The Pensacola Gazette of the 22d states that the
United States ship 81. Mary's, day or two pre-
vious, was dispatched from that port for Mexico
with "person Of some distinction as passenger.
The Message Of the PRrsIpENT solves the mys-
terry in part by stating that distinguished citizen
Of louisiana" had already sailed for Mexico in the
capacity Of Envoy Extraordinary and Minister
Plenipotentiary and the Union Of Wednesday
finishes the revelation by informing us that z the
distinguished citizen of Louisiana is the Hon.

Representative elect to the present.
So far from objectng to this mission, our readers
already know we heartily approve il; and we see
no reason TO doubt that the gentleman selected will
discharge worthily the trust rePosed in him. We
cannot help thinking, however, that after waiting
until within two weeks Of the meeting Of Congress,
it would have been no more than respectful to the
Senate had the President taken time to obtain the

! In The United States Gazette, Commercial! Adver-
tiser, and some other papers, Mr. Giet has been
assaled concerning the expenses Of delegation OF
Seneca Indians, brought to this city in 1898, and
provisions furnished at an Indian council near Buff
fao, that year. We are authorized to say, that the
delegation alluded to were not brought to this city
by MIR. Gilet, nor had he anything whatever to do
with their expenses, nor did he present an &C
count for such expenses. An Indian agent did pre-
SEPT similar account, nearly every item of which
was rejected by the accounting officers. Mr.. Gilet
did not furnish the provisions referred to, or have
anything TO do with Them He paid for them on
the legal reauisiton of the United States agent, on
being furnished evidence Of their consumption and
reasonable price, as his legal duty to do, The
council referred to- instead of lasting but nine days
as asserted continued several weeks; and instead OF
but eighty persons attending, many hundreds were
present, and were fed by the agent, as is usual on
such occasions-it being the agents, and not the
commissioners duty to attend to this branch of bust
ness. Mr.. Gillet was employed for longer and
different time than that stated He charged for his
personal services what the law of Congress author
lied, and no more. His accounts were finally set
tied at the time by the lawful accounting officers, in
pursuance Of the statute. These charges against
Mr. Gillet were made for electioneering purposes
in 1910, in northern New York, and were promptly
and fully refuted at the time. We have seen the
evidence on which this statement is made, and af-
firm that il is full and satisfactory. We are au-
thorzed by Mr. Gllet to say, that he will submit
these proofs to any editor who has published the
charges against him, or to any member of Congress
who wishes to know the whole truth.
Papers that have published these charges asaihs.
Mr.. GiIlet requested, as an act of common JUS
tice to him, to copy this contradiction.

toned to this new theatre. They have not caught
