Telegraph,-The Washington cores
pondent of the Baltimore Patriot, has the
following interesting statement in reference
to proposed line Of Telegraphs from New
York to New Orleans:
81 have had great pleasure III meeting
with MIR. Robert E. Hudson, Of the Mer-
chants News Room, New York, and Mr..
Gonon, formerly of France, but more re-
Gently from Russia, who are now in this
city making arrangements for the estab-
lshment of a line of Tslegraphs from New
York to New Orleans. Mr.. Gonon and
his associate, VI. SerpeH, have, after many
years application to the subject, invented
an important system of Telegraphs, which
casts into the shade every thing of the same
kind that has yet been attempted. BY their
admirable plan, they can communicate
every kind Of information, word by word.
and punctuate the same, without using
more signals than words, and with as much
rapidty as a person can write, or even
speak They have received the most
hattering encouragement from those literary
and scientific gentlemen to whom they have
explained the system and not a doubt is
entertained that it will accomplish the pur-
poses of the inventors, and realise all that
has been anticipated from it. NJ. Gonon
assures me that lie will be able to commun-
icaie a despatch, of one hundred words,
from New York to New Orleans, in half an
hour and those who are thoroughly ac-
quainted with the system confirm his prom
ises. How elementary does every other
system appear in comparison Of that which
can accomplish such an object The i'm.
acinution is overpowcred in contemplating
the consequence. Of such an achievement

could not prescribe what political, or liter

that no evidence whatever was produced,

the grave charge of a violation of public

notice from the Treasury Department Of
the receipts and expenditures in January

million of dollars. Should il continue to
increase at that rate through the year,
though in truth it will probably diminish,
the whole accumulation in 1897 would be-
only abou, six millions.

New ORLEANS, APRIL 9th.
GREAT FIRE IN NEW ORLEANS.

Yesterday, there was almost ceaseless
alarm Of fire. The bells were rung some
ten or twelve different times, and we are
told that two or three houses were on fire,
in different parts of the city, before II o.
clock. About 2 o'clock the bells sounded
again. The cry of fire was heard through
the streets when il was discovered that a
grocery on the corner of the Railroad lead
ing to the Lake, and Casacalyo street, was
on fire. From this house the flames spread
with astonishing rapidity through the whole
square, leaving only some half dozen tene-
ments on the north side: the fire then cross
ed Marigny street and burnt all but five
buildings on the next square extending to
Manderville street.
This fire took effect from q spark from
the locomotive engine while running on the
Railroad. Neatly two squares were on fire,
and lO7 houses were consumed. About
I27 families were left destitute Of shelter,
&c, &c, and they were principally poor
people.
On this occasion, as in almost every 9th
or where large fires occur, "a good deal of
plundering and fighting was going on.
Some three or four persons were arrested
in the act of stealing and carried Of to the
Calaboose. One of the firemen received
wound by blow from IA sword, made by
some one in the crowd who was not dis

BUSINESS in NEW ORLEANS.

There are more indications of trouble n
mong the Commission Merchants. The
late decline in the price of cotton has al
most completed their ruin, but there are 4
or five commission houses that cannot be
injured, because they are comparatively free
from responsibilities and owe but little. Be-
side they have large capitals employed in
their business, but the remainder of the
commission houses will have hard strug-
Cling, if they get through.-Failures con-
tinue.
Affairs in general wear a very gloomy
aspect. There seems TO be a general want
of confidence. Business in every branch
is extremely limited. The sales which are
made continue to be in small quantities,
and for immediate wants. There purchas-
ers in market, both for their own account,
and for orders, but the want Of confidence
is so great, together with the difficulty of
negotiating paper of any kind, that the hol-
ders are unwilling to dispose of property ex-
cepting for cash.
