ital of $10000000 for the purpose of

tary of the treasury that it has built

ister shall be Issued to foreign built

Qonnfni. wilann tn nmnnrl the amend
ment to the House bill proposed by
the Senate committee McPherson
modified his amendment slightly but
after a long debate it was rejected-

ment providing that if the harbor de-
fense ship be put on the Pacific coast

to the contract price co cover the cost
of transportation of material. The

there was no absolute necessity for
the new vessels contemplated and
that ihe condition of the treasury did

Washington May 17. After some
opposition the journal was approued

Washington May 17. Justice
Harlan of the United States supreme
court and Senator Morgan of Ala-
bama who have been selected by the
president as arbitrators on the part of
the United States in the Behring sea
controversy have each accepted the
appointment and agreed to serve. By
the terms ot the convention under
which arbitration proceedings will be
conducted it is allowed to each gov-
ernment after exchange rati-
fications time in which to
prepare the case and state
briefs on which it rests its position in
the controversy. These briefs are
then to be exchanged and an additional
period of 90 days is given the repre-
sentatives of each nation in which to
prepare any matter to rebut and con-
trovert facts and claims made by other
side. Agents of the two governments
are now engaged on this preliminary
work and will not be completed until
active labors of t he arbitration com-
mission will begin. It will thus be
seen it will be next autumn at the
earliest before the commission assem-
bles and how long it will then take
to conclude tne settlement oi tne con-
troversy is a problem.

Special to The Statesman.
San Antonio Tex. May 17. When
the International and Great Northern
train rolled in at 10 o'clock this morn-
ing a thousand people were at the
depot to greet George Clark. He was
met by Mayor Callahan and other
prominent city officials as well as by
leading citizens of the place. The
procession was headed by the Twenty-
third Infrntry band and there were
seventy-five carriages in line many
of them contained ladies and every-
body male and female wore the blue
Clark badge A salute of seventeen
guns were fired from Alamo plaza.
Tonight there was a torchlight pro-
cession nearly a mile in length. There
were numerous floats and transparen-
cies bearing appropriate legends:
"Turn Texas Loose!"
"He is the man for our money!"
"Hurrah for the Little Giant!"
"Down with the alien land law!"
etc
The procession moved down Com-
merce street and up Houston to Alamo
plaza where a temporary pavilion
had been erected. Seats to accommo-
date 1500 people had been built and
twice that number stood up. The
wildest enthusiasm prevailed. If
there were any Hogg men present
they kept remarkably still. The glare
of the electric lights disclosed not one
red badge.
Ex-Congressman Upson chairman
of the Clark club which now com
nrises some 300 of the foremost citi
zens of Bexar county introduced the
Warwick in a few well cnosen words.
When the man from Waco rose to
speak he faced a crowd which was
death still and ready to pay a strain-
ed attention to anything he had to
say. Immediately to his right were
the dim wails ot trie old Aianio ouua
Ing which echoed to the deaths of
the men wno neipeu i sec
Texas free. He was evidently inspir
ed bv his surroundings and his speech
is pronounced the most cogent forci
ble ana impassionea or ine campaign.
His voice seemed to have regained
something of its old ring and there
was nothinff in ins manner or appstr
ance to show the tremendous strain
to which he has been subjected.
After a compliment to his
auditors and a ieeling reference
to the history of the city whose guest
he was he plunged into one of the
most forceful talks it Has been tne
pleasure of San Antonians to hear in
a decade. The speech was in the
main a repetition of those delivered
elsewhere but was with true Clark fa
cility garnished witn a thousand now
ers of a rhetoric and smile whether
right or wrong in his attacks upon
the Hogg government. He convinced
his auditors that he was right. The
speech was in the main devoted to the
failure of the appointive commission
Mr. Hogg's suits against railways and
the consequent unsettlement of land
titles. The uncalled for attacks
upon corporations the unfriend
liness to capital the department
of capital the consequent high rates
of interest the sudden stoppage of
Texas in its march of progress etc
At the close he was waftnly congratu
lated. Taken all in all the event was
the biggest political demonstration
that has occurred in San Antonio dur-
ing the past ten years.

