BOOMER BURKE.
He is Safely Housed and Free from Ex-
tradition.

He is Safely Housed and Free from Ex-
tradition.
NEW ORLEANS, December 25th.-Some time
ago the Grand Jury OF the parish of Orleans in
dicted Major E. A. Burke, eX-State Treasurer of
louisiana and ex Director General of the
Worlds Exposition at Hew Orleans, and who
was political leader here for years, on thir-
teen charges of forgery, embezzlement and mis-
appropriation of public funds. Major Burke
was charged with taking from the State vau is
and applying to his own use $4,000 worth OF
bonds belonging to the State agricultural and
seminary funds and over-issuing and selling
s400 600 of the percent State bonds.
AT the time OF the indictments Major Burke
was in London, negoti4ting for the sale of val
liable mining property in Honduras, conceded
to him by President Bogram, of the Republic,
and running along the Guayane river for twen-
ty-one miles. Notwithstanding the indictments,
Burke remained in London organizing and float
ing his Central American Company, and seemed
to occupy high position in financial circles
there. In the meantime the State authorities
of Louisiana applied to the Secretary OF state
for extrsdition papers against Burke. There
was some little hitch over these, aud q conse-
Qpent delay. When it was announced that the
papers had been granted, or were to be, Burke
suddenly disappeared from London Since
then he has been lost sight of altogether. He
was reported in Belgium, in Spain, in Africa,
and in half-a-doz5n other countries. The Lou
isiana authorities announced that they would
pursue him wherever he went, but no one, not
even his closest friends, knew his Whereabouts.
A letter received by a banker of this city rom
an official of Honduras st Puerto Cortez, i'll thst
country, says that Burke has arrived in Teguei-
galpa. The principal city of Honduras, and Is
there now. He came by the Hamburg line to
Jamaica, from there to Colon, thence TO Panama
and so on to Amapala, on the Pacific coast OF
Honduras. It is said that ne has $50 COO CT
$500, COO with him. and that he is going to his
mines.
1t seems from this that Burke has run the
gantlet safely ,and escaped the Louisiana su-
thorities and all extradition papers. There is
10 extradition treaty whatever with Honduras,
and he cannot be touched there. Moreover. he
is a close personal friend of President Bcgram,
whom he has VISITED before, and will be pro-
tected by him. he has built several public
halls there and promised to establish q techui-
cal and mercantile school and make a number
of Improvements.
AS he is very well provided with money and
is backed by number of big English capitalists,
and as his concession is Teputed to be very val
liable, Burke is liable TO play an important part
in Central America, Ike Meiggs and WinsloT in
South America.

THE EGYPTIAR DEBT.
France VIII Not Exactly Insist Upon
British Evacuation.

PARIS, December 25th.-Le Temps has an i'm
portant article on the position of the French
Government with regard to the conversion of
the Egyptian preference loan from per cent. to
per cent. stock. as proposed early in the year
by Sir Edgar Vincent. lie Tssags reports that
the Government has intimased to the British
Minister that it will no longer Insist upon the
evacuation of Egypt by England as condition
OF its assent to the conversion of this portion of
the Egyptian debt, but may consent ii England
initiates process of evacuation. by withdraw
ing part of her troops, and if it is egreed that
the profit of the conversion shall be applied to
the purpose of strengthening the Egyptian
army.
1t has been calculated that the'saving to the
Egyptian treasury by this reduction would be
equal to sS00,0G0 a year, and this money spent
upon the Egyptian army would admit of an i'm
portant reduction IN effect of the British army
without endangeriug any interes.'that the pres
enee of that army protects.
AS Lord Salisbury has hitherto refused to ne
gotiate upon the ground that the military occu-
PatiOn and debt were parts of the same ques-
tion, and as England claims the retirement of
her troops will be followed by the overrunning
of Egypt from Soudan, the prospect for the ae-
eeptance Of the French proposition isnot prom
Using.

FRESNO HAS A HERO.
f. NJ. Rustler Saves the City From Dis
astrous Flood.

FRESNO December 25th.-But for the heroic
efforts of F. NJ. Rustler. Fresno City would have
been flooded this morning.
North of the town is large canal, provided
for protection against floods, which is bridged
at various points. The heavy rains OF yesterday
doomed the canal full of water, and one bridge
which was solidly spiked together, was washed
from the buttress and lodged so as TO form 6
dam across the canal.
Rustler was ON his way home to his Christmas
tree festivities and heard the roar of the water
He went to see what occasioned it. Already
the water had backed far up the canal and had
towards the city.
Securing an axe, Rustler. at the risk of hi:
life, broke up the bridge and cleared the chan
mel.
worked Until l o'clock this morning closing uI
the break in the levee. The northern portion
of the city is flooded today by water which es
capped from the break before it was closed.
