LOUIsIANA,s ELECTION.
The Full Democratic Ticket Elected by
Good MajOrities.

NEW ORLEANS, April 23.-Election re-
turns are coming IN slowly. Up to noon
returns had been received from only 40
precincts, showing a good majority for
the regular Democratic State and city
tickets.
NEW ORLEANS, April %, P. MA
recapitulati0n of the returns so far made
OF yesterdays election, including thirteen
OF the seventeen wards of this city, gives /:
For Governor, McEuery 1923, Stevenson
|, ,l23; for Mayor, GuillOtte 6,743, Behan
LIS, Penn SO.
NEW ORLEANS, April %, IL 80 P. M
Dispatches from all sections of the State,
with very few exceptions, show the sue
cess of the Democratic State and parish
tickets. The indications are that Steven
son carried st. Landry, st. Onbry, St.
Martins and East Baton Rouge parishes {:
that even in these the vote for parish Of
hcerS and members of the Legislature is
very close, the chances being in favor Of
the Democrats. The Official returns will
probably elect the Democratic State ticket
by 10000 majority. The official returns
for the city have not yet been completed,
but they will give the regular Democrats
probably 5000 majority. The State,
parOchial and municipal elections
throughout the State were quiet, and gen
orally light vote was pOlled.
THE RESULT AT SHREVEPORT.
SHREVEPORT, La, April 23.-Mr. Cur
ril Democracy was elected Mayor by 81
majority over UtZ, also a Democrat. 1t
is generally conceded that the Republi-
can State ticket, headed by Stevenson,
has majority here, a large number of
Democrats voting for it.

NEW YORK, April 23.-Inquiry into the
adulteration of mustard in this city that
was caused by the discovery that certain
manufacturers were colOring an adulte-
rated article with naphthal yellow, a
dangerously explosive compound, has
been completed by DIR. Cyrus Edison, and
the result submitted to the Board of
Health. DR.. Edison says that his expert
ments with naphthal yellow showed thatit
was a violent instant poison. Steps viii be
taken to punish the manufacturers OF this
adulterated mustard on a repetition of
the Offense. The report states that sam
pies of mustard besides being adulterated
with napthal yellow contained from Is to
go per cent. of flour and to 30 per cent.
of terra alba. The report sets forth that
the peculiar danger Of this adulteration
is the fact that mustard is relied on in
cases Of poisoning as an emetic, and that
the death of a patient may follow i'm the
event of its failure to act,

since he first came to Washington. Very
few people appreciate the mOdesty of this
man, but the truth is that when he first
came here he was so extraordinarily quiet
that Mr.. Randall, who was then Speaker,
did not know of his existence and failed
to put him on a single standing committee
of the House. That was only SIX years
ago, too, and yet the quiet man who was
not deemed worthy of recognition, al

writes from Jacksonville, Fla, stating that
the Cubans at Key West are having quite
a serious time over the AguerO expedi-

time they landed, and he believes the
Cubans intend to make a good fight for
independence. They seemed very deter

Americans at Key West strongly sympa-
thized with them. The correspondent

was hailed by the revenue cutter Dix. The

Mr.. Campbell predicts that in less than
thirty days the public will hear that the
Spanish Consul at Key West has been
killed, and that in two years Cuba will
no longer be subject to Spanish rule.

The Former Tells the Latter that He is

WASHINGTON, April 23.-An amusing lit
tie spat occurred between SenatorPike and
ex-senator Rollins, of New Hampshire,
yesterday. 1t seems that since Mr.. Rol-
Inns retired from the Senate he has pre-
sumed to have a guardianship over his
successor, and has not been stinting of
his advice to him. He has frequently ad-
vised Senator Pike to vote for this measure
and against that one, and has not hesItat-
ed to give him his opinion. Yesterday he
went upon the floor of the Senate. sat
down by Senator Pike and began telling
him what he ought to do on pending
matter. Senator Pike listened atten-
lively. then looked his advisor
hard in the face and remarked with
warmth, 81 want to just tell you, Mr..
Rollins, that am the Senator now, not
you, and that 1 shall vote and do as l
please" Yes" replied ex-senator Rol-
Inns, sit is true that you are a Senator,

Congressman Whose Constituents
Can't get Clear of Him.
WASHINGTON, April 23.-General Le-
Fevre of Ohio is called the agricultural
statesman, because he can distribute
more reports on the subject and more
seeds than any four other members of the
House. General LeFevre will receive
the nomination of his Congressional dis
trict to come back to the next House.
The people of that district certainly did
not think he would. Four years ago he
told his constituents that if they would
send him then he would never be
a candidate again. The next
time he told them he wanted to
represent them just once more, and then
he would certainly give way to somebody
else. The State was redistricted. Gen.
LeFevre was put into a district compris-
ing three counties that he had never be-
fore been thrown into contact with.
When he announced a short time ago that
he would try to come back again there
was considerable surprise. He was con-
fr0nted with his numerous statements
that he would be a candidate no more.
"But," he said, ''you see l am in new
district. want to represent the new dis
trict Just once, and then 1 will certainly
give way" AS five of the six counties
are for him, he will doubtless be nOmina-
ted lust once more.

tional Bank of the Republic, of New York

J. W. Wallace, of Augusta. also made
a touching speech in reply, which made
him many friends. Said he:

the various brigades, battaliOns. regiments
and companies OF one mighty army a cOrps of
which Is stationed in this great Empire State
OF the South, and, as our reports Will show.

The reports from the various districts
show the Sunday school work progress
ing. -Four years ago but one county in
the southern part of the State was repre-
sented, and now there are 122 of the 1856
counties with a representation here. The
day has been spent in devotional eXer-
cises and the hearing Of reports. Among
those present are many distinguished
men in the State. Thirty girls from the
