nouncucJ that ho was dead.
Joseph Ij. " Williams was the next witness.
* JIo was with the lost witness and
finw the whole niTalr. ills testimony
was corroborative of tbo foregoing
up to the point when Shorty withdrew
into the small room. According
to this witness Connors persuaded Gushing
to put down a coffee tup. with which ho In
tended 10 bit Shorty , and told tihn that if ho
must flght ho should "fight square. " While
ho was talking to him in tills strain , both
loaning against the lunch counter , several
feet fiom the door at the loom vvbero Shorty
was , the liittor came out nud walked up be
hind Connors. Ilo reached around In front
of the latter nnd struck him twice. The wlt-
tiC33 saw the knlfo in Shorty's hand , but did
tot know Connors had been stabbed Cush-
Inpstnitcil out , but 1'lanncry ntoppca him ,
saying , "You've ROtto licht , Shorty. " They
flinched nnd Shorty ran up and stabbed
Gushing In the back nnd then ran up-
Gtnirs. Connors sat donn on a chair nnd
novcr uttered n word after ho was
Atruck. Ho Ulou sitting up and leaning
pgalnit the wall. Tno witness was posltho
that Connors and Shorty ere sober. Ho

That commerdfrt treaties vlll constitute an
Important part of the work of the stale de
partment during the next few months thcro
inu bo no doubt. The senate , In cxccu *
the less ion thl < afternoon , adopted
without n quibble nn incrc.no ot
$10,000 for the secret fund of the state do-
pnrtment , nnd it Is understood this is to bo
expanded tn negotiating commercial treaties.
The secret session of the senate lasted
four hours and n half , and , elnco
It was noised about tbo capltol soon
after Iho doors were closed , that
nn increase of tlio secret fund for the
state department was the subject under dis
cussion , it was presumed that thcro must bo
n democrat light pending ntfalnst Secretary
nialne. When the doors were opcnod a
democratic senator who was accosted on the
worlc of the secret session said !
"There was no cabal over the increase of
tlio seirot funu for the state donirtment. It
wai cranted without a word of protest. "
Since tbo ptcsitlcnt and his secretary of
utato have demonstrated the practicability of
commercial treaties nnd shown that thcso
avenues of Undo relations can be opened ,
tno obstructions which \\cro supposed to
stand in tlio way of ttio worlc upon a largo
scale nro disappearing , Ivluch to the sur
prise of the luptiblicans , the democrats nra
not fighting against Increased facilities for
this work. The increase of the secret fund
for the state di-pirtincnt amounts to some
thing HUe t ! > 00,000 nnd , It Is behoved
that this will bo ample to perfect all the com
mcrclal treaties dcsirod and thnt n half do/cu
or inoro countries will como Into our trade
combinations by presidential proclamations
within tbe next ninety days.
THE VACIST SECUBTAUYSIIir.
It is believed that the cabinet , at Its meet
ing tomorrow , will help the president In de
termining upon n secretary of the treosuiy.
'Iho president is icqulred by law to fill this
vacancy within thirty days from the time It
occuircd and therefore , the limitation of the
law expires with next week. Itv ill bo seen
that thcro Is no timoto k > io , as the sonata
muit have time to consider the nomination ns
well as to confirm It , nnd the nominee will
want n little tinio wttniu which to arrange
hii affairs before cntrilng upon his ofllcial
duties
Ux-Assistant Postmaster General Clarltsoii
of Iowa was among the-callcrs on tbo picsl-
dent , today , nud when ho emerged from the
\\hltohousotnorcport was circulated that
bo had been tondued the treasury portfolio ,
but thcro can bo found no sUtomuct In ofll
cial circles to conllrm tins icport and lend to
the conclusion that ho Is booked for
the plnco at the capltol. This
afternoon it was runiorcd that
Hcprou'iitatlvo Jon Cannon of Illinois was to
bo tendered the position , jet there can bo
fouud , outside of his congressional friends ,
no mention of bis name for the plauonlthough
ho is conceded to have strong qualifications
for tbo position. Ohio republicans aio con
tending tint ox-Governor Foster of their
state , having passed the crucial test
and being In every vny highly fitted for the
place , will bo tendered the ofllcc. There can
bo nothing learned definitely as to who the
president expects to appoint. Ho wants a
western man , however , and ono who Is in ac
cord with the financial situation and such a
ono Is to bo doubtless chosen.

