But the strictly commercial feature of it has to a large extent given way to the gigantic needs of the British army. Instead of river steamers, the wharf, 2000 feet long, is lined with English transports, under direct sue pervision of the English navy, West of the wharves is a_ strip of land varying from 100 to L50 acres, whereon are SO storehouses leased by Great Britain for the purpose of furthering their supply facilities from great export this port The. horse pasture covers about 10 aeres, and between 1500 and 2000 horses are there daily exercised and branded preparatory to. ship- ment The mule yards are further west and are enclosed by a huge shed, 1500 feet lang and 800 feet wide, The stock of mules number 3000 The live stock is cared for by a force of five veterinary surgeons, who hold commissions from the surgical de- partment of the regular army, Under them are from 50° to 75 hostiers, each of whom receive $1.50 a day.

Mis- souri, as usual, will lead the van. This inevitable and historic fatality to the dominant party incident to the accession of the vice-president to the presidency is already vexing the Republicans and will almost certain- ly defeat them in the comingelection. The popular branch of congress is likely to pass under Democratic con- trol. There seems to be a disposi tion among Democrats almostevery- where to get together and Democrat- ic harmony assures Democratic suc- cess. The air is already electric with manifestations of coming Democratic triumph. The city election of a week ago disclosed the hostile trend of public sentiment in Missouri against the policies of the Republican party. “This was emphasized yesterday by the results of the elections in the great cities of St. Joseph and Kan- sas City, “The Democracy of Missouri is united against the Republican poli- cies and favors a continuation of our magnificent educational wholly divorced from party control. “The Democracy favors continua- tion of that superb fiscal system, Women and Children Beg for Grains of Corn.

Johnston, of the Corpus Christi diocese, has received the fol- lowing from Rey. J. Ward, a man well acquainted with Zapata affairs: “Condition most serious; people suffering for food; no need to investi- gate; no means of travel; no proven- der, no animals to draw vehicles, The almost total lack of transporta- tion facilities is the gravest difficulty tobe overcome in relieving thestrick- en people with supplies. The nearest railroad to the county line is over 100 miles distant, and as all the horses in the county are dead, reseu- ers will have to furnish their own avimals and provide provender for them en route.” San Antonio, Corpus Christi, Laredo and other towns are making preparations to send relief. While there has been no organized effort on the part of the state government yet, Gov. Joseph D. Sayers will receive and forward all money and supplies that may be sent him, and the Globe- system, administered as to keep the state in harmony with the progress of the times and yet reduce our tax rate to the lowest of any state in the union. “The Democracy favorsa continua night areaforee of deputy sheriffs and private detectives, They are paid $3.50 a day.
