It was in the bedroom off the large room where the fight occurred and was on the floor between the bricks and the wall. A man called *Kan’' or “Kunsas,” who worked around the lodg- “ng house, told the witness that after the outting Shorty van up stairs and then came down again and went iuto he bedroom, He crept into one of he bunks behind & man who had retired and pulled his coat up over his head.

Wasmixarox Bunesv Tur Bre, % STREET, 3 Fountee it 3 Wasnixaros, D, C., Feb, That commereiM treaties will constitute an important part of the work of the state de- pattment during the next few months there can be no doubt. The senate, in execu: tive session this aftemoon, adopted without a quibblo an_ increase of £10,000 for the sccret fund of the state de. partment, and 1t is understood this is to be expended in negotiating commercial treaties, The secret session of the scnate lasted four hours and a half, and, eince it was noised about the ecapitol soon after the doors were closed, that an increase of the secret fund for the state department was the subject under dis cussion, it was presumed that there must be a democrat fight pending against Secretary Dlaine. When tho doors were opened 8 democratie senator who was accosted on the worlk of the sceret session sald : ‘“I'here was no cabal over the increase of the secrot funa for the state department. 1t was eranted without a word of protest.” Sincethe president and his secretary of state have demonstrated tho practicability of wrcial treatics and shown that these 10s of trade relations can be opened, obstructions which were supposed to of the work upon a large scale are disappearing, Much 1o the sur- prise of the republicans, the democrats are not fighting nst increased facitities for this work. The mcrease of the secret fund for the state department amounts to some: thing like 200,000 and, it is behieved that this will be ampleto perfect all the com mercial treaties desired and that a half dozen or more countries will come into our trade combinations by presidential proclamations within the next ninety days, THE VACANT SECKETARYSHIP. 1t is believed that the cabinet, at its mect- ing tomorrow, will help the president in de- termining upon a sccretary of the treasury. The president is required” by law to fill this within thirty days from the time it and therefore, the limitation of the law expires with next week, 1t will be seen that there is no timeto loso, as tho senate must have time to consider the nomination as well as to confirm it, and the nominee will want a little time within which to arrange h|in affairs before entering upon his official dut the stand in the way x-Assistant Postmaster General Clarkson of fowa was among tho callers on tho presi- deat, today, and when he emerged from the white house the report was circulated that ho had been tendeved the treasury portfolio, but. there can be found no statemect. i ofi- cial circles to confirm this roport and lead to the conclusion that he is booked for the place at the capitol, This afternoon §t_ was rumored that Representative Jos Cannon of Illinois was to bo tendered the position, yet there can be found, outside of his congressional friends, 10 mention of his name for the place, although he is conceded to have strong qualifications for the position. Ohio republicans are con- tending that ex-Governor Foster of their state, having passed the crucial test and bemg in every way highly fitted for the place, will be tendered the office. There can be nothing learned definitely as to who the president expects to appoint. He wants a western man, however, and one who s in ac- cord with the financial situation and such a one is to be doubtless chosen. NO MUGWUMP NEED APPLY. The fact that this is a republican adminis- tration mever received a better exemplifica- tion than was shown today by the response to an inquiry at the post- office aepartment regarding the Boston stofice fight. This has been a very nteresting contest becauseit yas a fight be- tween civil service reformers who desired the retention of General Coroe, of Altoona Pass fame, and the straight out republicans who were first forapolitical friend and after- wards for any straight out republican, but in no "caso for a civil service reformer ora mugwump. Despite tho fact that General Coroe has had, behind his ap- plication, the influence of Senator Hoar and the civil service reformers and magwumpsin the old Bay state he will not secure the plum. It was sald at the postoffice depart- ment today: ““When it comes to a choice between a straight out republican and a mugwump the administration is in favor of the republican.”” This is understood to be significant by Mr. roe's friends and disposes of him. Theap- pointment will shortly be given to either ex- Mayor T. N.

The above statement would be entirely uncalled for had not a prominent firm in Council Bluffs barefacedly advertised the Eiseman stock of carpets, curtains, shades and draperies.

Living Cheap, Wages High, Resources Vast—Now Isi the Tine to Make Inquiries Regarding the Me- tropolis of the South. Tho Commercial club of Kansas City, recog- nizing the advantages of Houston, the Texas metropolis, has accepted the invitation of the Commercial club of tue latter city to visit it upon the occasion of the next excursion, oc curring in the first part of next month, says the Daily Star. Houston, situated upon the Buffalo bayou or river, is fifty milos from the sea and fifty > the sea lovel, having & population of 40,000 people within the nine square miles embraced within the city limits, and this num- ber is being greatly increased by the large number of homeseekers arriving in the city daily. Yet therois no boom; it is a steady, healthy growth, due to the excellent financial condi- tion of the city. For example, the First Na- tionalbankof Houston stands unprecedented among the banks of America as having never borrowed a dollar, never rediscounted a bill, never issued a dollar, its surplus being twice its capital stock, its deposits sixteon times its capital stock, and its president claims that it can loan {ts money at 2 per cent and pay a 10 per cent dividend to its stockhold- ers, The city's banking capital is 500,000 while the clearing houss reported from #,500,000 to £,000,000 worth of business transicted weekly, ranking it at the head in banking clearings of any city in the United States having 40,000 population. Houston is pre-eminently the working- man's city, In the time of booms real estate is placed at fictitious values, thecostot iving is high, while wages are not increased pro- portionately, and the laborer is unable to cope with the high prices, But in Houston there is no boom and the mechanics can live cheaper there than in any place in Texas and for nearly one-half what 1t costs in the north. A %00 houso there is as comfortable as any $1,000 house 10 Kansas City. Butlding mate- rial is cheap, for there aro vast forests ot i ble hard woods at the ve door, bles and meats are sold at less than one-half the prices of the north, Rents and fuel are both low. The warm winter re- quires but little fire for heating purposes and thus an_important item of expense is s Already cleven railroads, employing over 2,000 men in Houston alone, are in_operation and five more have had charters granted them, Honston is a terminal point and the shops and general offices of nearly all of these roads are located hero. Over £260,000 is distributs the railroad offices alone, while from tho 250 factories, manufactures and other industrial companics employing men over twenty thou- sand people get their daily bread. The wages paid are higher than those paid in Missours, ICansas or Nebraska, Examination of the freight tariffs from all points to Houston by railroads, steamshins and sailing vessels, will show that Houston has torritory around her in every direction of 200 miles, over which she can do business ractically without competition, thus making er tho best jobbingand manuficturing point in Texas. “Tho saving of wharfage and lighterage by navigation on the Buffalo river and the ex- cellent railroad facilities have made Houston the largest interior cotton market in the world, as wellus causing her to be an impor- tant point for the shipmeat of freight. A wide fleld is open here for enterprises, such as cotton and woolen factories, flour mills, furniture, sash and door plants, ma- chine shops, car shovs, wagon and ' plow works, and, in fact, for any line of business, Money is'abundant, banking capital ample, rates of interest reasonable, the citizens pub- lic spirited and up with the' times.
