Noon Associated Press Report.l
New ORLEANS, April lS.-The
Washington specials show that the
Nichols legislation have adopted the
programme for organizing the legisla-
ture on the face OF original returns.
This was submitted 10 Packard by the
commissioners. Packard thought IL
was an admirable plan for the democ-
racy. He was unwilling 10 commit
himself, and unable to commit his
party to the programme, and the COM
mission Itself was not prepared TO pro-.
nounce In its favor.
The feeling here Is that the commits
sioners are making little progress. The
administration seems disposed TO allow
the commission TO find In its own way
out, and to accord 1t reasonable time.
But II Is settled in Is policy of with
drawing moral and physical support
from either government.
Should Packard refuse TO max o terms,
those most familiar with the executive
mind are most positive in the opinion
that the president will allow the gov
eminent OF the state to remain In
Nicholas hands. 1t will require means
which the president will not use TO
place Packard in power.

Both houses Of the Packard legisla-
ture met in joint caucus at II o'clock,
There were eighty-three mem bers pres.
ent,including Washington and Brooks,
two colored members recently acting
with the Nichols house.
General Mcmillan, on part OF the
executive committee, laid before the
caucus an official copy of the resolu
ton passed by the Nichols Legislature
yesterday, and which were received BY
him from the commission. He called
attention to the long struggle the
members had undergone In their Of.
forts to establish and maintain the
legal state government; said he de-
plored the necessity for admitting that
their efforts had failed; and regretted
that repeated appeals to the president
for aid had been silently ignored. The
assurance of mem bers of the commits
sion, authoritatively II not officially
given, that the president would not
recognize either governor and would
certainly Withdraw the troops, brought
them face to face with the inevitable /;
without the support of the general
government their cause was hopeless.
Under these circumstances what did
sound policy demand? Clearly to
look the inevitable In the face and
make the most they could out OF the
situation for those whose represents
tives they were, and in the interest of
those who have sacrificed much to aid
in maintaining the struggle.
In reply to a question, General
Mcmillan said the document
had 10 endorsement from the
commission favorable or otherwise,
but 1t had been handed to him by the
commission, and, at their suggestion,
he had subsequently invited number
of memb beers Of the legislature to meet
the commission aud discuss the mat
ter.
Mr.. W. H. Dinkgrove, of Madison,
said he was one of the memb ers sent
for by the commission, and be would
repeat, "a accurately as he could re-
member, what took place at that in
terview. The commission stated that
they had been here now two weeks as
agents Of the president, trying to see
If some plan OF adjustment could not
be adopted. AS republicans, the COM
mission said they deeply sympathized
with us In our struggles and sacrifices,
but after two weeks labor they have
come to the conclusion Tone OF the
commission here interlaced words not
as commission, but as indi-
viduals; that the terms offered
in proposition which has been han dee

BENNETT-MAY.
A Full Account of the Duel, as 1iyen by am Eyewitness.


 NEW YORK, Jan 1S.-The Trib- une publishes the first accurate account of the Bennett May duel. It is the story of an eye wituess, who saysthe first shot fell to Mir. May. Tue arrangements having l.een conpleted the principals took their positions at about twelve ards apart; the pistols were losised and handed to them, and the second retired to one side. Then came the question, aAre yCi readyw Immediately. and bepre the "ore" could De given, Nr. May raised his pistol, took hssty aim and pulled the trigger. The weapon missed fire. On receiving the intimation that it was is turn, Mir. Bennett rais- ed his iistol, cried scornfully, II could kIl you W if wished" :" and pdnting it into the air fired quickly. The duelists then salut- ed eaet otber, when suddenly overcom by shame and mortifi- cation, b the utmost amazement of all prisent, Fred. May turned and hurried away unable lorger to face Is disgrace. No words passed btween the principals at any t.nle inring the meeting, ex- cept Mlr. Bennett's remark when lie fired Is pistol in the air. As soon asstle retreating duelist was ont of sight the rest of the party returned Q the railroad station.
 MT. Ma betrayed nervousness strangely at variance with his reputation as a cool and accurate mark Mir. Bennett, on the other banI, showed no signs of trepidatioI either in speech or manner aul from the first seemed to look upa the meeting as q dis agreeable nther than dangerous occurrence
