THE SITUATION IN EGYPT-The British Prepared to {suppress an Out-break at Any T,me. London, Jan. 24.-—Some surprise was expressed yesterday over the news from Cairo that Lord Cromer has ex-pressed himself so confidently in re-gard to the suppression of any out-break that might occur. To-day ad-vices give grounds for Lord Cromer’s confidence. His lordship is assured of tjic entire fidelity of the native Egyptian army to the British cause, and with the British army of occupa-tion co-operating with the natives, it is believed that any attempt at insur-rection will be promptly crushed. Cairo dispatches say Lord Cromer called upon the Khedive this morning to inform him that the British cabi-net had ordered an increase .of the British garrison. The dispatch does not state how the Khedive received the news. The latest dispatches from Cairo state that the hostility of the Khedive toward the English shoows n sign of abating. In answering the threat uttered by Lord Cromer to the effect that a complete change in regime might be necessary in the’ event of disturbances to the British authori-ties, the Khedive replied that he only yielded to force. The Khedive has been stregthened in his attitude of antagonism toward the English by deputations from provinces headed by local officials hostile to British control. These deputations have addressed the Khedive in flattering language, congratulating him upon his opposi-tion to the English. The French View of the Situation. Paris, Jan. 24.—The sensation in France over the action of the British in Egypt i3 increasing. The course taken by England is looked upon as proving the determination of Great Britain to persist in the occupation of Egypt. Newspapers unanimously call upon the government to vindicate the rights of France. A Royal Marriage. Vienna, Jan. 24.—The marriage of the Archduchess Margaret Sophie and Duke Albreght of Wurtenhurg, was solemnized to-day in the church of Hofrath. Cardinal Crischa, arch-bishop of Yienna officiated. The wed-ding was one of great brilliance, being attended by Emperor Francis Joseph, several archdukes and archducheses, the king and queen of Wurtemburg and other members of the roayal fam-ily of Wurtemburg. Another Train Wreck. Newark, Jan. 24.—It is reported that a passenger train on the Pennsyl-vania railroad was wrecked this morn-ing near-New Brunswick and that an express messenger was killed. THEY WANT TO DAM IT, MEANING THE BRAZOS RIVER ABOVE WACO, V________ And Have Asked Cer ain Privileges The Hobson Company—Local Option Other Bills Introdueed-Prcceedings Austin, Jan. 24.—[Special]—The bills presented simultaneously to the house and senate, by Mills of Me- Lennan and McKinney of Milam respectively, granting certain rights and franchises to the Hobson com-pany to construct a dam across the Brazos at Waco, are meeting with no opposition and are likely to become a law. The company which contem-plate making this improvement wants the grant from the state in order to give it certain riparian rights that it might not have the benefit of as pri-vate individuals. With the authority from the state to construct, will go the right to condemn in the usual way. Representative Mills is watching the bill in the house closely and will see that favorable and speedy action is taken. Waco an 1 That Court. Austin, Jan. 24.—[Special]—The judiciary committee in both houses have invited committees of Waco citi-zens to come before them for the pur-pose of urging their claims for an ad-tional district court and to set forth, from a Waco standpoint, the reason for the creation of three additional supreme judicial districts with the lo* cation of one of the courts at Waco. Wednesday has been appointed as the day when Waco will be heard. A good working committee should he sent which will present in a clear and plausible light the reasons why Waco should have her' wants conceded. A sub-committee should remain in Aus-tin until the matter is finally settled, or until there appears to be no good reason for further effort. Senator Lewis on Local Option. Austin, Jan. 2.—[Special.]—Dur-ing the discussion in the senate over the Kearby local option bill, Senator Perry Lewis made a strong and elo-quent appeal for justice and fairness that made a profound impression upon the senators. This was the point he made: He urged that, after an elec-tion for local option, was decided in the negative in a county election, pre-cincts or sub-divisions, should not be allowed to call an election again un-der one year, for the reason that if the election were decided in the affirma-tive, precincts could not, in less than two years time, call for an election in the county. He thought that what is ‘ ‘sauce for the goose should he sauce for the gander.” Mr. Lewis argued that local self-government was pre-em-inently Democratic, and he favored local option where the majority de-manded its benefits; but he did not think a rule wise or just that failed to work both ways. Senator Lewis makes a fine appearance while addressing the senate and his sympathvtic voied has a magnetic ring that commands the best attention whenever he speaks. Spooney Spectators. Austin, Jan. 24.—[Special.]