THE bill introduced by Senator Gibson
enabling counties to contract certain in
debtedness, and which became a law, was
published in full in the TRIBUNE several
days ago and before any controversy
about the bridge occurred. 1t covers the
ground as fully as is possible and if any
fault is to be found it must be with the
constitutional provision that prevents
special legislation. But no matter what
the facts in the case are, the Leader must
have its snarl at Senator Gibson.

PARK ERSON INTERVIEWED.
He Expresses No Regret at What has
Taken Place.

Taken Place.
NEW YORK, March 1G.-The following
is a special to the New York Tribune
from New Orleans: II saw this morning
VIM. S. Patterson. the leader of 'Regula-
tons After some talk he was asked /:
'DO you regret what you have done!'
Not q it, said Patterson promptly.
This was a great emergency; greater than
has ever happened in New York, Gin
cinnati OF Chicago. | didn't act through
sentimental or personal interest for Hen
messy. | knew him well and asked Mayor
Shakespeare to appoint him. He was "a
fine man nd an efficient officer and we felt
that when he was killed there was no tell
ing which of us would go next. While the
Malta confined itself to killing its own
members We didn't resort to violence, but
Hennessy's killing struck at the very
root of American institutions. lrtl:nida-
ton of the Malta and the corruption of
our juries are to be met only with strong
measures. Moreover ! recognize no power
above the people. Under our cOnstitu-
ton the people are sovereign authority,
and when the courts or their agent fail to
carry out the law, the authority is relega-
ted back to the people who gave it. In
this case | look upon it that We rep
resented the people, not the people
of the whole United States perhaps, but
the people of Louisiana. This is a thing
with which the United States has nothing
to do. 1t Is Il question Of state govern,
ment entirely, since the state controls its
own municipalities. | apprehend no
trouble unless from federal authorities.
II is urged that these men were subjects
of foreign potentates, but ! understand
that they were just dumped here and
that heir own governments were glad
enough to get rid of them

TRADE REPORT.

r. g. Dun & Co.'S. weekly review
says: Report of trade from all parts
Of the country show little change
since last week; though there is per-
hsps a little less activity on the whole.
The South feels the continued decline
in cotton, but trade in that section
is moderately fair, rice is firm at
New Orleans, molasses strong and
sugar dull Business at st. Louis is
only fair, and rather quiet at Kansas
City, with receipts of 1000 cattle
5000 hogs. At Denver business is
fair, at st. Paul good conditions con-
time, and at Milwaukee and Cincin-
natl trade is quiet. Detroit reports
larger trade than a year ago, and
Cleveland a general business as good
as usual, with exceptional demand
for rol]ed iron products, but at Pitts
burgh while the failure to settle the
coke strike stiffens most prices, struct-
ural iron is shaded, and window glass
is weak. Chicago reports an extraor-
dinEy decrease in dressed beef re-
ceipts, and heavy fall in receipts of
grain, lard and hides, but large gain
incurred meats and wool. Dry goods
sales r above last years, with col
lsetions easy; in clothing and shoe
salss are also larger than a year ago,
but collections not quite 80 satisfac-
tory. Trade is generally good at
Boston, but better in materials than
manufactured products. Some grades
Of leather are tirmer and coal more
active, and hides firm, but prices
Of boots and shoes do not improve.
Al Philadelphia iron is firmer and
coal more active, chemicals in fair
demand, but tobacco quiet with slow
collections, wool rather scarce with
worsted spinners busy at a profit,
and jobbers in the shoe trade report
ing good orders, though buyers are
careful.
The only speculative market that
~ declined during the week is the
cdtton market, receipts showing an
i~ABrease of 47,OOO bales over last year
ed exports an increase of 1900.
Re fall of an eighth puts the price
cs5se to the lowest ever recorded in
thu market since 1854. But wheat
has risen over / cent, oats II cents,
and corn nearly 2 cents, coffee an
eighth, oil p cents, butter 5 cents,
and pork products a shade. 1t is
difficult to see why wheat should sd-
vance, with Western receipts largely
e1ceeding those for corresponding
veeks last year, with the visible sup
ny we'll maintained, and exports fall
ing off. Thus far this week, for in
lance, wheat exports r not half
leBt years for the same days, -four
kports only one-ninth. The specu-
i've wave which began with the
aspect of free silver coinage last
ring, will receede in time, not to
Ne advantage of those who hold large
pcks Of products.

ATTEMPTED BURGLARY.

