New ORLEANS, Sept. 29.-The repre-
tatives of the conservative party in Louis
lana and the Kellogg government, who
| have been in conference for some days
past, to- day announced an agreement, by
the terms of which the conservatives pledge
themselves to cause all violence and intim
idation to cease throughout the state, and
to assist the constituted authorities IN
maintaining peace and insuring strictly
fair and impartial registration and election
and to use every effort to bring to justice
those who attempt to use violence, or make
threats of personal violence, to control the
elections. An advisory committee OF hve
is constituted, Albert voorhees, and Il. j..
Burke being selected by the conservative
element. S. B. Packard and Is. +. Joub-
bert by the Republicans, and DR. NJ. T..
| Bonzeans being elected umpire by both
parties Jointly. This committee is to su
peryise registration throughout the state
on behalf of all parties. Gov. Kellogg
pledges himself of his own accord to act
upon the advice and suggestions of the ad-
| yisory committee so long as such advice is
legal. 1t is also agreed that two persons
shall be named by the representatives OF
the Conservative Peoples party who shall
be elected according to law and I'LL two
vacancies which shall be created by resig-
nation in the returning board. The polite
al complexion of the advisory committee is
VOORHEES, last ditch Democrat; Burke,
Liberal Republican, and avowed :hird ter
mite: Packard, Joubbert and Bonzeans
| Federal officials. The conservatives gener-
ally think they have gained but little by
the conference agreement. 1t IS now stat
ed that compromises will be made in every
parish in the state by the conservatives,
similar to that recently effected in Terre
Bonne parish. dividing the offices equitably
between the colored Republicans and white
Conservatives.
