Attorney General Rogers Says He Gov
cred His Illegal Acts With False Vouch.
els.
New ORLEANS, October 81 asked
Attorney General Rogers to-day about
the illegal issue of State bonds. He
seems to have been nettled by a state
mert made by ex-Treasurer Burke in
London that the Attorney Generals
action was guided by political animos-
iIy and spoke more freely than he has
heretofore.
"Major E. A. Burke has committed a
mosg grievious outrage against people
who had honored and trusted him. y
He said: "You may say for me that
Major Burke is guilty He has drawn
out of the State treasury and from a spe.
cial fund $40,S without right, and
covered up his act by depositing false
vouchers. He has put upon the market
1903 900 of State bonds which had been
declared void and which had been. en-
trusted to him to be destroyed. He re-
ported they had been destroyed. He
deliberately made further issue OF
$40, O,O0O of other securities and through
others placed them in the various banks
of the city and money has been obtained
upon them. His only duty was to keep
these sucurities and turn them over to
his successor. This, think, is enough
without saying more" The Attorney
Generals view as to the liability of the
State is not shared by the commercial
community, and if ex-Treasurer Burke
fails TO make good his promise to pro.
tect holders against a loss strong effort
will he made to secure a recognition of
the States liability and provision for the
bonds, from the Legislature.

A SILLY STORY CoNTRADIcTED.
The Revenue Cutter Rush in No Danger
from the British Columbians.


from the British Columbians.
CHICAGO, October "a dispatch from
Seattle, W. T., says: The United States
revenue cutter Rush arrived here yes
terday from Alaska. Lieutenant Com
maDder Shepard was interviewed about
rumors current here for a. few weeks
that the British Columbians were lying
in wait for him to punish him for seiz-
ing British schooners. The commander
smiled and said he had not heard of any
such threats until he had read them in
the papers on his arrival at Port Town
send. He said that he did not believe
anything of the kind had been uttered,
and the statement must have come from
irresponsible parties. If there was any
truth in it and he could have been ap-
prised in time he would have steamed
into Victoria and would have shaken
the American flag in the faces of the
Victorians. He said he was on good
terms personally with prominent men of
Victoria, and did not believe that any
indignity to the American government
or his ship would be countenanced by
the people of Victoria.

THE AUSTRALIAN BALLOT SYSTEM
How It Worked in Chattanooga-A Re-
publican Victory.

CHATTANOOGA, October S.-The first
election in this State under the Austria
liam system of voting occurred here to-
day in the municipal election. 1t was
the quierest election ever known in the
city. Less money was used at the polls
and there was less illegal voting than in
any previous election. A light vote was
poiled and the election resulted in the
election of John A Hart (Rep.) for
Mayor by 42s majority, and ten Repub-
licans our of sixteen Councilmen, with
two Councilmen tie. The Republicans
will continue their efforts to test the
consttutionality of the new election and
registration laws.

MONTANA IS DEMOCRATIC.
The Election of a Democratic Governor
and Legislature Conceded by the Repu


HELENA, Montana, October S.-The
election of Joseph Toole (Dem.) for Gov
ernor is now conceded by a majority of
from 300 to 600. Cater (Rep.) }, for Con-
gress, has 1000 majority. The Demo
Gratis claim the Legislature by seven.
The Republicans will not concede as
much, but say that on the face of The
returns it is Democratic and claim fraud
in Silver Bow and Deer Lodge Counties.
The general opinion is that there will be
no contest and that the Democrats will
have the Governor and Legislature.
The Republicans elect Congressman
and a -arge majority of the State ticket.
The Independent (Dem.) claims the
State Senate a tie and the House by
seven majority.
Most of the Counties in the State will
make an official canvass to-day, and it
is more than likely that the result will
be definitely known by this evening.

County has been entirely destroyed by
the frosts of the last three nights. The
Auditors report places the average crop
of the County at 4 100000 pounds, and
this years crop was little above thai

been housed and cured, but the rest had
been cut late and placed in open sheds

FREDERICK HOWARD.

The notorious libel suit for $780,
900 of Rev. Frederick Howard
against number of citizens of Jack
son, Tenn, has proved very damag-
ing as to the past character of
Howard. A few years ago he
taught school in Marietta, and was
ordained a Baptist minister here.
He passed as G.. +. Howard here,
but after going to Tennessee he
dropped the first initial. He mar

Hewlett. The reason he changed
his name, he said he had deserted
the 'Tigris" on its return from the
search of the Polaris. He went to
South Carolina, turned Republican,
associated with negroes, had left
because of misconduct in office as
trial justice, and afterwards run
away from Robbins, S. c., with a
married woman, Mrs. Brown. He
admitted this was all true, and
Judge Lumpkin gave him twenty
dollars and told him to take the
woman and leave Lexington, give
her half the money, separate, change
his name, go and stay not this side
of the Rocky Mountains. Two
years later he met him in the court
room in Fayetteville, Ca, and he
told Judge Lumpkin he had chang

if he had come to prosecute him.
He told him no. The case is still
on trial, and in the face of all this,
why Howard should have brought
a damage suit, is mystery to US.

is the first time we have ever known
Atlanta to sdmit that she didn't

As a summer resort for health and
pleasure, she has always intimated
that her air was the balmiest, the

in the land. AS Atlanta is an i'm
portant suburb of Marietta, we pro-
test against the insinuation that
her air is not ''fresh."
