The Prospect of the Conference.
WARSAW, Nov. N.-A Paris correspondent
Ut the Times, discussing the prospects of the
conference at Constantinople SAYS:
People even affirm that the Marquis of Sails
bury, English plenipotentiary though on prnci
pie opposed to foreign occupation, has not an
absolute predetermination even on that point.
he will discuss with an unbiased mind the
question of the collective occupation within
limits which cannot alarm the Porte, nor excite
the suspicious of any power. The Times openly
tavots a collective occupation. 1t says the oc-
cupying force should, in the case of each prov
1nce be procured from some power
which cannot be suspected of harboring any
designs upon the province in which it is placed
NO objection could be raised to this, as long as
the force furnished is trustworthy and efficient.
The jealousies of the guaranteeing powers and
the antipathy of the Porte may be allayed bv
the adoption of this salutary principle. A teIe-
gram from Ragusa says Nj. Jainin the Russian
representative in Montenegro, has started for
st. Petersburg in obedience to a teleeraphic
summons. The insurgent chief Mur:el has
been returned by the Austrian authorities at
Salono.

A female witness in Hartford court room

Yesterdays Session of the Returning
Board.


Board.
New ORLEANS, Nov 27.-The returning
board met at II o'clock. All the members
were present and there was large crowd in
the lobby. The visiting Republican committee
-Messrs. Stoughton. Van Allan, Kelley, Par
ker and Hale-and of the Democratic visiting
committee-Messrs. Palmer, Smith, Trumbuii
and Julian-were in their seats.
During the proceedings President Wells
stated that the board would decline to hear
any motions or protests whatever.
The Democratic counsel objected to an entry
on the minutes to the effect that Rule of the
board had been modified so far as to allow the
admission as rebutting evidence ex- parte affida-
Wits in contested cases.
den modification of the rule on the ground
that change had been made after the appli-
cation of the counsel for a modification had
been refused and that thus the Democratic
committee had lost the opportunity of prepar-
ing rebutting affidavits, whereas this privilege
has been accorded to the Republicans. The
protest was not read or acted on, but was re-
ceived and laid aside.
McGloin counsel for the Democratic candi-
dates, filed a request that the ballot boxes of
East Baton Rouge be sent for in order that the
tally sheets and statements OF votes sealed up
in four of the boxes could be obtained and the
vote counted. The documents were sealed up
in boxes through ignorance of the law on the
part of the commissioners of election.
The.secretary of the board was instructed on
Saturday to telegraph for the boxes, but failed
to do so on plea of want of funds. Sufficient
money to pay all the expenses was deposited
by the Democratic COUNSEL and the necessary
message was sent.
There were Democratic majorities at the
polls where the above mistake was made aud
unless the tally sheets are procured the vote
will be thrown out.

suit for $4,000 damages against the preprietors
of the Astor House for refusing to let him
have his room. which had been engaged for
him on his recent arrival from Europe. His

names as Miss Clark and sister, arrived here
yesterday and took room at the Putnam

The Billiard Tournament.
The billiard tournament was continued to

was made by Dion. The next game was be-
tween Rudolphe aud Daley. The game was
played very quickly and Daley was badly beat
en- on making 122. Rudolphe made runs of p,
r. SO and Sc, and his average was 81 81, which

Advance in Freight Rates.
The officers of the Michigan Central Rail
road and Grand Trunk line Of Canada have
given notice to their customers that on Friday
next they will begin to charge higher rates on
all freight to the west. Whether the other
trunk lines will follow this example remains to
be seen. One of the officers of the New York
Central road said today that so far no notice of
any change in the present freight rates had
been given and no change was anticipated.
The freight rates of the Michigan Central and
Grand Trunk lines will be put cents on the
100 pounds higher than last winter. So far the
Lake Shore line has not decided to make any
change in its rates of freight The freight
agent of the Erie road has not yet been ms
tructed in the matter, but believes Mr.. Jewett
will not act entirely independent from the ar
rangements made by the other companies.

The board thereafter went into executive
session and the room was cleared of all persons
except the members of the committee
In executive session the board examined the

protests and contests in each case.
In the 18th ward of Orleans parish the SUPER

where there was majority of 173 for the Til

not been counted and returned within twenty

in this case the Interpretation is doubtful from
common sense point of view. But there is
such chronic antagonism between what is

into the courts there is danger that it will be

great national enterprise to find its project

the public treasury. They have money enough
on hand to reimburse the people, for the loan
they obtained from their representatives at the
Capital, and to pay back to the shareholders
twenty-five per cent. of their original contribu-
resortiDg to sharp practice. And to refuse to
pay the government on technicality like the
one cited would be very nearly akin to the plea
OF usury, or the setting up the statute of imi-
