THE NEW ORLEANS CRISIS

We note from special telegram tt
the Shreveport Times that affairs in
New Orleans are still in great con.
fd'iol, and much excitement prevails
around the State House. The Senate
Chamber has been barricaded, and
bars and bolts put on all the doors and
windows. There are about two hun
dred policemen occupying the build
ing. The despatch states that the
House on the next day will appoint
one hundred, more assistant Sergeants.
alarms. y The Times states that KEEL.
logg will be impeached and that he
has committed acts that would send
him to the penitentiary before a de.
centpcourt. Affairs as indicated by
these kilograms are truly In a critical
condition and it is not improbable
that riot and bloodshed will follow.

We understand that some Of the
friends of the Texas Pacific road are
opposed to pushing the bill to vote
this winter, assigning as II reason that
the Presidential election Is so near at
hand that 1t would be policy to keep
this question out of the canvass.
And besides, the members Of the pres
ent Congress want II put over until
after the nominations are mnde, which
Will be some time next Fall
We do hope that such trllling con-
sideratlons will not defer this import
ant question any longer. lfmembers
of Congress have not the courage to
vote for proposition that they think
Is right, for fear they may offend the
croakers, who always criticize and
find fault with the votes of their mem
beers on all important question, let
them step down and out, and the
people will fill their places with men
who have the courage to do their
duty. The question rs to whether
n railroad should be built to the
Pacific ocean on the 32d parallel has
been discussed, and By some OF the
uUleSb iuiuuS bllIS COulbTy over pro
duced, ever since 1913, and the people
are AZ familiar with this question to-
day as they ARE likely to be at any
time In the future.
The National Railroad Convention
that met here in November was repre-
scented by tweniy.seven States and
Territories, and was regarded as one of
the ablest of the kind that ever assem-.
bled. They urged Congress to pass the
bill that Is now before them at once !;
not to consider II this session and pass
1t the.neXt--but said, in unmistakable
tones, the people demand it at once.
The country Is languishing, in COM
mercial sense, ~ II never has before
The monopoly that now controls the
trans-contineptal commerce Of the
country never was 80 eXactlng and OPP
Dressive ~ now. The country needs
the precious ores Of Arizona and Mex
leo more keenly than ever before.
That they cannot he obtained only by
the building of that road, all admit.
In fact, the people expect some relief
from Congress this session, and this il
the only measure before 1t that offers
any. Pass the Texas Pacific bill, and
none will be afraid of the croakers. -

we note from our exchanges that
the Colorado CONSTITUTIONAL Conven-

The Snltan,S IrOneiadS.

The late Sultan Abdul-Aziz was justly
proud of the magnificent ironclads he
had acquired-so proud that he always
kept them moored within sight of his
palace, that he might feast his EYES
upon them, and invariably requested
all foreign naval officers who came to
Constantinople to inspect them. Among
these officers was Sir Hastings Yelvefton,
when in command of the Mediterranean
feet. Sir Hastings found the vessels
in admirable order, and the crew in @
high state of discipline but, on in
quiring when they went to sea, he
learned that they never did SO at all.
Shortly afterward he had an audience
of the sultan, who asked his opinion of
the ironclads. Sir Hastings replied,
through the interpreter, that they were
as good as any he knew, and that the
crews were in excellent training, but
that he would respectfully suggest to
his majesty that it would be well to
send them to sea at least once year for
practical maneuvers. The sultan had
this repeated and translated to him q
second time, as though he doubted the
correctness OF what he heard and then,
raising his hands and his eyebrows, he
calculated: "What Send my iron

The Chinese.

The commissioners who are taking
testimony in California as to the Chi
nese mainly hear expressions of local
prejudice but in Col. Hollister, one of
tho most extensive farmers in the State,
they secure witness ON the other side.
He said: 81 do not think there are half
enough Cinnamon in the State. am
in favor of letting all come that will.
L believe that in the cities the savings
banks have larger deposits from labor
ing men in proportion than in any other
State. In the country most of the earn
ings OF the white laboring men go down
their throats in whisky. The honesty
and sobriety of the Chinese are so ex-
emplary that have serious thoughts of
becoming pagan myself. The Chi
nese are generally healthy, and work to
the full extent OF their ability. They
shame our own people in habits OF
cleanliness. never met with China
man who desired to become q citizen,
but there is no reason why they would
not make as gooo citizens as any other
class of foreigners. Among the farmers
generally there is strong feeling in
favor of the Chinese. They are doing
most Cf the farm work in all parts OF
the State"

AnticOsti Island.

1t is believed that the Canadian gov
ernment will renew its efforts to colonize
Anticosti island-that narrow strip of
land which lies between the coast of
Labrador and Quebec. The surround
ing waters TEEN with fish, and the land
is said to be fertile in most parts of the
island. At present there are nearly q
hundred fishermen living in rnde but
comfortable cabins on Anticosti. These
have earned an ample livelihood by cur
ing fish and taking them in skiffs to
Gaspe bay, where their supply NOR
chants are located. A Quebec steamer,
ahe Napoleon Ill, runs to the island
once a month with fresh supplies for
the Lighthouse keepers and employees
aud for the agents of the Anticosti Colo
nization Company. Three years ago a
report was circulated that gold had
been found there, but it was entirely
unfounded.

Winter Furs and Their Prices.

The most splendid and costly furs are
Russian sable, sea otter and black and
silver fox. The Russian sable is the
finest OF all the martens, and, since it is
not very prolific, its skins are costly.
the best and darkest are obtained in
Yakootsk, Kamtschatka and Russian
Lapland.
A muff Of "crown Russian sable +" is
now worth in New York from 81, 100
down to $500. Sets (by which is meant
highest quality cost $500 to $3.50. Sets
of sea otter are valued at $3.50 to $3.50,
and sets of black and silver fox at $100
to $3.50. These high priced furs are
bought only by the rich, and are not
generally fashionable.
A chinchilla muff and boa cost from
$50 to $50.
New York and Canada minks are the
which once were sold for $l25 to $3.50,
can now be bought for $100. The fur
of the skunk, described by trade as the
Alaska sable and suddenly popularized
few years ago, is still in fas5i on and
sells at from $40 to $25 the set.
The most beautiful sealskin sacks
(though perhaps not the most durable),
made of "pup Shetlands' skins, sell
for $500. The best Alaska sacks bring
$l25 to $3.50. Seal sacks, American
dyed, can be bought for $50, 800 and
500.
Sicilienne sacks and dolmans are lined
with the skins of Siberian squirrels,
whose beautiful gray backs and lighter
colored bellies make a pretty shifting
contrast. Such sacks, with border of
squirrel edging, are set off by fancy o1i-
dized clasps, and are fixed at $l25 to
5160. .-- ...
