Recognizes the Former.

WASHINGTON, d. c., January .-G Gene
rct G. e. Ansstr, Ne,o Orleans 1t has been
the policy OF the Administration to take no
mart in the settlement OF the question OF the
rightful government In the State OF sLouisi.
ana-at least, not until the congressional
committees now there have made their re-
ports; but it Is not proper to sit quietly by
and see the State government gradually
taken possession Of by one OF the claimants
for gubernatorial honors by Illegal means.
The Supreme Court set up by Mr.. Nichols
can receive no more recognition than any
other equal number OF lawyers convened on
the call of any other citizen OF the State. A
returning board existing in accordance
with law. and having judicial as Well as min
isterial powers over the count OF the'votes
and in declaring the result OF the late cleo
ton, have given certificates OF election to
the Legislature of the State, legal quorum
of which have, holding such certificates,
met and declared Mr.. Packard Governor.
should there te necessity for the recogni-
ton of either, it must be Mr.. Packard. You
may present copy of this to Mr.. Packard
and to Mr.. Eicolls.

ence In bringing about Grants neutral attii
tude towards Louisiana. The Louisiana

The Max.Bennett Duel.

DIR. PHELPS DISCHARGED FROM CUSTODY.
NEW YORK, January 15.-Judge Donohue
decided that DR.. Phelps was justified under
the statute in refusing to answer the grand
jury's questions in regard to the Mayhem
nett duel, but also justified Judge Glider
sleeve in committing him for contempt, as
he did not avail himself of the technicality
to the effect that his answers might crimi-
nate himself. DR.. Phelps and his counsel
appeared to-day before Judge Gildersleeye,
and application was made for his discharge.
DR.. Phelps pledged himself to appear be-
fore the grand jury tomorrow morning,
and Judge Gildersleeye, deeming that sui
ficient, discharged him on his own rccog-
nizance. .--.- !. -

The Senate and House committees OF
!, counting the electoral vote were In session
six hours to-day, and adjourned ,te
meet separately ut 100 clock, and
Jointly al. Il o'clock, tomorrow, when
Il is understood q definite result will be
reached sby agreement or final disagreement.
Nothing iii the nature OF IN ultimaWm has
been presented vet by either committee, and
hopes are still! entertained by several mem.
bers that the, final conference tomorrow
will result II. some agreement satisfactory
to both branches. The nature Of the dis
cussion is Kept profoundly secret.
The Committee on the Privileges and
Powers OF the House examined Governor
Richard Mccormack, secretary Of the Re
publican Executive Committee. Nothing
important was developed regarding the tele-
grams. He declined to answer whether
money had been raised to influence votes.
Governor cCormack will deliver such
copies Of dispatches as he may have pre-
served.
Secretary Taft has not yet given, the
opinion regarding the proper government
OF louisiana; IT was expected the Presi-
dent would take no action until this opinion
was before him; and Judge Taft at break
fast this morning knew nothing Of the Exc;
cIitiye action, which appears to have been
the result Of Sunday consultation, to which
the President, Secretaries Cameron and
Chandler, and Mr. +. ,W. stonghton were
parties. s.a;i ,s.i.! gs.JI
Detective aIcEifIesh, before the commit
tee investigating the p dice Board matter,
testified to an interview between the Presi-
dent, himself, I and Detective McDevitt, in
which the detectives laid before the Presi-
dent facts connected with the conspiracy
against Representative Whittherne. 80
William I. Mnrtagh, president OF the
Board, testified, denying NIL the statements
made by Major Richards and the detectives
except in the Whitthorne case. In this he
explained that, learning that the report OF
the Naval Committee was likely to injure
himself, and learning that Whitthorne was
q man OF loose habits, he requested Major
Richards to have him watched, in order to
expose him if it was found he visited
houses OF illrepute. He stated that Secre-
tary Robson knew nothing OF the matter.
Governor Nichols, Of Louisiana, tele-
graphs Representative Gibson as follows:
am informed that apprehensions exist that
recount of the electoral vote is to be made
here, under mandate of my Supreme Court,
and have therefore dispatched the Presi-
dent that no such intention had been enter
taincd, but that the decision touching that
vote must be made by Congress-.