—Be-sides the customary incidents that give variety to life about the capitol, there are often some very amusing things that happen among the visitors who are allowed upon the floor. This morning a couple, not altogether bu-colic, nor, perhaps, members of the elite, sat in the senate (luring several hours, with attention riveted on the debate then in progress. Whether partially hypnotized by the eloquence of the speakers or drawn close together by the mysterious influences of affinity and telaphy, they leaned upon one another, and with little less than being in fond embrace, they held each other’s hands and seemed happy. The hypnotic theory was strengthened when the cooing couple seemed undis-turbed by the spectators, whose atten-tion was finally attracted to them. Senator Bowser thought it was all right, if she was his girl; but bad, if she was some other fellow's girl. Dr. Lloyd’s Bill. * Austin, Jan. 24.—[Special]—Dr. Lloyd of Cherokee, is one of the old-est members in the house and is now serving his second term in -the legisla-ture. He has introduced a bill provid ing for an advalorem tax for general purposes of 12 cents. He says he prefers to see a treasury a little short of money than with a large surplus. The money should be in the hands of the people when not needed for actual or current expenses. He would have the school tax raised from 12J cents to the constitutional limit of 20 cents. Representative Lloyd talks freely and always with perfect frankness. He is opposed to that sentiment that actuates members or the governor in refusing the sugar bounty and will vote in favor of receiving whatever is coming to the state by virtue of the national bounty granted on sugar production. Steer Clear of Dissension. Austin, Jan. 24.—[Special.]—R. H. Harrison, of Waco, is at the Capi-tol and is working like a beaver in the interests of the courts which his peo-pie want. In a conversation he in-forms your correspondent that Waco is by no means out of the race for the location of one of the proposed civil courts of appeals. Judge Alexander is here also and thinks that there may be such a wrangle over the location of the courts that all legislation is likely to be defeated. The News Disseminators. Austin, Jan. 24.—[Special.] — There is a feature about the debate in the house of representatives on the newspaper resolution that will bear further elaboration. Those members who cry for economy will not infre-quently confess that personally they favor the distribution of as many newspapers as the conservative judg-ment of the legislature will allow at the expense of the state, but that they have certain constituents who oppose this expenditure of the public money, and they do not care to offend their sense of economy. They admit that the more enlightened and broadminded favor rather than disapprove the reso-lution. The question naturally arises; Do they care to justify their public acts to the intelligent or to the ig-norant and narrow-minded? It occurs to yciur.correspondent that any intelli-gent member, with that -influence with his people that he should have, ought not to have any difficulty in demonstrating to those who appear uninformed the incomparable value of these papers, fresh from the centers of legislative work. Representatives Kirk, Curry, Dills, Graham and many others are strong advocates of the pa-pers and their reputation for economy is already made. They are seconded by others equally broad and patriotic in their views on legislative subjects. Senate. Austin, Jan. 24.—[Special.]— Cranford nominated Mills, McComb, Atlee, Jester, Kearby, Pressler and Dean seconded. W. 0. Hutchinson nominated Nugent. The vote was 29 Mills, 1 for Nugent, with Boren ab-sent on account of sickness. To-mor-row, in joint session, the action of both houses will be confirmed. The internal improvement commit-tee of the house reported favorably to-day the Brazos dam bill. The following telegram was received to-day by Lieut.-Gov. Crane: “Washington, D. C., Jan. 24. President of tbe Senate. Permit me, through you, to express to the legislature and the people of Texas, my sincere thanks for the dis-tinguished honor this day conferred upon me, and to assure you and them that I accept with grateful heart and promise that ! will faithfully discharge the duties which the trust imposes upon me, and I will labor earnesMy to secure the rights and promote th wel-fare of the people of Texas and 0 the whole country. (Signed) R. Q. Mills.” House. Austin, Jan. 24.—[Special]—In the house the only business of any importance to-day was the election of Mills by a vote of 114. Nugent re-ceived eight and Cuney one. T. H. Henderson, of Milam, nomi nated and Finlay, ,Curry, Cochran, Hood of Parker, Onion, Fagan, Beall and Dills seconded. Floyd of Base nominated and Calhoun seconded Nu-gent. Some of the speeches were good, others indifferent and others had. Furm'rg’ Alliance Convention. Chicago, Jan. 24.—The annual convention of the National Farmers’ Alliance opened to-day. Twenty delegates were present. The states represented were Illinois, Ohio and Iowa. Take your watch, clock and jewelry repairing to Levinski’s. Good work and moderate charges. PRICE 5 CENTS THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. WHAT THE PEOPLE’S REPRESEN-TAT1VES DID YESTERDAY Wlio Will Succeed Lamar, Is the Question^ Military Matters—H13 Senate and House Adjourn Out of Respect. Military Affairs. Washington, Jan. 24.