AN APPKAL TO GOV. HOGG FOlt AI1.

Topic.
Austin, Tex., July 1. Got. Hogg has
been appealed to earnestly in behalf of
the starving people of La Salle county,
eighty miles southwest of San Antonio,
on the Arkansas, International and
Great "Northern railway for aid to enable
them to reach the cotton districts where
they may find work. A call for food has
been issued also. The appeal gives a
hideous picture of the drouth and deso
lation in that section. In three years it
has not rained a drop. . The prairies,
once carpeted with rich grasses, are as
bare as a billiard table. The streams
have gone dry, and there is no water
anywhere. For any distance as far as
the eye can reach there is not a spot of
green-. "The sun, , reflected from the
white earth, makes the glare and heat
almost unbearable. Deer, turkeys and
other wild animals have left. . Even, the
familiar jack rabbit has disappeared.
All the cattle and sheep have been sold
and shipped into other states. Many of
the Mexicans are cowboys, or soldiers.
They have no means of subsistence, and
some of them have tried to farm it, but
the seed sown two. years ago remains
unsprouted in the ground. From La
Salle county alone 72,000 head of sheep
have been removed.
American Tea.
' Chicago Mail. The tea plant can be
grown as well in many . parts of the
United States as in any district of China,
and from experiments that have been
made it is believed -that the ' product is
quite as good in this country as in the
Flowery Kingdom. There is no prob
ability that American tea will ever com
pete with the Chinese article, for the
latter is manipulated by labor so cheap
that Americans would starve to death
on the wages. Until the American
laborer can live "on three or four cents a
day no one need expect that tea. will
become an extensive article of produc
tion in this country.
The Tub "t War.
Dallas Transcript. A number of
Dallas' fair daughters have caught, the
bicycle habit and may be seen quaran
tined under the screening shadow of the
ball ground and the. dusk of evening,

anybody. so long as their "habits" don't
get wound up in a wheel, as one did the
other night ; then something has to give.

Dispatch. .. The . steamer Dalles' City
went down to Warren's cannery at Cath
lamet Tuesday, and took on board 240,
000 cans for Warren's cannery , at ; Bon
neville. " The reason of this transfer of
cans is that but few fish are caught' just
now on the lower Colombia, while at
cascades, the fish wheels are catching
the fish by the ton, which are strung on
ropes and then fastened - to barrels and
allowed to float down the river, to be
picked up by men on launches, -who are
on the look oat for them...

every attempt was made to keep the

Elections , in England start in with
whoops, howls, and disorder.-- A mob at
Lambeth yesterday handled Stanley and
his wife shamefully. With the aid of
the police, however, the disturbance was
subdued, and by sheer power of lung
and perseverance, Stanley was able to
make himself heard for about twenty
seven minutes. Mrs... Stanley was
hooted down. The instant she turned
all restraint on the meeting vanished
and the crowd became a hooting and
fighting mob. Mr. Stanley hastily
started with Mrs. Stanley for the door,
and his supporters in the audience tried
to hurry after him.' They had to fight
their way to the door, through blows and
abuse, most of them coming out with
their hats smashed and their clothes
torn. The mob broke from the doors of
the hall with a rush and swept down on
Mr, Stanley's carriage. He had barely
got Mrs. Stanley inside when they were
upon him. Somebody grabbed him by
the arm to pull him back, but he tore
himself loose, jumped in and slammed
the door, and the mob followed, pulling
at the carriage doors, and trying to stop
the horses. They wrenched one door,
but before they could do more the driver
got his. horses into a gallop, and was
soon beyond their reach. Mrs. Stanley
was badly frightened. " She was almost
in hysterics w hen she left the hall, and
she screamed several times during the
mob's attack upon the carriage. -
Fruit in Portland.
Dispatch. Berries and: vegetables of
all kinds are now in the market. The
strawberry season is nearly over. Black

had at fair figures. Raspberries sell at
7 and 8 cents per box. Cherries are

and apricots from California which are

Son of a Xr Washerwoman in MH
wauttee Does Them up in True
Karliarian Styles.
Milwaukee, Wis., July 1. A reckless
colored fellow, (the son of- a washer
woman in this city, has been royally en- "
tertained of late in Toledo, where he re
presented himself to be 'the son of the
Zulu king, Cetewayo, and the rightful
heir to the throne of Zulu, land. Ae
soon as he struck Toledo he, commenced '
giving lectures for the benefit, he
claimed, of the heathen in Africa." Tip
po Tip was received with open arms by
the church people of the city, and se
cured admittance by virtue of his prince
ly atributes to some of the best families
in the city. - His cariosity to investigate
the interior of the houses was supposed
to be mere savage curiosity, and he was
allowed perfect freedom. It now turns
out that the wily Tip had two con
federates. They are Walter Rice and
Henry Wood. After Tir hadlocatedthe -houses,
Rice and Wood got in their work
as professional burglars, and the houses; -of
the upper-ten have been systematic
cally robbed of jewelry, money, etc., to
the extent of thousands of dollarsi The.,
trio are under arrest. . ("
Rev. Jr. Jackson Alive, - . '
V.Victoria, B. C, Julyl. A dispatcn
from Carlisle, Pa., to parties in Alaska', ,
says: Rev. Dr. Norcross has received a .
letter from Rev. Dr. Sheldon Jackson, '.
superintendent of missions and govern
ernment schools in Alaska, dated Oun- "
alaska, Alaska, March 23d, in which are
the words: "We reached here yester-,.
day, eight and a half days from Port
Townsend. The Bear is coaling and.
hopes to get off for the eeal islands
Thursday. The Methodist mission is
doing as well as could be expected. The
reindeer we left here are alive and doing
well." His letter wa written four days
after the alleged massacre was reported
at Juneau. The reindeer referred to--were
imported from Siberia a year ago'-
. A Possible Peter. -
Tilegram. Who is' "Funk,vof Ore
gon?" The dispatches say such a man ia
an advance delegate to the Omaha '
convention, and .that he is a Weaver
man. Is it possible that Oregon has v
sent a delegate to that convention who
is not for Oregon's governor for the pres
dential nominee? Mr. Funk, whoever
he is, ought to have state pride enough
to stick to Penuoyer, first,' last and be
tween, times. Especially when it is a
fact that our governor would really be
the strongest nomination the Omaha
convention could make. ' .. , . ' -

- Kipe for Re-volt.
Telegram! The talk of nominating
Senator Stewart for . president ' by the
third party may be all talk, as in the '
case of Gresham, though it is known
that he is ripe for revolt. He would
not make a particularly strong candi
date, except' in the silver- states, but
would carry them.