Professional Burglars Enter the House of George E. Whittemore but
 are Frightened OG Without Secur-
 ing Any Plunder.
 Between the hours of 7:30 and 9 o'clock Monday evening professional burglars at | tempted to effect an entrance into the house of George E Whittemore, AS Yer non street, through cellar window. The burglar or burglars were provided with jimmies and all the other tools of profes- sionals, and the systematic manner in which they went about the business and laid their plans prove that they were not nevices in their line of work.
 About 7:30 o'clock on the evening in question MT. Whittemore and his family went out visiting and it is supposed that their return later in the evening was what frightened the burglars away.
 The burglars effected an entrance into the cellar by means of the cellar window and sscended the cellar stairs to the first floor, but found the door locked. They tried by means of pincers to turn the key of the cellar door, which had been left in the lock, but the key broke of and they were unable to do anything fur ther in this direction. The burglars then retraced their steps and going back into the yard secured long ladder and placed it against the house and went to work up- on one of the second-story windows. They succeeded in breaking of the catch on the window, but were unable to secure an en- trance, as MT. Whittemore has the windows fastened down by means of large steel nails fastened into the side of the window The men then placed their jimmies under the sash and were attempting to pry it up when they were interrupted and made good their escape, leaving all their tools behind them. The matter was reported to the authorities, but up to the present time there is no clue to the identity of the thieves

Why Did They Striker

Yesterday morning the blacksmiths in the employ of Palmer & Bishop of 39 and Al George street went out on @ strike. Ac- cording to the statement of the employers the strike was brought about because 8 prominent union man, P. J. Whalen, was laid off. It was necessary that some one be laid of and SO we took one of the poor est workmen. The union has always been pestiferous, although we pay the highest wages.
 The employees deny that Whalen is 8 poor workman or that they have struck on that account, but because, as they allege, a committee from the union were abused by Palmer 6 Bishop when they called there Monday.
 They both agree that the strike was not brought about because the men were asked | to work after o'clock or Saturdays a: published in an evening contemporary.

Coy Tells the Story of His Awful
 Crime.
 PrrTsF1ELD, Oct. 20.-William Coy to- day confessed the murder of John Whalen, whose body was found buried on the mountain side at Washington last Tues day. He says he learned Saturday, August 29, that Whalen had planned an elopement with Mrs. Coy. When he reached home late Saturday night Whalen was absent. He went into the house to get lantern and started to hunt up Whalen. He could find no trace of him, and returned to the house, found Whalen's trunk standing in his room. He broke it open and found his wife's clothing packed inside While examining the trunk WhaIen came in. This was between 9 and o'clock in the morning Whalen asked Coy what he was doing at his trunk and quarrel followed.
 According to Coy's' story, Whalen stepped outside aud returned with an ax and club and then struck Coy with his | fist, knocking him into 8 corner. Whalen | then seized the ax and struck twice at | Coy, who grappled with him and after a l sion of the ax Whalen then seized the club and as he tried to strike Coy, the lat ter hit him with the ax, smashing in his skull. Whalen fell dead.
 Coy spent an hour in deciding what to do. He finally took the ax and cut Wha- lens throat to make sure of his death, then dragged the body into the yard and left it, while he cut the bloody pieces out of the carpet and bedding and burned them. He then went into the yard, cut the legs from Whalen's body with the ax ard carried the remains up the mountain and buried them
 Coy says he killed Whalen in self-de. fense and exonerated George Kelly and Mrs. Coy, saying that they knew nothing about the crime. When asked how hs came to have so much money immediately after Whalen's disappearance he became reticent, but finally said Whalen gave it te him in consideration of his saying nothing about his (Whalen's) intimacy with Mrs Coy.

Entertainments. HYPERION THEATER,

The nautical opera Ship Ahoy, which was presented last evening at tht Hyperion, is one of the most original and amusing productions of the day. It ii thoroughly American, and in thls in ( great measure lies its popularity. As il has no touch of foreign spirit it appeal. strongly to an American's love of the far cical and absurd. The theater was filled to nearly it's utmost capacity. The audi, ence was appreciative and enthusiastic modore's song in the second act is one of the most pleasing parts of the program, and was encored several times. The song of Captain Mapleson Mulberry, manager Oriole Opera company, Did ever occur to youW was even more enthusiastically received. The singing and dancing of Miss Edith Murills, the leader of the chorus, also called forth storms of ap- plause and several encores. The com pany is almost entirely the same as when it was here last September, but in new and picturesque costumes. MT. Eddy Read way, in the role of "Christy," is deserving of special mention. His part was a very "active" one. There has probably no farcical opera ever made greater success than this in as short time, as last spring witnessed its first production.

A DisSraceful Session of the C

A Disgraceful Session of the City
 Council of Quincy, HI.
 QUINCY, H., Oct. 20.-A disgraceful scene occurred in the city council meeting last night. In debate over sewer building which Mayor Thompson refused to indorse, Alderman Harrop called the mayor "a miserable puppy" and - rebel" and said he would do him up yet. The mayor said: "Sit down or I'll throw the gavel at you" They almost came to blows and someone heard a revolver click. Alderman Swimmer was also called "a - Jew" by Harrop, and for awhile it looked as if the entire meeting would break up in bloody row.
