The New Orleans Mayor.

Mayor Shakespeare, whom the
Italian Consul as well as the country
at large is disposed to hold RESPONSE
BILE or the violation of municipal law,
makes no bones about his own feel

sive, irascible man, middle.sged, of
the "Sir Anthony Absolute" type,

clared bluntly that Parkerson and
his associates did right.

Beauregard, Of the six full generals a

Cherry Grove, Va, in 1907, and was
graduated from West Point in 1920, in
the same class with Robert E. Lee. He
was appointed second lieutenant of tho
Fourth artillery, and first saw active
service in the field in 1882 in the Black
Hawk Indian expedition. He was pro-
NOTED in 1886, and was an aide-de-camp
on Gen. Winfield SCOTS staff in the
Seminole war. He participated in all
the important battles connected with
Gen. Scott's campaigns in Mexico
from the taking of Vera Cruz to the
capture of the City of Mexico. He was
thrice brevetted for gallantry during
this war, and in lS4s was mustered out
of the service as a lieutenant-colonel Of
volunteers. When the War of the Re-
bellion broke out he entered the Confed-
crate service as a major general of vol
unteers, serving until the surrender to
Sherman. He was reco gnized as Sec

The Severcst Storm Known in tho State
for Years Now Raging.
ATcHlsoN, Kan, March 26.-The Sc
verest snow storm Kansas has known in
years is nov raging in the western part
of the state. 1t began Tuesday and the
snow is more than a foot deep on the
level, and a high wind has drifted it
badly in places. The Central branch
division Of the Missouri Pacific has not
turned a wheel all day. A number Of
trains are laid out between stations.
The company is compelled to supply the
passengers and crews with food, which
is accomplished with difficulty, as the
highways are almost impossible. Dur
ing the afternoon a snow plow was
started from one of the division points
to rescue a passenger train, but the
drifting now closed in behind it and it
was finally abandoned in the drift. Ths
snow travelled eastward, and the entire
northern half Of the state, except the
eastern border, is covered with blankat
of snow.

DISASTROUS cREVAssE.

Break in the Mississippi Levee Which
Will Indundate Who'll Counties.
New ORLEANS, March ga very dis
astrous crevasse has occurred in East
Carroll parish, eight miles below Lake
Providence, in this state, on the west
bank of the river. 1t is fifty feet wide,
and as the levee is built of sand soil and
averages about ten feet in height, it will
wash away rapidly and the crevasse will
probably cause as much damage as the
one in the same parish last year. The
water will overflow cotton lands in East
Carroll, Madison, Tensas and Concordia.
The water will find its way back into
the Mississippi through the Tensas
bayou and Red river, and will have the
effect of prolonging the high water in
the lower river. If there should be rains
in the North and West, and a flood in
the Ohio untold destruction would be
likely. The river at the point where
this last revasse occurred is about
three-tenths of a foot lower than the
high water of last year. The crevasse
opposite the city is growing wider every
hOur.

FROM ALL reports we notice Il de-
cided upward turn in the manufact.
uring interests throughout the coun-
try. Everything goes to show that
in the near future trade in American
manufactures, especially in wooden
goods, will be better than for years
past. Thus does the Mckinley bill
vindicate itself. Since the reduction
of the tariff in 1883 manufacturing
interests surely have been decidedly
dull, but proof of the wisdom of the
last congress is already at hand. The
movement set Oh foot some time ago
of starting foreign manufacturing
plants in this country has already
materialized, as several well equipped
plants operated soly with foreign
capital are already in operation in
this country. Another feature no.
ticeable is the starting up Of ma
chinery that has during the de-
preston been idle, in some cases for
several years, and statistics show
that with the exception of some few
luxuries and goods in fancy lines, the
prices have not advanced and wooden
goods are as cheap to-day as before
the tariff bill went into effect. We
cannot see how this condition of
affairs can fail to benefit the wool
grower. The wooden industry of to.
day ranks among the first of oul
great industries. The American
wool reporter thus describes the
situation:
There is another point that needs tc
be considered, and it is the key note
of the situation; the domestic manu-.
facturer is consuming a larger guam
tity of wool than lie has at any time

uNEARrHED BY THE WORLD.

