The Criminal and Civil Cases to be
Pushed by the State.
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 23.-The grand jury
have submitted their report on the baby
bonds steal, in which they say: ''There is
no doubt that in February, 1885, then the
treasurer Of the state E. A. Burke, ordered
from the state treasury at Baton Rouge
almost all Of the baby bonds there held for
the purpose Of exchanging; that he re-
ceived them in this city, and, after receiving
them here, placed them on the market.
Some he placed as collateral to secure loan
and others he sold outright. A large num-
Der are now In the hands Of citizens of this
city. The number paid in for taxes will
probably not exceed S., ,000
AMOUNT OF THE ILLEGAL ISSUE.
eve feel justified in estimating tho
illegal issue of the, bonds at 1920, ,000"
Two indictments were found in blank, one
for embezzlement and the other for forgery.
They were presumably against ex-Treasurer
Burke.
Attorney General Rogers, in conversation
with reporter to- day, said: "This ends the
work of the grad jury in the bond fraud
cases. Suits will now be begun in the civil
court for the recovery of the moneys
lost to the state and the prose-
cution against those indicted will be
pushed forward. | am Of the opinion
that at the next session Of the legislature a
liberal sum will be offered as reward for
the apprehension of ex-Treasurer Burke,
should he not be found in the jurisdiction
of the court before that time"

ing the provisional election held here by the
natives last month, which resulted in the
choice Of Mataafa as king and Malietoa as
vice-king, the followers Of Tamasese last
week elected Malietoa king and Tamasese
vice-king. All the foreign residents of
Apia are anxious to have the question as to
who shall be ruler Of Samoa settled by the
three nations represented in the recent
Berlin conference. The selection of Mataafa
last month was merely a temporary ar
rangement, and the natives look TO the
three powers to settle the difficulty for
them. There has been no trouble among
the natives recently, and the reports sent
out from here month ago saying there
was fighting on the islands were not
correct.
SAMOAN FEVER AMONG SAILORS.
Considerable alarm has been felt hero on
account OF the death Of several sailors on
the German man-of-war Sophie, and re-
port that their death was caused by typhus
fever. A number Of other sailors we're i'll.
and the Germans established hospital on
shore for their accommodation. The Ameri-
can and British residents became alarmed
and complained to their respective consuls
who asked the captain Of the Sophie,
for an explanation. In his reply
to Consul Blackjack the captain ad-
mttted that the malady was typhus
fever but subsequently the surgeon of the
Sophie and United States Surgeon Adams
and the resid ent German physician held
consultation and prom unce the dlease
Samoan fever, known as "tota velan or
hot bl)oi." The Sophie's surgeon attrib-
uted it to the decaying Of the wrecks of
the Trenton and tho other war vessels lost
in the hurricane last March. However, the
Germans removed the sick sailors to
remote part Of the town, where two Of them
have since died
WRECKED ON A CORAL REEF.
A boat containing nine men Of the Flying
Venu', from Puget Sound for Melbourne,
which was wrecked at Penryhn Island,
arrived here two weeks ago. The Flying
Venus was about four miles from land
when she struck on coral patch. The
vessel soon went to pieces, and all hands
escaped to land. Nine of the crew came

GERONIMO'S BAND.

Secretary Proctor May Go to Mount
Vernon to Inspect the Place.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 2S.-Secretary Proc
tor is endeavoring TO make such arrange
ments as will enable him to leave the city
during the Christmas holidays in company
with Gen. Crook and Capt. Pratt, superin-
teudent Of the Carlisle Indian school, for
the purpose of making a personal visit of
Inspection to Mount Vernon barracks, Ala.
where Geronimo and his band of Apache
Indians are now imprisoned. An
effort was made earlier in the GEAR to
secure the removal of these Indians to a
tract of land in North Carolina, which the
Indian Rights Association offe ed to pur-
chase. Gov. Fowle of that state objected
to the scheme in very vigorous language,
and Secretary Proctor declined to order
their removal, especially as evidence had
been given him from prominent medical
authority that it would be dangerous to
send the Indians to q more northern point,
in the view Of the fact that they are exceed
ingly susceptible to pulmonary diseases.
CONFLICT OF OPINIONS.
Since then, however, there have been
other ideas on this subject advanced from
other medical authorities, and the secretary
decided that it was time for the layman to
open his eyes when he found doctors disa-
greeing. He has been informed by the
surgeon of the barracks that the tribe is
unusually sickly this year, and that there
is special difficulty found in preventing the
spread of tendency to consumption that
is characteristic of the tribe. He received
a letter yesterday from Capt. Pratt, who
argued strongly against the removal of the
Indians to higher latitude or altitude.
The secretary hopes to find solution of the
problem by personal scrutiny Of the condi-
ton at the barracks.

