The Election 0nlCers OF 81. Helena
Parish Charge that the Returns
Have Been Tempered with.
Armed White Leaguers stationed In
IN Adjacent Building 10 the
Returning Board.
The BOARD AdjOurns Until Eleven
O'Clock Tomorrow.

NEW ORLEASS, Decemb Der l4.-John
D. Davis, supervisor of registration,
and the six commissioners Of election
of ST. Helena parish, made atlidavits
before the returning board that the
election returns from that parish. now
in the hands of the returning board,
have been tempered with and changes
and alterations made in them since
they were delivered to the secretary OF
the board.
Mr.. Arroys offered the following:
Whereas, according to the sworn state
ment of the supervisor of registration
OF st. Helena parish, it is charged that
the returns filed 10y him have been
tempered with since the said returns
have been filed with this board,
Resolved, That this board shall, be-
fore acting upon said supervisors re-
turns, investigate these charges made
in the above statement i'll order that
the guilty parties may be dealt with ac-
cording TO law.
The resolution was adopted, and to-
morrow an investigation will be made.
Governor Wells proposed that the
Dun eounsellors submit all their evil
dence and examine all the atlidavits
relating to the contested parishes, and
then submit the whole to the board for
their action. To this reason they stated
that certain papers have been placed
among the records without their
knowledge, and the contents of which
they are not informed.
They requested that while the pro-
tested parishes are under consideration
and as each case is taken up that they
be notified so as to inspect the papers
in each case and see that none OF the
proof Offered by them has been abstrae-
ted or suppressed, nor that any new
contrary proof has been filed unknown
to them so that all the proof and none
other may be brought before the board
for its consideration. This request was
acquiesced in and the Carroll parish
returns taken up before anything had
been done.
A messenger came in and Whisper
ed something To the president, GOV
ernor Wells, who at once arose ami
stated that he had just been officially
informed that armed white leaguers
were stationed in an adjacent building
ready, at any moment, to disturb the
proceedings Of the board. He, there
fore, moved an adjournment until
eleven o'clock tomorrow.
Mr.. Morris Chester, colored men,
Der of the republican committee, sug-
gested that an adjournment would not
improve the matter, but would rather
tend to increase the excitement.
Mr.. Sloanaker suggested if the pres
ident had any fears of violence he
should call for United States troops to
protect the uoard, and that he, Mr.. s.,
had been informed that troops would
he furnished at once if desired.
Governor Wells said he did not wish
TO canvas the returns under the pro-
lection of United States troops and that
he did not intend to be inundated
Wells insisting upon it, the board ad-
journed until II O'clock tomorrow.
The military here are on the qul
vive by orders from Washington.

WASHINGTON.
Doubts as to the Confirmation OF tht
New Texas AppOinteeS.

WASHINGTON, December l4.-Hardee
has been appointed district judge Of
Louisiana by the president. He goes
to the senate to-day for confirmation.
1t is safe to say that there will be nc
change in the federal affairs OF Louis
lana.
The new appointments for Texas are
very shaky as to their confirmation by
the senate. The new appointees fail
to receive the support they expected,
the politicians whom they approac b
having private axes to grind.
Judge Swayne will not resign his seal
on the supreme bench.
King Kalaklua has been confined to
his hotel to-day but his health Is i'm
proving. He will probably be present
ed 10 the president tomorrow.

A OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

A CURIOUSCORR ESPONDENCE.
For fourteen years, a Spanish sovant
has been studying the subject Of the
flow Of sap in growing vegetation. A.
the result Of his Investigations, he puts
forth the theory that there is the same
ebb and flow in the circulation of sap
as in the movement of tides, and that
the action Of the two corresponds per
iectly IN point Of time. In applying
this theory to practice, the expcrim,n OF
claims that trees ieled at low tide resist
the decaying influences Of time and
weather for much greater time than
do those cut during the flow Of the
tide. Ia pruning trees at the ebb Of
the tide and Of the sap, an equal ad.
vantage is claimed. In applying the
principle TO orchards at the olive,
orange, lime and other fruits, which
had fallen into decay, it was found
that, by pruning them while the tide
was out, their health and fertility were
restored II is also asserted that trees
80 treated are rendered exempt from the
ravages OF insects and disease. Ex-
perlments made with different sets OF
silk worms, respectively fed on leaves
of trees, treated by the ordinary and by
the new systematic leaves, under the
new system, being gathered exclusively
at the hours corresponding to the ebb
tide--resulted most decidedly in favor
Of the latter.