An Alleged Republican Project to Garry
Montana in 800.
NEW YORK, March IA special to
The World from Butte, Mont, says a
movement has been begun by the lead
ers of the Republican party in Washing
ton to throw Montana into the Republi-
can column in 1892, insure the election
of Saunders to the senate, steal three
electoral votes from the Democracy, and
contest the seat of Representative-elect
Dixon. The object of the Republicans
is to disfranchise 1000 naturalized citi-
zens, all Or nearly all of whom are Dem
ocrats, because Of a technical error in
the process of naturalization. This En-
ror was the swearing of the men in the
open air instead of in the Office of the
city clerk. The case of Mrs. Langtry
will be taken as a precedent, her natural
ization having been declared irregular
and void by the United States because
the oath was administered at her room
in a hotel instead of in the clerks office.
It is the intention of the projectors of
the scheme to keep the cases pending
until after the next presidential election
so that in the meantime the 1000 men
will be kept from voting.

PROCTOR NAV RESIGN.

The Secretary of War Said to Have an
Eye on y Senatorial Seat.
New YORK, March ga special
from Washington to The Herald says
that Redfeld Proctor. secretary Of war,
will shortly resign. The information, il
says, is obtained from trustworthy
sources and may be accepted as abso-
lutely true. The reasons alleged for
this action are that Mr.. Proctor finds
his business interests in Vermont haze
suffered greatly from the lack of his
personal attention. It is also stated that
another reason for the secretary's retire.
ment is that he desires to be United
States senator to succeed Mr.. Edmunds
or Mr.. Morrill,, should either of them
retire before the expiration of their
terms, and his chances of working up
the necessary support will be better in
Vermont than in Washington.

Revenue Tax Receipt Does Not Give
Authority for the Sale of Liquors in
Defiance of State Laws-A New Form
of Receipt Adopted.
WASHINGTON, March 23.-An interest
ing decision in regard to government
internal revenue tax is embodied in a
letter just sent out by Assistant Secre-
tary Nettleton to internal revenue col
%lectors. 1t is as follows:
"Letters are frequently received at the
department stating that in many parts
of the country retail liquor dealers claim
to hold a permit or license from the
United States for carrying on their bust
ness; that in many cases where local
law prohibits public drinking places the
law is openly violated by persons who
claim to do business under at least the
moral sanction of a federal license and
that this fact, together with the belief
common among many good citizens that
the United States government does in
fact issue such licenses greatly retards
the enforcement of wholesome restrfc-
tive laws and promotes disorder.
"Itshould be unnecessary to state that
the United States government does not
issue a license or permit of any nature
to any person in any state to carry on
the business of retail liquor dealer, and
it is difficult to understand how any in
telligent citizen can be imposed upon by
the opposite claim. Congress having
levied a revenue stamp tax of $a per
annum on the business Of retail liquor
dealer, the commissioner Of internal
revenue endeavors 10 collect this tax,
wherever and by whomsoever the bust
ness is carried on, but no semblance of
permission, express Or implied, is given
by the United States government in its
revenue laws or otherwise, to begin OF
continue such business in any place con
trary to state or local legislation.
| was to make clear this purpose Of
carefully respecting state laws and pc.
lice regulations prohibiting or restrict.
ing the liquor traffic that congress enact.
ed, section 3,243 Of the revised statutes.
In order that this purpose, as thus
embodied in the law, may be autAorita'
lively announced wherever the tax il
collected, a change has been made in the
form of the United S61es stamp issued
to retail liquor dealers as evidence that
they have paid such tax. The new form
which will go into use July ! next, read

Sowing wheat for the Lord,

Aberdeen, S. D., March se.-Some
months ago Presiding Elder F. A. Bur-
dick, called a meeting in this city of all
the Methodist pastors of the Aberdeen
district, and put before them the plan
of sowing acres of wheat for the liquida-
ton of church debts. The pastors took
to the idea, aud after talk with the poo
pie found the farmers would furnish the
land and do the work, if the church
would furnish the seed. The general
societies of the church, which have their
headquarters in the East. then took hold
of the matter, and shortly announced
that the money for the seed should be
forthcoming. Talking with Rev. Bur-