—The house-committee on military affairs has au-thorized Mr. Outhwaite to report the-bill to re-organize the artillery and in-fantry forces of the army, and in no-case to decrease their efficiency. The artillery is to consist of seven regi-ments of not more that twelve batter-ies each, each regiment to consist of one colonel, one lieutenant colonel, three majors, twelve captains, eleven first and ten second lieutenants, with the number of enlisted men now al-lowed by law. The infantry force to be re-organized into twenty-one regi-ments of not more than twelve com-panies, each regiment to consist of one lieutenant colonel, one colonel, three majors, twelve captains, eleven first and ten second lieutenants, and the enlisted force now authorized* by law. All original vacancies caused or created by this act are to be filled by promotion, by seniority according to length of service. The president i« give authority to authorize the enlist-ment of colored men and Indians. Companies of this kind are not to ex-ceed ten in any regiment. The ob-ject of the measure is to decrease the expense of these branches of service without impairing their efficiency. Who Will b© Lamar’s Successor. Washington, Jan. 24.—Speculatioa is already rife over the succession to Justice Lamar’s seat on the supreme bench. No partioular person who will he chosen is not considered so much, as the question whether the President will make a nomination or leave the matter open for Cleveland. It is cer-tain that a nomination by Harrison will be antagonized by the Democrats and defeated if possible. In view of that fact it is probable that the Presi-dent will take, no action, but he has come to no determination yet. Should he decide to nominate the probabili-ties are that a member of the United States judiciary within Lamar’s old circuit will be honored. Favoralb!© Action Taken on Territories Washington, Jan. 24. — The Repub-lican senatorial caucus this afternoon decided to take favorable action upon the admission of the territories of Oklahoma, Utah and New Mexico, but left Arizona out in the cold. The objection to Arizona is because of its immense debt and poverty of territory. It was agreed that the question of ad-mission be made the order of business to follow the discussion of the Nicara-gua canal bill and this is so low on the list that the chances for discussion of the bills to admit the territories is veryslim. The Senate Adjourned: • ^ Washington, Jan. 24. —The Senate has adjourned as a mark of respect to the late Associate Justice Lamar. Adjourned in Respect to Lamar Washington, Jan. 24.—The house, to-day refused to agree to the action to take up the sundry civil bill, then as a mark of respect to the memory of the late Justice Lamar, adjourned.

PRICE 5 CENTS THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. WHAT THE PEOPLE’S REPRESEN-TAT1VES DID YESTERDAY Wlio Will Succeed Lamar, Is the Question^ Military Matters—H13 Senate and House Adjourn Out of Respect. Military Affairs. Washington, Jan. 24.—The house-committee on military affairs has au-thorized Mr. Outhwaite to report the-bill to re-organize the artillery and in-fantry forces of the army, and in no-case to decrease their efficiency. The artillery is to consist of seven regi-ments of not more that twelve batter-ies each, each regiment to consist of one colonel, one lieutenant colonel, three majors, twelve captains, eleven first and ten second lieutenants, with the number of enlisted men now al-lowed by law. The infantry force to be re-organized into twenty-one regi-ments of not more than twelve com-panies, each regiment to consist of one lieutenant colonel, one colonel, three majors, twelve captains, eleven first and ten second lieutenants, and the enlisted force now authorized* by law. All original vacancies caused or created by this act are to be filled by promotion, by seniority according to length of service. The president i« give authority to authorize the enlist-ment of colored men and Indians. Companies of this kind are not to ex-ceed ten in any regiment. The ob-ject of the measure is to decrease the expense of these branches of service without impairing their efficiency. Who Will b© Lamar’s Successor. Washington, Jan. 24.—Speculatioa is already rife over the succession to Justice Lamar’s seat on the supreme bench. No partioular person who will he chosen is not considered so much, as the question whether the President will make a nomination or leave the matter open for Cleveland. It is cer-tain that a nomination by Harrison will be antagonized by the Democrats and defeated if possible. In view of that fact it is probable that the Presi-dent will take, no action, but he has come to no determination yet. Should he decide to nominate the probabili-ties are that a member of the United States judiciary within Lamar’s old circuit will be honored. Favoralb!© Action Taken on Territories Washington, Jan. 24. — The Repub-lican senatorial caucus this afternoon decided to take favorable action upon the admission of the territories of Oklahoma, Utah and New Mexico, but left Arizona out in the cold. The objection to Arizona is because of its immense debt and poverty of territory. It was agreed that the question of ad-mission be made the order of business to follow the discussion of the Nicara-gua canal bill and this is so low on the list that the chances for discussion of the bills to admit the territories is veryslim. The Senate Adjourned: • ^ Washington, Jan. 24. —The Senate has adjourned as a mark of respect to the late Associate Justice Lamar. Adjourned in Respect to Lamar Washington, Jan. 24.—The house, to-day refused to agree to the action to take up the sundry civil bill, then as a mark of respect to the memory of the late Justice Lamar, adjourned.