Disappointed Boomers From the Cheyenne
Reservation Anticipate a Decision of the
United States Supreme Court and
Prepare to Jump Claims.
Guthrie O. T. May 17. The re-
port reaches here from Greer county
of an alarming state affairs in por-
tions of that county. People who are
now settled there took lands under
the laws of Texas and many hold 640
to 1280 acres having all fenced and
largely improved. Since the recent
ruling of the supreme oourt adverse
to Texas it became almost a certainty
that the court will finally decide in
favor of the United States and
the land will become public domain.
In this case the people now there will
be able to hold only 160 acres each
and there will be many thousands of
acres of improved lands for other par-
ties. A large number of stragglers
from the recent Cheynne and Ara-
pahoe openings have learned this fact
and have gone to Greer county to
await the final decision of the court.
While many are acting fairly and
buying the surplus land from the
original settlers others are preparing
to jump the improvements made by
these people. Old settlers will not
stand this and are organized to pre-
vent it and protect their rights. The
boomers have also organized.
VENEZUELA.
VICTORY FOR THE REBELS.
Mabacaibo May 17. Confirma
tion of the capture of the city of Boli-
var by the insurgents has been re-
ceived here besides the killing of
General Rodil. General Lucio Espi.
nosa government chief in Altoo Ori-
nico was made prisoner at Bolivar.
The rebel chieftain Gonzales rode into
Bolivar at the head of a column of
cavalry nearly 1000 strong. Espinosa
who was in command in Rodel's ab-
sence made as good a defense as he
could but after a light brush with
Gen. Gil surrendered as did 200 troop-
ers uuder him. The men immediately
enrolled themselves under insurgent
banner. A few were killed or wound-
ed on both sides. On the second day
alter Gil's raid Gen. Rodii re entered
the city w ith- a large number of re-
cruits and veterans. Exasperated at
the state of things in Bolivar he con-
demned half a dozen military officers
whom he found in the city to be shot
because they had not defeated the
rebel raiders. Rodil with 200
mounted men proceeded up the right
bank of the Oriuoco to locate the in-
surgent camp on the left bank. Be-
fore reaching a point which he thought
nearly opposite to where the rebels
were encamped his troops revolted
took him prisoner and demanded im-
mediate countermanding of the order
to shoot certain of their comrades at
sunset. Rodil refused to give the or-
der and was shot. The soldiers rode
back into Bolivar and found the town
in the hands of insurgents who had
taken it without firing a single shot.
One of Rodil's guard rode into town
with the general's head on his saber.
Gen. Gil ordered the head and body
interred. Gen. Gil now occupies Bol-
ivar with 200 well armed men. Among
the important government officers
killed lately in the Andes section was
Gen. Manuel Vincento Komero liar
cla a brave officer and man of educsv

Special to The Statcsmau.
Fobt Worth Tex May 17. Gov-
ernor Hogg spoke here today. The
only new matter in his speech was in
regard to land titles. He said Judge
Clark says if he is elected gov-
ernor he will recommend in his first
message to the legislature that the
title to those lands be made good-
validated in the persons now holding
them. He proposed to do so upon the
assumption that they have been
patented and are in the hands of in-
nocent purchasers.
If I am elected governor I shall not
be in favor of an act that will impair
the rights of the state to recover what
legitimately belongs to her in this re-
spect. She has already recovered
87000 acres of land from one railway
company without disturbing the
claim of any individual. There are
millions of acres of this land unpat-
ented held by certificates located on
them that are now in the
land office held and owned
by the railway companies them-
selves or by their stockholders
and officers. There are a few of them
patented and in the hands of inno-
cent purchasers. If a man is an inno-
cent purchaser the law will protect
him. If perchance he is upon a sec-
tion of land affected- by the sidings
and switch issue than the legislature
has the power to pass a law giving
the person in possession of lands by
virtue of patents issued by the state
exclusive right to buy them within a
renronable time at a nominal cost.
In this wav the individuals who
have been deceived by the railway
companies could be protected. It is
unjust however for the corporations
and their officers who yet hold these
lands to take them from the state in
violation of law. I shall favor a law
that will probate the further issuance
of patents fo railway companies and
their officers who hold these lands
until thev have returned to the state
ehe full amount of lands they have
illegally taken from her. in ail
the efforts of the sharp land
agents and corporation defenders
I have not heard of nor
seen an attempt to point out to the
people a single railway company anu
its officers organized as a land corpor
ation who owns an acre of this land.
They have struggled hard to find
some actual settler or some citizen on
a section of that land la a few in-
stances only they have succeeded.
Without any effort on my part I can
point to more than one company and
its officers organized as a land cor
poration that holds millions of acres
of unpatented land and if pressed
will disgorge the amount due the
State for sidings and switches.
TRAIN ROBBER CONFESSES.
The Entire Gang Who Tried to Rob the Katy
Now in Jail.
Special to The fitatesmau.
Temple May 17. O. P. Buchanan
one of the parties accused with at-
tempting to rob tne train on the Mis-
souri Kansas and Texas railroad last
week and arrested last night made a
full statement of the affair today. He
said that himself Chas. Ward Will
Ward. Ben Ward a gambler whose
name is Henry Russell and commonly
known as "Seven Up" and a
brakeman whose name is Frank-
lin but who goes by the
name of "Dead-Eyed Dick"
were the six persons who attacked the
train and shot into on two occasions
near Temple recently and that their
object was to rob the train and pas-
sengers; that the plans were deliber-
ate and well matured but failed in
their execution. He exonerates Bad
Miller who was arrested last night as
one of the gang. Miller coroborates
Buchanan largely.
He says he knew of the Intentions
to rob the train; that the others tried
to get him into it but he declined.
All circumstances corroborated Miller
and Buchanan and conviction of the
other defendants seem certain. They
are in jail thanks to the vigilance of
our officers to whom the credit for
the arrest of the whole gang and the
collection of such strong evidence is
due.

