed dulng the present
sessions of congress.

GOOD CROP PROSPECT.
A GOOD YIELD IS EXPECTED
ALL OVER THE STATE.
The Cotton Crop ,Will be a ]Few Weeks
Later Than Usual--Fruit Reported to be
Very Good
A Young Married Woman
Criminally Assaulted.
Denton, Tex, June 24 -D Head, a
prominent merchant of this place, has
just returned from a trip to Mexico.
As to the appearance of crops along
the line he said.
"You may say just what you will,
but north Texas has the crops Excessive
rains have been very prevalent
throughout most all Texas, and especially
in the northern part of the
state This will make our cotton crop
from two to thiee weeks later than
usual I think central Texas will beat
Ls a little on cotton, but on wheat and
corn we will outdistance all of them,
more so on our wheat than anything
else Oats, I think, will make a fair
yield everywhere Of course our fruit
crop can not compare with some ot Lhe
other counties, but then I think we
will be able to hold our own after all."
Criminally Assaulted

that she was sitting near the

all the men were harvesting hay in the
fields some distance away. She was
singing, and utterly oblivious of the
presence of any cne near her, when
she was suddenly frightened by a gruff
oelce asking for a drink of water She
got up fiora the c]]air and was in the
act of staiting tol the wacer -when
one of the men grabbed her and assaulted
her Having accomplished hms
purpose, he, assited by his companion,
took her inside and bound her to the
bed Her limbs wvere tied to the post
at the foot of the bed and her hands
tied behind her head and bound to the
bed posts, and a portion o[ tLe bed
sheet forced in her throat as a gag
