Farmera’ Union Retains Him in an
Action for Lower Freights.
Austin, Tex., Nov. 16.—It wa-s
learned to-day from an authorita-
tive source that Ex-Gov. Hogg has
been retained by the Farmers’ Un-
ion of the State to represent them
before the railroad Commission
next spring upon the occasion of
the hearing to reduce and to adjust
the cotton rates in Texas.
The In ion is said to represent a
membership of 150,000 farmers and
Ex-Gov. Hogg will take care of
their interests.
It is definitely known that the
Commission will hold the hearing
in the spring and that it will con-
sider both a reduction in the cotton
rates and placing Galveston on a
mileage basis, as she has continu-
ously requested, and abolish the
differential.
Ex-Gov. Hogg, it is understood,
is in hearty accord with Galveston’s
desire to be placed on a mileage ba-
sis. It is recognized that the pros-
pective hearing will lie one of the
most important in years and the re-
tention of Ex-Gov. Hogg indicates
that the producers realize the
amount at stake and are fully alive
to the situation.

Headquarters of the Third Jap-
anese Army Before Port Arthur,
Nov. 16, via Fusan.— It is said that
a wound received by Gen. Stoessel
has necessitated his confinement in
a hospital, that he refused to relin-
quish the command of the garrison,
and that he has issued orders to the
troopss to die at their posts rather
than surrender.
It is said that the spirit of the
Russian troops has been dampened
by continuous work, the lack of sup-
plies and the hopelessness of their
ability to make any successful de-
fense of the fortress. It is said^
that many of the Russian soldiers
are readv to surrender, but that
they are kept at their posts by of-
ficers who threaten them with re-1____ _

This shows that the Russians are

The capture of the eastern forti-

of ’he fortress in a couple of weeks
unless the garrison there retires
to the isolated forts. This seems
improbable, however, and cold