Omaha Neb. May 17. The genial
face of Bishop Bowman shons behind
the presiding officer's desk today in
the Methodist Episcopal general con-
ference. The committee on itineranoy
brought in a report reoommending
the abolishment of the five year limit
on appointment pastors. The report
favored the idea of permitting bishops
to appoint pastors every year without
reference to the place to which minis
ters have been assigned the year pre
vious. A motion was made to make
a report on special order at 10 o'clock
Wednesday and it was carried.
The order of elections was then tak
en up. Dr. Goucher moved that elec
tions of secretaries of Freedman's Aid
society be postponed until Thursday
because the committee was not ready
to report. Adopted. The order ot
taking up elections to be as follows:
Agents of the Book Concern at New
York; agents of the Book Concern at
Cincinnati; secretaries of Missionary
societie-; secretaries of Freedman's
Aid and Southern Educational soci-
ety; editor Methodist Review and
editors Advocate at New York Cin-
cinnati Chicago and San Francisoo.
The committee on the state of the
church brought in a 'report that
fairly bristled all over with
denunciation of "outrages practiced
upon the colored race in the South."
It called upon the government state
officials the Methodist church and all
good oitizens to arise in their might
and abolish the indignities and out
rages put upon the oolored people and
all white people who love the work
for the elevation of the colored race in
the Southern states. The resolution
declared the colored people were treat-
ed shamefully on railway trains and
in hotels and in every way. They
were shot down like dogs and the law
of the land trampled under foot by
people who despised the colored race.
The report was adopted by a rising
vote every delegate In the conference
rising to his feet.
The order of the day was then call-
ed. Election of officers: For agents
of the book concern at New York Dr.
Myley nominated Dr. Sanford Hunt
and Homer Eaton. Mr. Field of Phila-
delphia wanted to ask a question.
The chairman decided he was out of
order. He persisted in his demand
that he should be heard on a question
of privilege. He was called to order
by the chairman it he had been
given the floor he would have ex-
ploded a bomb. It was a business
boom touching the management of
the New York concern. Mr. Field
had figures in his possession showing
that the great book concern at New
York with a capital of $2000000 had
only made a net profit of $40000 per
annum during the past four years.
Mr. Field wished to ask if that was
considered good business ability.
Another strange fact in the business
of the book concern Field holds is
that while the house did a business of
$900000 last year the amount of
money on the books and uncollected
is over $600000. Di.Hunt says he
could explain all this matter to the
satisfaction of all reasonable men if
he had a hearing. A large amount of
capital of the New York book concern
he says is locked up in the building
used by other departments of the
church and brings in no rents. He
says the whole capital of the concern
has been made from nothing and the
debt does not represent money sunk.

Special to Tho Statesman.
CParis Tex. May 17 For thirty-
six hours Red River has risen steadily
and rapidly and the guage at Arthur
showed 32 feet of water at 6 o'clock.
Tonight the waters have spread out
over the bottoms until the streams are
from one to three miles wide and pre-
sents the appearance of a great inland
sea. The waters are pouring down
the streams like a mill race and on
their booms are Immense quantities of
timber and other debris. Many of the
most valuable farms in the Sou th are
now lying under several feet of water.
A few days ago fine crops of corn
and cotton were growing upon them.
Horses and cattle in great numbers
have been caught in the bottoms and
drowned and swept away. In many
places the river is changing its bed
which means the annihilation of
thousands of acres of land.