The fact that this is a republican adminis
tration never i ecclvect a better oxorapllflca-
tion than was shown today by the
response to nn inquiry nt the post-
ofllco department regarding : trio Boston
postofllco flght. This has boon a vcrj
intereatinp contest because It , vai n fight be
tween civil service reformers who desired the
retention of General Coroc , of Altoona Pass
fame , and the straight out republicans who
wore first for a political frioui and after
wards for nny straight out republican ,
but In no case for a civil service
reformer era mugwump. Despite the fact
that Qcnoial Coroo has bad , behind his ap
plication , the Influence of Senator Hoar and
the civil service toformors and mugwumps hi
the old 13ay slate ho will not secure tbo
plum. It was said at the postolllcc depart
ment today :
' When It comes to n choice between a
straight out republican and a mugwump the
administration Is in favor of. the republican. '
This Is understood to bo significant by Mr.
Coroo's friends and disposes of him. The ap
pointment will shortly be given to either ex-
Mayor T. N. Halt , \\lio was twice elected
mayor of Boston , but Uofeatcd by a democrat
at tliolast election , or to Henry A. Thomas
who has distinguished himself both us i
straight out republican and an elllcient ofllcot
in the position of superintendent of mails h
the Boston postoQlcc.

The Commercial club of Kixns.-w City , recog
nizing the advantages of houston , the Texas
metropolis , has accepted the Imitation of the
Commercial club of ttio latter city to visit It
upon the occasion of the next excursion , oc
curring in the first part of next month , says
the Dally Star.
Houston , situated upon the Buffalo bayou
or rhcr , Is fifty mile * from the sort and fifty
fcot ubovu the sea level , having n population
of 40.000 people within the nlno squnro miles
embraced within the city limits , and this num
ber Is being frrcatly Increased by the largo
number of homcscckcrs arriving in the city
dally.
Yet there Is no boom ; It Is a steady , healthy
growth , due to the excellent financial condi
tion of the city. For example , the First Na-
tlotinllmnltof Houston stands unprecedented
among the banks of .America as havltiR never
borrow cd a dollar , never rcdlscountcd a bill ,
never Issued a dollar , Its surplus being1 tulco
Its capital stock , its deposits sixteen times
Its capital stock , and its president claims
that It can loan Its money at 2 per cunt and
pay a It ) per cent dividend to its stockhold
ers.
ers.Tho city's ' binldne capital Is $3,500,000 ,
wlillo the clcarhiff bouso reported fiom
fl,500UOO , to W.OOO.OOO worth of business
trans icted weekly , ranking It nt the bead in
banking1 clearings of any city In the United
States having 40,000 population.
Houston is pre-eminently the working-
man's city. In the tlmo of booms real estate
Is placed nt fictitious values , the cost of living
Is high , while wages are not Increased pro-
portlonatclr , nnd the laborer is unable to
: opo n'ith the high prices. But in Houston
horols no boom nnd the mechanics can live
iheapor there than In any place hi Texas ana
or noarlv one-half what it costs in the noith.
A $500 bouso tbeio Is as comfortable as nny
1,000 house in Kansas City. Building niite-
lul is clioiu , for thcro aio vast forests ot
Ino nnd vuhiablo hard woods at the very
oor. VcffOtables and meats are sold at less
Imu one-half the prices of the north. Keuts
.nil . fuel mo both low. The unrm winter rc-
.uircs but little 11 ro for heating purposes and
luis an important Item of expense Is saved.
Already eleven railroads , employing over
! , OOJ men In Houston nlono , tire in operation
itid llvo more hu\o had dinners granted
.hem , Houston is a terminal point nnd tlie
.hops nnd general ofllecs of nearly all of
; hcsoronds are located licio.
OverSifiO.OOOIs distributed monthly from
lie railroad otllccs alone , while from the 2SO
actoiles , manufactures nnd other Industilal
lomnanlos employing men over twenty thou-
aml people get their daily bread. The wages
paid are higher than these paid in Missouri ,
.Cans.is or Nebraska
Examination of the ficlslit tariffs from nil
points to Houston by railroads , steamships
and sailing vessels , will show that Houston
has territory around her In o\ery direction of
" 00 miles , over which she ran do business
practically without competition , thus making
nor the host jobblngaud manufacturing point
'n Texas.
The saving of wharfage and lighterage by
navigation on the Buffalo river ana the ex
cellent railroad facilities have made Houston
.ho largest interior rottoii market in the
.vorld , as well as causing her to bo an Itnpor-
ant point for the shipment of freight.
A wltloilold is open hero for enterprises ,
such as cotton nnd woolen factories , Hour
mills , furniture , sash and door plants , ma
chine shops , tar shoos , wagon and plow
works , and , in taut , for any line of business.
Money Is abundant , banking capital ninplo ,
rates of interest reasonable , the citizens pub-
"Ic spirited and up with the times.
Of the thirty-four largest American cities
Houston has the lowest death rate.
Mr. O.V. . Crawford , secretary of the
Houston Commercial club , will answer nil
nquinos regarding the city nnd Harris

Uov. J. A. Henderson advocated the adop

ho was in favor of disbanding.
Nearly all present took a hand In the dis

| The claims of cocoa as a useful article of diet are steadily
| winning recognition. Unlike tea and coffee , it is not only a
stimulant but a nourishcr ; and it has the great advantage of
leaving no narcotic effects. Hence it is adapted to general
use. The strong may take it with pleasure , and the weak
with impunity.
