WASHINGTON, September 15.-The Admin
| istraton seems still without official advice
from Louisiana. The coup dEtat is fully con-
.frmed. Within the five days allowed by
| the proclamation it is supposed the govern
| ment, under the new auspices, will be fully
established. The best opinion is that at the
| end of five days, finding all quiet, the Gov
eminent will let things rip. No one here
| knows of any constitutional machinery BY
which the Kellogg government can be re-
| stored.
During the troubles in Louisiana the At
| torDey-General has been receiving frequent
dispatches from Marshal Packard, until about
| 10 O'Clock this morning, when they ceased ;
which fact led the Attorney General to sup.
cepted by the Penn faction. To test the fact
he sent a dispatch to Packard about l O'Clock
TO. day. requesting an immediate nswer, but
|
| at which he left his Office.