In the New York delegation, very much as
Senators Quay aud Cameron are sup
posed to control votes in the Pennsylvania
delegation. Messrs. Bslden and Platt, like
Messrs Quay and Cameron, are in favor OF
the elec ION Of Mr.. Reed. Mr.. Reeds
friends say that Messrs. Platt aud Belden
reassured Mr.. Reed that he would get the
two-thirds Of tue New YORK delegation
necessary TO bind the delegation to vote as
unit.

New 70 in addition to the % of New
England and the 2l of Pennsylvania he has

claims, within dozen votes of the number
necessary to nominate. Naturally his
rivals deny that he has secured either the
New York or the Pennsylvania delegation.

apparent shape. The calling of the caucus

The House demo Gratis will hold their eau
Gus next Saturday evening, and will re-
nominate Speaker Carlisle, Clerk Clark,
and the rest of the officers of the House, in
cluding Chaplain Milburn, the eloquent

lain Mllburn may be reelected. Rev. DR..
Chester, the republican candidate for chap
lam, has prosperous Presbyterian
church ON Capitol hill. while DIR.
Mllburn has no regular income, and
really needs the chaplain's salary. Many
of the republican members sympathise with
Dr. Milburn, and some of them may vote
for him, especially as the chief argument
for Rev. Chester is that he wrote cam
paign tract last year, setting forth the
moral beau les Of protection.

MRS soUrawoRrHs DEFENSE.
Counsellor Rummel viii Defend on
The Ground of Insanity.

The Ground OF Insanity.
NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-Mrs. Hannah B.
Southworth, who murdered Stephen L..
Pettus yesterday, spent a very restless
night in her cell This morning there was
slight improvement in her condition. The
city physician has given orders that Mrs
Scuthworth be kept as quiet as possible, and
In consequence the prison warden has is
sued peremptory orders that no
one outside of the woman's
counsel and relatives be permitted to see
her. The warden stated that it was ex-
pected that Mrs. S uthworth would. be
much quieter by tomorrow, aud might be
inclined to speak about the tragedy. The
counsel for the murderess called at the
prison early to-day and talked with his
client long time.
PLEA OF INSANITY.
When seen later on and questioned as to
the line Of the defense. he replied that the
defense undoubtedly would be insanity.
There was no doubt Mr.. Hummel said, that
Mrs. Southworth was insane His client
was incoherent in her statements to-
day, the result Of the great shock
her nervous system had sustained,
but In day or two she would be more
rational. AS matters stand, Mrs. South
worth's statement of her many wrongs is
quite clear enough to enable the counsel to
grapple with the case.
W. B. Martin, the woman's brother, was
among her first callers. 1t was with her
brother that Mrs. S)uthworth lived. The
scene between the brother and sister was of
a very affecting character. She seemed to
forget her position, as almost all her
inquiries were made concerning her
mother.
Number Of curious persons visited the
Tombs court this mornl e, thinking Mrs.
Southworth would be brought there. They
were disappointed Next Tuesday she will
be at the inquest.

in the basement of the four-story storehouse
of the dry goods firm of Sharpless Bros, on

house is in the rear Of the large retail dry
goods establishment of Sharpless Bros, and
is connected Herewith by corrugated
iron passage way. Several employees we're

there is said to have been over 800, 900
worth Of goods on the four floors. The fire
was right in the centre Of the dry goods
district, and the entire fire department of
the city was called out. For a time it was
feared that more of the large houses sur
rounding the building on fire would be
burned, but the efforts of the fire depart
ment prevented this.
